“The iPhone 13 Pro is the best model you can get in the lineup thanks to the 120Hz display, excellent camera, easy to use software, and two-day battery life.”

Very long-lasting battery

Cons

Let’s get this out the way now: The iPhone 13 Pro is the new iPhone model you should buy. You’ll remember the iPhone 12 Pro Max had bigger camera sensors, giving it better lowlight performance and 3x optical zoom, rather than 2x. Not so this time. The iPhone 13 Pro is the same as the 13 Pro Max (aside from battery capacity and screen size, of course). so you don’t have to bust your hand or your wallet to get the top features.
Add into the mix the powerful A15 Bionic processor, 120Hz ProMotion display, battery life that can last almost two days, and excellent camera performance, and you have the best iPhone 13 model in the entire lineup. We’ve been using it since launch day, and have updated our review to reflect its performance many months into its life cycle.
Design
The iPhone 13 Pro comes in five different colors, including the Sierra Blue seen in our photos, along with Alpine Green, silver, gold, and graphite. Both the front and the back are protected by Apple’s Ceramic Shield glass, and a squared-off stainless steel strip runs along the sides, setting it apart in quality from the cheaper aluminum of the iPhone 13.

Software and features- The iPhone 13 Pro comes with iOS 15, and we took a deeper dive into its individual features, but the notable ones include improved notification summaries, support for text scanning in the camera app, tabs for Safari, and future support for storing immunization records and other data.
- Apple’s iOS software is among the easiest smartphone software platforms to learn, and one of the most reliable too. App compatibility is superb, with all major apps available for the platform and easily downloaded through the App Store. It doesn’t take long to set the phone up so it works quickly and logically, and while it’s not as customizable as Android, you can still make it your own.
Although we did encounter some bugs at launch, updates have refined iOS 15 since then and it runs mostly fault-free today. There are some odd problems though, but many will only be encountered in very specific situations. One enduring bug we face is when the Settings app crashes after connecting to a pair of AirPods, requiring the app to be manually closed twice before it works again. This aside, the seamless way iOS integrates with an Apple ecosystem of products — from the Mac Mini to the Apple TV and AirPods Max — is a massive benefit, and one that still can’t be matched for simplicity elsewhere.
