The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini aren’t huge updates over their predecessors, lacking many of the features that set the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max apart, but Apple has found ways to keep things fresh
This year, Apple has updated all four of its mainstream iPhone models without changing much about their design, sizes, and how they stack up against each other. The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have top-end camera features and build quality, but their high prices will keep them out of reach for a lot of people. Many buyers looking for something new will focus on the two more mainstream options, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. These should be good enough for most people, but they will have to prove that they’re better than their predecessors, which remain on sale, as well as plenty of far less expensive Android phones with competitive features and specifications. Apple has launched these phones at the same starting prices as their predecessors in India, which in itself is good news. What’s even better is that you get twice the amount of storage at each tier.128GB is now the base amount, and the iPhone 13 mini starts at Rs.69,900. That goes up to Rs.79,900 for 256GB and Rs. Rs.99,900 for the new 512GB option. The iPhone 13 128GB costs Rs.79,900, while the 256GB option is priced at Rs.89,900 and the 512GB option will cost Rs.109,900. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are nearly identical in terms of design and specifications. They have different screen sizes and battery capacities, and just like last year, the iPhone 12 mini has slightly slower wireless charging, most likely due to thermal constraints in its tiny body. Beyond that, they deliver the same capabilities, so your choice between them comes down to budget and personal preference. For people upgrading from an older smartphone or just prefer something as light and unobtrusive as possible, the iPhone 13 mini continues to serve as a familiar path forward.
