📱 Will Screen Protector for iPhone 12 Series Work on iPhone 13 Series?
If you're upgrading from an iPhone 12 to an iPhone 13—or reselling accessories—you might ask:
Can a screen protector for iPhone 12 still work on iPhone 13?
Let’s explore the answer with actual model dimensions and usage advice.
📏 iPhone 12 vs iPhone 13 Series: Model-by-Model Comparison
| Model | iPhone 12 Dimensions | iPhone 13 Dimensions | Compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 12 | 146.7 × 71.5 × 7.4 mm | 146.7 × 71.5 × 7.65 mm | ✅ Fully Compatible |
| iPhone 12 mini | 131.5 × 64.2 × 7.4 mm | 131.5 × 64.2 × 7.65 mm | ✅ Fully Compatible |
| iPhone 12 Pro | 146.7 × 71.5 × 7.4 mm | 146.7 × 71.5 × 7.65 mm | ✅ Mostly Compatible |
| iPhone 12 Pro Max | 160.8 × 78.1 × 7.4 mm | 160.8 × 78.1 × 7.65 mm | ✅ Mostly Compatible |
📌 Note: All screen sizes are the same between iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models:
-
Mini: 5.4"
-
Standard/Pro: 6.1"
-
Pro Max: 6.7"
🧠 What’s Different Between iPhone 12 & 13?
Although the screen sizes are identical, here are the subtle differences:
-
📸 Front camera & sensor position on iPhone 13 is slightly shifted
-
🔘 Notch size on iPhone 13 is narrower (20% smaller)
-
📐 Slightly thicker body (but screen face remains flat)
These differences don’t typically impact screen protectors, but may slightly misalign cutouts for camera or speaker.
✅ So... Do They Fit?
Yes—iPhone 12 screen protectors will work on iPhone 13 models, in most cases, especially:
-
For edge-to-edge full coverage glass
-
Without precise notch or sensor cutouts
-
For privacy or matte protectors with a standard cut
⚠️ However, for perfect alignment, especially on iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max, it’s best to use updated protectors made for iPhone 13.
🛒 Best Option: Use iPhone 13-Specific Screen Protectors
Even though the fit is similar, we recommend:
-
✅ Use screen protectors labeled specifically for iPhone 13
-
🧩 Especially for Face ID accuracy and notch alignment
-
💡 For brands/wholesalers: stocking model-specific protectors avoids returns
