The iPhone 13 was succeeded by the iPhone 14 in September but the two phones are pretty much the same. They have the same design and an identical 6.1 inches screen.
Even without the Photonic Engine, the iPhone 13 takes really great photos and can easily put some professional cameras to shame. The phone will be supported for at least five more years and the battery will carry you through the day.
Other than that, the iPhone 14 also has a better front-facing camera. In short, if you are prepared to pay $799 for marginal improvements, you should go for the iPhone 14 by all means.
But, if you want to spend your money sensibly, Woot has the refurbished iPhone 13 with minor wear and tear on sale for $549.99. This makes it $150 cheaper than a brand-new iPhone 13 and $249 more affordable than the iPhone 14.
Also, it’s easy to look down upon refurbished phones, but they are about as good as new and this one comes with a warranty. Apple’s phones don’t go on sale as often as Android phones and the deals usually come with a lot of strings attached.
