As is usual after new iPhone announcements, the prior year’s model is now available at a discount. Straight from Apple, the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 13 starts at $699, and the 5.4-inch 13 Mini runs for $599. Both devices are $100 lower than before, making them cheaper than the new $799 iPhone 14 and $899 14 Plus while still delivering plenty of power.
Third-party retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are holding on to their old price tags as of this writing, but they’ll soon follow suit, and probably offer a better deal in some cases. If you’re willing to accept a little risk, meanwhile, a flood of used or refurbished iPhone 13s is about to hit sites like Amazon, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace as people upgrade. Eventually, Apple itself will start selling refurbished models, though I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were actively shopping for a phone.
If you want an iPhone 13 Pro or Pro Max, though, you’ll have to go with third parties. Apple has killed off new sales, perhaps understandably betting that if you’re considering a Pro, you have the money for the newer models.
