New Delhi: As anticipated, Apple iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro were announced in a new green colour variant at Apple's Peek Performance event late on Tuesday. Apple will be releasing the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro in a new green shade and they can be preordered now, but they will become available starting March 18. The iPhone 13 gets a new green colour while the iPhone 13 Pro gets an Alpine Green colour variant.
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini also come with Super Retina XDR display while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max feature a Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion featuring an adaptive refresh rate from 10Hz up to 120Hz. The new alpine green iPhone 13 Pro and green iPhone 13 will be available for pre-order starting Friday, March 11, with availability starting Friday, March 18.
“People love the design of iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13, and we’re excited to unveil the stunning new alpine green and green finishes, which join the wide range of beautiful colors on the iPhone 13 lineup,” Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, said in a statement.
“These new colors give customers even more options when choosing their iPhone, and we can’t wait for them to take advantage of all the iPhone 13 lineup offers, including unmatched performance with A15 Bionic, our best camera systems, massive improvements to battery life for everyday needs, fast 5G, incredible durability, and so much more.”
It should be noted that this is not the first time the iPhone maker has added a new colour option in a mid refresh cycle -- the company has launched new iPhone colour option months after the device's launch with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini.

However, the company did not unveil a green variant of the iPhone 13 when it launched in the fall of 2021.
