Apple has added another interesting option to its lineup with the all-new Apple iPhone 13, and on paper it looks like a device that wants to be your daily driver. Announced in 2021, September 14, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
The Apple iPhone 13 comes with a 6.1 inches, 90.2 cm 2 (~86.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, pushing a resolution of 1170 x 2532 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~460 ppi density). Colours look punchy and text stays clean, so you will not have much to complain about here. It is not trying to reinvent the wheel with its design, but it does look the part. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Starlight.
Performance & Software
Powering the Apple iPhone 13 is the Apple A15 Bionic (5 nm), paired with 4GB of RAM. That combination should handle day-to-day multitasking and most games without breaking a sweat. It runs iOS 15, upgradable to iOS 27 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
The camera setup is one of the talking points here, with a 12 MP sensor doing the heavy lifting. Point-and-shoot results are reliable, and that is exactly what most buyers want.
Battery
Battery duties are handled by a Li-Ion 3240 mAh (12.41 Wh) unit. With moderate use you can expect to end the day with charge to spare.
Our Opinion
Coming to the important bit, our opinion on the Apple iPhone 13. What you are getting is a device that quietly covers the fundamentals rather than shouting about them. It gets the basics right, offering a dependable main camera, a crisp display, which is exactly what most buyers are really after. For someone who simply wants a dependable daily driver that will not let them down halfway through the day, this ticks a lot of boxes. Is it perfect? No phone is, and you will always find a sharper camera or a faster chip somewhere else for a little more money. Overall though, the Apple iPhone 13 is easy to recommend to the right buyer.
