And then at the end, we'll discuss the main point of this video: why it might be worth it to upgrade from the 12 Pro to the 13 Pro! And if you have an older device, why it might be worth the extra cash to go with this year's model. Enjoy!

@@chrish4801 it was a convenience thing. I checked swappa beforehand. At this point I wouldn’t be able to get more than that. The current cheapest is 875.

I’m upping from an XR. What’s most important to me are the camera lenses. I was a professional photographer and due to neurological issues have lost the ability to carry a gadget bag full of lenses etc. So, the 13 Pro Max looks like a great substitute for my gear, especially when I factor in the trade-in from Apple and the price I can get for my present photographic equipment. Am I going to miss my gear? Absolutely. But given the fact that I no longer can use it, I don’t have much choice.

I enjoyed your video. I upgraded from 12 Pro to 13 Pro Max and glad that I did. Blessings on your day.

13 Pro is great, but iOS 15 needs some work. There are several pesky little bugs that need to be fixed quickly

[@Archivist42]

Yeah I'm encountering some of those. Had tap to wake randomly stop working, and native apps that seem to take for ever to pull new data for some reason. Hardware seems solid, but software is a bit janky at the moment.

[@curaga0161]

There's another benefit to the larger camera bump on the 13 pro over the 12 pro, which is that it's easier to keep your finger out of the photos because there is a bigger bump in the back that your finger can rest against. I took so many pictures on the 12 pro max with a blurry finger visible in the bottom right corner :(.

The battery being way better is underrated Someone tested it along with iPhones from 11 . And he’s been testing a lot of phones . He said iPhone 13 pro max had the best battery BY A MILE. Including Samsung s21 . No more Apple battery jokes

[@bullyhuntr]

mine is absolutely stunning, i’ve had it for almost 2 weeks now and i haven’t once gotten under 50%

[@em4703]

If that test was done with the screen set at 60hz, it's irrelevant. And seeing how most of these people are on a paycheck, it wouldn't surprise me.

[@carlovillagracia3815]

Lol so now you’re gonna say it should be on 120hz . He didn’t put it on low power mode . And why would he try to up Apple . He tested the S21 and 13 pro max lasted 1.5 hours longer . The 13 pro max lasted 2.5 hours longer than the 12 from last year . Even if it was at 60hz that’s still damn impressive . Im jumping from the XS max and I can definitely tell the battery is waaaaay better .

[@carlovillagracia3815]

I’m not saying it was on 60hz btw . As far as I know it’s at 120hz . I’m just saying even if it was on 60, that’s damn impressive . The pro motion adaptive technology is already better than Samsungs . It can go as low as 10hz while Samsung stays around 40 at lowest as far as I’ve seen people say . And it stays at high HZ even when you’re just reading . The test was done on nonstop movement with games and videos btw so that’s without pro motion helping it in that situation . Imagine if it did either every day use . iPhone is clearly ahead right now .

[@artfartzy]

Hey Brandon what are you thinking about the lense flares in the camera that are still here on the iphone 13, just like it was on the 12 and 11? I don't think I ever heard you talk about it. A shame they didnt find a way to fix it for the 13. Now hoping it will be better on next years 14 with a new design.

[@jennasimms2721]

I actually agree with you on this. I got the 13 pro coming from a 10. I can barely feel the difference other then the camera and the battery life tbh. I will say the cameras are fantastic and you will definitely notice a big difference there and I am not even that big of a camera person. I don’t notice the 120hz much but it’s there. I will say the wifi range is actually worse on 13 pro. Not sure if I just got a lemon but it’s definitely 10-15% lower useable range and I my internet cellular signal seems slightly worse as far as usable range when I am at low cellular signal area( 1bar Verizon) I would definitely hold out for 14 if you don’t care about cameras.

For someone who has an iPhone 12 Pro Max, I’m considering upgrading(or maybe even downgrading in this case, size wise) to an iPhone 13 Pro, mainly for the weight alone and also better screen. Has anyone here been in this situation? I don’t leave the house a lot, since I’m working remote, but when I do go out and I’m wearing gym shorts or something similar, sometimes I feel like there’s so much weight it’s weighing down my shorts and makes them slip down. Obviously that isn’t a problem when I wear regular shorts, etc, but when I’m at home it’s definitely noticeable and I find myself even putting my phone in the top part of a buggy when at Target, etc. I do love the huge screen and battery life, and battery life is important to me, but I’m also getting an iPad Pro in about a month so I don’t know if that will help with browsing when I want to. Currently, I use my phone for everything from web browsing to social media, photos, and looking stuff up and media consumption. I do use it a lot on the go and don’t know if I’d miss the battery life in the long term, but If anyone has any tips or has been in this situation, I’d definitely appreciate it!

Just received my iPhone 13 Pro a few days ago. I've come from a S21 Ultra, to be honest the reason I decided to make the change was due to the size of the phone. Before owning the S21 Ultra I always owned smaller phones so I am glad to have gone back to something that fits nicely in my pocket. I know some will disagree but I was not very keen on the camera/photo qualities of the S21 Ultra. Although the zoom is amazing, I felt most photos had way too much sharpening. Try setting up your TV up to 100% sharpness and you will see a lot of noise in edges, this is exactly the same with the S21 Ultra. The 108mp mode fixes this but each image just takes up too much room. I am happy to report that photos actually look more natural and balanced on the iPhone. That over the top sharpness is gone and I do not miss it. I am not sure if its just an exynos thing as I live in the UK. Battery life and the 120hz have been nice although I already experienced those before thanks to the S21 Ultra. All in all, I think the iPhone 13 Pro is the sweetspot for me. I am not going back to phablets!

[@shawng4886]

Honestly, Apple did such a good job with the 12 Pro that I just don’t see a reason to upgrade… when I’m working, I murder my phone with usage and my 12 Pro generally gets me into the evening before needing a charge which is very respectable. The camera is amazing and the A14 is seriously a beast. The phone just does not stutter. I’ll be hanging onto my 12 Pro til the 14 drops. Which is weird for me to say because I’m a tech guy. But I just don’t see it… It’s also interesting that it seems like people are really trying to hype the 13’s this year… kind of makes me curious if Apple is reaching out to people for hype videos… Honestly, I’m good with my 12 Pro. It’s a really good phone! And now I’m VERY interested to see what they do with the 14!

[@paganguy77]

I have been thinking the same thing about the amount of hype of the 13 over the 12. Coming from a 10 or less, sure, but cmon, the average person isn’t going to notice the difference that much between the last two models. But if tech folks don’t come up with content, they don’t make money, so suddenly the differences are “definitely worth upgrading from last year. I’ve upgraded Pro Max the past several years, but this year I managed to resist Apple’s crack marketing. I’ll be ready next year.
