iPhone 13 Model Number A2482, A2631, A2633, A2634, A2635 Differences

Updated on by

Apple released 4 iPhone models in 2021 and the iPhone 13 is considered a perfect middle ground for most average consumers. It lacks some high-end features but it is still an amazing phone considering the low price tag starting from $799 (£779, AU$1,349).

The iPhone 13 features a 20% smaller notch, A15 Bionic chip, sensor‑shift optical image stabilization on the wide camera, and a 6.1-inch OLED display just like the iPhone 13 Pro. However, it doesn’t have the ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh rates up to 120Hz, the display has lower max brightness, the GPU has 4 cores instead of 5 cores, and the triple-lens camera system on iPhone 13 Pro is way more impressive. The iPhone 13 doesn’t include a telephoto lens, doesn’t have a LiDAR scanner and macro photography capability, and of course, it doesn’t support Apple ProRAW image format and ProRes video codec. Having said that, most casual users don’t need those improved cameras or pro features, and probably they can’t tell the difference in performance between the 2 phones. Therefore, the iPhone 13 is still a very attractive phone at this price point.

The iPhone 13 comes in 5 different model numbers, which are A2482, A2631, A2633, A2634, and A2635. Each model is made for a specific country or region, therefore, those models can have significant differences in LTE and 5G cellular bands. We also try our best to list as many part numbers for each model as possible. The part numbers specify the origin country, carrier, storage (128GB, 256GB, 512GB), and color options (Starlight, Midnight, Blue, Pink, Green, (PRODUCT)RED). Check out the tables below to see all the differences.

    Hi, I am from Croatia, and I am in China until April 2022, my both iPhones is broken, so if I buy here new iPhone 13 and iPhone13 Pro should they work back in may country. Thanks in advance.

  3. Kirby P Atwater says

    The SKU’s for the A2482 for the iPhone 13 is incomplete. As an example, the number from Apple Store is 128GB Midnight MLML3LL/A, while on Verizon, it’s MLA23LL/A for the 128GB Midnight color. Are you going to update for the providers? The data is incorrect indicating that those number pertain to Verizon, ATT and T-Mobile

  5. Partha Datta says

    I purchased the A2634 model of Iphone 13 abroad. I am in the US now and the phone stopped working due to a hardware problem. Apple US won’t fix it and I have no way to get the phone to its origin of purchase. Is there any place in the US that can service it?
