Releasing in early 2022 2 month after the release of the 13, the iPhone 13 was meant to revive the sales that Apple did not achieve with the unsuccessful iPhone 12. It was Apple's 12 generation of iPhone, and was compatible with iOS 15, iOS 16, and iOS 17. The Pro Max was a little bigger than the base model, as well as the regular Pro Model. It has HD rumble and 3D camera effects (which is exclusive to pro models). It released on January 16, 2022, selling for a base price of $1,099.99, and by the release of the 14 a year and a half later, $375. It sold well, selling about 8.5 million units, 3 year after release.

iPhone 13 mini

The Airbus A318 of the smartphone world.

The iPhone 13 mini is the equivalent of the airbus A318. Its small size crippled its battery life and hampered sales. Same with the airbus A318. It was too small and its engines burned more fuel than expected so airlines didn’t want to operate it. It’s still in service with Air France, but will eventually be replaced by the A220.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
