OnePlus 13 vs Apple iPhone 16

Megapixels, aperture and autofocus are read from TrueDepth, not copied from the rear main camera.

IEC 60529 laboratory tests: IPX8 in still fresh water 1.5 m for 30 minutes; IPX9 high-temperature spray. Resistance may decrease with wear; liquid damage is not covered by the warranty.

The claim is a controlled IEC 60529 test at up to 6 m for 30 minutes. It is not a permanent waterproof guarantee or liquid-damage warranty.

OnePlus names the backplane (LTPO 4.1) and its ProXDR branding, not the emitter technology.

The source explicitly identifies OLED. No measured contrast, motion or panel-quality result is inferred.

Manufacturer peak claim; not sustained full-screen brightness or an independent measurement.

This is the separately labelled outdoor peak, not typical or HDR brightness and not an independent measurement.

Apple publishes 460 ppi directly. A calculation using the rounded 6.1-inch diagonal is not substituted.

Counts the wide, telephoto and ultra-wide rear cameras OnePlus lists; the flash and front camera are not counted.

The model description explicitly names two physical rear cameras: Ultra Wide and Fusion. The enabled2x crop is not another module.

Uses the advertised nominal diagonal, not actual viewable area or the standard-rectangle diagonal.

Uses the labelled height in millimetres; neither the source width nor its inch value is substituted.

Black Eclipse / Arctic Dawn: 213 g. Midnight Ocean is listed at 210 g.

Apple lists device grams, not parcel mass or the weight of accessories. Size and weight can vary with configuration and manufacture.

Uses the labelled chassis width. A larger value is not inherently preferable.

Midnight Ocean is listed at 8.9 mm thick.

Each labelled dimension was checked individually, then deliberately reordered to height × width × depth. Configuration/manufacturing variation remains possible.

Uses the labelled depth as chassis thickness, without inventing camera-bump depth.

The UK store also lists a 16 GB + 512 GB Arctic Dawn configuration, which is a separate SKU. Usable storage is lower after system files.

256GB is an explicit storage option for the existing selected configuration. Apple does not publish RAM GB here; storage is not RAM.

UK specification bands: GSM 850/900/1800/1900; WCDMA 1/2/4/5/6/8/19; LTE FDD 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/30/32/66/71; LTE TDD 38/39/40/41/48; 5G SA n1/n2/n3/n5/n7/n8/n12/n20/n25/n28/n30/n38/n40/n41/n48/n66/n71/n75/n77/n78. eSIM availability depends on the carrier. OnePlus US sells a separate North American model (CPH2655, e.g. 12 GB + 256 GB Ebony Eclipse, SKU 5011111156); its bands and identifiers are not covered by this UK record.

The UK specification identifies A3287, with physical nano-SIM and eSIM. This model identity does not establish retailer stock or network-provider support.

Main (wide) rear camera; aperture alone does not determine photo quality.

Fusion Main lists one f/1.6 aperture, separately from the ultra-wide f/2.2. No aperture or camera-quality winner is inferred.

The front camera lists electronic image stabilisation only; OnePlus does not state whether it has OIS.

Front auto image stabilisation is listed without an optical mechanism. It does not establish front optical stabilisation.

No source recorded for this side.

Rear Cinematic mode explicitly supports up to 4K HDR at 30 fps. Cinematic video stabilisation is a separate feature.

Not verified for this exact model.

No source recorded for this side.

Uses the first local-video up-to claim, not the separate streamed-video or audio claim. It is not mixed-use endurance.

Typical capacity of the serial dual-cell pack (2 × 3000 mAh); rated 2 × 2920 mAh. Not a measured runtime.

The source describes a lithium-ion battery and endurance claims without stating mAh. Capacity is not reverse-calculated from playback.

OnePlus's 1–100% in 36 minutes lab test used the official SUPERVOOC Power Adapter with Smart Rapid Charging Mode turned on.

20W and30W describe adapter/test setups, not a published maximum handset input. The device-input field stays unknown.

No source recorded for this side.

Apple states up to 50% in around 30 minutes with an adapter rated at 20 W or higher and a USB-C cable. This is not full-charge time or a sustained charging rate.

The checked exact-model source omits a numeric refresh maximum. It remains unknown rather than being filled with an assumed 60Hz.

No source recorded for this side.

Neither storage capacity nor processor-core counts establish RAM capacity. No third-party estimate is substituted.

The UK specification lists a dual nano-SIM slot and does not mention a memory card slot either way.

Apple lists fixed internal storage options and no removable storage interface.

No source recorded for this side.

UWB is Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. These capabilities belong to UK A3287. Wi-Fi7/UWB availability and network/provider support remain region-dependent; no measured throughput is asserted.

End date from OnePlus's UK security-update period list; delivery can vary and chip-supplier patches may lag. The UK pages for the OnePlus 13 state no Android version-upgrade count.

The checked source lists iOS without a model-specific support end date or guaranteed future upgrade count. This is a disclosed gap, not a support-duration score.

Support is explicit. Language/region restrictions, iOS 27 English Siri AI beta and server-use limits remain; shared software eligibility is not a successor-only upgrade.

No source recorded for this side.

Uses the separately labelled audio duration; it is not video or mixed-use endurance.

No source recorded for this side.

Face ID is explicitly enabled by TrueDepth for facial recognition. Longer TrueDepth wording on another phone is not a new unlock method.

No source recorded for this side.

Camera Control is expressly identified in the physical model description, button list and camera section. Its absence on a contender cannot be assumed from missing evidence.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked iPhone16 specification does not identify the cellular modem. The Ultra Wideband chip is a separate component, and no third-party modem estimate is substituted.
