The high-end phone is now budget friendly: The iPhone 13 selling at Rs 38,000, makes it a budget phone. The discount offers a significant saving. If you are looking for a high quality smartphone at a more accessible price, this could be a great deal.

The iPhone 13 is powered by the A15 Bionic chip, which is still very capable, handling everyday tasks, gaming, and even demanding applications like video editing with ease. The chip remains competitive with many newer smartphones. This makes it an attractive option for those looking for a high-quality iPhone without paying the price for the latest model.

Software Updates: Apple provides long-term software support for its devices. The iPhone 13 is expected to receive iOS updates for several more years, ensuring access to the latest features, security updates, and improvements. For instance, the device is eligible to download iOS 18 and experience all its latest features. Hence, even though the newer models have entered the market, the iPhone 13 still remains relevant.

Excellent camera system: The iPhone 13's dual-camera system, with advanced computational photography features like Night Mode, Smart HDR 4, and Photographic Styles, continues to deliver high-quality photos and videos. While newer models may have additional camera features, the iPhone 13's camera remains very strong.

The launch of iPhone 16 makes the iPhone 13 a little dated. Since the release in 2021, Apple has launched 3 more iPhones, with the latest being iPhone 16. Buying an older model means you’ll get fewer years of software updates compared to a newer model. This might make the iPhone 13 feel outdated sooner, especially as new features and applications are developed that take advantage of the latest hardware.

Additionally, the iPhone 13 does not offer any groundbreaking new features compared to its successors. If you’re someone who values the latest technology, innovations in camera systems, or processing power, the iPhone 13 might feel like a compromise.
