Screen and size

iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 13 screen

iPhone 13 Pro: 6.1 inches, high refresh rate

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display. The screen refreshes not 60, but up to 120 times per second thanks to the new ProMotion technology. As a result, animations look smooth when you scroll or play games. The screen automatically adjusts to your activity. Are you reading an article? The screen will refresh less frequently. This is better for your battery and your eyes. Do you prefer a large 6.7-inch screen? Choose the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The only difference between that device and the iPhone 13 Pro is the size.

size iPhone 13

iPhone 13: 6.1 inches, lower refresh rate

The iPhone 13 has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display. Just like the iPhone 13 Pro, this device also has an OLED screen. That means you can enjoy deep, rich colors when you game or watch series. For example, black tones will be truly black instead of dark gray. The screen of the iPhone 13 doesn't have ProMotion, so animations don't look as smooth as on the iPhone 13 Pro. Are you looking for a more compact smartphone? Choose the iPhone 13 Mini. This is the same device, but with a 5.4-inch screen.

Camera

iPhone 13 Pro: zoom in without quality loss

With a standard lens, a wide-angle lens, and a telephoto lens, the iPhone 13 Pro has a suitable camera for every situation. The telephoto lens lets you zoom in up to 3 times without your photo or video becoming grainy. The LiDAR sensor measures the depth, so you can take portrait photos with a depth of field effect. Just like with the iPhone 13, you can use Cinematic Mode when you record. That way, you can change the object or person you focus on while you record or afterwards.

iPhone 13: no zooming in without quality loss

The options of the iPhone 13 when it comes to cameras aren't as extensive. For example, the device doesn't have a telephoto lens. That means you can't zoom in without quality loss. The iPhone 13 also doesn't have a LiDAR sensor. As a result, the depth of field effect isn't as accurate. The iPhone 13 does have a wide-angle lens. With it, you can fit tall buildings or groups of people into the frame in their entirety. Just like the iPhone 13 Pro, it has improved image stabilization. That means your photos will always be razor-sharp.

Design and versions

iPhone 13 Pro: matte finish, up to 1TB storage capacity

The matte back and the glossy sides give the iPhone 13 Pro a luxurious look. There's a narrow notch on the front for the selfie camera. You hardly notice it when you watch a video. The iPhone Pro is available in the colors graphite, gold, silver, and blue. In addition, you can choose from 4 storage capacities, namely 128, 256, 512GB, or 1TB storage. With 1TB storage, you never have to worry about storage again. You can save all your movies, music, apps, games, and photos on your smartphone.

Versions iPhone 13 vs iPhone 13 Pro colors

iPhone 13: glossy back, up to 512GB storage

Just like the Pro version, the Apple iPhone 13 has a narrow notch for the FaceTime camera. The design is nearly the same, but the back is glossy. If you don't use a case, you'll easily see fingerprints on this smartphone. You can choose from the colors black, white gold, RED, pink, and blue. The iPhone 13 is available with a couple of lower storage capacities. You can choose from smartphones with 128, 256, or 512GB storage. The average user needs at least 128GB.

Speed and battery

Battery comparison iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13

iPhone 13 Pro: powerful device, battery life of one day

The Apple iPhone 13 Pro runs on the powerful A15 Bionic chip. No app or game is too demanding for this processor. Thanks to the large 6GB RAM, you can smoothly switch between different apps. The 3095mAh battery lasts an entire day with average use. Apple doesn't include a charger, so you have to purchase one separately. With the Apple USB-C 20W charger, you can charge your iPhone 13 Pro up to 50% in half an hour. You can also charge your iPhone 13 Pro wirelessly.

iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 13 processing power

iPhone 13: same processing power, shorter battery life

The iPhone 13 has the same powerful A15 Bionic chip. It also has 6GB RAM, so you can switch between different apps just as fast. The iPhone 13 is less energy-efficient, so the battery doesn't last as long as that of the iPhone 13 Pro. With average use, you can still make it to the end of your day at work or school without recharging. Apple doesn't include a charger with the iPhone 13 either. You can purchase the fast 20W charger or charge your device wirelessly with a MagSafe wireless charger, for example.

Conclusion

The Apple iPhone 13 is a good device, but you get more options with the iPhone 13 Pro. For example, you can use the telephoto lens to zoom in quite far without your photos and videos becoming less sharp. In addition, the screen has a higher refresh rate thanks to ProMotion. As a result, animations look smoother. Only the iPhone 13 Pro is available with a 1TB storage capacity. This is useful if you make a lot of high-quality photos and videos. Aside from that, the battery of the iPhone 13 Pro lasts longer.
