I've been holding onto my X for the same reason. At almost 4 years I still love that damn phone. I've saved a lot of money waiting for the return of Touch ID. Maybe I'll go for 5. 😅
Got a tip for us?

Bloomberg: iPhone 13 to Feature ProRes for Videos, ProMotion Displays, Portrait Mode Video, Smaller Notch, and More

I still have the Xs and I’m convinced I don’t need an upgrade yet.
The main features I would for sure upgrade is if the notch and/or lightning charger were removed, neither of which aren’t likely to happen for a few more years at least.
I’ve recently purchased an iPhone 12 Pro Max after selling a high end Android with a 120Hz display and an excellent under screen fingerprint sensor.
I prefer FaceID but it not working when wearing a mask is a pain, especially when using Apple Pay. Personally I wasn’t too bothered with 120Hz, especially with the battery hit that it involves but I would skip iPhone 13 unless it had Touch ID.
This sounds like another incremental update.

They better put in a better battery than they put in the 12's then.
Oh. Had no plans of upgrading this year.
Now they got me thinking....

13 SHOULD..at least rumored to have larger batteries than the 12's, and I would hope better quality batteries. (I won't go off on my thoughts about these 12 batteries, thats a whole other thread)
Always on display, not a deal breaker for me. Honestly I might worry about potentially faster OLED screen burn if that was always on.
ProRes RAW requires capture to an external device, such as an Atomos Ninja V. I am not sure any current or upcoming DSLR is capable of capturing ProRes RAW internally at this time. Not to mention the storage requirements for capturing 10-bit Dolby Vision ProRes RAW would fill up the iPhone insanely fast. Give it another 2-3 years and who knows. I suspect this ProRes will be some existing flavor geared towards smaller file sizes or bit rates (ProRes 422) or a new flavor of ProRes to take advantage of the Dolby Vision capture from the iPhone. Excited, nonetheless.
I hate these 'software features tied to hardware' that Apple does now. I get it, there is barely any hardware innovation anymore. But 90% of those software features work on all kinds of devices. No need for a 13 Pro Max.
(same goes for the current devices. ProRAW for "Pro" devices only? hahaha. The 12 Pro and 12 have the same sensor, same processor, same everything...)

When it’s belief in the face of overwhelming evidence, I think the correct term is stupidity.
I don’t like all of this AI stuff being applied in real time to photos and videos.
What if Apple is pressured into doing something nepharious with it? How would we know? And why are they using CPU cycles and storage on MY phone to do it?
There’s potential for a slippery slurpee.

Nope, I mean “and more? Oh god what has Tim done now!”
RED patents forbid internal capture for ProRes RAW, that's why it's only supported on external devices for now, its a way to circumvent this restriction.
And regular Prores requires the same space as the PR RAW plus it was always 10bit.
Yeah I suspect they won't go with the 422 flavour but more of the LT.
Dolby Vision is just metadata that tells to the screen how much will increase it's brightness to display the HDR video properly.
I am also very excited, that would be extremely useful to have good quality recordings in places you can't use a proper camera.
Is there currently any format/support that would allow this information to be saved? Like you could adjust the bokeh in editing later? Or generate your own 3D movies?
Floored that people are still bitching about Touch ID

Curious. My 12 Pro Max gives me the best battery life I've had on a phone in well over a decade.
