As you can see from the table above, the iPhone 13 offers an upgraded processor, larger battery, and more importantly, double the storage. If you are in two minds to make a choice between these two phones, here is what we think. The iPhone 12 is a good deal for those who want to start using an iPhone with regular size and not the SE variant. However, given the marginal gap in the price between the two as of today during the sale, the iPhone 13 offers a better value and more importantly, it has more storage, which is extremely important.
Unless you have a very tight budget and can’t afford an additional ~Rs 5,000, we recommend you to go with the iPhone 13 deal here as the sale price and offers are very good. In case, you are looking for Android alternatives, you can check out the OnePlus 11, iQOO 11, and Nothing Phone 2.
