3 Reasons to Pre-Order the iPhone 13 & 4 Reasons to Wait

Wait for iPhone 13 Reviews

The iPhone 13 series looks great on paper, but there's no guarantee you'll want or need all of the changes Apple's made this year.

We don't expect iPhone 13 reviews to go live before pre-orders start. That said, we do expect reviews to trickle out a few days before they arrive in stores. 

Buying an iPhone 13 might sound great, but many of you will be just fine going with a cheaper model like the iPhone 11, iPhone SE, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus. You'll also want to investigate Apple's iPhone 12 series. 

If money is tight right now or you're conflicted about which iPhone 13 to buy, we recommend waiting for iPhone 13 reviews, long-term feedback from critics and early adopters, and the ability to go hands-on with one or more of these devices.
