Features
Every detail, verified.
01Network and SIM
The iPhone 13 Pro works on EE, O2, Vodafone, Three, giffgaff and other UK networks, with 5G where available. Apple specifies a nano-SIM plus eSIM, or two eSIMs, with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. Any iPhone 13 Pro unlocked for UK use like ours needs no network code.
02Display
Apple specifies a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED at 2532 x 1170 pixels with ProMotion up to 120Hz and 1,000 nits typical brightness, against 800 on the iPhone 13. It keeps the notch; the Dynamic Island arrived with the 14 Pro.
03Performance and storage
Apple uses the A15 Bionic with a 5-core GPU, one more than the iPhone 13. Storage runs from 128GB to 1TB with no card slot; a second hand iPhone 13 Pro with 512GB or 1TB suits ProRes video.
04Cameras
Apple lists three 12MP cameras: Main at ƒ/1.5 with sensor-shift stabilisation, Ultra Wide at ƒ/1.8 and Telephoto at ƒ/2.8 with 3x optical zoom, plus macro photography, a LiDAR Scanner, ProRAW and ProRes recording.
05Battery and charging
Apple rates it at up to 22 hours of video and 75 hours of audio when new, three hours more video than the iPhone 13. Every grade has at least 85% battery health at dispatch. It charges over Lightning with MagSafe up to 15W.
06Software updates
Apple lists the iPhone 13 Pro for iOS 27, current on 30 Sep 2026. Security updates depend on Apple's policy; check the latest status before you buy. It doesn't support Apple Intelligence.
07iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 Pro
vs iPhone 12 Pro: A15 rather than A14, 120Hz ProMotion, 3x zoom (12 Pro: 2x) and 22 hours of video (12 Pro: 17). vs iPhone 13: adds 120Hz, a telephoto, macro and LiDAR. vs iPhone 14 Pro: A16, a 48MP Main, the Dynamic Island and Always-On display.
Condition
Pre-owned. Tested. Honestly graded.
This iPhone 13 Pro is pre-owned, not new or sealed: tested, cleaned, factory reset and signed out of the previous owner's Apple ID, with Activation Lock off. It's refurbished by The Tech Gadgets, not Apple, and the grade describes cosmetic wear. Like New: no visible marks on the screen or body. Excellent: light signs of use, hard to spot at arm's length. Very Good: visible marks on the body; the screen is in good shape. Every grade is fully working, tested and cleaned, with at least 85% battery health. See how we test and grade. Its stainless steel frame shows fine marks differently from an aluminium iPhone 13.

How it compares
Our view
Is a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro worth buying in 2026?
Yes, if you want a 120Hz screen, a 3x telephoto and macro on a budget. It runs iOS 27 on the A15 Bionic. The trade-offs are 12MP cameras rather than 48MP, Lightning, no Crash Detection, and a five-year security minimum that has been reached.
Who it's for
It suits people who want Pro cameras in a 6.1-inch phone. For a bigger screen and 28 hours of rated video, see the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Without zoom needs, the iPhone 13 costs less.

Is it unlocked?
Yes. It's unlocked for every UK network, including EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and giffgaff. Apple specifies a nano-SIM plus eSIM, or two eSIMs, so SIM-only plans and eSIM both work.
What battery health will I get?
At least 85% on every grade, checked before dispatch. You can see the figure in Settings › Battery › Battery Health.
What's in the box?
Your Apple iPhone 13 Pro – Unlocked – Refurbished (UK), a charging cable and a SIM ejector pin, all in protective packaging. The cable and SIM pin are included free.
Is a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro worth it in 2026?
Yes, for 120Hz and a 3x telephoto at a lower price. It runs iOS 27, but it lacks USB-C, Crash Detection and Apple Intelligence.
iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 14: which should I buy refurbished?
Choose the 13 Pro for 120Hz and a telephoto; choose the iPhone 14 for Crash Detection, satellite SOS and later security cover. The 13 Pro costs less here.
Does the iPhone 13 Pro have a macro camera?
Yes. Apple lists macro photography using the Ultra Wide camera. The iPhone 13 and 13 mini don't have it.
How long will the iPhone 13 Pro get updates?
It runs iOS 27 today. Security updates depend on Apple's policy; check the latest status before you buy.
