Apple California Streaming event was held on September 14, 2021 and, on this occasion, the iPhone 13 was launched alongside other flagship products: iPad, iPad Mini and Apple Watch.

Each year, the arrival of a new iPhone model raises the same question, namely if it is worth going to the latest generation.

To answer it, we compared the iPhone 13 with version 11, because if it represents a minor update of the iPhone 12, it turns out to be very different from the 2019 edition.

Price and availability

Despite the release of the iPhone 13, the 11 is still part of the official range of smartphones marketed by the brand.And, due to its seniority, it is now offered at a lower price, a decline that makes it the most accessible high -end model.

As for the new iPhone 13, with its 128 GB of minimum storage, it is offered from € 909.Even cheaper, you will also find an iPhone 13 mini available from € 809.

You can get it on the Apple Store or other retailers.

The Black Friday event, which will take place on November 26, is an opportunity to do good deals on the iPhone 11, iPhone 12 or even 13.To take advantage of other Apple promotions, do not hesitate to consult our article devoted to the best deals of the brand.

Design and design

The design of the iPhone 13 is very close to that of the iPhone 12, or even almost identical.In broad outline, it is more compact and square than the iPhone 11, but also lighter, 174 g against 194 g, despite the same screen size.

One of the other design differences is the management of Magsafe accessories, ranging from wallets to chargers.They fix firmly at the back of the iPhone 13, thus making it possible to facilitate the use of wireless chargers.

Like the iPhone 12, the latest generation has a Ceramic Shield screen for fall protection four times that of the iPhone 11.And, although the two aircraft are certified IP68 for sealing, the 13 can be diving up to 6 m deep, twice 11.

Both wear a lightning port and a notch, the last design element that helps us to distinguish it is their color.The iPhone 11 is available in purple, yellow, green, black, white and productred.

The iPhone 13 is available in pink, blue, midnight, stellar light and productred.

Technical characteristics

With a two -year gap between the two outings, it is not surprising the technical characteristics evolve.Double storage capacity (plus a variant of 512 GB) and the integration of 5G, for example, are only.

Under the hood, the iPhone 13 is equipped with the latest Apple processor and, although the iPhone 11 remains a very efficient device, the A15 Bionic is much more powerful.

At the rear, the two models embark a double camera of 12 Mp at the rear, with very similar specifications, but those of the iPhone 13 have pixels of 1.7 µm, a f/1.8 opening, optical stabilization of the more advanced Sensor Shift image.As for the video, he offers recording in kinematic mode and HDR Dolby Vision.

Thus, the iPhone 13 is a good update if you are a fan of the video.For photography, the performance is quite similar.

Finally, it should be noted that the screen sizes are both 6.1 inch, but that the iPhone 11 is limited to an IPS LCD display.The iPhone 13 is equipped with a Super Retina XDR which offers an OLED panel and the management of HDR.It has a much better contrast rate and higher brightness, also.
