It is quite rare that such a recent product already has promotional offers, especially when it comes to the Apple iPhone. But some merchants can take advantage of such a launch to stand out by offering some exclusive price reductions! This is particularly the case for the iPhone 13 which notably has small welcome reductions, especially at SFR:
Please also note that unless there are promotional codes, it would seem quite surprising that new promotions will appear soon. Apple’s strategy is rather to sell off the stocks of the previous generation of iPhones before offering very interesting price reductions on the most recent.
As was the case in previous years, Apple wasted no time in launching its new flagship. The new iPhone 13 and its various versions were available for pre-order for a few days after their reveal. Several brands now offer Apple’s new smartphone, but all are displayed at the recommended retail price. Do not hesitate to stroll on the different sites to consult the colors and storage spaces available. Note that the shortage of computer chips can lead to extended delivery times at some sites.
We offer some major versions of the iPhone 13 below, but from the 128GB version to the 1TB version, there are many variations in the four new models. Do not hesitate to stroll on the different sites to consult the different colors and versions available according to your desires and needs:
The four new iPhones – iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max – are equipped with a new processor: the A15 Bionic chip, which will offer significantly more power than the new one. phone, with better battery management in particular.
The iPhone 13 also has larger batteries, which Apple says will provide 1.5 to 2.5 hours of additional use per day. This novelty is partly linked to the installation of the A15 chip. The iPhone 13 has a faster chip, faster 5G, a brighter OLED display, and the most advanced dual camera system ever built into an iPhone, and with all those upgrades , the iPhone 13 has better battery life “, summarized the vice president of Apple, Kiann Drance during the Keynote.
The cameras of the iPhone 13 have also been improved. In addition to reducing the notch on the front of the smartphone, a new feature, Cinema mode, will allow video shooting using the rear cameras and users to change focus, with a new f / aperture. 1.6, a 7-element lens, a focal length of 26mm. The iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, also have a new 3x telephoto lens and an ultra-wide camera that allows macro photography for the first time, to photograph small objects.
On the design side, Apple wanted to bet on an elegant aesthetic, with a thinner notch. Of course, the iPhone 13 has the IP68 system against splashes. But it is especially on the back of the device that its appearance changes the most. Indeed, the cameras are now in duo, placed diagonally.
Color level, the iPhone 13 reserves new options, such as the creation of the pink iPhone. You can still find the usual colors which are red, midnight black, starlight white and blue. As for the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, the latter are available in Alpine Blue, Graphite, Gold and Silver versions.
Despite very disappointing sales for the iPhone 12 mini, Apple decided to try the experiment again by announcing an iPhone 13 mini. The latter has the same characteristics as its classic version, but in a smaller format, in order to be easy to store and use. It is also available in several colors, as is the case for the classic version namely pink, blue, midnight, starlight and red. The iPhone 13 mini is fully compatible with 5G communication networks, and benefits from iOS 15.
This is one of the many questions that Apple answered during its iPhone 13 presentation party: there is indeed an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. As with the Pro version of the 12, the iPhone 13 Pro is once again aimed at budding photographers. Better, a filter called “Cinematic Video” transposes the portrait mode, until now reserved for photos, to video capture. The 3x mode also allows for a wider angle, macro photography style. As for its screen, it measures between 6.1 and 6.7 inches (it all depends on whether you choose the Max option as well).
As a reminder, the iPhone 12 Pro was already an improved version, and which notably had an additional photo sensor dedicated to the telephoto lens, as well as a video quality of up to 60 images per second (against 30 on the iPhone 12 classic and mini). The other characteristics remained broadly the same as on the other versions.
Like its iPhone 12 released last year, Apple again offers a Pro model for the iPhone 13. Compared to the classic iPhone 13, it displays a smaller notch, but a camera module larger than the initial format. Great novelty in its aesthetics, the color blue “Alpine” makes its entry into the small family of iPhone Pro. Compared to the iPhone 12 Pro, there are novelties in its performance, thanks to the use of an A15 Bionic chip, which notably allows greater battery life. New technology still used, ProMotion makes its debut in the iPhone 13 Pro. This, used by the iPad, invites greater screen brightness.
Regarding size, the iPhone 13 Pro has a 6.1-inch screen, compared to 6.7 inches for the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It is especially the camera of the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max that will interest fans. Thanks to a telephoto lens with x3 zoom, it is now possible to capture photos in macro mode. In addition, it benefits from new settings on the camera, to make your portraits more and more professional.
Price level, it takes € 809 to acquire the iPhone 13 mini, and € 909 for the iPhone 13. These are the same prices as for the iPhone 12 when it was released at the end of 2020. Here is the official prices of the iPhone 13 and its mini and Pro versions:
- iPhone 13 mini: from 809 euros.
- Classic iPhone 13: from 909 euros.
- iPhone 13 Pro: from 1159 euros.
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: from 1259 euros (and up to 1,839 euros for the one with 1 TB of storage)
If you plan to wait for possible price cuts to take advantage of the latest iPhone 13, you will have to be patient. Apple still has plenty of units from its predecessor, the iPhone 12, which can still flow while taking advantage of promotions. We will certainly have to wait several months before taking advantage of real price reductions on Apple’s latest phone.
A new, more efficient chip
If we take a closer look at the characteristics of the iPhone 13, Apple reveals a new processor and in particular an A15 chip that would make the iPhone 13 faster than its predecessors. But its capacities will not be increased tenfold: the A15 chip does not promise to be revolutionary (it will not be engraved in 3 nm but will remain in 5 nm like the A14 and will include the same number of cores) and is in particular already in use. on the iPad. But the A15 Bionic chip is still 50% faster than the competition.
A dual camera for the classic iPhone 13
It was Apple’s other big bet: to offer a better photo, and especially video. Thanks to these new sensors, the apple brand promises more pronounced colors. Thanks to new technologies such as Sensor Shift, these sensors offer more optical stabilization to the user. Video level, the iPhone 13 and 13 mini also offer a better ultra wide angle on the back of the device (12 mpx, f / 1.6, 26 mm equivalent).
On the first images that had leaked, we could already see changes in the position of the photo sensors. On the back of the iPhone 13, two sensors are positioned diagonally in order to respond to the size of several components present in the smartphone. The notch of the front camera is also smaller than on the iPhone 12 models. As for the dimensions of the classic iPhone 13, they are identical to those of its predecessor, namely 146.7 × 71.5 × 7 , 6 mm. In addition, the Face ID system is improved, with effective facial recognition even if the owner wears a mask. An iPhone 13 in the Covid-19 fashion therefore.
This is the other big novelty for this re-entry of the apple brand. Apple presented, during the Keynote in September, a new storage space for the iPhone … up to 1 TB! Previously, the largest storage did not exceed 512 GB. If this storage capacity is unprecedented for a smartphone, its price has been impacted. It takes a little over 1,800 euros to acquire this type of iPhone in Pro format.
Apple is seeing all the colors this year. The iPhone 13 is available in pink, a brand new colorway in addition to blue, midnight (black), starlight (white), and red (whose funds are in part donated to the Global Fund to fight Covid-19) . The iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max also reserve a nice surprise with the color “alpine blue”. Are you going to be tempted by an azure blue design? Or will you prefer the other more classic colors? In the Pro family, we find the color silver, gold or graphite (black) for this iPhone 13 that looks like a real premium smartphone.
