iPhone Models, Features, and Prices to Consider

Apple is one of the leading international smartphone companies. Even in the country, it is quite a popular brand. Despite being premium smartphones, Apple’s iPhones seem to be desirable products in the country. That said, the brand offers numerous iPhone models that cater to diverse budget requirements and design preferences.

iPhone Models, Features, and Prices to Consider
So, if considering buying an iPhone, one can compare features and prices to choose a variant that fits their needs.

Models, features, and pricing
One can pick from the different iPhone models, ranging from the latest releases to previous generation phones.

iPhone 15 Series
This is the latest addition to the iPhone lineup. The iPhone 15 comes with iOS 17—Apple’s seventeenth-generation operating system. The phone comes in durable black glass and contoured edges. In its camera setup, one can expect to get a 48MP main wide angle and different modes, including panoramic, burst mode, night mode, time-lapse, and action mode. Other key iPhone 15 features are an aluminum design, a ceramic shield front, powerful camera upgrades, and a 3,349 mAh battery, lasting up to 11 hours with regular use on full charge. The 15 series also includes the iPhone 15 Plus, Pro, and Pro Max variants. They vary in terms of battery life, weight, and size. A few additional features in these models include live reading, VoiceOver, magnifying glass, and assistive touch. The iPhone Pro stands out for its titanium design, which makes it lighter.

With tiered pricing, Apple offers three internal storage options, including 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. All variants in the 15 series are available in black, blue, yellow, green, and pink pastel shades. The models here are 7.8 mm thick and splash, water, and dust resistant.

The cost of one model in the lineup can go up to CLP $979,990 . Buyers can also opt for monthly interest-free installments of CLP $40,833 for 24 months or consider trading in their old phone to reduce upfront costs. Additionally, after trading in an iPhone 11 or newer model, one can get about CLP $140,000 to CLP $610,000 in credit toward an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro.

iPhone 14 series
Equipped with similar internal storage options and color choices as the iPhone 15, the iPhone 14 lineup comes in four variants – the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. All of them have professional-grade camera setups, Shock Detection, and an A15 Bionic chip with a 5-core GPU. The only difference between the models is that the iPhone 14 and Pro have a 6.1-inch display and provide up to 20 hours of video playback, whereas the Plus and Pro Max variants feature a larger 6.7-inch display and 26 hours of playback.

The average cost of the iPhone 14 series is about CLP $849,990 . One can get a phone here by paying about CLP $35,416 per month for 24 months, but the cost can vary based on the variant. For the iPhone 14 series, Apple offers about CLP $35,000 to $610,000 trade-in credit for a new phone in exchange for an older model.

iPhone 13 series
The iPhone 13 series is relatively cheaper than its newer counterparts but has all the trademark features of Apple smartphones. These iPhone features include excellent camera quality, standard internal storage options, good battery life, a vibrant display, Face ID for secure authentication, and support for 5G connectivity. The lineup has a few color options—blue, white, red, black, pink, and green. Along with the standard iPhone 13, the lineup includes Mini, Pro, and Pro Max variants.

In terms of internal storage, iPhones do not have the option to expand memory or insert storage cards. So, for those who work with too many apps and media files and often run out of space, it’s best to consider an IPhone phone with a larger capacity.

The iPhone 13 starts at CLP $729,990 , but with a 24-month installment, one can own one of the variants at just CLP $30,416 per month. Apple offers the same trade-in deals for this lineup as the 14 series, but here, one can exchange any model starting from the iPhone 7 series to the latest one. Those using even older models should check with the local stores if their phones are eligible for trade-in offers.

Other iPhone models
One can find several older models in the country, including the iPhone 12 series, iPhone SE (3rd generation), 11 series, X, XS, XR, 8 Plus, and 7 Plus. These models also see demand and are sold by certain retailers and second-hand sellers. A key benefit is that the older iPhone models are more affordable but have the same service quality as the newer variants. Apart from the standard built-in features, Apple also offers additional benefits like AppleCare coverage for theft or loss of phone on the purchase of each model. Buyers can also opt for unlimited repairs and replacements.

Smartphone buyers in the country can compare iPhones and buy the one they like through Apple’s official online store, which was recently launched. One can also consider Apple’s retail services, where one can book a personal session with a specialist who can offer a brief guide to iPhone setup, safe data transfer, and iOS basics. This can ease the activation and setup processes. Apple also has a few dedicated retail stores that offer trade-in programs. If an existing model is not eligible for exchange, it can be recycled by the store for free to reduce electronic waste.
