iPhone 13 review

Still a great value iPhone

Strong battery life ; Great design ; Powerful internals

Minimal design changes ; No 120Hz screen ; No Ceramic Shield on rear

The iPhone 13 isn’t a game changer for Apple’s series of smartphones, but it’s an important iteration that offers better battery life, a better processor and an upgraded camera setup than iPhones that have gone before it. If you’re looking for a fast...

Apple iPhone 13 review

What Hi-Fi? Awards 2021 winner. Apple hasn't reinvented the iPhone, but it has improved it in a few key areas

Excellent build ; Slick operating system ; Excellent picture and sound

No charger in the box ; No headphones in the box

A sprinkling of improvements combined with excellent picture and sound quality make the standard iPhone 13 a top smartphone at the money

Apple iPhone 13 review: The iPhone for everyone

With the same screen size as the iPhone 13 Pro, plus similar features, is the iPhone 13 the better balanced and more affordable purchase to make?

Big and bright display ; Great camera performance ; Good battery - a clear boost over its predecessor ; Solid performance

No telephoto zoom lens ; No fast refresh-rate display ; Some camera shutter lag in low-light conditions

Although not drastically different from its predecessor, the boost to battery life for this generation makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a big-screen device. Sure, you do miss out on a handful of nice-to-have features compared to the Pro model...

Apple iPhone 13 review: still a great buy if you can find one

Apple's everyday iPhone gets some decent upgrades, making it no poor relation to the larger, pricier Pro - even if it's no revelation

Excellent battery life ; Welcome camera improvements ; So much power ; 128GB base storage

No macro or telephoto ; Lightning rather than USB-C ; iPhone 12 offers most of the same for less

The iPhone 13 is no poor relation to the Pro equivalent – there’s so much to love about it. It’s not a revelation after iPhone 12, but it does enough to be a step onward.

iPhone 13 review

The upgrades here aren't all that exciting compared to last year's iPhone, but that doesn't stop the iPhone 13 from being an astounding piece of kit.

Best-in-class performance ; Beautiful design & finish ; Impressive battery life ; Capable cameras

Smaller notch doesn't add much ; No telephoto camera ; 60Hz display is dated ; Slow charging

A 60Hz display is the only thing really stopping the iPhone 13 from being the most competitive phone on the market. It improves on its predecessor and otherwise outperforms rivals deftly.

iPhone 13 Review

Apple is back with another entry in its bestselling smartphone series. Though relatively little has changed this time around, is the iPhone 13 still worth the upgrade?

— Excellent camera, improved battery life, vivid screen

— No enhanced display refresh rate, few major changes

The iPhone 13 offers modest changes over its predecessor but its still an excellent package, especially thanks to its brilliant camera system, long-lasting battery, and stunning screen. There are a couple of drawbacks, including the relatively low...

iPhone 13 review: Great, not groundbreaking

With a major upgrade last year, Apple is doing the right thing and fixing the small flaws this year. Here's our iPhone 13 review.

Better night shots ; Brighter screen ; A15 is seriously fast ; More memory at better price

Smaller upgrade than we hoped ; No ProMotion

There's a lot to like here - the noticeably improved camera, the longer battery life - and it's hard to find anything substantial to complain about. We're probably just spoiled after last year's cavalcade of goodies.
