The 6.1-inch display iPhone 13 and the 5.1-inch display iPhone 13 mini have been redesigned and come in five different colors, according to the company. Both phones will have an improved rear camera layout, arranged diagonally, and a redesigned TrueDepth camera system. While smaller, it offers more display area than before. The improved Super Retina XDR OLED displays are also brighter while at the same time being more power-efficient.
The most notable improvement is the all-day battery life, according to Apple. The iPhone 13 offers up to two and a half more hours in one day than the iPhone 12, and the iPhone 13 mini provides up to an hour and a half more in one day than the iPhone 12 mini.
The mini and iPhone 13 start at $699 and $799, respectively, for 128 GB of storage space.
