Should you buy the iPhone 13?

The iPhone 13 price on Amazon is lucrative for those looking to grab an iPhone that has 5G network support. However, it is worth taking into consideration that the iPhone 13 is over two years old and you get a substantial specs' upgrade with the latest iPhone 15, albeit at almost a Rs 20,000 premium.

The latest iPhone 15 bring a more modern-looking Dynamic Island design compared to the typical notch look we are used to seeing. The primary 12MP camera on the iPhone 13 is replaced with a larger 48MP unit and this results in better and sharper images in comparison. The new A16 processor in iPhone 15 can handle everything you throw at it, be it gaming or resource-intensive tasks. Most importantly, we get a USB Type-C port compared to the dated lighting port.

Besides, Android phones in the Rs 50,000 segment offer stronger specs. For example, there is the iQOO 12 5G, which comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. For those unaware, this is the latest chipset from Qualcomm and offers significant performance improvements. At Rs 64,999, we get the OnePlus 12, which again comes with the same 8-series chipset.

So, if you are ready to spend a premium of close to Rs 50,000, you are better off picking the latest and more premium flagships considering the upgrades in hardware and design.
