iPhone 13 Pro Model Number A2483, A2636, A2638, A2639, A2640 Differences

Updated on by

Similar to previous years, Apple introduced two Pro versions of the new iPhone in September 2021. The iPhone 13 Pro is the smaller version with a 6.1-inch display while the 13 Pro Max has a huge 6.7-inch screen. An important selling point of the iPhone 13 Pro is its more affordable price tag starting from $999 (£949, AU$1,699) and it still offers all Pro features found on the more expensive model.

Apple has made it easy for customers as the choice between the Pro and Pro Max version now totally depends on size preference. All the design, hardware, and camera system of the 2 phones are pretty much the same, except that the Pro Max has a bigger battery and therefore, could last a few hours longer on a single charge. As compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Pro features a more powerful A15 Bionic chip, a smaller notch for the TrueDepth camera system, sensor-shift optical image stabilization, a larger battery, more storage, and a Super Retina XDR display with adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. The rear camera system is also enlarged as all the 3 cameras are upgraded with larger sensors and wider aperture. The camera offers advanced computational photography and cinematography features like Photographic Styles, Night mode, or Cinematic mode. Notably, for the first time, users can capture, edit, and share videos on the iPhone in Dolby Vision or ProRes codec.

This year, the iPhone 13 Pro comes in 5 different model numbers, which are A2483, A2636, A2638, A2639, and A2640. Checking the model number is very important, especially when you buy it overseas or from an unauthorized Apple Store. They have some differences in LTE and 5G connectivity, so they could affect user experience significantly. Each model number has numerous part numbers specifying the origin country, carrier, storage (128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB), and color option (Graphite, Gold, Silver, Sierra Blue, Alpine Green). Let’s check out all the differences in the table below.

    Hello. I’m from Russia. iPhones are among the most expensive in the world here. My friend can buy me IPhone 13 Pro in Qatar. Will it work correctly in Russia? What problems will I face?

    • Louis GadgetCitykenya says

      Make sure the phone is fully unlocked on SIM card features nothing affect ur region if the simcard is unlocked

  3. Cs says

    Am I right to suppose that the dual physical SIM card model have no eSIM functions at all?
    I’ve just got one from Hong Kong as a gift and up till now I was using eSIM…

  4. Ziko says

    What about model MLVD3AA/A? It is not in the list. It is not a first time I can’t find exact models in the lists provided.

  5. Tim says

    Hey thanks for this, very informative.
    I bought from an unauthorized dealer for the discount. I forgot to check the model number before buying and it seems I got the US model A2483 (I’m in PH). Part number is not listed here though MLQH3LL/A.

  6. Mohamed says

    If I buy iphone 13 pro from United Arab Emirates and i will send this mobile to Egypt to be use there – my question here face time will be work in Egypt in this version of the iPhone or not a2638

    • Khaled M says

      My experience with iPhone from UAE is that when you replace the SIM card face time will disappear from the phone. check before you buy. That happened to me in Turkye and UK. I don’t recommend UAE iPhone.

  7. Tadashi Yamamoto says

    iPhone 13 Pro A2636:
    Listed under the above model includes 5 different countries. Does this mean I can purchase in any of these countries and use the phone in any of these counties? I mean not just roaming but having account with a carrier in the country.
    Also listed under the above are part numbers for Japan and Canada. The descriptions appears to indicate any of those with part numbers for Canada cannot be used in Japan. Is this correct?

  8. Skraty says

    We are going to take 13Pro A2638 (other countries and regions). The question is, will there be a guarantee, will there be restrictions for Russia?

  9. Abdullah says

    I have to by IPHONE 13 pro max Model A2644, It is mentioned that this phone is facetime locked.
    So my question is, Is this is the original one? I am very confuse this one is original or not.
    any good suggestion how can I check the phone by its IMEI or Serial number.
    Thank You
