iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – Compare the Differences!
Last updated September 15, 2021
The iPhone 13 lineup has just been announced and as per its official specifications, it's certainly a powerful device. So, if you currently have the previous iPhone general model, you probably wonder how it compares to the latest iPhone. And with that said, we wish you a warm welcome to our iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 comparison!
iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 – What’s the Same & What’s Different Between the Two Lineups?Â
We’ll check the differences and similarities between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 through a series of individual segments. So, let’s dive right in.Â
Design and DisplayÂ
When it comes to the base iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 models, there aren't any differences in terms of their display technologies. However, that's not the case with the 'Pro' lineup, which features a 120Hz 'ProMotion' screen. In comparison, the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max still feature 60Hz displays.Â
And when it comes to their designs, the iPhone 13 isn't any different from the iPhone 12. As per the latest reports, the iPhone 13 models are a bit thicker, and they come with slightly more prominent camera bumps that will make lenses protrude less.Â
Processor & Performance
The latest iPhone generation comes with a new processor. The A14 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 12 made its way for an A15 chip, which powers all four of the 2021 iPhone models (the iPhone 13, Mini, Pro & Pro Max).Â
As per Apple's official documentation, the A15 chip has a 50% faster CPU and 30% faster GPU than its competition. That doesn't tell us if there's a huge leap between the A14 and A15 but it's certain that performance improvements are there.
Photography & Videography
Last year, Apple introduced a whole range of enhancements to the iPhone’s camera. As a reminder, we’ll say that the iPhone 12 lineup features Dolby Vision support, up to 5x optical zoom, and there’s support for the company’s own 'ProRAW' file system.Â
Now, when it comes to cameras found in the iPhone 13 lineup, you can expect a noticeable step forward in 2021. More precisely, the sensor size is bigger, which should help with low-light conditions.
Aside from that, the 'Pro' versions of the iPhone 13 come with an improved ultra-wide camera, getting an f/1.8 aperture (up from f/2.4), as well as a six-element lens (up by one).Â
Battery Life & Charging Tech
We’ve seen many reports saying that the iPhone 13 lineup will come with the most powerful batteries yet, in terms of their capacities, of course. We’re sure that will make you happy – but keep in mind that having a "bigger" battery doesn’t always mean you’ll get more "use time" out of your iPhone.Â
As you can see above, the iPhone 13 Pro Max got quite an upgrade in the battery department. Still, remember that we talked about the 120Hz 'ProMotion' display earlier, which is expected to draw plenty of power. As per Apple's documentation, you can expect from 1.5 up to 2.5 hours of extra use if you decide to get the latest iPhone.
Price
And lastly, our iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 12 comparison wouldn't be complete without talking about their prices. And with that said, we expect that Apple will stick to the currently available pricing scheme - $699, $799, $999, and $1,099, respectively.Â
