Attention, Apple fans! The dream of a more affordable iPhone is closer than ever. In recent hours, the iPhone 13 (128 GB) has seen a price drop that shakes the Argentine market: it is now available from $1,149,999 in fixed installments. Yes, you read that right: a high-end phone at a price that seemed impossible a few months ago. But is it really worth it? We tell you everything in detail and, by the way, compare it with the beasts from Samsung, Motorola, and Xiaomi.
The iPhone 13, launched in 2021, is still a beast: 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, A15 Bionic chip that flies, dual 12 MP camera with cinematic mode, and a battery that lasts up to 19 hours of video. In Argentina, the 128 GB version is available at Frávega, Musimundo, and iShop with interest-free installments of 12, 18, and even 24 months. Watch out! Some cards offer fixed installments, which protects you from inflation. But not everything is rosy: the official list price is $1,449,999, but with bank promotions it drops to $1,149,999. Is it worth it? It depends on your wallet.
If you are team Samsung, the Galaxy S23 FE (128 GB) is at $999,999 in installments. It has a 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Exynos 2200 processor, triple 50 MP camera, and 4500 mAh battery. It is a cheaper option than the iPhone, but with fewer years of updates. On the other hand, the Motorola Edge 40 Neo (256 GB) is available at $749,999, with a 6.55-inch pOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 7030, 50 MP camera, and 5000 mAh battery with 68W TurboPower charging. Ideal for those who want good battery life without spending a fortune.
And if money doesn’t stretch that far, Xiaomi goes all out: the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ (256 GB) is at $599,999. It features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display at 120 Hz, MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Ultra processor, 200 MP camera (yes, you read that right!), and 5000 mAh battery with 120W charging. With that, you charge the phone in 19 minutes. Crazy.
But let’s go back to the iPhone 13. Why did it drop? Everything points to the arrival of new models and Apple’s pricing policy in Argentina, which constantly adjusts. Also, interest-free installments are valid until stock runs out, so if you are thinking of changing your phone, this is the moment. Don’t sleep on it because prices could shoot up again.
In summary: today the iPhone 13 is the cheapest Apple phone in the Argentine market, but don’t forget to compare. If you want the best value for money, the Motorola Edge 40 Neo gives you more battery and fast charging for less money. If you go for raw power, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE is a beast. And if you want the most ridiculous camera on the market, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ leaves you speechless. Choose wisely, because the dollar doesn’t forgive.
