3 reasons to go (or not) from iPhone 12 to 13

Reasons it may be worth the jump

For some they will be more important and for others less, but there are three new functionalities of the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro that, in some cases, could be decisive to change even having a device from the previous generation.

  • ProMotion screen: One of the great changes from the iPhone 12 Pro to the 13 Pro is that now the panels have a refresh rate of 120 Hz that adapts to the moment and circumstance. Although, yes, it will not be something appreciable if the jump is to the iPhone 13 or 13 mini, since these continue with 60 Hz panels.
  • Macro mode: This is another novelty of the iPhone 13 Pro models and that do not have the ’13’ and ’13 mini ‘, but that could justify leaving aside any of the’ 12 ‘. Being able to take pictures of tiny elements by bringing the lenses a few centimeters closer allows to obtain amazing results that are very different from those obtained with previous models.

  • Cinema mode: Being able to make videos with a bokeh effect is already a reality in the four new iPhones, unlike the previous models that do not have it available as standard. For creators of video content, this is a very tempting feature because it adds a higher degree of professionalism to the video that, saving the distance, can replace a professional camera on many occasions.

Think about this before changing your iPhone

On the other link of the scale we find many reasons not to change iPhone, these being probably the most important:

  • Design: Beyond the increase in lenses or reduction of notch, there are few changes in the design of the devices. Therefore, the sensation of change will be less aggressive and in a way you will notice that you continue with the same device in hand.
  • Performance: It is true that the A15 of the iPhone 13 is a more advanced chip than the A14 of the ’12’, but in real life it is not something that is noticed in excess. Both are capable of executing all kinds of tasks without getting messy and in practically identical times.

  • Price: Yes, the iPhone 13 are worth the same as what you paid for the ’12’ in their day, but in the end it means a new outlay that is probably not a minor issue for your pocket. Therefore, if the changes introduced are not fundamental for you, perhaps saving that money for a future generation is a better option.

In short, and by way of conclusion, from La Manzana Bite, we only recommend making a change if the value of the new features of the iPhone 13 really stand out for you to the point that they will mean a change in the way you work or use the iPhone. Whether it is for any of the novelties highlighted here or not, it can be a sensible purchase. Now, if that change in your use is going to mean something minor or you are simply attracted by the fact of being a novelty, you should know that in the end this feeling is ephemeral and you could end up regretting the outlay made.
