Software and applications
The iPhone 13 is listed among the models compatible with iOS 26 published by Apple. This information describes current compatibility and does not constitute a forecast of how many years of future updates the model will receive.
Before purchasing, check the App Store for the requirements of essential applications and review the official iOS compatibility list.
iPhone 13, mini, Pro and Pro Max
The iPhone 13 family includes configurations with different sizes, cameras and screens. The Pro models have features that do not exist on the base model, such as ProMotion and a telephoto camera. Always check the technical specification of the exact model, because a feature of a Pro or Pro Max does not automatically apply to the base iPhone 13 or mini.
How to choose a refurbished device
- Capacity: compare 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB with the space you currently use.
- Condition: read the grade and description of the device. The exterior condition may vary.
- Battery: iOutlet tests the battery with professional diagnostic software. Actual battery life depends on condition, network, brightness, apps and settings.
- Network: Check with your operator for coverage, plan and supported bands in your location.
- Accessories: See what is included in the offer and the compatibility of any accessories you already own.
Compare with iPhone 12 and iPhone 14
Compared to the base iPhone 12, the base iPhone 13 uses the A15 Bionic chip and Apple states up to 19 hours of video playback, versus up to 17 hours on the iPhone 12. These estimates are for comparing models under Apple’s tests; they do not guarantee the battery life of a specific device.
