Apple announced its new iPhone lineup at its September event alongside the Apple Watch 7, iPad Mini 6 and updated entry-level iPad. The new flagship, named the iPhone 13, mirrors last year’s iPhone 12 collection with standard, Mini, Pro and Pro Max versions. The updated iPhone runs on iOS 15, which is now publicly available to install, and features a few camera upgrades, upped storage, a new A15 Bionic processor and more. (Here’s how you can get the iPhone 13 and how the iPhone 13 compares to the iPhone 13 Mini.)

The iPhone 13 models vary in a number of key ways. First of all, storage size: Not only is the iPhone 13’s starting storage impressive — the standard and Mini model are offered in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB options — but the Pro and Pro Max storage is downright huge. You can get one of the Pro models with a whopping 1TB of storage.
Although the iPhone 13 lineup mirrors the iPhone 12, Apple’s 2021 iPhones offer a slightly new design, updated cameras and feature upgrades for a similar price as 2020’s iPhone 12 models. Here’s everything to know.

Price: iPhone 13 line (mostly) matches the cost of its predecessor
The iPhone 13 lineup mostly mimics the pricing for the iPhone 12. Although Apple has since done away with the 64GB storage option for its standard and Mini options, the pricing of the iPhone 13 have stayed the same. The iPhone 13 Mini starts at $699 for 128GB of storage. The standard iPhone 13 starts at $799, the Pro starts at $999 and Pro Max at $1,0999.
The prices for the Pro versions are similar to other high-end smartphone models like the Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra, which cost $1,000 and $1,200, respectively.

The prices for the new iPhone increase as you go up in storage, especially since the iPhone features a 1TB storage option for the first time. The extra storage is only available on the Pro models and ups the price of an iPhone 13 Pro Max to $1,599.
Here are US prices for each of the iPhone 13 models:
