Is it time to grab the iPhone 13 or should you hold out a bit longer for the iPhone 2022?

The first advantage to highlight is that the iPhone 13 features the Apple A15 Bionic chip manufactured on the latest 5 nm process, thus boasting immensely powerful performance and easily securing top positions among the most powerful smartphones at present.

In addition to its powerful chip, the device is equipped with 6 GB of RAM and runs on the renowned iOS platform, known for its stability, smoothness, user-friendly interface, and extensive long-term support.

With such formidable specifications and quality, this iPhone 13 handles every task you throw at it, from light to heavy, effortlessly.

2. Camera Quality of iPhone 13 Still Tops the Charts Today

This year's iPhone 13 still boasts a dual-camera setup positioned diagonally, unlike its predecessors, with a familiar 12 MP resolution.

At first glance, this year's camera might not seem significantly different. But no, the camera system on the iPhone 13 has been equipped with numerous features and algorithms for enhanced professional-grade photography capabilities.

The biggest improvement in the camera for iPhone 13 is the larger sensor size. This will enable the camera to capture more light, delivering the brightest and most detailed photos.

And I firmly believe that when you hold the iPhone 13 in your hand, you'll easily capture photos and frames with quality on par with a professional camera.

3. Wider Display Thanks to the Shrunken Notch

It's known that iPhone 13 continues the tradition of its predecessor by featuring an OLED display with Super Retina XDR technology, delivering vivid colors, sharp details, wide viewing angles, and high brightness, making it easy to observe content even in bright sunlight.

With a 6.1-inch screen on the iPhone 13, I think it's just right for a comfortable and compact experience when held in hand, neither too small nor too large. The notch on this year's iPhone is wider, while the notch has shrunk, giving us an even better viewing angle at the top edge.

In addition, the iOS platform and all current applications have been well optimized for the iPhone screen, so the iPhone 13 has a screen that's just right for use, whether browsing the web, playing games, or messaging, it's all quite comfortable.

4. Battery Capacity is Beefier than its Predecessor

This year, the iPhone 13 has been upgraded to a 3,240 mAh battery, slightly higher than the iPhone 12's 2,815 mAh battery last year.

So how does the iPhone 13's battery life with a 3,240 mAh battery actually perform? Let's take a look at the review conducted by the 24h Technology team.

With just a 3,240 mAh battery, the iPhone 13 still provides an extremely good usage time of 10 hours and 46 minutes. It must be acknowledged that Apple has optimized the iPhone 13 battery very well, both individually and for the iPhone 13 Series as a whole.

However, the iPhone 2022 is even expected to receive more worthwhile upgrades!

1. Anticipating a Screen with a New Design, Possibly Without the 'Notch' in the Future

At present, when comparing the iPhone 13 and iPhone 2022, although the iPhone 13 has a smaller 'notch' than its predecessors. However, most users hope that Apple will either shrink the notch further or entirely remove it to maximize the display area on the front.

If that's the case, it will allow users to enjoy perfect entertainment experiences on the uninterrupted Retina display. It would be even better if the iPhone 2022 is equipped with a refresh rate display with a 120 Hz refresh rate instead of the current 60 Hz on the iPhone 13.

With such a hypothesis, Apple would need to equip the selfie camera and sensors under the display, similar to what Samsung did with the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Are you looking forward to this becoming a reality? Let's await these features in the latest iPhone version of 2022.

2. Anticipating the Return of the Divine Touch ID

Although Face ID technology has been quite convenient, with the frequent wearing of masks at the present time, Face ID sometimes may not be suitable. At this point, the Touch ID security system would be the most ideal solution.

This is also something that the majority of users are hoping for Apple to bring back Touch ID on the iPhone 2022 generation. And there have been rumors suggesting that Apple will reintroduce Touch ID on flagship iPhones using under-screen fingerprint scanning technology.

This was revealed by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg back in July, Apple has 'been testing in-screen fingerprint scanners for this year's devices'. However, it seems like this feature is still not ready to appear on the iPhone 13.

Regardless, the return of Touch ID at this time is something that many people are eagerly awaiting, including myself!

3. iPhone 14 Performance is 'No Average Joe' with a 4nm Chipset

According to sources from Gizmochina, the iPhone 2022 lineup may not be equipped with the 3nm processor produced by TSMC but rather with a 4nm chipset. This is because TSMC is facing delays in production.

So it means that the iPhone 2022 lineup might not get the new chipset (predicted to be the Apple A16 Bionic) 3 nm, instead opting for the 4 nm chipset.

This might be somewhat disappointing news for those hoping the iPhone 2022 would have better performance thanks to the 3 nm chip. However, it must be said that the 4 nm process chip is no slouch either, and it's a considerable improvement over the 5 nm chip in the iPhone 13 lineup.

4. Rear Camera Module with 4 Larger Sensors 

The camera has been the most prominent and highly anticipated feature of the iPhone in the past 2 generations. Both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 have dual-camera systems with quite good quality. But users still hope that Apple will do more and improve algorithms to introduce more innovative features on the iPhone 2022.

Compared to Android phones, having a quad-camera setup is quite commonplace now. They have appeared quite frequently on flagships like the Vivo X70 Pro 5G, OPPO Find X3 Pro with additional telephoto lenses, or even on a mid-range product like the Galaxy A52s 5G, which also features a quad-camera system.

Therefore, adding a fourth lens on the iPhone 2022 will significantly enhance its photography capabilities. If we were to idealize, Apple could opt for what Samsung has done with its products by equipping a secondary telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom.

If combined with this along with Apple's software optimization through the iOS platform, I believe that the photography capabilities of the iPhone 2022 will be greatly enhanced and could potentially become the best camera smartphone in 2022.

So should you buy the iPhone 13 or wait for the iPhone 14 upgrade?

If you're using an iPhone XR, iPhone 11, or earlier models, upgrading to the iPhone 13 is an extremely good and practical choice. It's a device with substantial value and is suitable for a wider range of users (at least when considering the price and longer update support).

Despite having many upgrades in terms of display, camera, or configuration, the iPhone 13 is considered to be only a slight improvement over the previous generation. So if you're using an iPhone 12, 12 Pro, or 12 Pro Max, perhaps you should wait to embrace the much-anticipated iPhone 2022, which is expected to have more significant upgrades.

Above, I've just answered your question about whether to buy the iPhone 13 or wait for the iPhone 2022, highlighting the prominent features of both the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 2022. Hopefully, this will provide you with useful information to help you choose the most suitable iPhone for you!
