iPhone 13 Pro Max 2.5 Years Later! Let me share with you my thoughts on it now with the latest software and my thoughts updated for 2.5 years, share your thoughts, questions, comments, and enjoy the review! 🎥😀

[@jtec99]

It's the one and only iPhone series that got me to try iOS out. I got the reg 13, still have it, just didn't want to jump in with both feet and spend the cash on the big boy. In hind sight, i should've grabbed the big boy. Android still destroys iOS though boys!

Had mine since June of 2022, and I gotta say the battery life and the performance of it is still amazing after almost 2 years.

July 2022 here, battery health is at 88% and still lasts me a full day. Honestly hasn’t slowed down since day 1 and it’s up to date, will probably upgrade when the 17 comes out next year.

Just bought a 13Pro Max on swappa. Being the last iPhone that the sim can be swapped. I'm liking it do far switching back and forth between android and iOS.

[@xanderestrada5584]

Exactly 2.5 years later the battery life on my 13 pro max is 82%. Im impressed no midrange android has lasted me A year and a half before having major sluggish and battery issues. It was my first iPhone and the switch was well worth it!

Hey Nick! Would you do a similar video for iPhone 13 Pro? Most of what you described in this video, I’m experiencing with my 13 Pro (battery 89% health, performance, etc). All the best! Thanks!

[@polo2008]

I have this one and it’s unbelievably fast, everything on this phone is awesome the weak point of this phone is a bit heavy, rather than that one of the best in market overall.

Using normal iPhone 13 RED 256! It has completed 2 years and battery health at 84% given i mostly use camera and lightroom app to the max! With the revision iOS 17.4.1 its running well. Battery is aging and showing signs of running out of battery life quicker. Over all still happy and serving my needs and my work demands!

[@sebestyen93]

I just bought an iphone 13 PM, and i love it. Before i had a 13 pro, it was wonderful, but the battery life was average, sometimes weak. I think the newer pro models are unnecessary, can't do more as like as the price reflects.

All of the 13’s are still great choices today. Much better value than any of the 15’s and not really lacking any features that the 15’s have at all, not much has really changed in 2 years.

[@Eric76]

The only issue is that the phone is extremely heavy when in the hand with a tight fitting case. I would encourage those who want to protect this handset to just put it into a wallet type case with a soft leather. The handset is beautiful and it has tremendous battery life after 25 months of me using it to date. The Max models have the best technical specs compared to any other smaller models.

[@recnepselyp]

Traded mine for the 15PM only because I got a $1000 trade in. Kinda still do miss my old 13PM.

[@wynnpercussion3504]

Upgrading to the 13 Pro Max from a XS Max (mostly due to it still having the physical SIM slot). I would also say if my charging port wouldn't have gone kaput on the XS Max, I would have used it for another 2 years or so before upgrading. Didn't feel the aging software effects of having an older phone at all. Was a great phone while it lasted

[@meathead207]

Yeah the Xs Max was a nice phone when it dropped. I’ll be keeping my 13 Pro Max until it’s no longer supported or until something doesn’t work anymore.

[@stevanb.2590]

Apple needs some serious magic when it comes to upcoming 16 series. Using 13 Pro/Max (except for dynamic island some heavy games reserved for 15 series) is almost the same as 15 Pro/Max. Premium build, great battery, top of the line cameras...13 Pro/Max is still great/safe choice, especially considering the price.
