iPhone 13 or 12 Pro?

[OverDrive]

Hi all,

My girlfriend is about to upgrade her iPhone 7 with Vodafone and is considering the following on 36 month contracts. She is happy with Vodafone and also has her home broadband with them so would like to stay. They have offered her:

1. iPhone 13 128GB for £40/month, £29 up front (£3 discount - usually £43 month)
Advantages: Newer processor, longer battery life, cinematic mode

2. iPhone 12 Pro 128GB for £43/month, £19 up front (no discount offered)
Advantages: telephoto lens, LiDAR

Am I missing anything? From what I can see the OLED panel specs are identical. I can see that the camera specs are slightly different (aperture etc).

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Oh of course, I forgot about the sensor shift stabilisation.

I agree, the 13 sounds like the better option here.

Thank you

Electronic devices shouldn't break within three years and it's wrong to expect they will.

My girlfriend has had her iPhone 7 for over 4yrs now and it's still working perfectly, although the 32GB storage is no longer viable and is actually the main reason why she wants to upgrade.

I mean from the high risk of dropping a mobile phone and breaking the screen & rear glass and to replace the screen on OLED phones is normally very expensive

Yes, the repair costs are very high now - I would not want to be without insurance cover of some sort be it AppleCare+, via a bank or home insurance policy.
