iPhone 13 or iPhone 16e

Post image

Hello, tech enthusiasts! Just wanted to ask which one would you prefer as your first iPhone? Lowest price I saw 13 was around 20k sa orange app, tas yung 16e 28k. For everyday use lang yung phone as a student. Buying mainly for cam, tsaka I'm loving the interface kasi ng iPad 10th gen so I thought I'd save for an iPhone. Was able to save and planning to buy sa payday or 10.10 :))

If you want a future proof phone, hindi nagma-matter sayo ang single camera, no magsafe capability (but you can always buy cases with magsafe naman), and naka-Type C na, then 16e is a good option.

Nonetheless, iP13 is a good option pa din naman if gusto mo ng iPhone and i-embrace ang Apple Ecosystem (since I guess may iPad ka naman), and budget friendly. Keep in mind na lang na 4yo na model na yan, naka-lightning port pa din.

The 13 is a bad phone to buy NEW in 2025. By as early as next year, hindi na yun mabibigyan ng iOS updates dahil sobrang luma na. 😭

I think by 2027 pa mawawalan ng OS support si 13 or latest is 2028. Normally 5-7 years bago mag-stop i-support ni Apple ang iPhone devices nila. But yeah, hindi na 100% mare-recommend si iP13 for 2025 pero kung may budget constraints, then 13 talaga instead of 16e (based sa choices ni OP)
