Apple iPhone 13 (128 GB) - Green

Product Information

Apple introduced a couple of new colour options for the iPhone 13. Starlight adds a hint of gold to a silver body, while the Product(RED) model you’ll see pictured is a deeper shade than before; it really is quite striking.

Battery life has seen one of the biggest upgrades in the iPhone 13, and it’s been achieved through the inclusion of larger cells and a more efficient chipset. It also now runs iOS 16 and should continue to receive software updates for many years to come, including iOS 17 which is also scheduled for release sometime in September. Design and screen iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Pro can detect a severe car crash and call for help. Requires a cellular connection or Wi-Fi calling.Throughout testing, I’ve been trying to deplete the phone’s battery in a day. I ran a looped video that took 21 hours for the battery to die (more than Apple’s claimed 19 hours) while streamed video lasted for 15 hours. An hour of Netflix streaming in HDR at 100% brightness consumed 9% (7%, with a more reasonable 75% brightness), while an hour of playing Sayonara Wild Hearts only took off 11%.

Bigger Storage and Brighter Display

Available only in selected cities and on selected public transport systems. Requires eligible device and OS version. See here for details.

The display has rounded corners that follow a beautiful curved design, and these corners are within a standard rectangle. When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 15.40 cm / 6.06″ (iPhone 14, iPhone 13), 15.54 cm / 6.12″ (iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro), 16.95 cm / 6.68″ (iPhone 14 Plus) or 17.00 cm / 6.69″ (iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro Max) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less. One very welcome change is the jump up to 128GB for the base model, doubling the previous 64GB model. There’s also 256GB (the one I’d recommend) and a 512GB option. Battery life ProMotion, which adds an adaptive refresh rate that can ramp up to 120Hz and down to 10Hz, is one of the headline additions to both Pro models – and I have to say it’s my favourite iPhone upgrade in years.AppleCare+ provides unlimited incidents of accidental damage from handling. Each incident is subject to a servicefee. In 2020, Apple have ignored the expectations and rleased their base model with only 64GB of internal storage and stunned a sizeable chunk of their critics. With the iPhone 13, they have finally listened to the community and finally boosted the base storage option to 128GB for the entry-level price point. So don't be afraid to record 4K videos now as you should now have plenty of space even with the most affordable option. And finally, the display of the iPhone 13 is now maxing out at 800 nits of brightness. This makes it 175 nits brighter than the previous iPhone. iPhone 13: Price UK Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale.

The iPhone 13 is fast in all tasks you throw at it. I’ve tried countless Apple Arcade titles and they all run without a hitch, while apps open instantly. While I’d expect such performance on a far cheaper phone than this, it’s still worth noting. You don’t have any control over the screen, though. Don’t expect to find multiple presets available if your preference is for a cooler, or warmer, panel. Camera There’s a wider selection of 5G bands thanks to a new 5G modem. If you’re in the USA then the iPhone 13 also supports mmWave 5G – a faster version of the tech that only really works when you’re very close to the masts. mmWave isn’t a thing in the UK, nor many other regions yet, so the tech is simply just missing from these iPhone models.FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime‑enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi‑Fi connection. Availability over a mobile network depends on network provider policies; data charges may apply. With such a significant change to the iPhone’s exterior happening recently, this update was always going to be iterative. Apple has made some design changes, but they’re all fairly minor. iPhone 13 is splash, water and dust resistant and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 metres up to 30 minutes). Splash, water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.
