Published on 30 May, 2024 - Even though iPhone 13 is not the newest Apple model anymore, it’s still one of the most powerful phones on the market. Naturally we're curious to look at the innovations the company has made and if they are really as revolutionary as they always claim.
Let’s take a look at the iPhone 13 series - we are curious to see what new features they have in store and whether the developments are really as groundbreaking as they are claimed to be.
👉 Read our comparison of the iPhone 13 vs iPhone 12 vs iPhone 11 here.
Apple hasn't come up with anything new here - the names of the iPhone 13 models are pretty much the same as their predecessors:

Bigger aperture: For better photo quality at night
Apple ProRAW in the Pro versions, so that you can process and edit your photos professionally.

Seeing so much technical information can surely be overwhelming! This is why, we took the liberty of shortly summarising the most important pros and cons of the new iPhone 13:
➕ Advantages
Excellent camera
Greatly improved battery
All the innovations of last year
Increased base memory
Exciting iPhone 13 colours (like the new alpine green)
➖ Disadvantages
Selfie camera sensor unchanged
Standard refresh rate on the display
iPhone 12 cases do not fit
The improvements in the iPhone 13 models are great but it's doubtful if they are really enough for an iPhone 12 user to switch to this new generation. If you already have an iPhone 12, the changes are rather minimal and while it would still be an upgrade, it probably wouldn’t feel like a whole different model to you. Of course, nowadays there are also the iPhone 14 models available.
If you have an older phone, it can be worth upgrading to a refurbished iPhone 13 if you are looking for the newest technological edge. At Back Market, we believe that you don't need to change your phone every year, because we all know that the mountain of phones and e-waste keeps growing.🌿 So if you are going for a new model, get it refurbished to save both the environment and some money!
👉 You can find refurbished iPhones like the iPhone 12, iPhone 11 and all other older Apple models like the iPhone XS or iPhone X at a great price at Back Market.

Apple's iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max do not support 5G, unlike the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, and 12 mini, which came out a year later.

As the iPhone price comparison above suggests, buying your refurbished iPhone 12 saves you £289. On an iPhone 12 Pro, you save up to £341 by buying it refurbished. And rest assured, "refurbished" means "refurbished", which implies that the used iPhones for sale have undergone a series of tests and repairs (refurbishment) before being advertised.

But that's not all, our products are also sold with a minimum 12 month warranty and a 30-day withdrawal period. Doesn't that reassure you that you will not only get the cheapest iPhone to buy outright, but also a safety net to go with it! So there’s no need to wait for iPhone 12 deals on Black Friday, since our prices are low all year round!
