iPhone 13 Display Technology: What You Need to Know
OLED Across the Entire Range
A key milestone for the iPhone 13 series was bringing OLED to every model. Unlike the iPhone 11 (which used LCD for the base model), all four iPhone 13 variants use Super Retina XDR OLED displays. This means deep true blacks, excellent contrast ratios, and vibrant colours regardless of which model you own. For an in-depth look at how different screen technologies compare, read our InCell vs OLED comparison.
ProMotion — Pro Models Only
The iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max were the first iPhones to feature ProMotion — Apple's adaptive refresh rate technology that scales between 10Hz and 120Hz. The standard 13 and 13 mini run at a fixed 60Hz. This matters for repairs because our Standard replacement screens run at 60Hz on all models, while our Premium screens restore ProMotion on the Pro and Pro Max.
The Diagonal Camera and Smaller Notch
Apple reduced the notch size by 20% with the iPhone 13 series and repositioned the rear cameras diagonally. The smaller notch means iPhone 13 screens are not interchangeable with iPhone 12 screens — even though the display sizes are identical. Always confirm your exact model before ordering a repair.
Standard vs Premium: Choosing the Right Tier
Standard — From £84.95
- Panel type: Soft OLED (aftermarket)
- Resolution: Matches original specs
- Refresh rate: 60Hz (all models)
- Colour accuracy: Excellent for everyday use
- True Tone: Preserved
- Face ID: Fully preserved
- Warranty: 27 months
For the standard iPhone 13 and 13 mini, the Standard tier is an outstanding choice because these phones already run at 60Hz — you lose nothing. For the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, you'll sacrifice ProMotion, but the display quality in every other respect is excellent.
Premium — From £119.95
- Panel type: Soft OLED (OEM-grade or refurbished original)
- Resolution: Matches original specs
- Refresh rate: 60Hz (13/13 mini) or 10-120Hz ProMotion (13 Pro/Pro Max)
- Colour accuracy: Indistinguishable from original
- True Tone: Preserved
- Face ID: Fully preserved
- Warranty: 27 months
The Premium option is especially recommended for the 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, where it restores the full ProMotion experience. For the standard 13 and 13 mini, Premium offers slightly better colour accuracy and brightness, but the difference is more subtle.
Is an iPhone 13 Screen Repair Worth It in 2026?
This is the question we get asked most about the iPhone 13 series. The phone is now three years old — is it worth spending money on a screen repair, or should you just upgrade?
Here's our honest take:
- The iPhone 13 still receives iOS updates — Apple typically supports iPhones for 6-7 years, so the 13 series has at least 2-3 more years of software support ahead.
- Performance is still excellent — The A15 Bionic chip handles everything most people need without breaking a sweat.
- Repair cost vs replacement cost — A Standard screen repair at £84.95-£109.95 is a fraction of what a new iPhone costs. Even the Premium tier at £119.95-£149.95 is excellent value.
- Environmental impact — Repairing extends the phone's useful life and keeps it out of landfill. A screen repair is one of the most environmentally responsible choices you can make.
Unless your phone has other significant issues (dying battery, water damage, logic board problems), a screen repair is almost always worth it.
Face ID During Repair: How We Preserve It
All four iPhone 13 models use Face ID, and all four have the TrueDepth camera array embedded in the notch area of the display assembly. During a screen replacement, we carefully transfer these sensors from your old screen to the new one:
- Dot projector — projecting 30,000+ IR dots for 3D facial mapping
- Infrared camera — reading the dot pattern
- Flood illuminator — for Face ID in low light
- Ambient light sensor — for True Tone and auto-brightness
- Proximity sensor — for screen-off during calls
We test Face ID on every single repair before returning the phone. If you've had a repair done elsewhere that broke Face ID, send it to us — we can often diagnose and fix the issue. See our complete screen repair guide for the full process.
Key Differences Between the Four Models
While all four share the same design language, there are important differences that affect the repair:
| Feature | 13 mini | 13 | 13 Pro | 13 Pro Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Screen size | 5.4" | 6.1" | 6.1" | 6.7" |
| Panel | OLED | OLED | OLED | OLED |
| ProMotion | No | No | Yes (120Hz) | Yes (120Hz) |
| Brightness | 800 nits | 800 nits | 1000 nits | 1000 nits |
| Standard repair | £84.95 | £84.95 | £99.95 | £109.95 |
| Premium repair | £119.95 | £119.95 | £139.95 | £149.95 |
A Note on the iPhone 13 mini
The 13 mini holds a special place in the iPhone lineup — it was the last small iPhone Apple ever made. If yours has a cracked screen, we'd strongly recommend repairing it. There's no direct replacement available, and used 13 minis in good condition are commanding premium prices precisely because there's nothing else like them. A £84.95 screen repair is outstanding value to keep this unique device going.
What to Expect During the Repair
- Free diagnostic — We check for additional damage and confirm the repair plan with you.
- Disassembly — Phone powered off, display separated from the aluminium frame using controlled heat and precision tools.
- Sensor transfer — All Face ID components, earpiece, and sensors moved to the new display.
- True Tone calibration — Ambient light data programmed onto the new screen.
- Reassembly — Fresh adhesive gaskets applied, display seated, and screws reinstalled.
- Testing — Face ID, touch, auto-brightness, True Tone, proximity, and haptics all verified.
Total time: 20-30 minutes. Your data remains completely untouched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are iPhone 13 and 13 Pro screens interchangeable?
No. While both are 6.1 inches, the 13 Pro has different flex cable routing and supports ProMotion. Using the wrong screen will result in compatibility issues. We always match the correct screen to your specific model.
Will Face ID work after the repair?
Yes. We transfer your original TrueDepth camera sensors to the new screen and test Face ID before returning your phone.
Is the iPhone 13 mini screen repair the same price as the 13?
Yes — both are £84.95 (Standard) or £119.95 (Premium). The smaller panel size doesn't reduce the complexity of the repair.
How long will an iPhone 13 last after a screen repair?
With iOS support expected until at least 2028 and the A15 chip still performing well, you can realistically expect another 2-3 years of solid use from a repaired iPhone 13.
Can you repair a screen with water damage?
If there's water damage beyond the screen, we'll identify it during our free diagnostic and discuss the options with you. Sometimes a screen replacement is all that's needed; other times, additional work may be required. See our water damage guide for more.
