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

Wait if You're Worried About Problems

If you're concerned about hardware or software problems, you might want to wait a few weeks before buying an iPhone 13.

The devices will run iOS 15 out of the box. The operating system is very new and users are dealing with an assortment of bugs and performance issues. 

Apple will likely roll out new iOS 15 software in the coming days so it might be worth waiting for the next batch of iPhone 13-related bug fixes to arrive before buying. 

New iPhones sometimes debut with hardware issues as well. For instance iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus users encountered bloated batteries and crackling earpieces while iPhone 11 buyers ran into issues with scratches. iPhone 12 users ran into issues with 5G connectivity and various other issues at launch. 

The iPhone 13 series utilizes a lot of new technology so we could certainly see some growing pains right out of the gates.

If you're concerned, you might want to hang back and see what kind of problems early adopters are seeing in the days and/or weeks after the phones are released.
