The iPhone 13 family is here, with four models to choose from: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Not sure which one to go for? Let us help you out.
We’ll show you the major benefits of each model in a moment. But first, let’s talk about a few headline-hitting features that all four share…
Super Retina XDR OLED display
The new iPhone family all have a Super Retina XDR OLED display – as did the iPhone 12 family - but this time it’s even better. It can go up to 25% brighter, so you can carry on watching or scrolling when you step out into bright sunlight.
A15 Bionic Chip
The new A15 Bionic Chip is on board each model, and it’s a real powerhouse. It’s the fastest CPU that’s ever been in any smartphone, and up to 50% quicker than the competition. It’s also incredibly power efficient, which is good news for battery life.
Cinematic Mode
Then there’s new Cinematic Mode, which we absolutely love. Start shooting a video, and the focus automatically shift with the action on screen. It can even anticipate when a new object is about to move into shot! Oh, and it works with the selfie camera too.
Got all that? Good. Now let’s take a look at what each individual iPhone has to offer…
iPhone 13 Mini
The perfect choice for anyone looking for a smaller phone, without compromising on power.
In a nutshell:
5.4-inch Super Retina XDR display
Dual 12MP rear cameras
12MP selfie camera
Apple A15 Bionic chip
iOS 15
5G ready
iPhone 13 Mini (along with iPhone 13) has a new wide-angle lens which lets in 47% more light, giving you better, brighter and clearer photos.
And thanks to that A15 Bionic Chip, you’ll get 1.5 hours more power in a day compared to its iPhone 12 counterparts.
As for storage, you’ve got 128GB, 256GB and 512GB to choose from – plenty of room for all your apps, games and files.
iPhone 13
The most popular iPhone. It’s got the right amount of everything.
In a nutshell:

iPhone 13 shares the same camera as iPhone 13 Mini, with the new wide-angle lens for shots full of detail. You’ve also got the same storage options -128GB, 256GB and 512GB.
The most noticeable difference is the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display. Less noticeable – but just as important – is the superior battery life. 2.5 hours more per day compared with iPhone 12.
iPhone 13 Pro
Perfect if you want an amazing camera, but don’t need a supersized screen.

iPhone 13 Pro (and iPhone 13 Pro Max) both have a 120Hz ProMotion display like the iPad Pro, which adjusts to whatever you’re doing. 120Hz is an incredibly high refresh rate for a smartphone, and it means smoother scrolling, gaming, and viewing.
iPhone 13 Pro (and yes, iPhone 13 Pro Max too) has a truly amazing camera, with bigger pixels and a larger aperture working together for a massive improvement in low-light situations - up to 2.2x better than iPhone 12 Pro.
The battery gives 1.5 hours more power in a day compared to the iPhone 12 model, and there’s a giant storage upgrade. As well as 128GB, 256GB and 512GB options, there’s now a fourth 1TB option. That’s roughly enough space for 250 of your favourite blockbuster movies!

We’ve saved the best to last. iPhone 13 Pro Max shares the same amazing 120Hz ProMotion display as iPhone 13 Pro, but ups the screen size to a mega 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display. It’s like having a cinema or games console in your pocket!
It shares the iPhone 13 Pro’s amazing triple lens camera, and the storage options are the same too – up to a whopping 1TB. Battery life is better than iPhone 13 Pro though… you’ll get 2.5 hours more power in a day compared with last year’s iPhone 12 Pro Max.
