iPhone XR vs iPhone 13 Comparison

iPhone XR vs iPhone 13

The iPhone XR is still a very popular model among iPhone users. With many advantages and a very competitive price, it is a serious contender even against the newer iPhone 13. Find out more about them below, so you can make an informed choice.

iPhone 13, more performance

Released more recently, it makes sense that the iPhone 13 outperforms the iPhone XR. Battery life, for example, is nearly 7 hours better during daily use on the 13 compared to the XR.

On the component side, the iPhone 13 also remains in the lead. Its Retina display is more appealing than the LCD panel on the iPhone XR, and it has a larger storage capacity. The iPhone 13 starts at 128GB, compared to 64GB on the iPhone XR. The iPhone 13 also comes with 4GB of RAM, compared to just 3GB of RAM in the iPhone XR. The iPhone 13 is also the only one with 5G support.

iPhone XR, the more appealing price

With the older A12 Bionic chip (A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13), the XR is still quite reliable throughout daily use. It offers a lagless experience in everyday use and nearly 13 hours of battery life. The XR stands out especially in terms of price, since several hundred pounds separate these two smartphones. However, it offers a shorter lifespan, because with an A12 chip, it will probably not be able to sustain future Apple software updates for much longer. The iPhone 13, on the other hand, will still be upgradeable for at least another 5 years.

Looking for a smartphone with the best price/performance ratio? It's hard to beat the iPhone XR. Several hundred pounds cheaper and suitable for most people's needs. For demanding users who want the latest features, longer battery life, and longer compatibility with Apple's upcoming updates, it's best to go with the iPhone 13.
