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

[mikeyteh]

Important to note that if you just go from 12 Pro Max 512GB to 13 Pro Max 512GB, you actually save $200. The 13 Pro Max 1TB option is priced at the same level as the 12 Pro Max 512GB

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.

And Nokia's phones like the N8 for 13 years.

Coming from 7+ this is not the update I was holding out for (USB-C) but my phone is just noticeably slow

Try completely reformatting (reflashing the current FW) it and NOT restoring any backup, except for non-appbackup data from iCloud. It will be a LOT faster. Same happened to my 1st gen iPad Pro - after several consequtive OTA FW updates, it became sluggish (in around 14.2). I've reformatted it and all the sluggishness has completely disappeared. Now I'm a happy camper again and don't see any point in upgrading to a newer model.

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.

Interesting, MY 7+ runs fine

One of the most boring years to be honest. Felt like the XS year, minus the launch of the Max which was exciting. Holding on to my 11 Pro for another year. Even the Series 7 Watch was less than exciting. The iPad Mini stole the show.

Cameras, battery, pro-motion.. wallet is ready for the beating it deserves!!

 

[aforty]

Variable Refresh Rate up to 120hz makes a lot of sense! Are any of the other phones doing that?

Must be the OTA updates, they really slow iDevices down.

Nice to get back to the "S" cycle (even though they aren't calling it that); cameras are appealing and 120hz will be interested. The $$$ is a bit steep for the 512

And where is “one more thing?”

 

[WhiteHawk]

Can someone explain the financing in the UK, it says Pay over 24 months at 0% APR on the store, but if I click the Learn More link it says APR 14.9%, so which is it? Sorry if this sounds dumb but not used to financing.

Not a ‘must have’ upgrade. Disappointed. Camera is a nice upgrade however overall the iPhone doesn’t excite if you have an iphone 11pro or 12 pro

BS Cinematic video is only at 1080. Considering 4K is kinda becoming the norm, and definitely more future-proof than 1080, it's a damn shame it only does 1080. I honestly don't plan on shooting 1080, so basically cinematic video is something I won't use on this. Maybe iPhone 14??? Beyond a few software tricks, it's very much an "S" version this year. One of the most disappointing I think. Apple was very careful comparing their chips to "the competition" versus their own hardware. Kinda makes me wonder just how much more powerful this is compared to the 12...

That’s always at the end, so I suppose one of the later events this year…

 

[naujoks]

I’m gonna pull the trigger anyways

That's what they're banking on.

 

[Htsi]

No faster charging or AOD is a slight bummer

 

[startergo]

Still no usb c.

MacMini has it...

 

[SnakeEater1993]

I was writing here on this site when people were saying' 'pro motion is a marketing gimmick'' that next year all of these people would say that pro motion is a deal-breaking feature...

 

[davidako]

Wait, this is an S year so why is it that pathetic? It’s faster and got more battery, basic things everyone wants.

It used to be a main year was a design change and S years were old design but new features like TouchID and Siri.

When did people start believing that an S year means absolutely nothing but whatever incremental improvements that Apple’s parts suppliers happen to offer?

iPhone is finally getting ProMotion display. No bronze colour. The new blue is very light. All the other colours are same. Last year's Pacific Blue looked better in my opinion. The battery life increase is good.

 

[caprica21]

No Touch ID??

 

[naujoks]

I read the article but I'm still unclear on what's changed.

 

[redbeard331]

Also no matte black, no squared-off Watch design, no astrophotography (unless I missed it). The leakers got a lot wrong this year. Misinformation campaign by Apple was in full effect.

Problem is that it seems Apple withheld almost every feature just to stick it to the leakers.

 

[startergo]

I'll wait for the trade-in promo deals. I have an 11 Pro Max and want at least a comparable 12/13 depending on the deals.

11 pro 256GB trade-in is 450 macmeanoffer's is 570. I bought mine a month ago for 850 (before taxes). Will wait more.

Good. Leakers deserve it. I miss the days when there were surprises at Apple events. Leaks ruin everything these days.
