Xperia 1 III features a much better storage to install applications and games than Apple iPhone 13, because it has a slot for external memory cards that supports a maximum of 1 TB and 128 GB more internal storage.

Xperia 1 III counts with a much better battery performance than Apple iPhone 13, because it has 4500mAh of battery capacity.
The Xperia 1 III takes a little bit better videos and photos than iPhone 13, because although it has a smaller diafragm aperture which is not recommended for low-light photography and video, and they both have the same (4K) video resolution and a back camera with a 12 MP resolution, the Xperia 1 III also counts with better video frame rate.
Although Xperia 1 III is a better device, it is way more expensive than iPhone 13, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as iPhone 13. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can buy iPhone 13, and give up a couple features, but you'll get the most out of your money.
