Apple’s
iPhone 13 lineup
is off to a strong start. Preorders pushed back delivery dates for the
iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max
until late October, early November. While the standard
iPhone 13 and 13 Mini
are currently back-ordered until mid-October.
Don’t fret if you haven’t ordered an iPhone 13 yet. Those lead times are directly from Apple’s website, not Apple’s retail stores, wireless carriers or retailers — all of which will receive their own shipments now that the iPhone 13 has officially launched.
As a refresher, the iPhone 13 lineup doesn’t have a drastic new look, but the notch at the top of the screen is a little smaller, and there are camera upgrades for all four models, including a new Cinematic Video mode that’s impressive (and fun).
Below you’ll find all of the places you can order any of the iPhone 13 models, as well as the current promotions being offered. With enough searching, you should be able to find an iPhone 13 earlier than the currently estimated ship dates.
Right now! The iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max officially launched on Friday, Sept. 24. However, shipping dates through Apple’s web store for the various models have slipped into the middle of October, or early November, depending on the model.
As usual, Apple is offering several different colors of the iPhone 13. The colors will depend on whether you’re buying a standard iPhone 13 or an iPhone 13 Pro model. Here’s how it breaks down:
iPhone 13 Mini and iPhone 13: Pink, Blue, Midnight, Starlight and (Product)RED
iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: Sierra blue, Silver, Gold, Graphite
For the first time, Apple’s iPhone line will start with 128GB of base storage. The Pro models, however, gain an extra level of storage maxing out at 1TB. Here’s how it breaks down:
iPhone 13 Mini and iPhone 13: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB
iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB
The price is based on how much storage you need. Here’s how it breaks down:
