I’m going from a first generation iPhone SE to an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I’m just wondering if I’ll notice any differences. I keep hearing and reading that this is a boring phone so I hope I don’t have to go to the trouble of returning it.
Got a tip for us?

If you are waiting for usb-c you will be waiting forever. Apple will go full wireless before they do usb-c.
That’s a MASSIVE upgrade, but the 7 Plus is still pretty snappy. My mom still has a 7 Plus and it still gets around incredibly well. Very few hiccups. Amazing that it’s a 5 year old phone and can still take good pics, open apps very quickly, etc. The 7 Plus was one of the most memorable iPhones in my opinion.
Yep, it’s graphite. The SS looks a bit like a gunmetal gray, but it varies by light.

I would agree with both of you but when I called Apple it was their suggestion and has worked. I am still getting used to using Apple Pay-it is not as seamless as I thought. Even if my device is unlocked it still needs me to show my Face ID. I will get used to it.
Yeah, Apple Pay is much easier with an Apple Watch than with an iPhone.
Sorry my last comment got removed by The moderator so obviously there is no free speech on this forum which I thought was one of America first amendments. But obviously not here.
Sorry but I don’t believe it was an honest review.

Check to see if it has a white balance setting since some devices have it. Otherwise, I'd suspect multi-sourcing of displays from different manufacturers more so than variance from single source. Last I heard Samsung, LG and BOE were in the mix for iPhone 13 displays although the last one might've been dropped.
Apple presents every new iPhone as revolutionary so it’s not too strange that people expect this. I’m actually so tired of having to filter Apples marketing attempts. Every time there’s new Apple stuff I have to reduce their psychological tricks to real info and read between the lines what the actual added benefits of the new phones are, because what they try and plant into my brain is that it’s all pure magic and awesomeness.
Rene is a shill, he's been caught out a number of times having BS double standards. It's probably the reason his iMore forum posts dwindled.
Yeah I quit watching her years and years ago, she is obviously paid by Apple in some way... The people that watch her are little 12-year-old boys who think she’s hot...and she is hot ....but annoying to me
Serious question - why is it important to use your phone with a tilt? I can’t understand the need for this?
I don't blame people for being upset when the marketing and advertising are trying to convince you that this is the most exciting thing to EVER HAPPEN TO ANYBODY EVER OMG. Then the product doesn't align with the promise for those who aren't a couple of generations behind, which leads to feelings of 'blahitude'.
... or something. I don't know, I only use my phone as a modem and "iCloud platform" for my laptop anyway, so I don't find any of this very exciting at all. "Crotchety luddite" works for me!
This time I want to burn Apple. Here I am like many on pre order day to get my phone on the 24th and get a phone on that day and it’s not mine because they mixed the ups tracking labels. On the other hand, Apple “specialists” are more incompetent because it shows that they are not trying not even a bit to resolve the issue. I order an iPhone 13 pro blue 256gb with no carrier and what came in was an iPhone pro max blue 256gb under Verizon addressed to someone. I could use this phone to my advantage, but morally I feel this is wrong. Still I see Apple not doing an effort to fix the problem.
Did any of you encounter a problem with your order? As is, I still can’t do an unboxing because of Apples mistakes and incompetent specialists.

That have been users, like self, that have reported online at different forums, that the iWatch should've been unpaired from the Old iphone FIRST as there were connection issues with the newer iPhone.
Also, be careful with the Fitness app. It was backed up to iCloud then restored but the historically data did NOT transfer over. Lost all data for >1 yr including all the Award badges!
Had to recheck and update most of the settings since it didn't restore properly from an 8 Plus to the 13 Pro. Restoring the data was a real pain.
Weight isn't an issue. Can people seriously feel the difference of ~1~2 ounces from their old to new iPhone? It's laughable.
Considering the money paid, Apple didn't include a wall charger anymore. Thank goodness I had a 12W charger available and considering upgrading to a 20W charger.
Did you disable iCloud? It does synch its data to iCloud.The Fitness app Lost all my data from over a year's history including all the Reward Button earned!
Absolutely strange. I've done a lot of Fitness restores from iCloud (I NEVER restore machine backups or do OTA updates but always fresh install everything to avoid any kind of slowdowns / problems) and never had any problem. The only trick is to wait until it finishes. I have some 1.3GBytes of Fitness data in iCLoud and usually have to wait for hours for it to be restored in the Fitness app.
You will. The first-gen SE is a completely different animal in every respect (and is quite outdated).
