Apple Inc. is releasing its iPhone 13 lineup on Friday, testing whether new camera technology and aggressive carrier deals will get shoppers to snap up a modest update of last year’s model.

After the company began to take orders for the device on Sept 17, the new products – the iPhone 13, 13 mini, 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max – are now reaching stores and consumers.
