To recap
Although not drastically different from its predecessor, the boost to battery life for this generation makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a big-screen device. Sure, you do miss out on a handful of nice-to-have features compared to the Pro model - including the telephoto zoom lens and 120Hz fast-refresh display - but the iPhone 13 is still an excellent all-round device that, importantly, doesn’t cost quite as much.
