Apple announced its new iPhone lineup at its September event alongside the Apple Watch 7, iPad Mini 6 and updated entry-level iPad. The new lineup, named the iPhone 13, mirrors last year’s iPhone 12 collection with standard, Mini, Pro and Pro Max versions. The updated iPhone runs on iOS 15, which will be publicly available to install next week, and features a few camera upgrades, upped storage, a new A15 Bionic processor and more. (Here’s how you can preorder the iPhone 13.) We were fairly certain there would be four iPhone 13 variants in advance of Apple’s big event, just like last year’s iPhone 12 lineup (though the future of the iPhone Mini is not so certain). The four-model lineup for the iPhone 13 was predicted by industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The iPhone 13 lineup was also spotted in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission for a revised MagSafe charger. The filing referenced the four new iPhone models alongside the four “legacy” iPhone 12 models: the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max ahead of Tuesday’s event.

Not only is the iPhone 13’s starting storage impressive — the standard and Mini model are offered in 128GB,256GB and 512GB options — but the Pro and Pro Max storage is downright huge. You can get one of the Pro models with a whopping 1TB of storage. Although the iPhone 13 lineup mirrors the iPhone 12, Apple’s 2021 iPhones features a slightly new design, updated camera and feature upgrades for a similar price as 2020’s iPhone 12 models. Here’s everything we know about the iPhone 13 collection after Apple’s September event, and how each model differs from each other. The iPhone 13 lineup mostly mimics the pricing for the iPhone 12. Although Apple has since done away with the 64GB storage option for its standard and Mini options, the pricing of the iPhone 13 have stayed the same. The iPhone 13 Mini starts at $699 for 128GB of storage. The standard iPhone 13 starts at $799, the Pro starts at $999 and Pro Max at $1,0999. The prices for the Pro versions are similar to other high-end smartphone models like the Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra, which cost $1,000 and $1,200, respectively. The prices for the new iPhone increase as you go up in storage, especially since the iPhone features a 1TB storage option for the first time.
