If you’re considering a higher-end purchase for the iPhone 13 launch, the chances are you have quite a high budget in mind. There’s not enough difference in screen size and resolution to warrant the extra £100, but having a 6.7 120hz inch screen is very tempting. You could also save money by buying the base 128GB storage and utilize cloud storage services. Whichever option you go for,  iPhone 13 Pro vs Pro Max is probably the most significant ‘Pro’ upgrade and Apple launch has seen in a long time.
