SeekeriPhone 13
The iPhone 13’s brighter display, longer battery life and powerful cameras make it the best iPhone for those on a budget. We wish it had faster charging and the iPhone 13 Pro’s adaptive 120Hz display, but you're not missing that much versus the iPhone 14.

The new iPhone 13 and 13 Mini have improvements where it counts: bigger batteries and better cameras. They aren’t as full of features as the iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max, but it’s hard to find a better combination of what matters most in a new phone.

The iPhone 13 remains a strong upgrade for those who haven’t switched phones for a number of years, especially when the smaller updates of the iPhone 14 are taken into consideration.

The iPhone 12 was a good phone, and the iPhone 13 hasn’t really done much to become any better. A fleet of minor improvements help it stand above its predecessor, and the extra storage is reason enough to pick it over a discounted iPhone 12, which will only come with 64GB. But, without major adjustments to the design or a more radical upgrade to the cameras, it’s just not quite a hit.
