While the iPhone 13 Pro is one of the best performing devices in Apple's line-up, it's still one of the most expensive. So you might be tempted by another, more affordable model, the iPhone XR. It has a lot of features and efficient components, but can it compete with the iPhone 13 Pro? Here are some answers.

With its A15 Bionic chip (compared to the A12 chip in the iPhone XR), the iPhone 13 Pro logically has the edge in performance. It is both faster and smoother. It also wins points for storage capacity. It is available with at least 128GB, compared to only 64GB for the XR model. While the two screens are similar in size (6.1 inches each), the difference lies in their technology. The panel is LCD on the iPhone XR and OLED on the iPhone 13 Pro. The latter therefore has the advantage, being particularly pleasant for playing games or watching videos. RAM is also doubled on this device. It is 6GB for the 13 Pro and only 3GB for the iPhone XR.

While it's hard to compete with the iPhone XR in terms of performance and features, it still offers the best price. It is sold at a much lower price than the 13 Pro. It is therefore aimed at both the budget-conscious and users looking for a versatile device with a very good price/performance ratio. It is important to note, however, that it has a shorter lifespan. Released before the iPhone 13 Pro, it will be less compatible with Apple's upcoming software updates.

Newer and more powerful, the iPhone 13 Pro is aimed at the most demanding users, who are constantly looking for new features. It has the edge in speed, battery life and photography. These qualities come at a price. This then allows the iPhone XR to gain ground, selling for several hundred pounds less, it is suitable for those with smaller budgets.
