Apple doesn't have what one would really call a mid-range phone; sure the iPhone SE 2022 costs $429 / £419 / AU$719, which is arguably at the low end of mid-range (and the high end of the best cheap phones), but its spec sheet isn’t exactly impressive. Then you have the iPhone 15 starting at $799 / £799 / AU$1,499. This leaves a gap between these two price points for a mid-range Apple phone. There are plenty of Android alternatives, but nothing bearing a shiny partially-bitten apple.
But this is where the iPhone 13 comes in. Now two generations old, it’s still being sold by Apple, only its price has tumbled from the original $799 / £779 / AU$1,349 sticker price to a far more palatable $599 / £599 / AU$1,099 – trade in an old iPhone in and you can cut more off this new price.
