Some improvements of iPhone 13 over the iPhone X that i've observed;
Speed – I didn't notice the X was slow until after a few days with the 13...I went from noticing the wait for the X to catch up to my commands, to the 13 waiting for my commands. The iPhone has taken over the lead from me! Damn AI.
Camera – The Wide Angle is brilliant. I thought I was going to miss the Telephoto, but I prefer how I can just move closer to the subject now instead, but have that extra wide shot for when I don't have enough room to step back.
Battery – Big jump. In a 24 hour period, I had 7h38m screen on & 2h25m & still had 25% left (if i'm reading the Battery settings right).
Charging (MagSafe puck) – I didn't think much of it initially, but in my travels, it's proven to be very useful. 1 hour trips top up the battery by 30% & that's with Google Maps & Spotify streaming via Bluetooth all the way. That's gotto be around 15W of juice from my 18W USB-C PD car charger. Much better than the old 5W charger (wired) I was using.
Form factor – I'm a big fan of my old iPhone 5 shape, so to go back to it again is great. Very modern/sleek design that Apple should stick with.
Screen – Much brighter & bigger too. Fonts & icons are slightly increased in some Apps so things are easier to use.
RAM – So far, i'm noticing less App refreshes which is what I expected from having the extra memory.
Aluminium bumpers/Camera rings – Love these accents, especially in the Product red. They're like a classy metallic paint finish on a car that change depending on the light. They're also fingerprint resistant so the sides stay clean…
