Pros and cons

According to our mobile phone expert

  • The screen refreshes 120 times per second, so movements look smooth during scrolling and gaming.
  • The iPhone 13 Pro is more energy-efficient than the iPhone 12 Pro, so the battery lasts 1.5 hour longer.
  • You can operate this iPhone with one hand and it has the same size as the iPhone X / Xs / 11 Pro / 12 Pro, which is smaller than the iPhone Xr / 11.
  • A charger and earbuds aren't included by default, so you have to purchase them separately.
  • The battery of the iPhone 13 Pro doesn't last as long as the large battery of the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
  • The device doesn't have a 3.5mm connector to connect headphones or earbuds.

Description

You can enjoy smooth animations when you scroll or comfortably read an article thanks to the 6.1-inch ProMotion screen of the Apple iPhone 13 Pro 256GB Graphite. The 256GB storage offers plenty of storage space for all your apps, photos, and videos, unless you have a very large collection. The refresh rate constantly adjusts to what you're doing. When you scroll or play a game, the screen refreshes 120 times per second and animations look smooth. When you read an online article, the screen refreshes less often. That's better for your eyes. With the 3 cameras, you can take better photos in low light. That's because they have a larger sensor, night mode, and the standard camera also has improved image stabilization. With the telephoto lens, you can zoom in 3 times without losing any quality. Thanks to Cinematic Mode, you can easily change the point your camera focuses on while you record or afterwards. As a result, your videos look professional. The powerful A15 Bionic chip and 6GB RAM ensure that the iPhone 13 performs these tasks effortlessly. Since the iPhone 13 Pro is more energy-efficient than the iPhone 12 Pro, the battery lasts 1.5 hours longer.

Note: a charger or earbuds aren't included. Use your current accessories or buy new ones.

Our expert review

Smooth image thanks to ProMotion and long battery life

  • Screen with ProMotion for a smooth display
  • One and a half day battery life
  • Macro photography through the wide angle lens
  • Vulnerable, large camera lenses

Thanks to the lightning-fast A15 processor, good battery life and excellent camera, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro is one of the best smartphones of the moment.

Recognizable design
It is immediately noticeable that iPhone 13 Pro has many similarities with its predecessor, iPhone 12 Pro. The device has the same dimensions, shiny sides and a matte glass back. The biggest differences I find with the camera island on the back and the notch on the front. The camera lenses are larger thanks to the new sensors. As a result, the camera island is also larger. I am afraid of damage if I put the device in my pocket or bag. The notch at the top of the screen is smaller. This gives me a little more screen space when I watch movies and series.

Screen with ProMotion technology
The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR screen is clear and easy to read in both a light and dark environment. Thanks to the ProMotion technology, the screen refreshes between 10 and 120 times per second. As a result, movements on the screen are smoother and quieter for my eyes than on my own iPhone 12, for example. I see this especially with 3D games and when I scroll through news pages or my social media.

Lightning-fast A15 Bionic chip
The A15 Bionic chip is lightning fast. Apps like Instagram and YouTube are on the screen in the blink of an eye. Heavier apps and games open less quickly, but that goes faster when I compare it with my own iPhone 12. The big advantage of the new energy-efficient A15 chip is the long battery life and new camera functions.

One and a half day battery life
The battery of iPhone 13 Pro lasts a long time. I use my smartphone about 6 hours a day and I can easily achieve that with the iPhone 13 Pro. During that time I read articles, keep track of my social media and watch videos. In the evening I still have enough battery for, for example, watching a movie or series. A full battery lasts an average of one and a half days.

Macro photography and a new video mode
With Phone 13 Pro I take sharp photos and videos both in the evening and during the day. Thanks to the telephoto lens, for example, I can get the top of a building towards me without loss of quality. The wide-angle lens has been given a new extra function. Here I now also take sharp photos from very close. I can even see the veins of a leaf. With the new 'Cinematic Mode' I give movies a special depth-of-field effect. It's a lot like 'Portrait Mode', but for videos.

9,3/10

For lovers of 120Hz and long term use.

  • 120Hz screen huge difference with 60Hz
  • Future-proof in terms of hardware and software
  • Very good photos and videos
  • Substantial surcharge compared to 'normal' iPhone 13

Why do you need the 'Pro' models?
- If you think 120Hz is important (try to test this on someone else's Android phone, the difference is really huge but maybe you don't care)
- If you think zooming in with your camera is important (non-Pro models don't have a dedicated zoom camera)
- If you plan on using your phone for 5 years or more, as the pro models have more RAM and are slightly better ready for years of use. If you're planning to do this, don't buy the 128GB but at least 256GB (in 5 years you might really need more storage than you have now, and you can never buy it again). Only buy 512GB or 1TB if you also plan to film a lot.

Why do you need the 'normal' models?
- Saves a lot of money.
- Normal model is slightly lighter than the Pro.
- If you want a small phone you must have the mini

This is the best that Apple has to offer, and logically you pay a lot of money for it. Price/quality is therefore moderate, but for the rest you can only find this a mediocre product if iOS just doesn't suit you.

10/10

Top quality iPhone

  • Battery is terribly good
  • 120Hz screen
  • Top quality cameras

The battery lasts an awfully long time, with 8 hours of screen time it was down to 20%. The 120Hz screen is very clear and fluid and the A15 SoC makes everything go very smoothly and quickly.
