Considering buying an iPhone 13 this week? There’s almost no reason why you should, and a plethora of reasons to hold off till the iPhone 14 drops.
As Apple prepares to launch a new iPhone 14 at its Far Out event on September 7, there’s the annual question of whether one should buy the iPhone 13 now, or wait for the iPhone 14 to drop. After all, if all iPhones are the same, then it’s six of one and a half dozen of the other. Apple’s older iPhones also have a reputation of remaining very usable for years on end, and the iPhone 13 has proven a spectacular device even a year after launch.
The real question is whether you should buy an iPhone 13 in the lead-up to the iPhone 14 event, and the answer is, in most cases, a solid “no”.
The iPhone 13 series are refinements over the iPhone 12 series. Bigger screens, sharper displays, better cameras, and bigger batteries. No matter which one you purchase, it’ll still be very competitive with the best Android phones. So why should you wait if you’ve got $800 or so burning a hole in your pocket? Well, next week’s iPhones should be all of that and more.
If you want to buy an iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 is expected to be a better iPhone 13.
