What's our thoughts on the Apple iPhone 13?
Overall Score: 3.0/5
RefurbStore's independent expert review
Overall Score: 3.0/5
Overview:
The iPhone 13, the latest flagship from Apple, maintains the high standard we’ve come to expect from the tech giant. The device comes with improved features, including a more powerful chipset, enhanced camera system, longer battery life, and a slightly smaller notch. While these upgrades are appreciated, the price point remains a concern for many potential buyers.
Price: 3/5
Considering its premium features, the iPhone 13's price tag shouldn’t come as a surprise. However, when compared to competitors in the market offering similar features at a lower price, the iPhone 13 doesn't exactly shine in the affordability department.
Camera: 4.5/5
The iPhone 13's camera is one of its top selling points. It features a dual-camera system with sensor-shift optical image stabilization for excellent photo and video quality. The Night mode has been expanded to all cameras, and the Cinematic mode adds depth to your videos. It's truly a phone for photographers, but it still doesn't mark a hugely significant leap from its predecessor.
Power: 4.5/5
The iPhone 13 is powered by Apple's latest A15 Bionic chip, providing exceptional performance whether you're gaming, streaming, or multitasking. It's a step up from the previous generation and performs admirably under pressure, but overall, the average user may not notice a significant difference in daily usage.
