Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Motorola Edge 70
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 has a far higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the Apple iPhone 13 Pro's 12MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and there's more battery in the Edge 5G 70, 4800mAh to 3095mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 13 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 512GB on the Edge 5G 70, and the Edge 5G 70 has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.1". Only pay up for the Edge 5G 70 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Pro is the cheaper buy at £249 SIM-free.
