2. iPhone 13 series
There are four models in the iPhone 13 series, namely the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
At present, in addition to the iPhone 13 mini, the cost performance of the iPhone 13 series is not very high, because compared with the iPhone 12 Pro, the image ability of the iPhone 13 is weak at the same price; Compared with the iPhone 13 Pro, the iPhone 14/Plus is undoubtedly more suitable as a new machine at a lower price.
3. iPhone 14 series
This year, the iPhone 14 series was launched, eliminating the mini and adding the Plus, with the following models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Compared to the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 14 is not a big upgrade, but the good news is that the price is not too expensive. As a new member of the Plus series to join the iPhone family, the iPhone 14 Plus will lower the previous expensive large-screen iPhone to the price of six or seven thousand, which is quite competitive.
That's a rough look at the iPhone 12, 13 and 14 models. The background color of the mobile phone is a communication tool, so let's talk about its communication function first. First of all, to be clear, these are all 5G phones, and with the exception of the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone SE, all of them support dual SIM.
To buy an Apple mobile phone, in addition to considering the latest models, many users will choose previous generations of models or even second-hand mobile phones, so that the price is much lower. If the budget is extremely sufficient, or there are some special needs such as small screens, images, etc., you can refer to the table below to choose.
4.Small screen enthusiasts how to choose iPhone?
From this year, Apple cut the mini series and added the iPhone 14 Plus with a larger screen to replace it, it can be seen that the development trend of smart phones to large screens is very obvious.
Indeed, the large screen brings better use and audiovisual experience, which has become the reason for most people to choose large screen mobile phones. However, there are still a small number of people still insist on choosing the "exquisite small screen", mainly because the small screen brings a better grip.
If you want to buy a small screen/standby iPhone, Apple's main options today are the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone SE. A special note is that both phones only support single SIM, and if you want to use dual SIM, you can only choose another iPhone.
Since the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini are similar in configuration, the main difference is that the 12 mini uses the A14 chip, while the 13 mini uses the A15 chip.
The two configurations are the same: both are equipped with A15 bionic chips, the main camera is 12 million pixels, the cellular network and wireless connection are the same, and both support NFC, which can be used to take the bus and subway.
In addition to this, the 13 mini and SE are very different in other configurations. First look at the appearance, relatively speaking, the iPhone 13 mini has a richer color choice, and the screen display area is also larger.
The iPhone 13 mini is equipped with a 5.4-inch super Retina XDR display, while the iPhone SE is equipped with a 4.7-inch retina HD display, the 13 mini uses an OLED full screen, and the SE is currently a relatively rare LCD screen. That should be a big draw.
In terms of image, although the main lens of both is 12 million pixels, the 13 mini also has an extra wide-angle lens, and the main aperture is larger, support 2x optical zoom, night mode and movie effect mode. Clearly, the iPhone 13 mini is superior in terms of image performance.
In terms of performance, because they are equipped with the same chip, it is similar
.
However, Apple officially tested that the 13 mini's video playback life can be up to 17 hours, 2 hours more than the SE. In addition, the 13 mini supports both MagSafe wireless charging and Qi wireless charging, while the SE only supports Qi wireless charging. In terms of unlocking, the SE still uses the traditional Touch ID, while the 13 mini uses the latest Face ID.
Support for features such as Dolby Panorama, Dolby Vision HDR, 4K video shooting, and audio zoom are available on the mini and not on the SE. Also, the mini is better waterproof and lighter.
