Being an MP has its advantages. In addition to a good salary, you have good work tools, like the iPhone 8 that all members of the Spanish Congress of Deputies.
And it was this same Spanish Congress that decided that it was time to renew these phones after five years. An Official State Gazette detailed the specs the new phone will need and oh…what a coincidence. These are just the specs of an iPhone 13 Pro.
I tell you nothing but I tell you everything
Here are the specifications required by the document, also reproduced by our colleagues from Xataka:
Latest generation device available from the manufacturer, equipped with a charger with the corresponding connection cable and wired headphones, both original, as well as a transparent protective shell and with the following characteristics:
- High-end terminal.
- IOS 15 or higher operating system.
- Capacity: 512 GB.
- Pantalla super retina XD.
- 6.06-inch OLED display (minimum 6.1 inches and maximum 6.3 inches of full rectangle).
- 2532 x 1170 pixel resolution at 460 w/w.
- Brightness of 1000 nits (typically 1200 in HDR).
- Oleophobic anti-fingerprint cover.
- Degree of protection IP68, in accordance with standard IEC 60529.
- A15 Bionic chip.
- 5 core GPU.
- 12 MP dual camera with wide angle and ultra wide angle.
- 6x optical zoom range.
- Capture of HEIF and JPEG images.
- Video recording in 4K up to 60 f/s.
- face recognition.
- LIDAR scanner.
- Network connectivity: 5G, FDD-LTE, TD-LTE, UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA and GSM/EDGE.
- 802.11ax Wi-Fi.

In the second point it is already clear to us that it must be a high-end mobile, and in the second we are already confirmed that it must be an iPhone because it must run iOS 15 or higher. The screen must be an OLED between 6.1 and 6.3 inches, the chip must be an A15 Bionic chip and it must have a 5-core GPU… You don’t have to continue, do you? They’re not exactly looking for a Huawei. No Huawei is able to take pictures in HEIF.
It might have been more productive to say outright that units of the iPhone 13 Pro will be purchased for all members of Congress. They will be a total of 550 for around 637,450 dollars, although the cost will increase further due to maintenance and insurance costs.
And of course, what about the day that was chosen to ask this: we are launching the iPhone 14. In the House of Representatives, he had a very, very bad goal. and it shows that they don’t read Applesfera: you can’t buy an iPhone at the beginning of September because the new models are usually presented on these dates. Hopefully new additional specs don’t suddenly appear like the need to have a Dynamic Island for example.
