The bigger, more powerful iPhone Pro and Pro Max will be priced at Rs 1,19,900 for 128 GB of storage. Apple will also continue to sell the smaller iPhone Mini, which typically costs Rs 69,900 less than the standard model.
- Although the new look is identical to last year’s iPhone 12, it has numerous improvements, increasing such as a speedy new A15 Bionic CPU, better cameras, and a reduced front-facing sensor notch.
- The iPhone 13 also has enhanced 5G capability. The iPhone, which featured a faster cellular network last year, sold more than 100 million devices. However, the new iPhone 13 will help 5G reach a broader audience this year and next. It should also assist to increase Apple’s stock market valuation.

The iPhone 13 range includes some eye-catching new colours, such as Sierra blue and a pink tint that the internet has been requesting. Apple’s latest flagship phone also has a reduced notch and several other gradient changes.
iPhone 13 and 13 Mini colour options:
- Starlight
- Midnight
- Blue
- Pink
- Product Red
iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max colour options:
- Silver

- Gold
- Sierra blue
What is the iPhone 13’s screen size?
The displays on the four iPhone 13 models are the same size as those on the iPhone 12 series. The iPhone 13 Mini has a 5.4-inch screen, the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro have 6.1-inch screens, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch screen. The displays on all of the new phones are brighter.
Does the iPhone 13 Pro have a 120Hz refresh rate?
Both Pro models now have a faster refresh rate of 120Hz, making animations and scrolling seem smoother and gaming more immersive. Android phones, whether costly or not, typically have a high refresh rate screen. Until recently, the only Apple gadget with such a refresh rate has been the iPad Pro, which has an LCD screen rather than the OLED seen in the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max.
How long is the battery life of iPhone 13?
The most anticipated feature for the iPhone 13 is a larger battery. Apple did not reveal the size of the new battery, but it claims that it, combined with iOS 15, the A15 processor, and the improved display, provides 2.5 hours of battery life to the iPhone 13. (compared to the iPhone 12).
The iPhone 13 Mini should have a 1.5 hours greater battery life than the iPhone 12 Mini. That’s a major improvement: the iPhone 12 Mini’s battery life was a trade-off that some users weren’t prepared to make. So it’s wonderful to see the new Mini gain such a significant boost in less than a year.
According to Apple, the Pro versions will have a comparable improvement in battery life, with the iPhone 13 Pro receiving 2.5 hours more and the 13 Pro Max getting 1.5 hours more.
How many cameras are there in iPhone 13?




The camera system of the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini has been changed, as seen by the new diagonal arrangement of the two rear cameras. In reality, Apple claims that the altered orientation is the consequence of providing more room for a new sensor-based stabilisation system, which was previously only available on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. (The iPhone 12’s cameras were placed vertically)
All four versions feature an upgraded 12-megapixel primary camera as well as a new ultrawide lens and sensor. The upgraded hardware, along with the new A15 Bionic CPU, implies a slew of upgrades and new capabilities, including the ability to collect 47 per cent more light.
In addition, the iPhone 13 Pro features a new triple-camera system with improved lenses and sensors. The telephoto lens has 3x optical zoom, which is 1.5x more than the camera on the iPhone 12 Pro and 1.2x more than the telephoto lens on the 12 Pro Max. Take a look at the various telephoto lenses available on the iPhone 13 and 12 Pro versions below.
To put things into perspective, while this is a significant improvement for the iPhone, it still pales in contrast to the telephoto cameras on the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Huawei phones.
The iPhone 13 also includes a new Cinematic Mode for recording movies of people, pets, and objects with a depth effect and automated focus adjustments. This is comparable to the Portrait mode option that has previously been offered for still pictures. According to Apple, users may modify the degree of bokeh and change the focus during and after shooting in the Photos app and iMovie.
Apple is also adding Photographic Styles, which are personalised settings and filters that automatically apply the correct modifications to different sections of the shot to guarantee key aspects, like skin tones, are retained.
The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max do offer some unique features. Both models include an Ultra-Wide camera with a 92% improvement in low-light performance, an f/1.8 aperture, auto-focus, and a 6-element lens. The Wide camera has an f/1.5 aperture and can increase low-light performance by up to 2.2x. Finally, for the first time, the telephoto camera features a new 3x optical zoom sensor.
Among the other camera features are:
- Macro photography – Users may snap crisp, beautiful photos of items that look larger than life by magnifying them with a minimum focus distance of 2 cm.
- Smart HDR 4
- ProRes video recording
- Night mode for all three cameras
iPhone 13 series has an OLED display; the big difference is ProMotion

All versions in the iPhone 13 series use OLED screens. Promotion is a significant change in display technology. The ProMotion display on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max automatically adjusts the refresh rate of the display up to 120Hz as needed. For gaming, the display will have a refresh rate of 120Hz, while for other tasks, it will have a refresh rate of 60Hz. This function is comparable to Android phones’ adjustable refresh rate.
Wrapping It Up
The iPhone 13 isn’t a significant increase over the iPhone 12, but it does provide a number of quality-of-life enhancements. The design has essentially stayed the same, but enhanced camera functionality, significant battery life improvements, and other upgrades remain noticeable.
The rumour mill suggests that the so-called iPhone 14 will undergo a number of modifications next year, but for the time being, the iPhone 13 remains the best of the best.
