Do iPhone 11/ 12 cases fit the iPhone 13?

Many people are purchasing the newly launched iPhone 14 whereas there are some people who believe the iPhone 14 hasn’t launched with many significant futures and thinks the iPhone 13 is just as advanced. The launch of the iPhone 14 has also made the ‘13 less expensive if not cheap. So many people opt for the iPhone 13 over the newly launched one. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 also look a lot similar. And so do the 11 and 12 (in size). But do their cases fit each other? Do iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 covers fit the iPhone 13?

Will The iPhone 13 fit in the older iPhone 11/ 12 Cases?

Well, let’s look further into it.

The Size

iPhone 11, iPhone 12 & iPhone 13 share the same screen size of 6.1 inches, which is why it is obvious for people to assume they all might be able to share the same phone cover.

But, they all differ in full dimensions. Three of them measure like the following…

iPhone 11: 5.94 inches(height), 2.98 inches(width), 0.33 inches(depth)

iPhone 12: 5.78 inches(height), 2.82 inches(width), 0.29 inches(depth)

iPhone 13: 5.78 inches(height), 2.82 inches(width), 0.20 inches(depth)

iPhone 11 promax: 6.22 inches(height), 3.06 inches(width)

iPhone 12 & 13 promax: 6.33 inches(height), 3.07 inches in(width)

iPhone 11 pro: 5.67 inches(height), 2.81 inches(width)

iPhone 12 & 13 pro: 5.78 inches(height), 2.82 inches(width)

The details above state that iPhone 11 differs from 12 and 13 in all height, width and depth. Whereas, iPhone 12 series shares the same height and width as the iPhone 13 series and the only difference is the depth between them which also makes a difference when it comes to sharing the same cover for iPhone 12 cover and iPhone 13 cover.

The Back camera

The iPhone 13 back camera design is significantly different from the iPhone 11 and 12. The iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 two lenses are aligned vertically on the left, whereas the iPhone 13 has the lenses diagonally aligned. The top lens is on the left and the lens below is on the right.

The iPhone 13 pro and promax have 3 lenses just like iPhone 11 & 12 pro and promax. Although the lenses on iPhone 13 pro and promax are slightly bigger than the others. So, the chances are the back cameras will make a difference between the iPhone 12 back cover and iPhone 13 back cover.

So, now let’s get back to the questions.

Will The iPhone 11 Case Fit The iPhone 13?

Let’s compare the difference between the two. The iPhone 11 case fit the iPhone 13 series mainly differs in full sizes. The difference may seem subtle while looking at the number but that mere difference makes a big difference when it comes to the fit of your iPhone case.

The iPhone 11 back cover will obviously be slightly bigger than the iPhone 13 cover case. The cases for iPhone 11 may be able to cover your iPhone 13 but they won't fit perfectly to it and that may weaken your phone’s protectivity. So, the answer is, No. The iPhone 11 covers won’t fit your upgraded model.

Will The iPhone 12 Case Fit The iPhone 13?

Well, the iPhone 12 models and the iPhone 13 models share the same height and width, but they do not share the same depth. Even the back cameras for both are aligned differently. Even, the lenses on the iphone 13 pro and promax are slightly bigger than the ones on the iPhone 12 models.

So, the answer is again, No. Your iPhone 12 pro and promax cases won’t fit the iPhone 13 pro and promax cases. However, the iPhone 12 and 13 have their lenses aligned differently from the back camera, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 have the same lens size. So, it is possible that some iPhone 12 mobile cover might fit the iPhone 13. But it will still not be a perfect snuggle because of the difference in depth both the phones share.

Bottom Line

There is a slight chance your iPhone 12 case will fit your iPhone 13. But No other case will fit the iPhone 13 models. So, we suggest if you are planning to invest in a new model from the iPhone 13 series, you must consider buying a case that perfectly fits your new phone. You must protect your expensive iPhone with a reasonably priced iPhone cover to make it last longer.
