    only 12MP for such expensive phone

      Usually the software and the image processing make up for the hardware.

        The latter iphones have crazy image processing which can produce very very unnatural outcomes. This one should still be fine before they nuked the processing options.

      There's a thing called the megapixel myth, more doesn't equal better and can be worse. It's be more concerned about processor speed and updates. https://garyhartblog.com/2020/08/09/the-megapixel-myth/

      Sony sell a $4,799 camera that is "only 12MP": https://store.sony.com.au/interchangeablelenscamera-a7/ILCE7…

        12MP allows native 4k capturing without the need of either oversampling or pixel binning.
        The a7s3 is part of sony hybrid specialised for video capturing which uses the same sensor as fx3 and fx6.

        That being said 12MP is good enough for digital image. Doubt many would do a large print of their iphone photo.

            • JohnnyP on 25/02/2025 - 20:18

              @noodlez543: S24 should have another 6. 13 another 4 based on 7 year rule

              • PainToad on 25/02/2025 - 20:29

                @JohnnyP: But look how slack Samsung are with getting Android secruity updates out.

                eg. look at these delays.

                    @Fuzor: You completely missed the point/miss read the link.

                    Security patch level : 2024-11-01

                    This is the date Google discolsed vulnerabilities in Android and provided OEMs (and customer firmware) fixes for these vulnerabilities to AOSP.

                    Release Date : 2024-11-27

                    This is the date Samsung updated their firmware to incrorpate these fixes.

                    So there was 26 days where vulnerabilities had been disclosed and potentially being actively exploited before Samsung provided a fix.

                    Compared to Apple, where since they're responsaible for both the hardware and the software, they can ensure updates are pushed out the same day they disclose vulnerabilities.

  • herbo on 25/02/2025 - 19:18

    I looked into iPhone 13 purchase recently. Same one is $785 at Big W so could get OW to price match minus 5%. Then use gift cards to pay, such as the 10% off Ultimate gift cards that expires today. I decided it was still too expensive considering its age.

    • slankets on 25/02/2025 - 19:22

      what do you define as shit product? while its true that not much innovations / features have been added in recent iPhone generations
      from Processor, GPU, cameras to its eco-system is still one of the best in the market
      and iphones has a long history of durability, my very first iphone 4 bought 14 years ago are still working (while most apps cannot be updated)
      during the same time, I got Samsung Galaxy S3 4G and its dead just after 3 years of use

    This is E waste

    • PainToad on 25/02/2025 - 19:46

      I use an iPhone 12. It is perfectly usable. Never lags, makes calls, sends messages, takes photos, 5G, gets regular secruity updates; everthing I need.

      The 13 is even newer.

      What exactly about this is e-waste. Do you even know what that means?

      • Grok on 25/02/2025 - 20:08

        Same experience here, no lags nothing, have a 12 I bought a year ago or so for $675 at OW.

        These cheap deals on 3year old new iPhones are a bargain. People don’t appreciate that Apple with their complete vertical integration of hardware and software can pull off efficiencies that Android in general and even Samsung in particular can only dream about.

        The 13 will probably be directly supported by Apple for longer than Samsung's current flagship.

    • 0jay on 25/02/2025 - 19:51

      i paid $650 for an apple refurbed 256gb xs 4 years ago, sold it last week for $230, very happy buyer and i got 4 years heavy use

      how’s it ewaste exactly?

    • Brianqpr on 25/02/2025 - 22:05

      Nonsense, and I'm not Apple lover.

      The newer iPhones are not that different to the 13. You will be getting a very decent device at a fraction of the price of the newer models.

  • Mintee on 25/02/2025 - 20:07

    Its so frustrating the apple refuses to support older products… thats my issue… the folks love there apples and I always buy them a few generations behind…. but it always gets to a point where they no longer get updates and cant install app updates etc…. Iphone 13 support should be till 2028…. so thats 3 years….

    Id be stacking this with: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/893882 for those that are interested to save an additional $50-$70 :)

    Even if I only ever used Magsafe charging the mere presence of that port would give me hives.

    Appreciate the deal OP, however I want to share my 2c:

    As an iPhone 13 user for two years, I really am not a fan of the camera at all. Photos aren't as crisp as I'd like from an iPhone (and prefer older models tbh) so I use Halide to shot RAW. Videos are decent, however the light refraction artifacts are off-putting. You can see streaks of light bounce off the lens and quite evident during the day.

    • Mike Nolan on 25/02/2025 - 21:28

      Yep hate the lens flare/floating lights so much. And they’ve still not done anything about it. The fact that you can spend upwards of $2500 on an iPhone 16 which still exhibits these issues that render the camera unusable in some situations…. just absurd.

  • stevelo on 25/02/2025 - 21:03

    Got Android flagship oppo few years ago and use my daughter iPhone 12 (probably 1 year newer than Oppo) now, just choose whatever you prefer. There aren’t much differences.
