So, if you see an iPhone 13 deal that’s $100 / £100 less than an equivalent iPhone 14 deal this Black Friday, it’s worth adding to your basket – especially if you’re someone who’s still valiantly sporting an iPhone X or iPhone 11, but doesn’t care for the latest smartphone bells and whistles.

It’s been awhile since the iPhone 13 was the new kid on the block, and that’s a good thing for deals. As you’ll be reminded by our iPhone 13 review, this phone still has the lightning cable, but at $339 and being locked to the quite good Straight Talk, this is an excellent deal on a phone that MSRP’d at $799 just two years ago.
