I finally picked up my iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB (Graphite) and it is amazing.

The color is just the same as last year’s 12 Pro Max graphite color which I owned. I really like the stealthy look of the graphite.

I intend to use dBrand skins next month and from my experience from last model, the skins look amazing with the graphite model. Hoping to have the same experience this time again.

However, for now I am temporarily using the Apple Dark Cherry leather case. It is in my opinion the best case color released this year from Apple.

I also installed the iMOS Sapphire Glass Screen Protector for the screen



I also got the iMos Sapphire glass lens screen protector.



Before applying the lens protector I put the plastic clear protector for the camera area.

The phone is now ready for setup and restoring for my iCloud backup.

Hope Apple releases the ProRes support soon. Looking forward to take high quality cinematic videos. It will be a lot of fun.

How about you all?

Which iPHone 13 model did you buy and which accessories did you get with it?
 
I use pacific blue lens covers for my 12 Pro Max and to be honest, I think the camera lens look better with them.

Yes, the lens protector are highly recommended but make sure that they are the ones with Sapphire glass and not the cheap stuff from China.
 
This is the dream setup. I’ve had imos gaming glass on the past few phones but last year on the 12 pro max it cracked on a short fall even while in a case. And considering it took 3 months to get to my house I’ve now switched over to shellrus. arrives in a few days and it’s 96% as good. Oleophobic coating could be a bit better but besides that scratch free. I did get me some imos camera rings tho! Should be here tommorow!

13 pro in blue with a commuter case with pop socket. Waiting for Apple midnight case to be delivered with a magnetic pop socket.

Yes, iMos is the best.

That is always my first choice.

Their Sapphire Glass is very close to the real glass screen.

Nice. Why don’t you use a clear case to show off the new color? It looks nice with a clear case and even better without any cases.
 
Got my Sequoia Green Leather case today.

Another perfect match after the Dark Cherry

Graphite just goes well with all the Apple Cases.

So far I prefer the leather cases. Tempted to get the Abyss Blue silicone case.

Didn’t like the silicone case experience for my iPhone 12 Pro Max as it wouldn’t side into my pocket smoothly and a lot the lint it attracted was just annoying.

It will probably be the same this time round.
 
The cherry case with the graphite phone is an excellent combo, looks great! If the leather cases weren’t too thick for my tastes I might do the same thing.
 
I ordered a black silicone case from Apple just to get me started. But I see a Deep Cherry leather case and a Blue Jay silicone case in my future.

I've used the apple leather cases before and liked them. Looking at this case, I notice a lip around the camera lens, obviously to guard the additional depth.

How sturdy is the lip? It almost looks like something that is going to wear and fray with use?

How well does the phone rest on a flat surface face side up? Does it wobble because of the extended lip?

The lip is plastic, so very sturdy.

Resting on flat surface the phone only rocks if you're tapping the upper left corner and you have to tap pretty hard to offset the weight of the bottom of the phone.

The problem with sapphire is that it's more reflective than glass with out an antireflective coating.

Yes but Sapphire glass feels way better than normal place if glass.

Also it doesn’t scratch as easily as plastic glass.

I am referring to the screen protector and also the lens protector.

Many people get glass protectors but the feel of the screen is not as good as without a screen protector. This is where Sapphire glass comes in.
