What difference does two years of iPhone iteration make? The iPhone 13 screen is a little bigger, the chip a little bit (15 to 20 percent) faster, the screen more resistant to damage. You’ll want to buy an iPhone 13 Pro if you want to retain a three-camera setup.

Thank you Jason. For the firs time in a decade, I’ve skipped an iPhone year and didn’t buy an iPhone 12. Based on consumers, not geeks, I’m not alone. Most people go 3 years between upgrades, some go 2 years and a very tiny amount of nerds buy a new phone every year. Six Colors is the only iPhone review I saw that mentioned the 11 to 13 differences. This is incredibly rare. Every time I saw a battery MaH comparison or a geek benchmark, the iPhone 11 was never mentioned. I think we should all push bloggers and reviewers to include at least 3 years of iPhones in their comparisons…not every tiny detail but at least Battery, Speed, Features even if it’s just a foot-note.
