With an enhanced camera, more storage, longer battery life, and a tiny price decrease, the iPhone 13 is a minor update to last year’s outstanding iPhone 12.
The phone’s overall design is similar to that of its predecessor. It has the same flat aluminium sides and toughened glass front and rear as previous year. Its 12g heavier and somewhat thicker, but the difference isn’t visible unless you compare them side by side.
The display is brighter, crisper, and more colourful than last year’s model. It boasts a 60Hz refresh rate, which is common for iPhones but makes scrolling less fluid than most Android competitors and this year’s iPhone 13 Pro models, which have 120Hz screens.
The iPhone 13 features Apple’s latest A15 Bionic chipset, which is marginally speedier all-around than the A14 in the iPhone 12 from last year, as well as double the beginning storage at 128GB, which should be enough for most people.

Battery Life
The battery life is exceptional. Between charges, the phone lasts roughly 46 hours, with the screen being utilized for about five of those hours, including 90 minutes of 5G browsing, which is a lot longer than most similarly sized competitors and last year’s model. The phone can last from the morning of day one to the morning of day three if you’re careful, but you’ll need to charge it every other night.
IOS 15
IOS 15, which has been compatible with all Apple handsets since the iPhone 6S in 2015, is included with the iPhone 13.
This includes new features including Siri’s quicker, local voice interpretation, enhanced notifications, and “concentration modes” to eliminate distractions, as well as a redesigned Safari browser design and FaceTime video calling with non-Apple users.
Apple is the only company that gives software updates for their cell phones for a longer period of time than any other. You may expect software and security updates for at least five years, but possibly as long as seven, allowing you to use the phone safely for longer.
Camera
On the back, there are two enhanced 12-megapixel cameras, one main and one ultra wide angle; no optical zoom is available.
Both cameras are larger and let in more light than last year’s models, with the main camera benefiting the most. Photos shot in favorable light are crisp, sharp, and well balanced, even in high contrast situations. Low-light performance has substantially improved, requiring far less frequent use of the specialized night mode while delivering sharper, more balanced images. The ultra-wide is a touch sharper and performs better in low light, making it more useful indoors.
In terms of video quality, the iPhone is still miles ahead. This year’s addition is “cinematic mode,” which resembles “rack focus,” in which filmmakers pull your attention to a person or item by blurring the foreground and background and switching focus to them when they gaze towards the camera. It’s a lot of fun to experiment with, but I can’t imagine using it to make a film.
Verdict
The iPhone 13 preserves everything that made the iPhone 12 wonderful while lowering the price by Rs 2,040.22, doubling the beginning storage, and adding two significant upgrades: a longer battery life and a better camera.
That makes it one of the best phones you can buy, especially when you consider that you can use it safely for longer than any other smartphone thanks to Apple’s five-year software support and reasonable and easy battery replacement choices.
It isn’t perfect; it lacks a telephoto camera and has a slower screen than competitors. Anyone using a current smartphone will not benefit from the upgrade. However, for individuals wishing to replace a phone that is 3 or 4 years old. They can go for iPhone 13.
