The best iPhone 13 model depends mainly on the size you want and whether you value the Pro display and camera features. Choose the iPhone 13 mini for the smallest screen, the iPhone 13 for a standard 6.1-inch phone, the iPhone 13 Pro for Pro features in that same size, or the iPhone 13 Pro Max for the largest screen with Pro features.

Apple lists all four models with the A15 Bionic chip. In Apple’s comparison, the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have a five-core GPU, while the iPhone 13 and 13 mini have a four-core GPU. All four use a Lightning connector. Apple’s iPhone comparison provides the manufacturer’s model specifications.

Which iPhone 13 model should you choose?

Choose iPhone 13 mini for the smallest size

Its 5.4-inch display makes the mini the compact choice among these four models. Pick it when minimizing screen and device size is more important to you than having a larger viewing area.

Choose iPhone 13 for a standard 6.1-inch phone

The iPhone 13 gives you the family’s standard 6.1-inch display without the Pro camera package or ProMotion. It is the straightforward fit if you want that size and do not prioritize those Pro features.

Yojaro 4Pack Silicone Suction Phone Case Mount, Silicon Adhesive Smartphones Stand Sticky, Hands-Free Phone Accessories Holder for Selfies and Videos (Black & White & Translucent & Light Pink)
  • 【Strong Adsorption】The inspiration of the silicone phone suction case comes from the adhesive force of the octopus. Each suction cup phone mount is 3.15 inches long and 2.17 inches wide, with 24 independent suction cups providing a stronger and more stable suction force, so you don't have to worry about your phone falling during use.
  • 【Back of Phone Suction Grip】Remove the adhesive film on the phone suction cup and stick it on the phone case. You can then fix the phone on any smooth surface, which is very convenient. (The phone suction cup cannot be removed and reused after being attached to the phone case. It is recommended to attach it to a regular phone case, not a valuable one.)

Choose iPhone 13 Pro for Pro features without the Max size

The 6.1-inch iPhone 13 Pro adds ProMotion and a triple-camera system. It suits someone who wants those features but prefers the same screen size as the standard iPhone 13.

Choose iPhone 13 Pro Max for the largest screen

The Pro Max combines a 6.7-inch display with Pro camera features. Choose it if the larger viewing area is your priority and you are comfortable with a larger phone.
