Battery Life

While Apple had made some strides with the iPhone 12 battery, the transition to 5G meant these changes were not really felt by users as the battery still drained fairly quickly.

This has been the main concern for iPhone lovers as the iPhone 13 comes into the market. Well, there is some good news on that end.

You also do not expect to spend too much time near the charging port. The phone comes with a fast-charging feature, and you can get your battery 50% charged in 30 minutes.

This is achieved with a with 20W adapter or higher (available separately).

Camera

Aside from the battery life, the camera is another feature most people have paid attention to with the iPhone 13. Rightfully so. Seeing as most people’s phones are their constant travel companions, there is a need to have a camera worth carrying around.

This phone’s camera is unlikely to disappoint.

The iPhone 13 features a 12MP camera, a wide-angle camera with a 1.6 aperture, and an ultra-wide angled version with a 2.4 aperture. In addition, the cameras on the iPhone 13 are mounted horizontally and have larger lenses which allow more light in. This gives you better photos and better light in low-light settings.

The Verdict

While this phone is not an entirely new creation, it’s a refinement of the iPhone 12 and others before it. If the unimpressive sales of the iPhone 12 are anything to go by, then the improved battery in the iPhone 13 is well worth its price tag.

Overall, there will be little or no buyer regret on this one.
