One of the most frequently asked questions is: is it a good time to buy an iPhone? There’s a simple answer, of course: if you need a new mobile right now, go for it, I’m sure you’ll be happy with your purchase.
Otherwise, there’s a standard rule: Apple usually launches new iPhones in September, so you’ll need to make your purchase decision accordingly.
2021 was no exception. Apple launched the new iPhone 13 series on September 24 this year. So, we know what you’re thinking: is it a good time to buy an iPhone, or should you wait?
iPhone 13 price and specs
- Launch: September 2021
The iPhone 13 is available in four variants, just like the iPhone 12 was in 2020: iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
All four have a more powerful processor, the A15, brighter screens and a Material there Software improved camera.
The iPhone 13 Pro models go even further with new camera sensors, including an ultra-wide lens for great macro shots, as well as a 3x telephoto lens.
The Pro models also include a 120Hz ProMotion display and a different version of the A15 processor with five GPU cores instead of four.
They are better than the non-Pro models, but they are also a bit more expensive ($1,159/MXN 25,999 and $1,259/MXN 28,999 instead of $809/MXN 17,999 and $909/MXN 20,999 for standard models).
Why buy the iPhone 13?
The iPhone 13 is the best iPhone you can buy right now if you really need a new iPhone right now. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 mini might be the last iPhone mini to be released for quite some time.
Why wait to buy the iPhone 13?
This September 7, Apple will celebrate the event Far in which the new iPhone 14 should be launched. Four models are expected to arrive: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This means that the new iPhones will go on sale very soon. So you don’t want to pay the current price for an iPhone 13 when there’s a new model that will cost the same price in sight.
Verdict: WAIT
Now that the new iPhone 14s are just around the corner, it’s a very bad time to buy a new iPhone 13. Even if you don’t want to buy the iPhone 14, you’re sure to find the 2021 model on sale when the new will be on sale.
An exception could be the iPhone 13 mini. If you want a small iPhone, this is your best bet because it doesn’t look like there will be an iPhone 14 mini. Also, we don’t know how long Apple will have the iPhone 13 mini on sale.
