iPhone 13 in 2024 - worth it? (Review) 

The iPhone 13 & 13 mini are both fantastic iPhones in my eyes, and hold up really well even almost 3 years later- for the most part, at least. Any of you using the iPhone 13 right now? How's it working for you? Do you think it's still worth it in 2024?

The iPhone 13 was peak Apple in my opinion. The 13 series seems to be aging like fine wine. I believe it’ll be praised in the same way the iPhone 4s is praised.

The best iPhone ever, Apple got everything right with the iPhone 13, it’s definitely still worth a value in 2024.

Apple hates when you keep old phones. Screw them. The 13 is good

Bought a refurbished 13 mini last fall. I can say with absolute certainty that it's my favorite iPhone that I've ever used!!

Love my 13. Had it since January 2022. Currently at 88% battery health after well over 500 cycles. I’ll get a new battery next year and keep till software support ends

Great info as always, thanks Josh!

Thanks for the video

13 pro max owner here since one week after its release and got to say that it’s probably one of if not the best iPhone that Apple has ever released! The display, battery, refresh rate and chipset are by far the best I’ve ever had the privilege of using. If you’re looking to upgrade your iPhone and want to get a high speed one that doesn’t break the bank, PLEASE look at the iPhone 13 line up, it won’t disappoint!

This is the video I was looking for

The iPhone 13 is worth it in 2024 because it’s still getting updates

I have my 13 mini for about 2 years now, and won’t be upgrading until this phone dies. It is holding up so great, honestly, I’ve never had the feeling the phone was slowing down or anything. I mostly use my phone for messaging, calling and checking socials and sometimes play some games. If you want a smaller phone I would definitely still recommend this phone.

The iPhone 13 holds up so well! Also love the use of Persona music in the video. Cheers!

I have a product red 13 mini as my iPod replacement at my job and i love it. I had a full sized blue 13 that I gave to my dad once i (sadly) upgraded to the 14 Pro Max, its still the phone i recommend to all my family and friends. Great battery life, great cameras and a great deal overall 👍

I love my IPhone 13 (purchased in April 2022, starlight, 128 GB), and I will keep it until 2028..! It’s ALL that you really need..good cameras, good battery, durable..! You don’t need satellite connectivity nor crash detection in your IPhones! Don’t go too far in “cell range” or take a Garmin hand beacon in case of being lost and as for, crash detection, ALL cars have that today! Don’t forget that the more electronics in your phone, the more can go wrong! You should ❤️❤️ your IPhone 13, as it is known as one of the best ever made!

I upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini back in January, and I absolutely love it. I know it gets a lot of love on this platform, and I was hoping Apple would recycle its form factor for the new SE. As I’m not a fan of full cases, I use my Product Red 13 Mini with a bumper, MagSafe grip and wrist strap. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for the content.

The blocky design is my all time favorite, I’ve had an iPhone since my 5s.. I was so mad when they went away from the blocky design and glad they went back

I used my iphone6 plus for 6yrs and this week I will gt my new iphone 13 soo excited

Just bought a refurbished after I load my mini 12 and this video helps out

You are phenomenal ❤ A great reviewer and your voice is beautiful 😊

I was between the 13 and the 14, ended up picking the 13 because of the 100$ price difference, I don't regret it one bit, basically same processor, and with a better battery.

Got my pink iPhone 13 in January 2024 and it’s a great smartphone super quick and takes great pictures even low light 😊

I’m using the 13, it’s 2024, so yes! I like mine a lot and I hope it’ll work for another one or two years.

I hunted down and purchased a 13 mini brand new discounted at a local tech store as I’m not a fan of bigger phones. I bought it earlier this year. I enjoy music more than social media and all that i feel are distractions. I do love the mini but I just recently noticed that the battery health status has dropped to 99 percent health already 😢

Just bought the 13 mini last month. Love it so far. (Came from a 12 mini. I know kind of a pointless switch, but with no more mini coming up I had no choice when getting a new phone and I want to use it as long as possible)

Love your videos ❤ I have the iPhone 13 and the 13 mini the red ones❤ I also have the 15 Pro and the 15+ I just went back to my iPhone 13 today. I love my red.

I have bought several phones from Amazon renewed they have been great and you have 365 days to return. I love your videos. ❤ I have the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini I love these phones.

I’ve been using Iphone 13 mini since 2022 and it is still amazing today

I upgraded to a 13 from a XR this past summer. My mobile plan said I was due for an upgrade and this was the cheapest one. No regrets.

Currently using my 13 that i got about 6 months after launch. Quite honestly, minus a couple infrequent hiccups, it’s still a fast as the day i got it. So far, it’s the best phone i’ve ever owned.

Love the PERSONA 5 Soundtrack in the BACK!!

I went from an iPhone 12 mini to the 13 mini a little over two years ago. It’s been a great phone and a LOT better with heat management and battery life. My battery health is now at 88%. It’s noticeably not as strong as before, but still a great phone that I will likely have for at least another year or so! Truly hope the mini returns.

Every time I feel the need to upgrade my 13, I watch a video like this and I'm fine :)

Switched from iPhone SE 2nd gen to 13 mini earlier this year. The only thing I miss from the SE is Touch ID.

I still have my 13, still works great

W Video bro

using iphone 13 since july 2022 and this phone is unbreakable. i dropped it many times on different surfaces (in case tho) but glass on both sides is pristine. none of my phones before (iphone 4s, iphone 7 plus and several androids in between) had this superpower. the design was improved so much, i forgot how the phone model can have its signature deceases (like faulty wifi antenna in iphone 4s and boot loop in iphone 7) (all tech specs are on the second place for me hhh) cameras are great, screen is great, charging is fast, the phone is fast itself

Love my 13 mini.. still rocking 95% battery health! Best phone I ever used for personal use.

Just got an IPhone 13 a few days ago. Such a lovely sleek and high performing phone. My friends told me after 13 series, IPhones aren’t upgrading exponentially to justify the price of a 15. Happy with my purchase.

I have an iPhone 8 and have just bought the iPhone 13. Very excited to try it out!

I’ve had the iPhone 11 for years ( never had a problem just broke the screen and the touch sensor) but I ended up getting the iPhone 13 the other day still don’t know what’s new about it but I sure am loving it

My 13 pro was probably one of the best iPhones I’ve ever owned… the battery in that phone was phenomenal, over 2 years and battery health was only at 89% and that was with heavy use during those 2 years.. I have a 15 pro now but I do reminisce about my 13 pro, it was just a great piece of phone

Had to switch from 12 mini just bc of the battery life, got the 13 and never had to worry bout the reliability of my handheld ever since. Simply love this one. ;)

I love my 13 mini fits in my pocket very well pics looks great and so far i have droped it about 6 times and nothing is wrong. even the paint is unflawed.

Yes it is. Mine’s been doing well as my daily phone for personal and work usage. Fits right in my hands. And if I need to take a pic or vid, it does the job well.

I have the white iPhone 13 I bought back in January of 2024. It’s a great phone. It’s cheaper, still looks like it was released yesterday. And best off, it has a SIM card slot. Honestly that’s the only reason I bought the 13. If the 15 pro had a SIM card tray, I would have definitely bought it. But my carrier doesn’t support it

I just got the 13 two days ago after using android for 10 years. I was worried about 60hz screen bcs my previous phone got 120hz but I personally don’t notice any difference unless it was side by side comparison.

got an iPhone 13, upgrade from my iPhone 6s 🙏🏽 the battery life is amazing

I have a 13 and love it still after 3 years. It’s a solid phone!

I am using the iPhone 13 nearly 2 years and it’s still working great

I bought the 13 back in September of 2023 (same time the 15 lineup came out) and to this day it still runs very well. The A15 chip still holds up in 2024 and I haven’t had any problems with battery and performance. The notch never really bothered me and I honestly think it’s look much cleaner with it being small. My only problem is that it doesn’t have a ProMotion display but none of the base models do to begin with. Still a great mid-range phone that’s worth it in 2024

I bought one brand new half a year ago. It’s got headroom for years performance wise but somehow, with very light use and low brightness, it fell all the way down to 75% BH

Was using 12mini from 2020 upto 2022, which is when I upgraded to 13mini. Love it. The battery health is down to 85%, once it reaches 82% will get a new battery and stick with the phone till when I can. Its just so easy to carry. Put in your pockets and just forget its even there; even while sitting you dont need to remove it from your pocket.

I got my 13 a week ago and I’m very satisfied with the battery and performance

My buddy upgraded to a 13 from a XR. Originally i recommended a 14 just cause it was newer and might get a year more in software support but the 13 is actually very nice. It has good battery life a great camera and it’s still so fast.

I am Using iPhone 13 for almost 1 year and it’s safe to say it was a great purchase! The 14 is basically the same, the only reason why would I pick 14 over 13 is better reliability. The back-glass is removable so it is much much cheaper to replace it.

Bought a 13 mini not to long ago but I had to find and purchase the magsafe battery case which are kinda hard to find. This combo lasts way longer than my late 12 Pro Max.

My student's XR is holding up so good in 2024, I think my 13 will be fine in the next years.

Considering now I have galaxy a53 is it better to switch to ip13 or pixel 8a?

I'm still on an iPhone XR and haven't changed my battery yet. Certain AI features and location services cause my phone to lag out now. But after disabling most it still works quite well. So I could see iPhone 13 easily lasting another 3 years.

Found a OtterBox in a parking lot. Glad it worked for 15. Also took out a power button from a 13 case.

my mum got a brand new green 128gb ip13 a month ago and it is flawless (minus the display and expensive repairs)

Using it and it's just awesome.

Hello, I admire you and I’m following you since a long time on my other account and I currently have a dilemma : I bought the iPhone 15 Pro changed it for the same one as the battery couldn’t even last a day ( for only Instagram and WhatsApp stuff ) at the end I’ve decided to give it back to Apple so I have a gift card with a value that can offer me a new IPhone. I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro Max but the battery can’t last so long, what would you do, invest on a new battery and case for around 150$ and wait for the 17 pro or even 18 pro. Or wait for the 16 pro ? Thanks

I got my iPhone 13 when it come out and me personally I absolutely love it! I have had it since January 2022 and I plan to get another brand new iPhone 13 it’s just what I need

Might get one renewed from amazon, im getting it delivered tomorrow ty for your help.

I used my iPhone 8 256 gb since Oct 2020 until it broke on March 2024. My mom was going to buy me the 15 and told me not to to worry about the budget cuz she wanted me to not have problems about secondhand phones anymore. But after hearing recommendations from my auntie, they decided to just go for the 13 since they told me it was revolutionary. I didn’t believe at first but I was happy with any phone as long as it was brand new (I’ve always got secondhand phones which gave me a lot of problems. Even the iPhone 11 was good enough for me as long as it was brand new.) I got the 13 on April 11, 2024. The battery life is AMAZING. The change from the 8 to the 13 was so new to me. I love it! I’m planning to keep this phone until I graduate on 2027. It’s just enough to receive updates until that year. Also, I really saw how many people praised the iPhone 13 and I loved it even more. 😂

iPhone 11 pro still riding till the wheels fall off. 12 or 13 mini (or whatever remains/becomes jailbreakable) will be next when that day comes. I must admit the ear speaker, mute switch and volume up button have gone out, but considering I break everything I own, its doing great. It's not jailbroken anymore :/

I'm looking at getting the 13. I have the XR but the batteries starting to run down and I could buy a replacement on Amazon cuz I'm not going through Apple, but I don't know how long that would hold up

I have one ( and an android) the 13 is a great phone. I’ve had mine over a year and the battery is still 100% ( well it says that in battery management) only drawback was it experienced the rainbow screen of death just before its one year warranty expired. Apple fitted me a new screen for free

iPhone 13 is my First iPhone. I shifted from android with 120Hz to iPhone 13 but it's unnoticeable I also love the ios software. I didn't regret buying this iPhone and it's my first ever iPhone

will it still have ios 18 and the future ios updates

what's up with persona 5 soundtrack in videos lately

I’ve got a 13 and love it

Is it just me or do the photos in the 13 look better than the 15 in the comparison shots?

Ive never had an iphone, my family has always bought me a samsung, i thought iphones were crazy expensive but i see that they are cheap and affordable, so im getting an iphone 13

I’m debating whether to get my iPhone 13 battery replaced or upgrade to the iPhone 16 when it comes out.

I’ll be keeping my 13 mini for quite a while as there’s no way to upgrade it to another mini so the size is really nice and if you have an iPad at home, you just switch to your iPad when you get home

My 13 Pro has been holding up pretty well but man the battery health is going down faster than expected. I’m at 83% for now but the moment it goes to 75% I’ll probably switch it out ( I am a delivery driver so having a longer battery life is essential ) other than that though it’s been pretty well at whatever I need it for. Definitely recommend it as a backup or vacation phone.

My Xr still works perfectly fine

Upgraded from 12 pro max from launch date to 13 mini late last year in 23 definitely worth it if it what you want a good overall phone

Im going from an xr to a 13 finely upgrading 😮‍💨

Great review! How many more years of software uodates do you expect the 13 to get?

The iPhone 13 series was the last iPhone that had a physical Sim card. That’s why I kept mine.

I have a 11 but play on updating to this just waiting until September so the price can drop when that 16 come up

would you do the iphone 12 in 2024 how it holds up

Been using the 13 Pro Max since day 1. I love it and its great but my next phone will be a normal iPhone. I realized I dont use my phone that often that I need a fantastic camera, fast CPU and normally use it to listen to music, watch some movies, Netflix and YT. I will probably miss the 120Hz display but I just dont need a Pro model.

my grandpa got me a green one today i’m so happy! upgraded from my iphone 6s which i’ve have since 2019

I think there are two best small smartphones out there- 13 Mini and the Asus Zen Phone (want to say the newest was larger but the 2 seemed really solid for the size)

has anyone else switched from any 120hz android to base model iphones with 60hz? is it bothering or you get used to it quickly? i cant afford a pro/max.

as long as the battery is good most iphones past the 12 are absolutely worth it because most applications never take advantage of the processing power in newer phones for it to be worth getting over slightly older phones.

Can you do a video iPhone 14 Plus if it’s worth it. Thank you.

Can you do pro max version 11 to 13 ?

Love my iPhone 13 Pro Max.Still going strong ,even better with iOS 17.5. Update.Wouldn’t change it for the 14 or 15.Best of all we have support for iPhone 13 until 2028-2030. 😁👍

is the iphone 12 pro used with 92% battery health and in perfect condition worth it for 360 bucks?

I’ve been using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Gave it a new battery this year. Glad I did. Getting that amazing battery life again and the phone screen barely dims out anymore. This phone is a massive keeper. Keeping it till the end of software support

13 mini is the best 🤩, using it right now …. But unfortunately going to upgrade to 16 pro… worried about size 😢😢😢

I went from the iPhone SE 2nd Gen to the iPhone 14 last year. No complaints here. I probably would have went with the iPhone 13, but the 14 also has the Satellite SOS connectivity and automatic crash detection which is important for me since I travel a lot.

Here in the UK you can still get the iPhone 12 on the Apple refurbished store for £419 (the iPhone 13 is £599 new or £509 refurbished). I'm sure a new 13 is better than a refurbished 12 - you get double the storage for a start - but I doubt it's going to be £180 better.

I still have the iPhone 13 Pro and it's still going strong and also own the iPhone 11 still great devices in 2024
