As was the case last year, there are four new iPhone 13 models available. Improvements have been made to the batteries, cameras, and most notable the displays – it is the first iPhone models to include a fast 120Hz refresh rate (in the Pro variants only). Apple has included a fast refresh rate of 120Hz on the displays, a feature available on Android flagships for the last several years. It also has a variable refresh rate, able to save battery by turning down the refresh rate when it isn’t needed on the display.
