Top-end cycling computers are very, very expensive.\u00a0The flagship Garmin Edge 1050 is a whopping \u00a3649.99 \/ $699.99 \/ \u20ac699.99 \u2013 that\u2019s the same as you\u2019d pay for an iPhone 13.\u00a0<\/p>

While the iPhone 13 isn’t Apple’s latest model, it\u2019s still an incredibly powerful and versatile piece of tech.<\/p>

In this head-to-head, we\u2019ll break down whether the Garmin Edge 1050<\/a> or an iPhone is the better tool for your cycling computer<\/a> needs.<\/p>
