I am so happy I blocked Renee Ritchie everywhere this period of the year. 😁
Shouldn't just be at this time of year, but I digress.

Really? Why would you need to buy a SIM card in every country you visit if you can use your US carrier plan when traveling overseas? ATT charges me $10/day (maximum $100/month) when using my phone outside the US which is a pretty decent price as I don’t need to do anything other than turn my phone on when I land in a different country. Way more convenient than having to go through the hassle of buying a local SIM card in a different country.A magnificent insult to travelers, the 14 with the most imbecile no sim tray ”solution”. Only US customers which is somewhat interesting as how the geniuses in Cupertino arrived at this? Fail.
On a side note, the new Verge is simply horrible.
I have a friend that every year he goes to the new flashy color Apple launches. He got the green, then the blue and now the purple. Every year he can’t buy the same as Apple discontinues it. 🤷🏻♂️If that purple review is true, I am going for Black. At least black I want to be black. Colors I want to be bright. Both MG and PB were the same for me as they say about Purple. Looked Gray or Black.
I thought it was just me, what an atrocious, horrible design. I read through their article that discusses their design decisions and even those don't make any sense. I give it 6 months before they revert or do a different design.
Please re-read what I wrote and what I quoted. The original reviewer expressed disappointment that 12 megapixel ProRAW shots from an iPhone 12/13 were not noticeably more detailed than 12 megapixel JPEG shots. My argument is that people shoot raw for added dynamic range and editing capability, not because raw is magically more detailed on the same sensor. Of course a 48 megapixel shot is going to be sharper and more detailed than a 12 megapixel shot.Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm will be happy to know that a 12mp sensor will produce the same sharpness, clarity, and lack of pixilation as a 48 mp camera. WTF are you talking about?
It’s amazing how many here are disappointed in year-to-year upgrades when that isn’t really the reality anymore for any manufacturer. Devices have matured so what you saw as big leaps for say 5-15 years ago are long gone. You will largely see incremental improvement going forward just like has been the case with fuel efficiency for 50 years, computers for the past 10 years, space travel, etc. Technology only moves so fast.
If you’re disappointed, let me warn you that you will largely be disappointed for the rest of your life – with a few random bigger upgrades ever decade.
And don’t think this is just hardware. I run a large team of IT engineers, architects, java developers, etc and there is only so much we can do each year with UI/UX to redesign customer portals, add new functionality, re-engineer customer process flows, etc. It’s largely just adapting to customer preference and industry trends. Apple isn’t an exception in many ways.
Sure, I think adding ProMotion was huge, and Cinematic video was incredible. Those 2 put it head and shoulder above rest of smart phones.So you think the 13pro was a more exciting upgrade from the 12pro??? I don't think so.
Sara Dietschy(YouTube) said she kept AOD on standby for 24hrs with no percentage loss. And then she went a total 48hrs standby with AOD and it only went down to 95%. MKBHD didn’t do a focused test like she did when he said there was a noticeable hit to battery.It will be useful to me so imma using it no matter what.
It might be a convenient option, but it's definitely not cheap. You can buy a SIM card pretty much anywhere here in Brazil, get 15gb of data for 30 days for about $6 and spend $94 elsewhere. I travel a lot and never had any issues getting a local SIM.Really? Why would you need to buy a SIM card in every country you visit if you can use your US carrier plan when traveling overseas?

Who do you consider to be a reviewer worth reading (or watching)?I don’t consider ANY of these reviews to be worth even reading, let alone relying on for helping me make any decisions. Rather than rush this post to the front page, you probably should have found some more nuanced reviews that actually have a bit more substance. The truly sad thing is that most of the public will probably be relying on these terrible sources for “technology reviews” just like you relied on them to push out this front page post as quickly as possible. 🤦🏻♂️
Sure. For an occasional or company phone business traveler it may work. To a certain extent. Not when you can buy an unlimited service with data for $10 or less per month and allow local people to call you. Or when that behemoth AT&T, who cannot often ensure good comm even in some large US cities, was never heard of where you land. Nah…when you’ll travel some more for longer than a typical one or two weeks you’ll learn.Really?

Why would you NOT, unless you like to give US carrier all the money. For example, Verizon charges same $10/day but only gives 500MB limit. If you want to do any actual work or watching video you will blow through that in no time. Think of a family of 3 or 4 people. Versus getting a local sim for $15-$20 for 7-14 days, or $30 for a month, and have unlimited data for a month.Really?

10-120Hz LTPO display, massive improvements to the camera and now on equal ground with the 13 Pro Max, and a large increase in battery capacity with matching endurance.Errrrrr. No. I have the 12 pro. My wife has the 13 pro. Very very little upgrade. I have no idea where you're coming from on this. I've upgraded almost every year and the 13pro is one of the few I've skipped. Not sure what you're smoking...
Yeah if you take a lot of videos. My cat videos on my 12pro look just as good as the ones my wife takes on her 13pro. Not that big of a deal.Sure, I think adding ProMotion was huge, and Cinematic video was incredible. Those 2 put it head and shoulder above rest of smart phones.
Not that big of a deal to You, but bigger deal to some. I like my cat video looks like movie taken with 20k video cameras and be able to switch focus.Yeah if you take a lot of videos. My cat videos on my 12pro look just as good as the ones my wife takes on her 13pro. Not that big of a deal.
my start-up kit, if I care to have a local number in Europe, costs me $0.00 - $1.20. Monthly unlimited with whatever data (that I have almost always on) is less than $10.-Why would you NOT, unless you like to give US carrier all the money.

You need to shoow ProRAW for the 48MP pics, but it will work with whatever storage option. You might be thinking about ProRes, which requires at least 256gb.So, to shoot 48MP pics do you have to be in raw mode and to use raw mode do you have to have an IPhone 14 Pro/Max model that has 256gb storage? Thanks!
