PICK N’ CHOOSE
There are four colour options available for the new iPhone – including a new blue option.
The notch is smaller thanks to a reduction in the Face ID module, giving you more screen to enjoy.
There’s IP68 water resistance, a new display, and an improved camera system.
It’s also powered by Apple’s powerful new A15 Bionic chip – as seen in the standard iPhone 13.
PRO GO!
The iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1 inch screen, rising to 6.7 inch for the Pro Max.
It starts at $999, or $1,099 for the Pro Max.
This year, there’s a new 1TB storage option – in addition to 128GB, 256GB and 512GB options.
Pre-orders are live from Friday for the iPhone 13, all of which are available from September 24.
Here’s the new iPhone line-up…
SUPER SNAPPER
Apple is talking up huge improvements in low-light photography.
That means “you’ll get beautiful photos in any situation”, according to Apple.
There’s also better astrophotography when shooting the night sky with a tripod, as rumoured.
Apple has also added a new Macro Photography mode, letting you magnify subjects with a minimum distance of 2cm.
Example photos looked great.
IT PAYS TO BE IN THE UK
APPLE’S top-end iPhone model has had a price cut for TWO years in a row in Britain.
Each year Apple has shaved £50 off the price of the high-end Pro model – including for this year’s iPhone 13 Pro.
Here’s how iPhone Pro pricing has changed over the past two years in the UK:
- iPhone 13 Pro – £949
- iPhone 12 Pro – £999
- iPhone 11 Pro – £1,049
And here’s how iPhone Pro Max UK prices have fallen:
- iPhone 13 Pro Max – £1,049
- iPhone 12 Pro Max – £1,099
- iPhone 11 Pro Max – £1,149
I-SEE!
Face ID now fits into a 20% smaller space – slightly reducing the notch.
There’s a bigger battery (thanks to some internal re-engineering).
Apple has also created a smaller version of the iPhone 13 called the iPhone 13 Mini.
This is a similar format to last year’s iPhone 12.
Peak brightness on the iPhone 13’s screen is 1,200 nits – making outdoor use easy, even on sunny days.
Apple says the display has a high contrast ratio, so you can see true blacks.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BLACK FRIDAY iPHONE DEALS?
In a nutshell: it’s the iPhone 12 that will likely appear the most among all the deals that we’ll see during Black Friday 2021.
With the imminent release of the iPhone 13, the iPhone 12 will no long have flagship status, and so retailers will lower prices across their contracts.
Don’t be put off by the fact it’s no longer top-of-the-line: we’re hearing whispers that the 13 isn’t a major advance on its predecessor, and as you can read in our Tech Editor Sean Keach’s iPhone 12 review, this is a superb handset that offered users a huge range of new capabilities.
It’ll be Fonehouse, Affordable Mobiles, Mobiles.co.uk and Carphone Warehouse that are likely to lead with the best deals. But like we say, we recommend you stay abreast of what they’re offering at least a week ahead of Black Friday.
And if you want to check out great deals on handsets from Samsung, Sony, Huawei and others, head to our pick of the best Black Friday phone deals here.
