Love my 13PM. It's a darn nice phone. I use it all day, and I usually have at least 60% or more battery left when I go to bed. I am up at 5am or earlier and usually in bed by 9 or 10 pm. I charge my phone overnight, as I use it for a nightstand alarm clock and white noise. During the day, I listen to a lot of music with YTM and my APP's 2, I check emails, watch some YT videos, take and edit photos (takes great pics) and videos, pay bills and make purchases, send and receive texts, web surf and search stuff on Safari or Chrome, read news, and all the other normal things we do with our phones, like make and receive phone calls. I bought my 13PM July 2022 new at the Apple store. It still has its original battery, and is at 88% battery health, so I'll probably just replace the battery sometime later this year and keep it a couple more years. I also have had a case and screen protector on it from the beginning, so it still looks brand new. Best phone I've ever had.

Look like the single biggest factor to keep battery health is never let it gets close to 20%. Seem like even keep charging to 100% overnight doesn’t hurt much.

Well every couple of months I run it down, did it with my 13 PM and now with my 15 PM. Maybe this is wrong but I understood it helps re-calibrate the battery meter and - less sure about this - to let electrons to circulate through the whole battery gel. It's only ever 2-3 months and otherwise my battery very rarely gets down close to 20%. MY 13 PM was in good shape until I lost it as is my current phone.

Even compare with 16 pro, camera quality is similar. You need to zoom in to tell the difference
I agree 100%! My 13PM has given me thousands of the best photos ever over the past 2 1/2 years.

Great pics as always! Last one is kind of disturbing as it reminds me of 2020. I know it's probably some sort of seed maybe?
Thank you! Yeah, the last one is a pod from the Sweet Gum tree. I edited out the stem part with Affinity Photo 2 and my Apple Pencil on my iPad Pro, and then put it through an app called Color Splash.

Those Sweet Gum pods are a pain in the butt. They fall all over the place and aren't very pleasant to step on bare footed, or even with sandals or shoes on.

To be honest, I’m undecided about upgrading my iPhone 13 Pro to the 17 Pro this year. The decision hinges on several factors, including the new features introduced in the upcoming iOS 19, the RAM memory, storage options, price, faster wired charging capabilities compared to the current 16 Pro, and the color options. I would be thrilled if the 17 Pro supported Thunderbolt 4. Considering that the iPhone 13 Pro has 6 GB of RAM, it can easily last me until 2027 and beyond. Perhaps I should wait for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary in 2027. Time flies, and it’s not that long anymore.

I agree! 2027 is when my 5 year trade-up cycle comes. Keeping my fingers

for great upgrades and great colors. Not fond of the 16PM colors at all.
