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

Same. I keep trying to convince myself there's a good reason to upgrade my 7+ but no iPhone since then can do anything more for me that the 7+ can't. Waiting on USB-C I guess.

Honestly, the 7+ is a great phone. My wife has the 12 and while is great, I really don't see a reason to upgrade. Yes, the new cameras are amazing, and if I was a filmmaker, sure. I just don't see it.
For me, the notch going away will be a huge incentive but I rather just save the money for another year or use it on the upcoming MBP M1X.

I really miss telephoto on my 12 coming from XS. I like those shots a lot. Other than that, Pro is al about the little things and niches.

The telephoto is a big draw for me. It may be the thing that gets me in the end.

Am upgrading from 12 Pro Max to 12s PRO MAX

 

[WhoDatWayne]

I will keep my 12 Pro Max for one more year. First year since original iPhone that I am not upgrading.

Same here

why ppl expect apple to ditch lightning lol. they make so much money off licensing every year. sure they change iPad , but lets be real, iPhone is their bread and butter and while I don't know exact figure, but its half , if not more of their revenue therefore they are not going to ditch it that easily.

also iPad position is different in term of the market

That’s silly. The reason they won’t switch is because the next time they change the port, which will start to happen in the next two years, they will change it by removing it.

Biggest upgrade on camera system, but still 12 mpx… great

12 mpx i am fine it is the 3 x zoom in that made me be like wtf.

I don't expect 100 times gimmick zoom in, but at least give us 5 times consider how much we use our phone camera now

Sierra Blue... Apple is dodging making a sleek green color iPhone so hard. But why?

I’m guessing they looked back on how greens sold vs blues and blue probably won by a lot. Most people I know say their favorite color is blue.

 

[alexandr]

wait 6x optical zoom? did i miss that?

 

[thisrocks]

Coming from 7+ this is not the update I was holding out for (USB-C) but my phone is just noticeably slow at least Apple has a decent trade in program. I have kept all my prior iPhones but I think my 13 pro will just be a stop-gap. Sad.

The telephoto is a big draw for me. It may be the thing that gets me in the end.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the one thing that might get me to pull the trigger. Still a little short for portraiture (at least for my taste), but it’s finally useful for a lot of situations where I otherwise would have to pull out my dedicated cameras.

My name is cliff. Pleased to meet you. My favorite color is orange.

Please update your statistics accordingly.

Nah total zoom range including ultra wide.

 

[cardfan]

So no more dilemma picking Max vs. Pro? You just get more battery and screen but don't lose out on major features? Hooray!

Yep. Gimped pro max now. Bigger phone with only power and features of a smaller phone.

Watched the presentation - had thought I'd upgrade my 11 Pro Max as display brightness is getting close to unusable outside - and my Apple Leather Folio is breaking apart.

At the end of the presentation I ordered a "used almost like new" Apple Leather Folio...

The telephoto is a big draw for me. It may be the thing that gets me in the end.

It’s just such a price gap. Oh well.

 

[GizmoDVD]

$500 for an 11 Pro Max + $500 in credits over 24 months at T Mobile makes it always free..

But you hav to have Magenta Max plan?

 

[Pixelspeeper]

Okay, now I get why Apple wants their employees back at the campus. They clearly did nothing the entire year in lockdown. Steve Jobs would have them whipped for this 😅

 

[1BadManVan]

Was there no night mode for video this year either? Obviously low light video will improve from the physical camera upgrades.

 

[alexandr]

Nah total zoom range including ultra wide.

so... how does that work exactly? if i'm taking a picture on the street, i can zoom in 6 times? or did they just multiply the 2 optical zooms that they've got on different lenses?.. sorry to be so ignorant, but this isn't clear to me

 

[Juandagis]

Boring!

 

[Kylo83]

Promotion isn’t the same as the iPad if you scroll slowly it will be lower than now we have static 60hz but it will scroll at 10 hz so actually not as smooth

 

[Kylo83]

Every year the same all the hype before then a let down after

 

[dsburfitt]

The pro-motion is nice but what if they could slow it down more and give us an always-on-display that the droids have touted for what feels like centuries.

 

[MallardDuck]

That’s silly. The reason they won’t switch is because the next time they change the port, which will start to happen in the next two years, they will change it by removing it.

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

 

[briansanderson]

Will stick with 12 pro max for one more year. Pretty underwhelming update this year.
