Apple has not announced an end date, but iPhones typically get six to eight years of major iOS updates, so a 2021 iPhone 13 should keep getting updates for a few more years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which-iPhone-13-model-is-the-best-value\"><\/span>Which iPhone 13 model is the best value?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard iPhone 13 is the best value for most buyers at about $293 on average. The 13 Pro adds a telephoto camera and a 120Hz display for about $140 more, and the 13 Pro Max has the longest battery life of the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does-the-iPhone-13-support-Apple-Intelligence\"><\/span>Does the iPhone 13 support Apple Intelligence?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro or newer.

The iPhone 15 was the first iPhone with USB-C, so choose an iPhone 15 or newer if you want one cable for your phone and other devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone 13 is still the sweet spot for a budget iPhone in 2026: about $293 on average for a modern design, a strong camera, and years of updates left.
