The debate over which iPhone is better, the 12 or 13, has been raging since the release of the 13 in late 2020. Both phones have their own strengths and weaknesses, but when it comes to performance, the 13 has a clear edge.
The A15 Bionic chip in the 13 is the latest and greatest from Apple, and it offers a modest performance improvement over the A14 Bionic in the 12. Benchmarks show that the A15 in the 13 offers around 10 percent better single-core performance and 18 percent better multi-core performance compared to the 12’s A14 chip.
In addition to the improved performance, the 13 also has a better camera system than the 12. The 13 has a triple-lens rear camera system with a 12MP ultra-wide lens, a 12MP wide lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens. The 12 only has a dual-lens system with a 12MP wide lens and a 12MP telephoto lens.
The 13 also has a better display than the 12. The 13 has a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2532 x 1170 and a peak brightness of 800 nits. The 12 has a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2436 x 1125 and a peak brightness of 625 nits.
Finally, the 13 has better battery life than the 12. The 13 has a battery capacity of 3,095 mAh, while the 12 has a battery capacity of 2,815 mAh.
So, which iPhone is better, the 12 or 13? The answer depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for the best performance, then the 13 is the clear winner. If you’re looking for the best camera system and display, then the 13 is also the better choice. And if you’re looking for the best battery life, then the 13 is the way to go.
