iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro Max is here! First impressions and photos thread

[sonstar]

Depends what you plan on doing with the 12PM. If you claim usage on tax and sell it for 60% of original price, it's definitely worth the upgrade. I upgrade each year.

Giving to Mrs haha, yeah I can claim back GST too.

The comparison pic I posted above is Sierra Blue vs Pacific Blue.

I'll post comparison of new vs old graphite soon

Wow seriously. The frosted backs on the pro model phones can give you so many color variations its crazy.

I just picked up my iPhone 13 Pro Max 128GB Sierra Blue from the Apple Store in Sydney Australia.

First impressions:

• The new phone feels does not feel any heavier in the hands than the 12 Pro Max
• The smaller notch is not that noticeable. But the font size in the status bar on either side of the notch seems to have increased, and they've moved it down from the top of the display. Why not keep the same font and position and add an extra icon or two?
• Sierra blue is absolutely stunning in person. It looks more steel / ice / glacial blue and not so much baby / powder blue. The colour on that stainless steel band is beautiful. Like the Pacific Blue last year, you get different colours in different lighting conditions
• Promotion display - Just WOW. Never had a Samsung 120Hz screen before so I didn’t even realise how smooth scrolling, swiping between pages on the Home Screen and watching videos can be. It’s worth every penny and is very noticeable even to untrained eyes like mine.
• Display is cooler than the 12 Pro Max display and no yellow tint when put side by side against each other.
• It pairs perfectly with the Apple dark cherry and sequoia green leather case,
• MagSafe magnet attachment does not seem any stronger than last year

Happy to take questions! I've taken the day off work so I should be able to answer your questions within a reasonable time.

Some photos attached. Includes direct comparison with 12 Pro Max Pacific Blue, and when paired with Apple black silicone, dark cherry, sequoia green leather cases and Otterbox Aneu series in light blue.
I also have my partner’s graphite 13 Pro Max so I’ll update this post with some pics of that too.

Neither one of the blue pictured phones looks blue at all to me.

Sierra blue definitely looks grayish. Looks neat but I went with silver/white again. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one. You beat @LFC2020 to it. 🤣
In a dark closet when in dark mode. How do the greys look ? Any hint of green? Cheers

That blue looks lighter than I thought It would be. I like it! Glad I ordered that color.

wow that graphite is darker can hardly see the apple log

 

[conleyca]

Does the 12PM case for the 13PM?

 

[Boardiesboi]

Does the 12PM case for the 13PM?

No. The camera cut out is bigger on the 13PM and the buttons have moved.

Congratulations to all!!!

Checking in about he screen: any flicker when filmed with slow-mo at brightness settings under 100%. The more less flicker usually means less PWM issues. If you could tell me it’s better, you’d be my favorite person today.

 

[Mr. Jenkins]

I'm conflicted all over again. The two colors I'm leaning toward. Every time I think I've made up my mind, I see awesome pictures that makes me second guess.

 

[MisterSavage]

Thanks for posting. I actually really like that case that has the colorful magsafe circle.

Getting my sierra blue tomorrow!

 

[shando]

Great pics! Love the Sierra blue, though it looks gray at some angles.

Do you think the light blue matches the sierra blue?

Was thinking of exchanging that for the dark blue.

 

[kp98077]

I was torn between the pro and max but after seeing this it looks beautiful in the max! can't wait to see it in the store in the morning.... sadly, this is what our area store looks like!!

 

[Legendts]

I’m starting to get jealous and my iPhone 6 is starting to look (and is) sloooww 🥴.

Maybe I need to upgrade, very soon 😁.

The sierra blue looks more blue here compared to the other pictures.

 

[Legendts]

But, but the sign says NOW OPEN 😂.

The Pro Max in Graphite is really a thing of Beauty.. That camera array.. Oooh! I never thought I would say that about a phone.

It's a hefty beast. It nearly feels like there is 2.5K AUD of stuff inside it..
