Apple Unveils iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max With ProMotion Displays and Up to 1TB Storage

Green leather case already ordered from Apple, gonna look slick with the gold 13 Pro! SO excited. Seems many companies already have compatible screen protectors on Amazon, too. Ordered.

I'm in. Have held onto my Xs for a few years now, but this is enough of a difference to make the leap. Better screen, 6x optical zoom, much faster processor, ability to achieve bokeh in video. And all the interim increases in photography since my model. It's time. Apple, I'm giving some of your dividends back to you for this nice piece of hardware, in Sierra Blue.

Yeah but the bokeh is limited to 1080. You like shooting in 1080 still?

Pretty psyched to see how the camera on the 13 Pro/Pro Max stacks up compared to the iPhone 8. Gonna be weird to have a camera like that in my pocket, one that I always have on me anyway

 

[Dave00]

oh yea... it just plummeted...

Always the same. Stock runs up to the new hardware release, falls after the announcement, and then promptly runs back up again. If you're paying attention, NOW is the time to add to your position.

Macro photo is main reason I will upgrade from 12PM-which has horrid minimum focal distance.

 

[Aleh]

Great point. I didn't even think of this. "How do we get more battery life in our hype machine?" "We reduce it every other year, and then to great applause, give it back the opposite years and market is as 25% more battery life than before."

It’s still better than the 11 lineup though? What a silly argument.

 

[Adamhwi]

Even the Execs had a "Yeah, I know it's not that awesome this year, so don't judge me." look on their face the entire time. Even they didn't appear to be all that thrilled lol.

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Can't believe no word about improved FaceID. Thought there was proof they were testing it? Maybe that's for next year's phone.

 

[Rocko99991]

Macro now 😭😭

Yes! Can't wait for this.

i was being sarcastic though

why only the new mini says this:

• All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple service provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/batteries and apple.com/iphone/battery.html for more information.

that means??? anybody can explain me? I'm thinking buy the 13 mini.

All that means is your usage will affect your battery life. Also, the it means that eventually, depending on how many times your recharge your battery, the battery will need to be replaced. Pretty standard language.

 

[alexandr]

Someone's made massive mistake and keeps calling it the 13 on the website!

The proper name is the 12S.

yes, and iphone 8 was actually 7s, but as they went in another direction — we should give it a rest

 

[cmaier]

Unfortunately I think you're right. Not looking forward to trying to sync 200GB of content over wifi....

Maybe MagSafe will become an inductive data port, or we’ll get smart connectors or something.

 

[alexandr]

Who are you to make a personal attack on someones financial situation over their opinion on wether or not they will upgrade to a new phone? Go place your misguided insecurities somewhere else, they are not needed or warranted here.

i'll pay you to remove your negative comment about me

 

[Taz Mangus]

Some people

Interesting that you removed that bit from your post. Implies that maybe you don't really care either. 😜

 

[Lemon Olive]

You can almost hear them saying ***** how do we make this different than last year. Mediocre update. No wow

I guess you've never used a ProMotion iPad.

 

[acousticbiker]

Nice to have 3x optical on 13 Pro but weird that for 2x zoom scenario a 12 Pro will be better (optical) than a 13 Pro (digital). And still a bummer that there is no optical zoom option on the mini

 

[quaresma]

Zzzzz…. nothing new. Hate me all you want, but its the same thing again: faster CPU/GPU and better cameras

 

[coolfactor]

Sure is depressing reading these comments. Apple delivers top-knotch technology and people still complain. What a bunch of spoiled brats!

Way to go, Apple. You've done it again. The industry will continue chasing you.

 

[Allyance]

oh yea... it just plummeted...

It has done this after many events, but always comes back higher. Been a stock holder for the last 8 years and it has provided the additional income I need on my SSI income. (i am fully retired)

 

[soloer]

From a XS Pro or older, absolutely yes.

Maybe.. I’ve got an XS and am not really seeing a reason to upgrade. I mean there are a couple “it’d be nice” features, but nothing that is making me want to spend $1k right now.

 

[cmaier]

Well that sealed the deal for me. I’m keeping my 12 Pro Max. Pro Motion doesn’t make me want to splurge again this year. This was definitely a S model upgrade year.

No it wasn’t. S model years were always the years that the best new features arrived. It was the non-S years where nothing changed other than the shape.

4S added Siri, 5s added Touch ID and dual flash, 6S added 3D touch, etc.

 

[cmaier]

The feature I was looking forward to was video with bokeh, or the "Cinematic Video." But since it's only 1080P, I won't be using it. Grr couldn't Apple have enabled this for 4K??? Oh wait, that's the new innovative feature for the iPhone 14 *eye roll*

The amount of memory and performance necessary to store and process 4k depth maps is extraordinary. They just aren’t there yet.

yea, i was being sarcastic. i was fortunate enough to buy apple right before their stock shot up about 2 years ago.

 

[DJJAZZYJET]

Pro-motion is the only reason I’m upgrading from the 12 Pro Max this year - have been waiting years.
