iPhone 13 Pro Anyone went from 12 Pro Max to 13 Pro?

I want the 13PM but since it's on backorder right now, extremely tempted to just go for the 13 Pro since there's a whole bunch of stock at multiple Best Buys near me. How's adjusting to the smaller Pro, and how is battery life compared to 12PM?

I did.
Had always a max until now. The battery feels like a 12 Pro Max. No complaints so far. So go ahead

I did. It was a little bit odd the first 2 days because I‘ve had every single Plus iPhone since 6 Plus but now it feels so much better.

Battery is the same/ little bit better. Currently 19% with 8h SOT.

What made you decide to go for a pro vs max this time around?

WELL, I ended up going with a 13 Pro and just got back from Best Buy. It's nice to be able to handle the phone easily for once, and it finally fits in my Mini Cooper's wireless charging armrest so win-win.

Great to hear. But yes - handle the phone with one hand - this was my main reason this year. Especially since we got a baby last year I need one hand for the baby and one hand for the phone

I have the 12 PM, but just ordered a 13 Pro since the trade in value made it only $250 out of pocket including taxes, which is a great deal for something I definitely get more than $250 of value out of every year.

I started going with the larger iphone model with the 7 + having the dual camera system. Since the 7+, Apple has often given the larger model hardware advantages over the "normal" phone. This drove me to the larger phone until this year. With the 13 Pro having as good of a battery (if not even slightly better) as the 12 PM as well as the same hardware (including camera system), I feel I can finally go for the "normal" phone. I rarely watch media on my phone, and the bulk just isn't worth it as I get older.

I think it's really important to double down on the battery item. I just checked and the 13 Pro vs. X battery life is an improvement of ~ 70% according to Apple, which is significant.

Made the switch today - bit weird getting used to the size but will see how we go over the next few days.

Certainly more comfortable to use compared to the 12PM.

I traded my 12 PM for the 13 PM and out of curiosity, I decided to buy the 13 Pro and test it. I'm shock at how much smaller 13 Pro is after using the 12 PM and 13PM for so long. It's so tiny compare to the 13 PM. I'm having a hard time getting use to it. I bought the 13 Pro as a backup phone since I have an extra line for it .
