Apple has already officially announced the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro, which come with many new features compared to their previous generations. With the launch of these models, the company has taken the opportunity to clean up its catalog of available smartphones. The iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max disappear, as well as the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 mini. The third-generation iPhone SE, of course, remains, too, the iPhone 12, as well as the iPhone 13 and 13mini. Apple, however, has not made one of the most important changes in these last two model: an adjustment in price. It is something that, in fact, we have seen on other occasions.
The company, remember, tends to reduce the cost of those previous models that remain in the catalog after the arrival of a new iPhone. For example, with the arrival of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, the iPhone 11 remained on sale for 689 euros; 120 euros less compared to its previous departure, which was 809 euros.
The iPhone 13 and 13 mini, on the other hand, they remain for 909 euros and 809 euros respectively. That is, the same price as a year ago. This zero reduction in the cost of the iPhone has a reason: the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro are more expensive than ever due to the parity of the dollar with the euro. The iPhone 14 costs 1,009 euros, while the iPhone 14 Plus will be available for 1,159 euros. In fact, if we compare the prices of the iPhone in the United States, we see that Apple has applied a reduction of, specifically, 100 euros.
In Spain, the difference of the iPhone 14 compared to last year’s model, precisely, is also 100 euroswhich, remember, is approximately the amount that Apple usually lowers when it announces a new model and keeps its predecessor in the catalog.
There are ways to get the iPhone 13 cheaper
Fortunately, and despite the fact that Apple has kept the prices on its website, it is possible to find the iPhone 13 at a price lower than 909 euros. At Amazon, for example, the standard model with 128 GB is available for around 850 euros, while the mini version can be purchased for around 705 euros; 100 euros less than what it costs on the Apple website.

The iPhone 13 and the mini variant, on the other hand, continue to be very interesting alternatives for those users who are looking for a mobile with iOS that stands out in performance, camera and autonomy, and that does not exceed the range of 1,000 euros. In fact, these models barely arrive with differences compared to the new iPhone 14. Without forgetting, in addition, that this year there is no longer an iPhone 14 mini. Therefore, those who prefer a compact smartphone should go for the iPhone 13 mini.
