Is the iPhone 13 Pro still worth buying in [year]?

Yes, the iPhone 13 Pro is worth buying in 2026. It runs iOS 26, is powered by the A15 Bionic chip, and features a ProMotion 120Hz OLED display alongside a triple 12MP camera with macro photography and ProRes video — features that still stand out at this price. Starting from £279 refurbished on Back Market, it delivers flagship-level performance at a fraction of the cost of a new device. Not sure which model suits you? Find the right iPhone for you.

Does the iPhone 13 Pro have a 120Hz display?

Yes, the iPhone 13 Pro has a ProMotion display with an adaptive refresh rate from 10Hz up to 120Hz. This was the first time ProMotion appeared on any iPhone, debuting simultaneously on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021. Neither the 12 Pro nor 12 Pro Max had it. The adaptive rate drops to 10Hz for static content, which helps preserve battery life alongside a larger screen.

Is the iPhone 13 Pro camera still good in [year]?

The iPhone 13 Pro camera is still highly capable in 2026. Its triple 12MP system includes macro photography via the ultrawide lens, a 3x optical zoom telephoto, and ProRes video up to 4K at 30fps. LiDAR enables Night mode portraits, and Cinematic Mode gives your videos a shallow depth-of-field look. At its price point, the rear camera holds up very well for most everyday and creative use. See our guide to the best iPhone for photos to compare across the range.

What is the difference between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro?

The main differences between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro come down to a few specific upgrades: Dynamic Island: The 14 Pro replaced the notch with Dynamic Island. The 13 Pro keeps the traditional notch. Always-On display: Available on the 14 Pro only. Main camera: 48MP on the 14 Pro vs 12MP on the 13 Pro. Both have triple-camera systems. Chip: A16 Bionic (14 Pro) vs A15 Bionic (13 Pro). The performance gap is minimal for everyday use. Shared features: Both have ProMotion 120Hz OLED, Face ID, 5G, and IP68 water resistance. Price: The 13 Pro starts from £279 refurbished, making it the stronger value buy.

What is the difference between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max?

The choice between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max is purely about size and battery, not performance or cameras. Feature iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max Screen size 6.1 inches 6.7 inches Weight 204g 240g Chip A15 Bionic A15 Bionic Camera system Triple 12MP, ProMotion 120Hz Triple 12MP, ProMotion 120Hz Battery Up to 22 hours video Up to 28 hours video Best for One-handed use, compact carry Bigger screen, longer battery life

Does the iPhone 13 Pro support iOS 26?

Yes, the iPhone 13 Pro is fully compatible with iOS 26, Apple's current operating system as of 2026. Launched in September 2021, it has now received five years of software updates. Software support is expected to continue into 2027 to 2028, in line with Apple's typical 6 to 7-year update cycle. Buying refurbished makes no difference: iOS eligibility is tied to the hardware model, not where you bought it.

I purchased an iPhone 13 Pro in “excellent” condition and I’m genuinely very impressed. The phone looks like new – there are no scratches, signs of wear, or any damage at all. The screen is in perfect condition, completely free from marks, and the body looks flawless. I am very happy

I received my used iPhone 13 Pro very quickly after ordering. Less than 24 hours! Although the phone had an error message on it the Back Market team very quickly explained about the warning and assured me it wouldn’t always show. This is the second time I have bought refurbished goods from BM and will definitely use again as the service is second to none. Excellent

I recently bought an iPhone 13 Pro from Back Market listed in “fair” condition, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The phone arrived in better shape than expected. While it was graded as fair, it actually looked closer to good condition. There were no prominent scratches, and although there were some light marks on the screen, they were only noticeable under certain lighting and didn’t affect everyday use at all. In terms of performance, the phone works perfectly. It’s fast, responsive, and handles everything smoothly—from browsing and apps to gaming and multitasking. The camera quality is excellent, as you’d expect, and the battery life has been reliable throughout the day. Overall, I feel like I got great value for money. Back Market delivered a device that exceeded my expectations for a “fair” condition rating. If you’re considering a refurbished phone and don’t mind very minor cosmetic imperfections, this is definitely a worthwhile option.
