Every year, there is a new iPhone that comes out. It usually goes by number starting from the iPhone which is considered number one. This year, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini were released on September 24^th.  

Those who wanted to Pre-Order the new iPhone 13 were able to do so, on September 17^th at their local carrier store. 

You may be asking yourself, what is so special about the new iPhone 13? Well, it comes in new colors such as Red, Pink, Blue, Midnight, and Starlight. There is also a difference in the camera quality compared to other iPhones that were released in the previous years.

I sat down with Terrell Cook, Mister Senior at Delaware State University, to talk about his new iPhone 13, and he explained “I love my new iPhone, but the most important part is the camera quality because I like to take pictures.”  

I spoke to other students about their iPhone camera qualities to compare the new features of the iPhone 13 to previously released iPhones.  

“The quality of the camera just keeps getting better, I have the iPhone 12 and the camera quality is good, but you can see the quality of the iPhone 13 through a facetime call,” said Jordan Thomas, student at Norfolk State University.

Another updated feature is the battery life. The battery life on the iPhone 13 lasts longer than the battery life on any iPhone produced before 2021. “The longest that I’ve gone without charging my phone was 5 hours. That is exceptionally long compared to my iPhone 11 and 12. I always need to recharge my battery within 2 –3 hours.” said Samiyah Long, student at Morgan State University.  

The iPhone 13 is also water-resistant, meaning the iPhone will protect your phone from any water damage that may occur during usage. Older model iPhones do not have water-resistant protection.  

The engine of the iPhone 13, known as A15 Bionic, has also been updated to allow the iPhone 13 performance and functionality to be greater than the previous models. The other features present in the iPhone 13 include smaller notches, 5G and iOS 15 already installed.  

Thinking about purchasing the iPhone 13. Compare and contrast the new features of your iPhone to the newest model!
