Apple launched their latest flagship iPhones on September 14th 2021, and many fans couldn't wait to get their hands on the new phones. The new models include the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. All models have received a camera and processor upgrade, meaning customers will enjoy better performance and fantastic camera quality.
The phones use Apple’s new A15 chip and Qualcomm X60 modem, which offer the best connectivity without draining the battery percentage. Another notable upgrade on the new phones is the colour options. Apple has been offering the same colours for several years now, so many customers will be excited to have more choice. If you want to upgrade to the iPhone 13, here is a comprehensive guide on all iPhone 13 colours and models to help you decide which one is right for you.
iPhone 13
The iPhone 13 is the replacement for the iPhone 12. It received a lot of upgrades and is meant to offer better performance. Some of the notable specs of the new iPhone 13 include:
Display
It comes with a 6.1-inch display screen, which is 28% brighter than the iPhone 12. This makes it much easier for you to read in direct sunlight. It also has a resolution of 2352 x 1170 per inch and wide colour support for a viewing experience that’s easy on the eyes.
Design
Apple retained the same flat-sided design with squared-off edges used in iPhone 12. However, the new model is slightly thicker and heavier. The notch that houses the front camera, speaker, and microphone is also much smaller for added screen real estate.
Camera
The iPhone 13 has a 12MP front camera and a new diagonal dual-lens with 12MP wide and ultra-wide lenses. The wide camera offers better low light performance, while the ultra-wide lens lets in 47% more light. Thanks to the A15 chip, the iPhone 13 camera supports many photographic capabilities such as night mode for selfies, cinematic mode that automatically changes focus and depth of field, and smart HDR 4 Dolby Vision HDR video recording.
Storage
Storage options on the new iPhone 13 are offered in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
Colours
Apple introduced a new and exciting range of colours for its iPhone 13 line-up. The iPhone 13 is available in blue, pink, red, midnight black and starlight, which is a mixture of gold and silver.
Price
The iPhone 13 retails for £779 for 128G, £879 for 256GB, and £1,099 for 512GB. If you want to upgrade to the iPhone 13 for a fraction of the price, consider getting a refurbished iPhone 13 instead.
iPhone 13 Mini
The iPhone 13 Mini is the smallest phone in the line-up. It has a 5.4 OLED inch display screen, but don’t let its small size fool you! The mini has similar features to the iPhone 13, making it a small phone with big performance.
It operates on iOS 15, which can be upgraded to iOS 15. It has a 12MP front camera and a diagonal dual-lens rear camera, just like the iPhone 13. It also comes in similar colours as the iPhone 13. If you are a fan of small phones but wish to upgrade to a better operating system, the iPhone 13 mini offers exceptional performance. Prices start at £679 for 128GB, £779 for 256GB, and £979 for 512GB.
iPhone 13 Pro
The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max were this year’s high-end flagship mobile phones. The iPhone 13 Pro is one of the most powerful phones released by Apple. Its most noticeable features include:
Display
The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1 inch display screen with a resolution of 2352 x 1170 per inch. It also has an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz, which offers a faster and more responsive touch experience.
Design
The iPhone 13 Pro is remarkably similar to the iPhone 12 Pro, but it has two distinguishing features. The notch is much smaller, and the camera hump is bigger. The square around the camera lenses sticks out quite noticeably, preventing the phone from lying flat on a table. Compared to the mini and the standard iPhone 13 models, the only difference is the surgical stainless steel design used instead of the aerospace-grade aluminium design.
Performance
The iPhone 13 series uses the A15 Bionic system-on-chip. However, the pro models feature a six-core CPU, a 5-core GPU, and an upgraded neural engine. These, together with the 6GB of RAM, make the pro models unbeatable.
Camera
The pro and pro max models offer better camera specs compared to the standard and mini. In addition to the 12MP front camera, the iPhone 13 Pro comes equipped with three 12MP rear cameras. These include the wide lens, ultra-wide lens, and telephoto lens. The telephoto lens offering a 77mm focal length, 3x optical zoom range, and 15x digital zoom is exclusive to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models.
Storage
The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max storage capacity ranges from 128GB to 1TB.
Colours
The pro models are available in four colours: gold, silver, graphite and sierra blue.
