Not sure if there are a lot of issues or problems with the 13 pro, haven't had time to comb all the threads. But just wanted to share my transition from the Se2 to the 13pro. mine is a 13 pro, 256 gig minivan blue. t-mobile upgrade, took 2 days from the phone call this Tuesday until it was at my office. they seem to have good inventory of the higher memory and more expensive phones. Also got a 13 for my wife. 128 gigs sold out but 256 gig available and also already arrived.

Data transfer was seamless, everything came over along with most passwords. No issues here.

Face id didn't work with watch/mask but the update today fixed it perfectly at 15.0.1 I like how it warns you on the watch that the phone was unlocked.

Battery life after a day of tinkering still at 80+%. Surprised by this and hope it continues. life on my se2 has been horrible since ios 15, and happy to see that it seems to run happily on the 13 pro

So far all bluetooth devices have connected first time (car, headphones, office speakers). My car is about 5 years old and was worried, but it connects faster than the se2 did.

The weight and size will take a bit of getting used to, but not horrible. Using a cheap amazon case for now and even with my small hands not difficult to keep a good grip on.

The screen looks great, though I wouldn't know if the 120hz things was happening or not. It looks great, but my se2 wasn't too shabby either.

The camera is amazing and a huge step up. The zoom, cinematic, low light, etc are all fantastic and a welcome addition. The se2 camera was quite average and really looking forward to learning just what this one can do. I've taken a lot of pics on mountain bike rides that weren't great due and hoping this improves my shots.

I've always bought a year or two old to get a better deal, and this is my first time just getting what I wanted. the t-mobile trade-in deal with magenta max 55+ was good for the se2, and the now and forever thing will be nice too. carpe diem.

Hope everyone else has a smooth transition too.

cheers,

Mark
