iPhone 12 versus iPhone 13

Every year, we test, benchmark, and analyse Apple’s phones to complete the following sentence: the iPhone [insert version number here] is the model that is deemed the one for most people, offered in a size that’s popular, with a satisfying feature set, and a price that meets most budgets.

The iPhone 13 (above right) would normally be the phone that sits at that spot. The iPhone 13 offers a great set of features for £779, but the iPhone 12 (above left) is still a very good phone for £100 less, particularly if you don’t need the newest features. Let’s take a look at the major components of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 and how they compare.
