Background

The iPhone 13 Pro was released on September 24th 2021 alongside the rest of the iPhone 13 lineup. Starting at the same price as last year’s iPhone 12 Pro, Apple’s new flagship maintains the same stainless steel design language and adds a 1 TB storage option, the first for iPhone. Both the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max gain a 120 Hz ProMotion display, an entirely upgraded 3-lens camera system, and Apple’s new A15 Bionic.

Featuring five GPU cores over the regular iPhone 13’s four, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at 128 GB and is available in Graphite, Silver, Gold, and Sierra Blue. A larger, 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max is also available.

The iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999 and can be identified by model numbers A2483, A2636, A2639, A2640, and A2638 depending on region.

Identification

You can identify the iPhone 13 Pro by finding one of the model numbers either on the inner edge of the SIM card tray or within the phone's Settings app:

  • A2483
  • A2636
  • A2638
  • A2639
  • A2640

You can find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like the numbers above.

The iPhone 13 Pro features a 6.1 in (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, and a smaller notch at the top of the screen to accommodate a speaker and selfie camera. The back cover is glass and the edge frame is made from flat stainless steel.

Volume controls and the SIM tray can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A rectangular camera "bump" containing three cameras in a triagonal layout protrudes slightly from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone 13 Pro can be differentiated from the iPhone 13 Pro Max by the 6.1 in screen (relative to the 6.7 in screen on the Pro Max model).
