These are the base models of the iPhone 13 Series as other higher models are iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Not a big update but this iPhone 13 brings many minor updates to make this year’s iPhone more better and powerful.
Design And Display
Starting off with the design, the iPhone 13 is pretty similar to iPhone 12. It has a sleek, flat-edge display with a flat surface at the rear side excluding the camera bump. Its dual camera is now set diagonally to provide more space for the camera sensor. The front display is protected by a Ceramic Shield, has a Glass back, and an aluminum design in the frame. It has the same notch on the top which is now 20% smaller than the previous generation iPhones. Talking about the dimensions, the iPhone 13 has 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.7 mm (5.78 x 2.81 x 0.30 in) and a weight of 174 g.

Cameras
One of the most talked-about topics during the iPhone 13 launch event is its camera. The company has declared it as the most powerful dual-camera system in iPhone history. As mentioned earlier, both iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini have the same diagonally placed dual-camera system. It has a 12MP Wide camera and a 12MP Ultra-wide camera(120° field of view).
