Will the iPhone 13 cost more or less than its predecessors? We should know for sure in September.
Andrew Hoyle/CNETThe iPhone 13 is just a few months away. One of the biggest considerations when deciding whether to upgrade to the newest iPhone is always the price. We have some thoughts on whether to buy a new iPhone 12 now or wait for the iPhone 13 release date (the addition of the purple iPhone 12, however, might change the calculus somewhat). But without knowing how much the iPhone 13 (or will it be the iPhone 12S?) will cost, it's a tough call.
We've kept an eye out for rumors, leaks and clues about the price of Apple's next flagship phone, but so far there isn't much news. We've also gathered the rumors swirling around the iPhone 13's camera specs, design and colors (will there be a pink iPhone 13?) and the phone's rumored features. And don't miss our iPhone 13 wish list. We won't know the final price structure until Apple reveals new phones this fall. But in the meantime, we can make some educated guesses on the iPhone 13's price.

The iPhone 13 isn't expected to be a major technical upgrade from the iPhone 12, which was the first to include 5G support. Because of this, analysts are predicting that the iPhone 13 will cost about the same as the iPhone 12, the base version of which starts at $799 (£799, AU$1,349). Since the iPhone 12 led to the largest revenue and profit quarter in Apple's history, the company may be incentivized to follow a similar pricing structure.
