Upgrading from an iPhone 12 mini to an iPhone 13 Pro will bring some immediately noticeable changes. For example, the iPhone 13 Pro has a larger display, and the phone itself is also larger. The display size goes from 5.4” on the iPhone 12 mini to 6.1” on the iPhone 13 Pro, and the Pro also adds ProMotion with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This upgrade path also means getting the newer Apple A15 Bionic processor, up to 1TB of storage space, and a better rear camera setup. The iPhone 13 Pro features a triple 12MP telephoto, wide, and ultra-wide camera setup with new features such as Apple ProRAW, Night mode portraits, and Photographic Styles.
