Overview

Be aware that this A2635 iPhone 13 is compatible with 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n77, n78, and n79. It does not support 5G NR bands n29 (700d MHz) and n71 (600 MHz), nor 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This model is designed for carriers in Russia, as well as Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, but remains technically functional with carriers globally.


All iPhone 13 models have a 6.1-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR" display (2532x1170, 460 ppi) that covers almost the entire front. It has three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "notch," supports Face ID, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a dual 12-megapixel, 4K-capable camera system with Ultra Wide (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view) and Wide (f/1.6 aperture) lenses. Apple promotes that the Ultra Wide camera's new sensor offers more detail and less noise, while the Wide camera includes "Sensor-shift OIS" for enhanced stabilization. These cameras also support a new "Cinematic mode" with a simulated depth effect (1080p, 30 fps).


The iPhone 13 is built with an aluminum case with flat sides and has a glass front and back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, and the back has an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). It is available in five colors: a warm gray (Starlight), "Midnight" (black), blue, (pale) pink, and (PRODUCT) RED. This specific model was not offered in Green starting from March 8, 2022.


Internally, the iPhone 13 is driven by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with six cores (two performance, four efficiency) and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, Ultra Wideband for "spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve," and dual SIM support (one hardware nano SIM and one software-based eSIM or dual eSIMs).


Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 13 are "up to" 75 hours of audio playback, 19 hours of video playback, and 15 hours of streamed video.


While pricing differed by country, in Russia, this specific iPhone 13 was initially priced at RUB 79,990, 89,990, and 109,990 for the 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB storage options, respectively.

Evaluation

The iPhone 13 A2635 designed for Russian markets earned significant recognition from Eastern European technology reviewers for its thoughtful regional adaptation and exceptional value proposition within Apple's mainstream lineup. Technology publications like iXBT.com and 3DNews consistently praised the device's optimized 5G band configuration that focused on sub-6GHz frequencies, ensuring reliable connectivity across Russia's diverse geographic landscape where mmWave deployment remained nascent. The dual-camera system with Cinematic mode provided impressive computational photography capabilities that performed exceptionally well in low-light conditions common during Russian winters, while the A15 Bionic processor delivered flagship-level performance at a more accessible price point.
