Apple has just announced the iPhone 13 lineup, consisting of the iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, as part of its pretaped September event. The new phones show off a new camera system, a tweaked design with a smaller notch, longer battery life and a variety of colors. And the entire iPhone 13 line starts with 128GB of storage, meaning that the phone will likely have plenty of space for your photos, apps, music and more for the price of $699 (£679, AU$1,199) for the Mini and $799 (£779, AU$1,349) for the base iPhone 13. Although if you did want to step up, on the iPhone 13 Pro line you can now get as much as 1TB of space.
Meanwhile the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini aren’t going anywhere. Both phones received a price drop, starting at $599 for the 64GB iPhone 12 Mini and $699 for the 64GB iPhone 12. If you can make do with less storage space, the iPhone 12 models are still great phones that run plenty fast, support 5G and are powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chip. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max however, have been discontinued to make room for the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max.
