Paraphrased sentiment from owner discussions across Reddit, forums and YouTube. Follow each link for the original thread.
Owners of the standard iPhone 13 post real-world battery results. One reports ending the day around 47-50% remaining and improving over time; another, upgrading from the SE 2020, notes about 75% left after a full day of calls, texts, emails and apps without charging, calling it a relief not to worry about battery anymore. The overall lean is positive, especially for moderate daily users (per MacRumors Forums).
Read the discussion on MacRumors Forums →Several new owners share day-one reactions to the iPhone 13. Pink draws repeated "gorgeous" praise, and the camera plus Cinematic mode earn approval. The recurring gripe is the large camera bump, called a dust/lint magnet that protrudes inside cases, alongside a sense that the exterior is barely changed from the 12 and fingerprint-prone edges. Lean is mostly positive, best suited to those upgrading from older iPhones rather than iPhone 12 owners (per MacRumors Forums).

What does "Pre-Owned / Good as New" mean, and what battery health and warranty should I expect?
This is a refurbished iPhone 13, not brand-new. Grade labels like "Good as New" / A-Grade usually mean it has been tested, cleaned and shows only minor or near-invisible wear, but the exact definition, battery health and warranty vary by the specific refurbisher, so confirm before buying. As a benchmark, SA refurbishers typically certify battery health around 80% or higher; iStore Certified Pre-owned, for example, lists 2-year cover and replaces the battery if health drops below 75% in that window. Ask the seller for the actual battery-health % and warranty terms in writing. — PriceJive
Can I expand the 256GB storage, and does it take two SIMs?
No, iPhone storage is not expandable: there is no microSD slot, so the 256GB built into this unit is all you get (still roomy for ~tens of thousands of photos or large app libraries). For connectivity it does support Dual SIM: a physical nano-SIM plus a built-in eSIM, and the iPhone 13 can even run two eSIMs. That lets you keep, say, a personal and work or travel number on one phone, which works with South African networks that offer eSIM. — PriceJive
Is a charger included, and how fast does it charge?
Expect only the phone and a USB-C-to-Lightning cable in the box, with no wall charger or earphones; Apple stopped including the plug, and refurbished units often ship cable-only too, so check exactly what the seller provides. You will need a USB-C power adapter. With a 20W (or higher) adapter the iPhone 13 fast-charges to about 50% in 30 minutes. It also supports MagSafe wireless charging at up to 15W and standard Qi wireless at 7.5W if you prefer a pad. — PriceJive
What is the camera setup and screen like, and is it water resistant?
The iPhone 13 has a dual 12MP rear system: a Wide (f/1.6) main camera plus an Ultra Wide (f/2.4, 120 deg) for landscapes and group shots, with features like Cinematic Mode video and Photographic Styles. The display is a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED (60Hz) that is bright and sharp at roughly 800 nits typical, 1200 nits peak HDR, good in sunlight. It carries an IP68 rating (tested to 6m for 30 min when new), but on a pre-owned phone treat that as splash and rain protection rather than a swimming guarantee, since seals age. — PriceJive
