iPhone 13 Pro pros, cons and verdict
Pros
- 120 Hz ProMotion screen: smoother scrolling and animation
- 3x telephoto camera for zoomed photos
- Still receives iOS updates
Cons
- Shorter battery life than most iPhones here: up to 22 hours of video playback
- Lightning port instead of USB-C
- Older A15 Bionic chip, several generations behind the newest iPhones
Our verdict. The iPhone 13 Pro suits people who want a telephoto camera and a smooth 120 Hz screen. Its strongest points are the 120 Hz ProMotion screen and the 3x telephoto camera. The trade-offs are shorter battery life (up to 22 hours of video) and the Lightning port. Apple has stopped selling it, so check the retailer's price and condition; the newer option is the iPhone 14 Pro.
