iPhone 13 Pro Max REVIEW [Shot on iPhone]

I've switched to the iPhone 13 Pro Max - but does it live up to the hype, are the camera upgrades useful, is it time to jump ship from Android, and should you buy the 13 Pro Max?

Hey Chaps! What did you make of the iPhone's footage for filming this video? Reckon I should chuck my A7Siii in the bin? 😅 Update 1: ProRes is coming to all Pros, but only 1080p for 128gb models Update 2: happy to hear Apple will soon add a lens lock feature so camera doesn’t keep switching between wide/UW

Where is the touch id and why u reviewer guys didnt protest it as it lacks a major feature and assist in spreading diseases that should be banned ?

[@mikecoshan3752]

Great review Tom, I love the new macro feature but not enough to upgrade from my 12 pro max. I think Apple still has a fairway to go to beat the s21 ultra, the video features are really good on the 13 pro/max but I’d hold off on chucking your A7Siii just yet lol. (As to the size I prefer max models as I have large hands)

[@trevwright93]

I’m glad I watched this review. I’ve been watching a lot of iPhone PM reviews this past week and I typically agree with everything, and every video just reaffirms my desire for the PM. But what I didn’t agree with is when he said he wished for more customization options. I’m currently using the iPhone 11 PM and one of the biggest things that I LOVE about this phone is actually the LACK of customizations. It’s sort of a breath of fresh air when I transitioned from Samsung to Apple because I didn’t have all these things I needed to turn off and on, and things to make my phone “my own.” If Apple started taking more pages from everyone else’s book, they wouldn’t really be standing out anymore because they’d be a mix of this and that, and sometimes, that’s too much. I don’t think we need so many customization options, but that’s just me. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this video!

[@johngoldsmith5084]

This old man (and for 60+ years tech gadget lover) agrees 100% One of the great things about modern tech is how almost every aspect of being in "auto mode" has improved: auto focus, iris, volume, stabilization and beyond hand-held, auto driving and flying. I for one (or with Trevor, I for two) am perfectly happy leaving more chores up to the camera so I can focus on picture composition, content etc. Just like having the Tesla do the driving has allowed me to enjoy scenery I never knew existed.

[@rxpt0rs]

The battery life is the most exciting thing for me! More flagships need a battery this good.

[@User-cb4jm]

iPhones have always extracted the most out of every mah, but for far too long have been too conservative with the batteries. When they stick in a battery the same sized as an Android flagship (~4300mah), or if they dared to go 5000mah they will end up with a competitive advantage due to the hardware wall that everyone must comply with but has optimisations and efficiency like no other device.

[@domilesespartan3287]

@@User-cb4jm The price will go more higher though.... the amount of money Apple put into building their chipset is way more excessive therefore it compliments the cost Android put into putting 12gb ram n bigger battery into their phones.

Ordered purely because of the battery life, if it's anything within this ballpark I would be really pleased. I'm surprised idc about the camera stuff nor did the 120hz upgrade speak to me that much.

I‘m a lot into photography especially when it comes down to macro. Therefore, I‘m really excited about the updated camera system on the iPhone 13. What I actually saw on your phone is that the apps don‘t seem to fit the new aspect ratio of the screen. That‘s the point I sold my iPad Pro 11, since some of my fav apps never got a proper update for this side ratio. Hopefully this won‘t be an issue for the new lineup. Btw nice vid - thanks a lot!

[@SpawnPoiint]

Great choice mate! I think using an iPhone for creating content has never been easier, and the results are insane. I might have to try it out 😅 The 120Hz, ProRes (when we get it), Cinematic mode, better cameras and battery are worth the upgrade personally.

I can enjoy the better life of the 13 Pro Max. I left Apple when the Note 10 Plus came out 2yrs ago. I'm still getting the same battery life as I did 2yrs ago, a day & then some on max settings. I don't care about cameras & refresh rate. I'm waiting for the next Note to be Released. Whether that's 1 or 3yrs from now. I know my Note 10+ will last easily. iPhones batteries start to drain after 6 months & just get worse..Not an Apple Fan or Samsung Fan.. Just like a great phone that has given me a single issue in 2yrs.

Excellent. This helps my decision and it’s the 13 Pro Max for me. I see the camera phone race becoming very competitive which is great for us consumers.

Completely shocked that this was filmed on a 13 Pro. I honestly would not have known had you not have said anything. Went with the 13 Pro Max and not sure if I want to keep that or go to the 13 Pro as the size is a bit too big for me but the battery life is...omg.

[@kencarp57]

Great video! You earned a new sub with bell with this one! The video looks GREAT to my perhaps not-so-discerning old eyes. I have an iPhone X that I bought right when the X came out, and it has served me very well. It's still pretty snappy, and I don't really notice any significant lags using it for what I use for - including watching LOTS of YT videos. Your video pretty much convinced me that if I upgrade to the iPhone 13, it will be to the 13 Pro - not the Pro Max. I've also watched all of Arun's videos on the iPhone 13. My wife has an iPhone XR (I think... I can't keep all of the models straight!)... anyway it's the BIG one because she likes the big screen. That phone is just NOT comfortable for me to hold at all, and it's not really very pocketable at all. My iPhone X is the perfect size for me because it's easy to hold and use, and the battery would be a HUGE improvement over my iPhone X's aging battery that struggles to make it through several hours since charging. It's very pocketable, and the 13 Pro is in that same size range.. My biggest challenge now is deciding whether to spring for the 13 Pro now, or make do with my X for another year until the NEXT iPhone gen arrives. Hopefully that will be a truly compelling watershed moment. I have pretty much become fed up with the "upgrade every year or two because the new iPhones are just SO much better than what I have now" life. I would LOVE to have all of the new camera functions of the 13 Pro, and the much better battery life. I can get the 13 Pro by upgrading my Verizon iPhone X for $16-something/mo for the 512GB 13 Pro, or $20-something/mo for the 1TB 13 Pro. In that regard, an extra $20/mo to get the massively-better 13 Pro 1TB seems a no-brainer. Maybe I just convinced myself to do it. BUT, I would also need a new case, new screen protector, and new charger - which is about $150 or so additional cost.

[@peakproofuk]

Really good review. Didn’t know 60fps was still adaptive. The only thing I’d challenge is this narrative that Apple ‘make stuff thinner’. The iPhone has either stayed the same or got thicker, mostly the latter, for at least 5 years now. From 6 through 7, 8, X, 11 and 12 there’s been a steady fattening.

[@DontTurnAround]

Is there a shutter issue? Or was I the only one who thought the visual wasn't smooth enough? Or does that have something to do with shooting at 60fps?

[@lucidmemes8375]

I noticed that too. I think it's because of the 60fps thing because the video was only shot in 30fps cinematic mode. could also just be an editing mistake.

[@tyleralmquist7606]

An important thing to remember about the night photos on the iPhone 13 is that unlike most Androids, it defaults to between 1 and 3 seconds rather than 3 to 10. In Mrwhosetheboss’s video, he originally thought they were comparable, but then showed the iphone13 photos when forcing it to take 10 second photos. When you do that, it is leagues ahead of any other phone on the market

Great vlog as always Tom. Fair and honest 👏👏 I’m also swapping my s21 Ultra for the 13 Pro. Will miss the zoom for sure but enjoy the eco system with Apple 🍏 However keeping an eye out for the Pixel 6 📱😉

[@aronwilliams6177]

Honestlyjust bought an s21u love the cameras and customisationbut ill be upgrading to the 14 pro max next year i like the eco system and the way ios is optimised its just smoother

[@welshlad6427]

@@aronwilliams6177 cameras on the s21 Ultra are excellent. The zoom capability definitely gives it more flexibility. Am going to miss that feature for sure. The 13 Pro I’m looking forward to getting because of iOS and the eco system and also the size of the phone. The Ultra is just too big. I do wish Samsung would give too specs to the smaller version also. Enjoy the Ultra buddy 👍🏻📱

This is really great video! Different than other iPhone 13 Pro videos. Well done!

[@logoutjason4689]

Imo, the most impressive thing was the standard 4k footage of him sitting by the computer narrating the video. It shows that this can be used convincingly as a pro camera to record simple youtube videos.

[@Thetechchap]

Actually that was 1080p30 cinematic mode (all the talking head parts)

[@HiCZoK]

The cinematic mode looks amazing. They just need to fix the blurriness around the focused object

Apple has recently patented for video compression using LiDAR because that data is big...and 3nm chip using 3D fabric tech for A16 will solve that alongside what Apple is trying to do with their patent for LiDAR data compression for videos.

[@DALEXTV12]

I also noticed that and came here to see if anyone else noticed how horrible it looked. but still a great phone though. Already pre-ordered one!

[@mackspace89]

Great tech talk filmed awesome in a 13pro wonderful lighting and clear speaker I picked up the 13pro switch from an 8+ was just to big in my pocket

[@krishnar3493]

Excellent work, thank you.

[@howlingdakota]

I completely agree about the 13Pro and the Apple eco system in being the main reason I finally moved entirely over from Android to Apple. I used to be a staunch Android guy but I’m not looking back now as everything is working perfectly for my work flow and just daily life 👌🏼

[@rafikz77]

Same here

[@rhysacole]

I’m moving from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro. I’ve always gone for larger phones but found the 12 Pro Max too heavy for extended use, and the 13 Pro Max is heavier again!

[@fdsaffff]

iphone se 1st gen is like angel to use haha

[@jahmanidennis6805]

Get the 13 pro that's what I'm doing

[@realakestate]

I agree I'm getting the 13 pro as well. The 12 pro max is already big enough!

[@jordanglenna5136]

Video quality was fantastic! I’ll be waiting for next year’s model with a whole new design (I hope).

[@AverageDadOfficial]

Hey, great video as always. I am constantly having issues on FCP with the iPhone HDR video. What is it i need to do in order for the video file to look normal? Thanks

[@vikhneshar104]

I did figured that this was shot on the iPhone But damm that is good Cinematic mode is good , it needs a bit more work but its good i can't wait to see where would it get in 2-3years The footage from the iPhone is a bit Red'ish i am not a fan of that

[@aninwaloda6759]

Yellowish as always , i do prefer Pixels shots.

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@aninwaloda6759 you can change that with photographic styles

Cinematic is where portrait mode was couple of years ago. It will also be perfect in a couple of years.

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

For having a Lidar sensor, there are still some depth estimation errors in video, especially around the hair.

[@aaryandabra01]

Thinking of going up to the 13 Pro/Pro Max from my current 12 Pro, really want that better camera, bigger battery and 120Hz

[@Thetechchap]

It's tempting, but i don't think it's worth it over the 12 pro max tbh

[@TemplarLove]

I don't think is worth the upgrade if you coming from 12 pro. I just recontact my line for iphone 13 pm and sold it away on the same day because my 11 pm still working like a champ. ps. sold at RRP and I could come back around 4 months time and it'd gonna be cheaper as well.

have the 11 pro max, is it worth upgrading to the 13 pro max?

[@birminghamcity127]

Nice video mate xx what the place called you where shooting in please ?

[@Anakena3]

Loved your review! I actually have 11 Pro Max. When you get the money for it : best thing to do for testing is to take it for the kinda “two weeks trial” which I’m doing right now. I took the 13 pro as the max are getting really bulky these days. Not a giant leap IMO, but many small improvements would say. Macro is really amazing, everything is smouth (120) speaker is better l, rear flashlight is brighter, speaker is louder and clearer, photo is crispier, GOS accuracy is similar, but for everyday use the 11 pro was really satisfying. So not sure if the huge cost is worth the change to be honest. I mean it’s better in so many ways but the price tag is Max too :)

If Cinematic mode keeps improving like they did with Portrait mode, I do see DSLR's becoming obsolete for small video production-cases like this.
