iPhone 13 preorders are currently live. Some carriers and retailers are even offering iPhone 13 deals for anyone who wants one of Apple's new phones. If you prefer to check out the phone in person, the family of iPhone 13 phones will be available in-stores starting Friday, September 24.  

In terms of pricing, the iPhone 13 mini starts at $799, whereas the iPhone 13 starts at $899. Meanwhile, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999 and the iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at $1,099. The entire iPhone 13 family is powered by Apple's new A15 Bionic CPU and all base models start with 128GB of storage. The Pro models now have a 1TB storage capacity option.  

If the iPhone 13 isn't what you hope for, we're also seeing many new iPhone 12 deals as well.
