Furthermore, they were released on September 24, 2021.[10][11] Improvements over the iPhone 12 include a 512 GB storage variant,BeiDou positioning support, andHDR video recording at doubled 60 frames per second.
The iPhone 13 Mini was discontinued in September 2023, and the iPhone 13 was discontinued in September 2024 with the announcement of theiPhone 16.
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini were officially announced alongside theninth-generation iPad,6th generation iPad Mini,Apple Watch Series 7,iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max by a virtual press event filmed and recorded atApple Park inCupertino, California, on September 14, 2021. Pre-orders began on September 17, 2021, at 5:00 amPDT. Pricing started atUS$799 for the iPhone 13 and US$699 for the iPhone 13 Mini.[12]
Together withiPhone 12, the iPhone 13 Mini was discontinued on September 12, 2023, with the announcement of theiPhone 15 and15 Pro. The iPhone 13 continued to be sold until the announcement of theiPhone 16 and16 Pro on September 9, 2024, when it was discontinued alongside the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone 13 has a flat chassis analogous to that of contemporaneous Apple products, with some differences such as the rear cameras being larger and arranged diagonally. TheFace ID True Depth sensor housing on the iPhone is 20% smaller yet taller than its predecessors.[13]

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini use an Apple-designedA15 Bionicsystem on a chip. The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini feature a 6-coreCPU, 4-coreGPU, and 16-core Neural Engine, while theiPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max feature a 5-core GPU.[16]
The iPhone 13 features a 6.1-inch (155 mm) display with Super Retina XDROLED technology at aresolution of 1170×2532 pixels and apixel density of about 460 PPI with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The iPhone 13 Mini features a 5.4-inch (137 mm) display with the same technology at a resolution of 1080×2340 pixels and a pixel density of about 476 PPI. Both models have the Super Retina XDR OLED display with improved typical brightness up to 800nits, and max brightness up to 1200 nits.[1]
The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini feature the same camera system with three cameras: one front-facing camera (12MP f/2.2) and two back-facing cameras: a wide (12 MP f/1.6) and ultra-wide (12 MP f/2.4) camera. The back-facing cameras both contain larger sensors for more light-gathering, with newsensor shiftoptical image stabilization (OIS) on the main camera. The camera module on the back is arranged diagonally instead of vertically to engineer the larger sensors.[1]
The cameras use Apple's latestcomputational photography engine, called SmartHDR 4. Users can also choose from a range of photographic styles during capture, including rich contrast, vibrant, warm, and cool. Apple clarifies this is different from afilter because it works intelligently with the image processing algorithm during capture to apply local adjustments to an image and the effects will be baked into the photos, unlike filters which can be removed after applying.[1]
The camera app contains a new mode called Cinematic Mode, which allows users torack focus between subjects and create (simulate) shallow depth of field using software algorithms. It is supported on wide and front-facing cameras in1080p@30fps.[1]
The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini haveLightning fast charging at 20 Watts, and wireless charging viaMagSafe at 15 W (iPhone 13) or 12 W (13 Mini), or via theQi protocol at 7.5 W.
iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini were originally shipped withiOS 15 at launch.[1] They are compatible withiOS 16, which was released on September 12, 2022.iOS 17, which was revealed at Apple'sWWDC 2023 event, is compatible with the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini.[17] The next-generationQi2 wireless charging standard has been added to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini with the update toiOS 17.2.[18] They are compatible withiOS 18, which was released on September 16, 2024.[19]
These phones support the current public release of iOS, which is currentlyiOS 26.[20]
The 13 and 13 Mini are able to make calls via:FaceTime Audio / Video (not available in some regions);Voice over LTE (VoLTE);Wi-Fi Calling (not available in some regions models).Wi-Fi hotspotting is also possible
The iPhone 13 and 13 Mini were manufacturedon contract byPegatron andFoxconn for Apple.[21]
Some iPhone 13 parts are paired to the motherboard. The user is warned if a paired component (e.g. screen, battery) is replaced by independent repair shops, and theFace ID sensors may completely cease to function if replaced. On later iOS versions, Apple removed this limitation. Apple technicians have a proprietary software tool to pair components.[23][24]
