Frequently asked questions
How long does the iPhone 13 last?
At Coolblue, we look at the expected amount of large software updates. After the launch of a new iPhone model, the device will receive at least 5 large annual iOS updates. This means the iPhone 13 will last until 2026. If your iPhone isn't suitable for the newest iOS version, you'll no longer receive updates. The iPhone 13 still receives security updates. This means you can still use the device, but some apps won't work (as well) anymore.
How much storage do i need?
Before you buy a new iPhone, you need to think about what you want to store on it. You can't expand the storage with a memory card. We recommend a capacity of 256GB, because that's sufficient for the average user. You have enough space for your apps, photos, and other files. If you want more space and want to store everything on your iPhone, choose at least 512GB storage.
