New Apple products don’t always show higher specs. For example, the cameras on some Android flagships show a resolution almost 10 times higher than the sensors on the cameras in the iPhone. Nevertheless, in terms of the quality of the images, they turn out to be approximately equal.

As you can see, in some aspects, the new iPhones lose to competitors. In particular, they are clearly lagging behind in display resolution, and smaller models also lag behind in their refresh rate. The fact that Apple still refuses to switch from Lightning to universal USB Type-C can also be attributed to the disadvantages. On the other hand, Apple is the only one offering flagship smartphones with 1TB storage, which for some will be a very important option.

It is noteworthy that the iPhone 13 series has not changed much in size – except that they have become a little thicker and added in weight. However, this can be explained by a number of innovations.
