If you value a phone with a larger screen and much longer battery life, the OnePlus 12 might be a good fit for you, though it comes at a higher cost than the Apple iPhone 13 Pro. Conversely, if you prefer iOS, a smaller handset that is easier to handle, and want to save some money, the iPhone 13 Pro is the more economical choice. Keep in mind the OnePlus 12 has a camera with higher megapixel counts and more RAM which could mean better performance, but the iPhone 13 Pro boasts excellent camera quality despite lower megapixel numbers. The OnePlus 12 also offers faster charging out of the box, a feature not highlighted for the iPhone 13 Pro. Give Feedback

Android Authority
Dhruv Bhutani | October 2021
"The basic foundation of the phone is rock solid and essentials like UI navigation, apps, security, and privacy features are polished to a sheen. The camera works consistently well and takes some of the best pictures you can get out of a phone. The phone further embellishes it with performance that won’t have you reaching for a replacement for years, and the battery life is hands-down amongst the best you can get on a flagship. If you’ve been eyeing an iPhone, the iPhone 13 Pro is as good as it gets."

About Apple
The tech giant called Apple is synonymous with the most popular smartphone in the world: the iPhone. Known for their build quality and aesthetics, as well as for their excellent integration between hardware and software, iPhones have defined the smartphone industry ever since their conception and they continue to do so by setting new industry standards. Apple's own operating system, called iOS, is known for its simplicity and ease of use, and the company tends to complement it well by creating devices with some of the most powerful processing hardware available in the mobile world. The iPhone is also known for its robust ecosystem of accessories, as it facilitates a very seamless experience when interacting with other Apple products, more so than most of its competitors.
About OnePlus
OnePlus, established in 2013, is a smartphone brand that first became known for providing flagship-like devices, at a fraction of the cost compared to more expensive Android competitors. OnePlus focuses on creating smartphones with powerful hardware at reasonable prices. They also bring hardware features normally not seen in other Android phones sold in the US, such as their ultra-fast “Warp Charge” and the beloved “Alert Slider”.
