Apple has released new leather and silicone cases for iPhone 13 and 13 Pro. But could you use a case for the iPhone 12 or 12 Pro instead?

One of the benefits of Apple’s previous strategy of offering S-generations of iPhones was the fact that the cases of the predecessor would also fit the new devices.

You might think that the same would be true of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro: on paper the dimensions have hardly changed:

  • iPhone 12: 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.4mm
  • iPhone 13: 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.65mm
  • iPhone 12 Pro: 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.4mm
  • iPhone 13 Pro: 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.65mm

However, you will notice that the new iPhones are fractionally thicker. The difference might be indeterminable when holding the iPhones, but that difference of 0.15mm is likely to mean that iPhone 12 series cases will not fit the new iPhones.

You might try squashing the new iPhone into an old case thinking that it’s a close enough fit, but remember the reason you bought the case: to protect your iPhone. If the edge of the case doesn’t overlap the edge of your screen your iPhone won’t be protected.

That’s not the only difference. If you compare the back of the two devices you will see differences in the layout of the cameras.

In the case of the iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro the camera module is larger on the newer iPhone. Apple does not list any dimensions on its comparison page, but this can be seen by the position of the Apple logo. The logo is perfectly centered on the back of both models, but in the case of the camera module of the iPhone 13 Pro the logo is much closer to the camera section.

Want to buy one of Apple’s new cases? Here’s a selection:

  • iPhone 13 Silicone Case with MagSafe, £49/$49
  • iPhone 13 Clear Case with MagSafe, £49/$49
  • iPhone 13 Leather Case with MagSafe, £59/$59
  • iPhone 13 Pro Silicone Case with MagSafe, £49/$49
  • iPhone 13 Pro Clear Case with MagSafe, £49/$49
  • iPhone 13 Pro Leather Case with MagSafe, £59/$59

Read our round up of the best cases for iPhone 13.

So, the iPhone 12 cases won’t fit the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 13 cases will fit the iPhone 13 Pro right? Wrong!

To complete the confusion: an iPhone 13 case will not fit an iPhone 13 Pro due to the larger camera module discussed above.

So, while in 2020 an iPhone 12 case fit on an iPhone 12 Pro this is not the case in 2021.

We are pulling together an overview of the best iPhone 13 cases, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here’s: The best iPhone 12 and 12 Pro cases, but remember they are no good for the new iPhones!

Apple announced its entire iPhone 13 lineup this week — available for preorder this Friday (September 17) and they'll be available everywhere on September 24 — and they look very similar to its iPhone 12 lineup. All four new smartphones have flat edges and the same dimensions as their predecessors. They also work exactly the same with MagSafe.

If you're planning to upgrade your iPhone 12 to the new iPhone 13, you might think that you could use your old case with your new phone and save yourself some money — well, unfortunately it's not that simple.

Will iPhone 12 case fit on the iPhone 13?

Not perfectly. The overall dimensions of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are the same as the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini, but the camera array of the new smartphones is just a little bit wider — by millimeters — but it's enough to mean that the old cases won't fit. Also the side buttons are slightly lower on the new phone. You might be able to force it and find some luck with softer cases, but don't expect a perfect fit.

Will an iPhone 12 mini case fit on the iPhone 13 mini?

Also no. While the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini have perhaps the most similar bodies of any two models across the annual divide, the primary problem here is that the position of the side buttons on the iPhone 13 mini have moved, which renders iPhone 12 cases awkward on the new phone, despite otherwise very, very similar designs.

Do iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max cases fit on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max?

Apple has again changed the size of the camera module on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The camera bumps on the 13 are a few millimeters wider and taller than on the previous iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The result is that your old case won't fit on these new smartphones. Again, you might be able to force it, especially with softer cases, but know that you're going off the beaten path.

Does an iPhone 13 case fit on an iPhone 13 Pro?

You can probably guess the unfortunate answer. Unlike last year's iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, which were the same exact size and could use cases interchangeably, the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 Pro don't have the same size camera modules. The Pro's is much bigger — so you'll have to buy a specific case that's designed for that specific smartphone. You should, however, be able to fit an iPhone 13 Pro case on an iPhone 13.

Does the iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro use the same case?

Often, users ask questions like, “Can iPhone 13 Pro use iPhone 12 Pro case?” The answer to that is “No.” The reason is that the two phone models do not share the same size and have some differences that prevent the same case to be helpful for both.

Are iPhone Pro 12 and 13 cases the same?

Apple has again changed the size of the camera module on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The camera bumps on the 13 are a few millimeters wider and taller than on the previous iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. The result is that your old case won't fit on these new smartphones.

Are iPhone 12 Pro and 13 Pro the same size?

The height and width are identical on each device, at 5.78 and 2.82 inches, respectively. Both iPhones sport a ceramic-shield front and surgical-grade stainless steel. The iPhone 13 Pro is slightly deeper, and it weighs half an ounce more than the iPhone 12 Pro. This is likely to accommodate the larger battery.
