With the Apple iPhone 15 series finally going official, the company has decided to discontinue some of its older models. So now, the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone 12 has been will no longer be manufactured.

Here are all the iPhone models discontinued by Apple

The Cupertino based giant has officially stopped selling four iPhone models following the launch of the iPhone 15. This means that these devices will no longer be produced, but they will be listed online till stocks last on online and offline retailers. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the previous year’s top-end model and is the first in the 14 series to be discontinued. Similarly, the iPhone 14 Pro is the other device that will be discontinued from the 2022 lineup.

The two other devices that are being axed include the iPhone 13 mini, which is the last of its kind, and the 2020’s iPhone 12. The former is the last entry in the discontinued mini series, while the iPhone 12 has seen robust sales thanks to various discounts and sales. The flagship iPhone 14 Pro Max started from 139,900 INR in India, while the iPhone 14 Pro started from 129,900 INR.

The iPhone 13 mini cost just 64,900 INR and the iPhone 12 was the cheapest with a price tag of 59,900 INR. Notably, while these models were discontinued, the brand is offering certain devices for a discounted price tag in India. You can check these out by clicking on this link here.

The post Apple discontinues iPhone 14 Pro series & more following iPhone 15 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple introduced the iPhone 12 mini in 2020, bringing the mini series to life. Users who had been fans of smaller models since the iPhone 4 immediately loved this device. While sales numbers were not very high, the tech giant followed up with the iPhone 13 mini the following year in response to positive feedback. Unfortunately, Apple did not find what it was looking for with this model either and decided to discontinue the mini model for the iPhone 14 series. While there has been no official announcement and the fate of compact models remains uncertain, the latest claim is likely to disappoint mini fans. Here are the details…

iPhone mini Fans in Dismay as Apple Likely to Discontinue the Model

According to renowned Apple analyst Mark Gurman, iPhone 13 mini stocks are running low, and Apple’s online store in the United States is predicting shipping times of 2-3 weeks for some models and 6-8 weeks for others. This situation is suggesting that the company may be discontinuing production of the device after its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, where it is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 family.

Apple did not release an iPhone 14 mini last year, but it continued to sell the iPhone 13 mini in the United States for a starting price of $599 as a lower-cost option. If you are looking to buy an iPhone 13 mini, now may be your last chance. Apple is likely to discontinue production of the device after it introduces the iPhone 15 series on Tuesday.

Apple’s new lineup is expected to consist of a 6.1-inch iPhone 15, a 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, a 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, a 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max, and a 4.7-inch iPhone SE. While there initially seemed to be pent-up demand for a smaller iPhone, actual data showed that the iPhone mini had lower sales than other iPhone models.

In April 2022, research firm CIRP found that the iPhone 13 mini accounted for just 3% of total iPhone 13 sales in the United States in the first quarter of that year. Customers who want a small iPhone from Apple will have to settle for the entry-level iPhone SE, but even that device is rumored to be updated with a larger 6.1-inch display in the next one or two years.

At least for now, it seems that Apple has realized that small phones are not as popular as they once were.

The post Is the iPhone mini Dead? Apple May Discontinue the Model After iPhone 15 Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

It’s been almost six months since the iPhone 14 lineup made its debut in September of last year, and it has been regarded as one of the best phones to purchase in 2023. As with any flagship launch, there was some controversy surrounding Apple’s decision to replace the iPhone 13 mini with the iPhone 14 Plus. The question on everyone’s mind was whether or not this was the right move for the tech giant. However, recent reports from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) shed light on the panel shipments for the iPhone 14 series, giving us an idea of the relative commercial success of each model. The findings are definitely interesting.

The first observation is that the iPhone 14 lineup is slightly more popular than its predecessor, with a 2% increase in the year-on-year display shipments as of April. Second, it is not surprising that the Pro models are outperforming the regular ones, as this trend has been established over the years since Apple prices its newer models at the same price as its predecessors (usually).

Furthermore, the report suggests that revenue from this year’s lineup is likely to be higher as Apple sells even more high-end models at the expense of lower-end ones. Sales of the regular model are down by 36%, while those of the Pro and Pro Max have increased by 22% and 23%, respectively.

Interestingly, the report settles the “mini versus Plus” debate once and for all, revealing that the display shipments for the iPhone 14 Plus are up by 59% compared to the iPhone 13 mini. However, despite this surge, the iPhone 14 Plus is still the least popular model in the iPhone 14 lineup. The report concludes with a somewhat bleak forecast for the coming months leading up to the iPhone 15 announcement. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that Apple’s latest iPhones are a commercial success, given the results so far.

The post Apple iPhone 14 Plus Sales Trump iPhone 13 Mini as per Latest Reports appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Apple officially unveiled the iPhone 14 series at its ‘Far Out Event’. The latest iPhones were accompanied by AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra. Unsurprisingly, the American tech giant also announced the discontinuation of select older iPhones.

Just like every year, the incoming Pro models have replaced the outgoing Pro models in Apple’s iPhone lineup. In other words, the company has officially discontinued the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max from 2021.

The iPhone 13 Pro series brought some major upgrades. It introduced features like a 120Hz LTPO display, an improved triple camera system, much better battery life, and more.

Further, the firm discontinues the iPhone 11 from 2019. It was the first base iPhone with a dual-camera setup, 4GB RAM, 18W wired charging support, and more.

Lastly, Apple also discontinues the iPhone 12 Mini from 2020. It was the first Mini iPhone, one of the first 5G iPhones, and the most affordable iPhone with an OLED display at the launch.

Therefore, the current Apple iPhone family looks something like this.

• iPhone SE 3rd Gen (2022)
• iPhone 12
• iPhone 13 Mini
• iPhone 13
• iPhone 14
• iPhone 14 Plus
• iPhone 14 Pro
• iPhone 14 Pro Max

Anyway, it is worth noting that though Apple has officially stopped selling the aforementioned older iPhone models, they will be still available for purchase from retailers around the world while stocks last.

Last but not least, with the discontinuation of the iPhone 11, Apple now only sells 5G-enabled smartphones.

The post Apple discontinues iPhone 11, 12 Mini, 13 Pro, & 13 Pro Max appeared first on Gizmochina.

With the launch of the highly anticipated Apple iPhone 14 series, the company is slashing prices for some of its older models in India. This includes the last gen iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, and even the 2020’s iPhone 12 model as well.

For those unaware, the Cupertino based giant typically cuts prices for older models once it releases its newest smartphones. And now, the brand is doing the same for the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, and iPhone 12. As of right now, Apple has discontinued the higher end iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, with both models being removed from its official website. So now, let’s have a look at the new pricing for the older iPhone models in India.

The iPhone 13 with 128GB of internal storage is now priced at 69,900 INR, which is around 10,000 INR lower than its original launch price. Similarly, its higher 256GB model costs 79,900 INR while the 512GB model costs 99,900 INR, which is again around 10,000 INR cheaper than its original launch price. Furthermore, the iPhone 13 mini will now be available for 64,900 INR for the 128GB model. Its 256GB model will cost 74,900 INR now while its 512GB variant has a price tag of 94,900 INR. In other words, all three versions of the mini has received a 5,000 INR discount.

Lastly, the two year old iPhone 12 is available for just 59,900 INR for its base 64Gb variant. On the other hand, the 128GB and 256Gb model now cost 64,900 INR and 74,900 INR respectively. Notably, these are the official price drops from Apple and can be found on the company’s official Indian website.

The post Apple cuts prices of iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, & iPhone 12 in India after iPhone 14 launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Through numerous leaks and reports, we have learned that Apple will not be making an iPhone 14 Mini and will be replacing it with a large screen variant with the iPhone 14 series.

The reasoning behind this decision has most likely to do with Apple not being able to sell enough iPhone Minis to justify its existence. And now, a MacRumors report has revealed just how poorly the iPhone 13 Mini is performing in the US.

According to the report, the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 Mini sales have made up just 3% of the total iPhone sales in the US for the first quarter of 2022. Comparatively, the other ‌iPhone 13‌ models were much more popular and had the largest share of U.S. sales in several years.

The iPhone 13 models made up 71 percent of ‌iPhone‌ sales in the US in Q1 with the standard iPhone 13‌ moving the most volume at 38%. The 13 Pro and the 13 Pro Max weren’t as popular this quarter but still outsold the iPhone 13 Mini quite a lot.

For its next series of iPhones, Apple is said to debut the iPhone 14 Max which will offer a big 6.7-inch display, equivalent to the iPhone 14 Pro Max. However, the smartphone will come with a cheaper price tag compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max and even the iPhone 14 Pro. The display of the iPhone 14 Max is also said to be a 120Hz refresh rate panel with LTPO technology and the device is rumored to come with the current-gen A15 Bionic chipset.

The post This is probably why Apple wont make an iPhone 14 Mini appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple launched its new iteration of affordable iPhones: the iPhone SE 2022. Despite carrying a midrange-class price tag, the new compact and affordable device hitten the shelves with exactly the same processor as the iPhone 13 series. That is the reason why, given that it is also a compact phone, a lot of people are wondering which one is the best deal between the iPhone SE 2022 and the iPhone 13 mini. Is it worth spending more to get the compact variant of the iPhone 13 lineup or does the iPhone SE 2022 give people all they need with its affordable price? The answer to this question is not always the same and it depends on the kind of user evaluating the purchase. This is a comparison between the specifications of the two most recent Apple compact phones.

Apple iPhone SE 2022 vs Apple iPhone 13 mini

Design

In terms of design, the iPhone 13 mini wins immediately. Its design is exactly the same as the other last-generation iPhones, with a borderless display, a notch, and a form factor with flat borders. The iPhone SE 2022 comes to the market with the same design as the very old iPhone 8, so it is definitely nothing special if compared to the other high-end phones released in 2022. Further, despite having a bigger display, the iPhone 13 mini is more compact than the iPhone SE 2022. Both are built with a glass back and an aluminum frame, but the 13 mini has better water resistance thanks to the IP68 certification (up to 6 meters deep for 30 minutes instead of just 1 meter for 30 minutes).

Display

The display of the iPhone 13 mini beats the one found on the iPhone SE 2022. It is a Super Retina XDR OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, the HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision support, and more brilliant colors. The iPhone SE 2022 is equipped with a good panel, but it is an old LCD display with an HD+ resolution and no advanced technologies to improve the image quality. For the authentication, the iPhone SE 2022 relies on the old Touch ID placed below the display, while the iPhone 13 mini supports 3D facial recognition thanks to Face ID.

Specs & Software

The iPhone SE 2022 and the iPhone 13 mini are powered by the same processor: the hexa-core Apple A15 Bionic with 4-core graphics built with a 5 nm production process. Until now, it is the most powerful Apple processor ever seen on an iPhone. Both the handsets are equipped with 4 GB of RAM and NVMe storage, so the performance level is the same. But the 13 mini comes with up to 512 GB of internal storage, while the SE 2022 stops at 256 GB. The only difference is the native storage in the most expensive memory configuration of each phone. Both run the 15th version of iOS and they will get long software support.

Camera

The iPhone 13 mini has a more advanced camera setup than its internal rival. It is equipped with a 12 MP main camera sporting an f/1.6 focal aperture and OIS, paired with another 12 MP camera, but this is an ultrawide sensor. The iPhone SE 2022 has just one single 12 MP sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture: it lacks the ultrawide camera and the main sensor has lower performance. The 13 mini also comes with a better 12 MP front camera.

Battery

Last but not least, the iPhone 13 mini is equipped with a bigger battery: the capacity is 2438 mAh and, thanks to its OLED display, the energy consumption is usually lower. The iPhone SE 2022 has a 2018 mAh battery and an LCD display consuming more energy. Both come with 18W fast charging and Qi wireless charging, but the 13 mini is the only one to support MagSafe.

Price

You need €509 or $429 to purchase the iPhone SE 2022, while the iPhone 13 mini starts from €699 or $699. The 13 mini wins the comparison thanks to a better display, superior cameras, and a bigger battery, but if you do not mind these features, the SE 2022 can let you save a lot of money.

Apple launched the iPhone 13 comprising of iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max in September 2021. Since their release, these smartphones have been selling quite well worldwide. In fact, according to a research note, the Cupertino-based tech giant sold millions of them in the holiday season alone.

A research note by analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush (via PhoneArena) says that Apple sold more than 40 million units of iPhone 13 models in the 2021 holiday season. This note was published by Philip Elmer-DeWitt.

The same note also predicts that Apple would soon hit the $3 trillion market cap. For the unaware, Apple just became the world’s first publicly-traded company to reach the $3 trillion market cap yesterday.

Analyst forecasts that the iPhone 13 sales will continue to grow in 2022. That’s because the tech firm could not meet the demand in Q4 2021. The demand outstripped supply by a whopping 12 million units in the last quarter. Hence, the supply will trickle down in the next two quarters (Q1 2022 and Q2 2022) until the shortages ease in H1 2022.

In other words, the iPhone 13 series will continue to remain in demand till the launch of the iPhone 14 family.

Compact flagships are not a trend, but Apple keeps releasing them and a lot of people choose them due to their compact dimensions. The latest compact flagship released by Apple is the iPhone 13 mini: it has nothing to envy if compared to all the other devices from the iPhone 13 series, but it comes with smaller dimensions. A lot of people are wondering whether it is worth spending more for this handset or to get the very affordable iPhone SE released in 2020 which is currently the most affordable iPhone on the shelves. This comparison will highlight the differences between the specifications of the iPhone 13 mini and the 2020 version of the iPhone SE.

Apple iPhone SE vs Apple iPhone 13 mini

Design

You just need to look at them to recognize them: the iPhone 13 mini has the best design ever seen on a smartphone by Apple, with a borderless display and a notch 20 percent smaller than the one found on the iPhone 12 series. The handset is built with a glass back and an aluminum frame and it has the IP68 certification making it waterproof and dustproof. The iPhone SE, instead, has a very old design: the same as the old iPhone 8 with thick bezels around the display, a glass back, an aluminum frame, and the IP67 certification guaranteeing water resistance. Despite the iPhone 13 mini having a bigger display, it is more compact thanks to its narrow bezels around the screen. It also comes with better water resistance and higher resistance thanks to Ceramic Shield.

Display

The display of the iPhone 13 mini is 10 times better if compared to the iPhone SE 2020. Unlike the SE, it has a Super Retina XDR OLED panel with the HDR10 certification and Dolby Vision support, as well as a higher Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The iPhone SE 2020 has a lower-end IPS panel with an HD+ resolution. The iPhone 13 mini relies on 3D facial recognition for authentication, while the iPhone SE 2020 has the old Touch ID which consists of a fingerprint reader. There is definitely no challenge when it comes to the display: the iPhone 13 mini wins with a wide margin.

Specs & Software

The iPhone 13 mini wins the hardware comparison as well because it has a stronger processor and a higher quantity of RAM. The Apple A15 Bionic found on the iPhone 13 mini provides a 50% CPU performance boost compared to the Apple A14 Bionic and a 30 percent GPU performance boost. The iPhone SE 2020 has the Apple A13 Bionic chipset which you can also find on the iPhone 11 lineup: it is still a high-end chipset, but it is very inferior to the A15 Bionic. Further, the iPhone SE 2020 has just 3 GB of RAM instead of the 4 GB found on the iPhone 13 mini. Last but not least, iPhone 13 mini runs iOS 15 out of the box and it will get two more years of software support, while iPhone SE 2020 ships with iOS 13.

Camera

The iPhone 13 mini has a stronger camera department composed of a 12 MP main camera with an f/1.6 focal aperture and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor with an f/2.4 aperture. The iPhone SE 2020 has just a single sensor on the rear: a 12 MP camera with an f/1.8 focal aperture. With the iPhone 13 mini you can shoot better photos under every light condition and record better videos.

Battery

With a capacity of 2438 mAh, the iPhone 13 mini provides a bigger battery and a longer battery life. Besides its bigger battery, it also provides a lower energy consumption thanks to its efficient OLED display and a 5 nm chipset.

Price

You can currently find the iPhone SE 2020 for less than €400/$400, while you need at least €800 or $700 to get the iPhone 13 mini. The 13 mini is a superior phone from every point of view (display, camera, battery, hardware, and software), but you can save a lot of money with the SE while still getting great performance and a solid user experience.

For the first time, with the iPhone 12 series, Apple started releasing Mini variants of its phones with compact dimensions but still flagship-class specifications. The iPhone 12 mini was the first model and it represented a perfect replacement for the SE series, even though it is more expensive due to its higher-end specifications. Now, Apple released another mini variant with the 13 series: the iPhone 13 mini. While the iPhone 13 mini went on sale, the price of its predecessor dropped. And now it became hard for non-experts to understand which one offers the best value for the money asked. This comparison between iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini will hopefully help you understand which one is the best.

Apple iPhone 12 mini vs Apple iPhone 13 mini

Design

There are two important improvements in the design of the new iPhone 13 mini. The first is the notch: it is 20 percent smaller than the one of its predecessor, so the display covers a larger area of the front panel. Further, there is a better placement for the rear cameras: the sensors are placed diagonally instead of vertically, which is a more beautiful placement for a device with a square-shaped camera module. On the other hand, the iPhone 12 mini is slightly thinner and lighter because it packs a smaller battery. Further, the iPhone 12 mini has a less protruding camera module.

Display

The displays of the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 13 mini have almost the same specifications. They are Super Retina XDR OLED panels with a diagonal of 5.4 inches, the HDR10 certification, a standard refresh rate, and Dolby Vision support. But there are two differences between these panels: the first one, as already mentioned, is the notch, smaller on the iPhone 13 mini. Further, the iPhone 13 mini provides a higher brightness with a peak of 1200 nits. Despite its smaller notch, the new iPhone features an SL 3D sensor for 3D facial recognition available through Face ID technology.

Specs & Software

The iPhone 13 mini is powered by a stronger processor if compared to the iPhone 12 mini. We are talking about the Apple A15 Bionic built at 5 nm with a clock frequency of 3.22 GHz and a 4-core proprietary GPU. Thanks to this chipset, the Apple iPhone 13 mini is able to provide up to 50 percent better CPU performance and 30 percent better GPU performance. The 13 mini comes in three memory configurations: 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB, all with 4 GB of RAM. The iPhone 12 mini comes in a base variant with 64 GB of internal storage, a 128 GB variant, and a 256 GB configuration. The most recent model ships with iOS 15 out of the box, while the 12 mini is based on iOS 14.

Camera

When it comes to the camera hardware, there is not any difference between these two phones if we talk about the basics camera specifications. They have a dual rear camera including a 12 MP main sensor with OIS and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. But if you dig deeper, you will find out that the iPhone 13 mini has a better stabilization (sensor-shift OIS) and a bigger pixel size allowing it to capture more light. The front camera is exactly the same: a 12 MP sensor paired with an SL 3D biometrics sensor.

Battery

Last but not least, the iPhone 13 mini is able to provide a longer battery life on a single charge because it packs a bigger battery. The capacity of its battery is 2438 mAh, while the iPhone 12 mini stops at 2227 mAh. The improvement in terms of battery life is important, but the charging speeds remain the same.

Price

The starting price of the iPhone 12 mini in the U.S. is $499, while it launched for no much less than €600 in Europe. The iPhone 13 mini costs $699 in the U.S. and it starts from around €800 in Europe. There are a lot of improvements with the iPhone 13 mini making it better than its predecessor: it has a better design, a bigger battery, superior cameras, and way better hardware. Would spend more on these improvements?

Reliable tipster Jon Prosser surprised iPhone fans by leaking the design of the next year’s iPhone 14 series even before Apple announced the iPhone 13 lineup. The iPhone 14 series is expected to come with overhaul design improvements. This year’s iPhone 13 linuep includes three models such as iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Prosser has claimed that the iPhone 14 will not include the ‘mini’ model.

As per a recent tweet by Prosser, the iPhone 13 mini will be the last ‘mini’ named iPhone. To be specific, there will be no iPhone 14 mini, claims the tipster. It is still unclear whether the iPhone 14 lineup will include three or four devices. Unconfirmed reports have claimed that the four iPhone 14 models arriving next year could be iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Just like the previous year, Apple launched the new iPhones in four variants: iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Even this year there is not a big change if we talk about the design, but there are several improvements which could make it worth switching from previous generations. The lower-end variants of the series are iPhone 13 and 13 mini, offered with more affordable price tags if compared to the Pro variants. There are not a lot of differences between these two models and there are definitely more differences in the Pro variants. In order to let you know the few differences and understand which of these two devices fits your needs the most, we decided to publish a comparison between their specifications.

Apple iPhone 13 vs Apple iPhone 13 Mini

Design

The Apple iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini have exactly the same design: the only different aspect is the dimensions of the phones. The iPhone 13 mini looks more attractive because it is more compact and pocket-friendly, but it has a smaller display, so it is less comfortable for productivity and gaming. The new Apple devices come with a glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as the same flat borders as the iPhone 12 lineup. Both the phones have a front glass and a rear glass protected by Gorilla Glass and they are waterproof and dustproof with the IP68 certification. The notch became smaller if compared to the previous generation: to be accurate, it is 20 percent smaller while still retaining the same sensors.

Display

Even if we talk about the displays, these two devices are almost the same: what changes are the diagonal and the resolution. The vanilla iPhone 13 has a diagonal of 6.1 inches and a resolution of 1170 x 2532 pixels, while the iPhone 13 mini has a 5.4-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. For the rest, they are pretty much the same. These devices sport Super Retina XDR OLED panels with the HDR10 certification, Dolby Vision, and a peak brightness of 1200 nits, as well as a wide color gamut and the True-tone technology. There is no fingerprint reader for authentication, but these handsets can rely on Face ID that is the best 3D facial recognition technology.

Specs & Software

You get no changes even when it comes to the hardware department. These devices have the very same Apple A15 Bionic chipset built at 5 nm with a max frequency of 3.22 GHz, paired with 4 GB of RAM and 128, 256, or 512 GB of internal storage depending on the chosen configuration. Note that the Pro variants are able to provide better GPU performance as the processor of the iPhone 13 and 13 mini is toned-down on the GPU side. The iPhone 13 and its mini variant provide a 30 percent improvement in terms of GPU performance, while the Pro variants go up to 50 percent.

Camera

The camera configuration remains unchanged if compared to the previous generations, and it is also the same between these two devices. The iPhone 13 and the 13 mini are equipped with a 12 MP main camera sporting an f/1.6 focal aperture and sensor-shift OIS. The main camera is paired with a 12 MP ultrawide sensor with an f/2.4 focal aperture. The phones are able to record 4K videos at 60 fps with stereo sound and Dolby Vision HDR. On the front panel, there is a 12 MP selfie camera that records 4K videos at 60 fps and an SL 3D sensor for 3D facial recognition and depth calculation.

Battery

The battery is the most important difference between iPhone 13 and 13 mini. With a capacity of 3240 mAh, the vanilla version is able to provide up to 19 hours of battery life with multimedia usage, while the mini variant stops at 17 hours due to its smaller 2438 mAh battery. Naturally, the battery life is inferior even in other scenarios.

Price

The prices of the iPhone 13 and the 13 mini vary depending on the market. The vanilla version costs €899 in Europe and $800 in the U.S. while the mini variant starts from €799 in Europe and from $700 in the U.S. While the iPhone 13 mini is more affordable and more compact (one of the most compact flagships out there), the standard iPhone 13 offers a longer battery life and a wider display, but with a more expensive price. Which one would you pick?

If the only thing on your mind is grabbing the freshly released Apple iPhone 13, then consider yourself really unlucky if you have to purchase one from Brazil. As it stands, the cost of the iPhone 13 in the South American country is the highest in the world.

A report by Nukeni (via: 9to5Mac) shows the sale prices of the unlocked iPhone 13 on the Apple Website of each country, including taxes of course. Other models are listed as well, but picking on the iPhone 13 alone would be a good enough indicator for the prices.

There are exceptions, however, depending on the model or the storage variant. For example, the 128GB storage variant of the iPhone 13 mini is actually the most expensive in Turkey at a hefty $1,301.56. Brazil fares slightly better with this particular variant, with a price tag of $1,256.21. There are a few other models and variants as well where Brazil outdoes Turkey, but a majority of them are still the priciest in Brazil.

With that in mind, feel free to have a look at the top 3 best and worst places to grab a 128GB iPhone 13 series model from:

iPhone 13 mini (128GB)

Most expensive:

• Turkey: $1,301.56
• Brazil: $1,256.21
• Sweden: $998.42

Cheapest:

• United States: $729
• Hong Kong: $771.27
• Canada: $785.28

iPhone 13 (128GB)

Most expensive:

• Brazil: $1,446.57
• Turkey: $1,419.90
• Sweden: $1,137.82

Cheapest:

• United States: $829
• Hong Kong: $874.13
• Japan: $900.95

iPhone 13 Pro (128GB)

Most expensive:

• Turkey: $1,893.24
• Brazil: $1,808.26
• India: $1,627.88

Cheapest:

• United States: $999.00
• Hong Kong: $1,092.69
• United States: $1,113.89

iPhone 13 Pro Max (128GB)

Most expensive:

• Turkey: $2,129.91
• Brazil: $1,998.63
• India: $1,763.65

Cheapest:

• United States: $1,099.00
• Hong Kong: $1,208.41
• United States: $1,225.39

It is worth noting here that some US states like Delaware do not charge any taxes, and this might be one of the main reasons why the US is the cheapest option. Nukeni knows of this and has thus listed two prices for regions like the US and Canada – one from the most expensive state/province and another from the least.

Thus, it is observed that when the cheapest iPhone offering in the US is kicked from the equation, regions like Hong Kong and Japan emerge as the true cheapest options.

In conclusion, an iPhone 13 purchase from countries like the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, and Canada is the least likely to blow a hole in your wallet. Weaker currencies or high taxes, on the other hand, have a major role in making Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, Hungary, and Italy the most expensive places to grab an iPhone 13 series model from in the world.

On Tuesday, Apple announced the iPhone 13 series at its ‘California Streaming’ event. Just like the iPhone 12 lineup, there are four models, namely iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The pre-orders for these smartphones are yet o go live, but we already have their benchmark scores.

A report by MacRumors compares the Gekbench scores of the iPhone 13 series with the iPhone 12 series. The new iPhones are not only powerful than their predecessors but their performance also differs among fellow current-gen models.

All four iPhone 13 variants are powered by A15 Bionic SoC. However, the less expensive iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini come with a 4-core GPU instead of 5 cores like on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. In fact, even the new iPad Mini 6th Generation features a 5-core GPU.

Due to the above-mentioned difference in GPU architecture, there’s a graphics performance gap between the latest iPhones. For example, the iPhone 13 scores around 10,608 on Geekbench Metal, while the iPhone 13 Pro bags around 14216 points. Anyway, the GPU in the standard iPhone 13 performs about 15% better than the GPU inside the iPhone 12.

Having said that, as all four new iPhones arrive with a 6-core CPU, there’s no major disparity in CPU performance. Hence, if you want the best graphics on an iPhone or any other smartphone for that matter, it is recommended to invest in an iPhone 13 Pro or an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

The Apple iPhone 13 series will be available for pre-orders starting September 17 in key markets. It will be up for sale from September 24.

After months of leaks and rumors, the iPhone 13 series is now official. The new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini have a slightly refreshed design, but the main upgrades are under the hood.

Apple is sticking to the flat-edge frame of the iPhone 12 series. The design changes include a smaller notch that still manages to fit all of the sensors required for Face ID, and rear cameras that are now arranged diagonally.

The iPhone 13 Mini has a 5.4-inch screen while the iPhone 13 packs a 6.1-inch screen. The Super Retina Display on both phones is protected by Ceramic Shield. Both phones are available in Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight, and (Product) RED.

Under the hood of the new iPhone 13 duo is the Apple A15 Bionic. The 5nm chip has a six-core CPU (2x high-performance cores + 4x high-efficiency cores). Apple says the CPU is 50% faster than the competition while the GPU is 30% faster. There is no mention of the RAM, which is typical of Apple, but the storage capacity now starts at 128GB and goes up to 512GB.

There are still two cameras on the rear of the iPhone 13 duo but they are now arranged diagonally. There is a new wide-angle camera that captures up to 47% more light. The ultrawide angle camera also captures more details in low light. Apple has also brought the sensor-shift optical image stabilization feature from the pro models to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini.

There are new and interesting camera features too. Top of the list is Cinematic Mode that holds the focus on a subject and automatically switches it to a new prominent subject that has entered into the scene just like in a movie. Users will also be able to adjust the bokeh effect after shooting. Other features are Night mode, Portrait mode, Deep Fusion, and Smart HDR 4 which recognizes up to four different people in a scene and optimizes the contrast, lighting, and skin tones for each person. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini also get the Photographic Styles feature we mentioned in the iPhone 13 Pro article.

The battery life on both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini has gotten a boost. The former now has up to 2.5 hours more while the mini model gets up to 1.5 hours of additional battery life. The new iPhone 13 series supports 20W fast wired charging, 15W MagSafe wireless charging, and 7.5W Qi wireless charging.

The iPhone 13 Mini and iPhone 13 will be available for pre-order this Friday, September 17, and will be open for purchase on September 24. Below are their prices:

iPhone 13 Mini                                                             iPhone 13

128GB – $699                                                               128GB – $799

256GB – $799                                                               256GB – $899

512GB – $999                                                               512GB – $1099

The new iPhone 13 series launch is finally upon us. The much-awaited day has been set for tomorrow – or September 14 to be precise – with the event being set as a virtual one. Judging from the leaks and rumors we have at hand, the new lineup will not be a significant upgrade over its predecessor. Instead, the focus will be on improving on some of the existing features that fans already love and make the iPhone experience better than ever. Regardless, Apple will offer enough upgrades to ensure even an iPhone 12 user can consider getting the new model, and we have rounded up all that there’s to know about the new series below.

iPhone 13 Variants

Apple will likely go with the trusty four variant lineup that will be covering a wide demographic, just like last year’s iPhone 12 series. Thus, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, and iPhone 13 mini are expected. Of course, the Pro Max variant will be the priciest of the bunch, while the iPhone 13 mini will be the most economical.

iPhone 13 Display and Design

Judging from rumors, not much will be changed in the design department. Apple is known for changing designs once every few iPhone iterations. The last tweak only came with the iPhone 12 series, in the form of a more boxy design, and the iPhone 13 series will thus likely be keeping the same. However, the size of the notch will be noticeably reduced – by a third to be precise. So yeah, no punch holes yet.

Coming to display sizes, the iPhone 13 mini will obviously be the most pocket-friendly among the bunch and is expected to sport a 5.4-inch screen. The displays of the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro could also be sized the same as last year at a larger 6.1-inches. The largest of the lot – the iPhone 13 Pro Max – will reportedly come with a 6.7-inch screen.

At least two 2021 iPhone models will be using LTPO tech for the display panels that will allow lower power consumption, thus paving the road for 120Hz refresh rates. The refresh rate tech will be quite advanced too and will dynamically adjust all the way from 1Hz to 120Hz depending on the content being displayed on the screen. The two Pro models may even get an Always-On display feature. This might, however, be missing from the non-Pro variants.

Cameras on the iPhone 13 series

The rumor mill has churned out some notable improvements in the camera department. Sensor-shift stabilization will be expanded across the entire iPhone lineup, introducing improvements in low light performance and stabilization.

The more expensive iPhone models should be getting an upgraded ultrawide camera with an improved f/1.8 aperture that will help capture better night shots than the current f/2.4 aperture lens.

Hardware and Software

As it has been with literally every iPhone ever, the processors across the entire lineup will be receiving an upgrade. This year, it will be the A15 Bionic chip that will be bringing enhancements that will improve both regular usage and gaming performance.

Bigger batteries along with faster charging are to be expected as well, along with a wider mmWave 5G support.

Apple is also expected to offer another look at the features coming in iOS 15 with the live event tomorrow. It isn’t clear if the iOS version will be making its debut with the iPhone 13 series.

Colors and Variants

First reported by 91Mobiles, a Ukrainian website had revealed that the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max will be available in Black, Silver, Gold, and Bronze.

A new report also revealed that Apple will be doing away with the 64GB storage variant on the entire series for good, thus setting the base as 128GB. The pro variants may even offer up to 1TB storage options.

Pricing and Availability

Some sources claim that the iPhone 13 series will come with an increased price due to the global semiconductor shortage that has increased costs of chip production from TSMC. However, this bit is again unconfirmed.

If rumors of a price hike are false, then the pricing will be very similar, if not exactly the same, to the iPhone 12 series. As such, the iPhone 13 mini will cost $699, iPhone 13 $799, iPhone 13 Pro $999, and finally the iPhone 13 Pro Max $1,099.

Other Expected Products at the Event

Other products to be expected include the Apple Watch Series 7 and the AirPods 3.

The Apple Watch will likely see its biggest redesign with Series 7 that will be following the design language of the latest iPads and iPhones. It will have flatter edges, a larger display, and increased resolution.

The AirPods 3 may feature an updated design as well and are rumored to be a bit pricier than their previous generation.

After weeks of speculations, Apple has finally announced the date of its iPhone launch. The Cupertino-based company has sent out invites for the event which will be a virtual one.

The invite which has surfaced online reveals that the new iPhone 13 series will be announced on Tuesday, September 14. If Apple isn’t bent on launching its products on Tuesdays, September 13 would have been a great choice since it is announcing the iPhone 13.

The event will be live-streamed like Apple’s previous events since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is scheduled for 10 AM PDT (6 PM BST/ 10:30 PM IST)

Apple will launch the iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, the iPhone 13 Pro, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max. All three will feature the new Apple A15 chip which will be unveiled at the event. They are also expected to come with bigger battery capacities, faster charging, and reverse wireless charging. It has also been reported that the new iPhones will have support for satellite communication in cases where cellular connectivity isn’t available. However, this feature may not be available in all regions. The new iPhones should also get new color options.

Apple is also expected to announce the Apple Watch Series 7, new iPads, and the AirPods 3 on that day too.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 13 series this month. The American tech giant could announce the date for the launch event as early as today. Ahead of that, a new official MagSafe charger has been certified by FCC.

According to a report by 9to5Mac, a new Apple MagSafe charger with model number A2548 has been certified by FCC. For those unaware, the current-gen MagSafe charger bears model number A2140.

The publication says that the iPhone maker is known for updating model numbers for its accessories due to small changes. Sometimes these changes are even hard to notice. 

However, a report from July suggested that the iPhone 13 series might come with larger wireless charging coil and strong magnets with possible support for reverse wireless charging. 

Hence, there’s a chance that the new MagSafe charger could be designed for the changes in the upcoming iPhones. But unfortunately, we cannot tell that for sure as of now.

Having said that, the FCC listing does confirm one thing. This new MagSafe charger will be compatible with both iPhone 12 series and the forthcoming iPhone 13 lineup. The two different iPhone generations consisting of four models are mentioned as ‘Legacy Phone’ and ‘New Phone’.

As mentioned earlier, Apple will likely debut the iPhone 13, iPhone Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max by the end of September. The new models are expected to cost more due to the ongoing global semiconductor shortage.

Apple iPhone 13 series is reported to hit the stores this fall. The second-gen 5G smartphones from the Cupertino-based tech giant are expected to go official in September like the previous years in recent times (except 2020). Ahead of the official announcement, their alleged model numbers have been revealed.

The upcoming Apple iPhone 13 series seems to have been certified by EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission). The lineup is expected to include four models, namely iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Mini.

However, the following seven model numbers have been listed on EEC.

• A2628
• A2630
• A2634
• A2635
• A2640
• A2643
• A2645

Unfortunately, the EEC certification does not reveal anything else. But we do know some characteristics of these handsets, thanks to multiple reports.

The iPhone 13 series is reported to feature the same design as the current-gen iPhone 12 models. However, the new lineup may come with a slightly smaller notch and possible better camera performance.

Most importantly, the iPhone 13 Mini could be the last-ever mini iPhone due to poor reception of the iPhone 12 Mini. Also, the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max may finally come equipped with a 120Hz ProMotion display.

In a nutshell, the iPhone 13 series will be a minor upgrade over the current-gen iPhone 12 series.

At the Time Flies event in September, Apple only unveiled new tablets (iPad Air 4th Generation & iPad 8th Generation) and smartwatches (Apple Watch Series 6 & Apple Watch SE). The Cupertino-based tech giant is yet to announce the iPhone 12 series. In fact, the company is yet to even reveal the date for its launch event. Ahead of it, a massive report on iPhone 13 and iPhone SE 3 has come up.

The information about the upcoming iPhone 13 and iPhone SE 3 was shared by Ross Young of DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants) on Twitter. These details come from his company as well as Mizuho Securities.

Apple iPhone 13 Specifications

According to Ross’s tweets and a shared image, the iPhone 13 models will come with same-sized displays like the iPhone 12 devices. Also, all four phones in the forthcoming series will have integrated touch (Y-Octa) panels. The exact sizes of their panels are as listed below.

• iPhone 13 – 5.42-inch
• iPhone 13 – 6.06-inch
• iPhone 13 Pro – 6.06-inch
• iPhone 13 Pro Max – 6.67-inch

Though all the models will have OLED panels, their suppliers will be different. For instance, SDC (Samsung Display Co., Ltd.) will be supplying panels for Pro Max as well as the smaller model, which could be called as Mini.

Whereas, LGD (LG Display) will be providing panels for all the models except the top variant. Lastly, BOE will be supplying panels for the Pro and standard iPhone 13.

Further, all of them will come with ProMotion technology (high refresh rate) but only the Pro Max model will feature LTPO for variable refresh rate like the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.

As for cameras, the regular iPhone 13 models (5.4”/6.1”) will come equipped with a dual-camera setup. The 1.7µm primary sensor on these devices will be the same one that will be debuting in iPhone 12 Pro Max.

On the other hand, the two Pro models will be featuring a triple camera setup with an upgraded 1.9µm primary senor with SensorShift. These iPhones will also have ToF camera.

Lastly, all the four iPhone 13 series handsets will come with Face ID and therefore, we can also expect them to feature notch once again. Also, although all of them will be 5G-ready, only the Pro models will have support for mmWave.

Apple iPhone SE 3 Specifications

Apart from iPhone 13, the specs of iPhone SE 3 has also emerged. According to the report, this phone will be releasing in Spring 2022 and not next year.  It will sport a larger 6.06-inch in-cell LCD panel supplied by either Sharp or JDI, compared to the smaller 4.7-inch screen on the current-gen model.

Further, it will arrive with the same dual-camera setup as found on the iPhone 11. That means it will feature a 1.4µm primary sensor. Since it will be launching almost after one and a half years, it will include support for 5G but only sub-6GHz like the regular iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models.

Most interestingly, it will come equipped with Touch ID (fingerprint sensor). We expect it to be either side or top mounted like the new iPad Air. Above all, it could be the first Apple iPhone with a full-screen display without a notch (speculation from our end).
