The iPhone 13 Pro is one of 2021’s best smartphones, even if it doesn’t quite do enough to warrant upgrading from the 12 Pro. The battery life is the best we’ve seen in Apple’s Pro iPhone, and you’re also getting top-level performance, a great camera package and a super-smooth 120Hz screen. While on their own none of the upgrades for 2021 is huge, they add up to offer a fantastic smartphone experience.

Limited design changes; Very expensive; 4K ProRes limited in 128GB

Apple's iPhone 13 Pro offers all the same great features for content creators as the larger Pro Max, its battery just doesn't last as long.

Excellent cameras, including improved zoom, Smooth 120Hz display, Long battery life

Shorter battery life than the iPhone 13 Pro Max

The iPhone 13 Pro is another highly competent Apple phone, with the most notable improvements coming in the camera department

ProMotion 120Hz OLED display, Decent battery life, Excellent set of cameras

A bit boring, Lens flare still an issue

The iPhone 13 Pro represents a major improvement over the iPhone 12 Pro. Sure, it retains a similar design, but with improvements to the display, battery, and camera, the phone is better where it matters.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

13 is the charm! The iPhone goes into the next round with a 120-Hz panel, a bigger battery and an improved camera system. In our review, the iPhone 13 Pro has earned not only superlatives but also a few points of criticism.

responsive system, outstanding 120-Hz OLED display, great battery life, good triple camera system, accurate geolocation, supports many LTE and 5G frequencies

heavy, no 5G-mmWave in Europe, slow Wi-Fi 6, limited NFC functionality, poor noise reduction in phone calls

Great to finally see a 120Hz display on an iPhone; Good battery life; Seriously impressive camera system;

Other phones have better zoom; The notch feels dated;

“The iPhone 13 Pro packs plenty of power under the hood with a 120Hz display, excellent camera capabilities, tons of storage, and endless battery life.”

The iPhone 13 Pro is the best of the 2021 Apple crop thanks to the 120Hz ProMotion display, enhanced camera, and two-day battery life - but bear in mind that the best Android rivals still win on charging speeds and low light camera performance.

120Hz ProMotion display; Fantastic camera; Excellent battery life;

Slow charging; No always-on display; Smaller notch doesn't improve things; Expensive;
