Multiple Apple products launched last year, including four handsets – iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max alongside two new iPads, the iPad Mini (6th generation) and Apple iPad (9th generation).

The products were revealed during an event on 14th September 2021 that was also used to confirm the release window of the Apple Watch 7. Fans of the tech giant were recently treated to a new MacBook Air release date at the June WWDC keynote.

Compared to the previous model, iPhone 13 design changes were minimal aside from a smaller notch and some new colours, but they do come with a powerful A15 Bionic chip, upgraded cameras, better battery life and more expansive storage options.

While the new devices are available via Apple’s website, retailers and providers have stock and contract deals or offers so you don’t have to buy the iPhone 13 outright. The latest series starts at £679 for the 13 mini, up to £1,049 for the 13 Pro Max.

iPhone 13 pricing: how much is the new iPhone 13?

Prices for the standard iPhone 13 start at £779 ($799). The smallest model, the iPhone 13 mini, is marginally cheaper at £679 ($699). These prices shouldn’t be too much of a surprise and match up with the iPhone 12 models released last October.

In general, the prices go up based on the amount of storage you need, as you can see in our iPhone 13 comparison table below.

Our tester wrote: “The iPhone 13 mini [comes] into its own, however, with people looking to enter the world of smartphones. Whether that’s teenagers, and their parents, looking for a way to increase independence and older or less tech-savvy people who have never owned a device like this before. The combination of great design, easy-to-use software and premium tech makes it a great starting point.”

The iPhone 13 has a 6.1-inch display and is priced from £779 in the UK. We have had hands-on time with the model so be sure to read our iPhone 13 review.

Our expert tester gave the flagship handset 4.5 out of 5 stars and wrote: “You don’t get all the bells and whistles seen on the Pro range, so there are some sacrifices to be made, but it’s very clear why Apple has continued with its four-way handset release – the iPhone 13 offers the most appeal to the widest group possible.”

iPhone 13: design and display

With an IP68 rating, all the new iPhone 13 models are water and dust resistant. This matches up with what we’ve come to expect from the iPhone 12, which also had the same protection. While the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have a new smaller notch, their screen sizes remain the same as on the iPhone 12 models.

The iPhone 13 mini features a 5.4-inch Super Retina display, while the screen on the standard iPhone 13 is 6.1 inches. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max come with display sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively.

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are in five colours: pink, blue, midnight (black), starlight (silver) and Product (RED). The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max are available in a range of four new colours, including Sierra Blue, gold, graphite and silver.

iPhone 13 performance

The iPhone 13 features a new chip from Apple called the A15 Bionic. The tech giant claims that this is the fastest ever smartphone chip. All four models will be 5G phones, too, so they can handle super-fast internet speeds in areas with 5G coverage.

When it comes to storage, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are available in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB configurations.

However, if you love to binge Netflix episodes or download podcasts, you may want to take advantage of the huge 1TB offered by the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.

iPhone 13 battery life

With any new release, one of the main demands from users is to improve the battery life. And, Apple has listened. According to Apple, the new iPhone 13 has a battery life that should last 2.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12, while the smaller iPhone 13 mini will last 1.5 hours longer than its previous counterpart.

This is extended even further when you get to the iPhone 13 Pro models, which will last up to 3.5 hours longer and can easily be classed as an ‘all-day battery’.

iPhone 13 camera

All four iPhone 13 smartphones feature a new camera set-up. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini come with a new dual-camera set-up fitted with the biggest sensor Apple has ever put in a camera set-up of this size.

On the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, you’re paying a little more for a triple-camera set-up, including a wide, ultra-wide and telephoto lens. Apple describes it as its “biggest camera advancement ever” with 3x optical zoom on the telephoto lens.

Naturally, this comes with specialist modes, including a cinematic mode and night mode. For the Pro models, a new ProRes video mode will also be available early next year and is designed to shoot in 4K and up to 30 frames per second.
