It wouldn’t be a massive upgrade for anyone coming from the 12 - from an 11 and older would be a noticeable upgradei'm sure it's great but i'm skipping it. the only reason i'd get it is for the extra battery life but my 12 Pro Max has good battery life and still at 100% health and i got it day 1. even if i traded in my 12 PM i'd still need to pay like £600...can't justify that.
if the 13 is so great then i can't wait for the iPhone 14i might be able to justify upgrading to that. if not i don't mind waiting until the iPhone 15 which will be even better!
i guess the good thing is most average people aren’t able to properly watch 4k video anyways. last i checked, no iphone screen is 4k. are the ipads even 4k these days?I’m loving my iPhone 13 Pro Max and agree that it’s the perfect phone. I need no more in a phone. But people who record and take a lot of photos (ProRes) need something better than the lightning port. I can’t imagine transferring large 4K ProRes files over lightning. Apple should have included USB-C or upgraded the lightning port to support higher speeds.
4K monitors are getting more common. But people would need an iMac, Mac Pro or Mac Mini with capable screen (if we’re speaking Apple ecosystem)i guess the good thing is most average people aren’t able to properly watch 4k video anyways. last i checked, no iphone screen is 4k. are the ipads even 4k these days?
Bend problems? Never had them.
Great battery? I’ve never had an issue.
Nice big screen? Nope. Don’t need it.
Give me light, pocketable, one handed use, and without a camera lens sticking an inch off the back of my phone.
You can take the stainless steel, MagSafe, and Face ID out as well. That will save weight. Give me a fingerprint sensor under the screen.
There are weight saving options. Apple just doesn’t care right now, because most people just buy the phone anyway.
My job is in social media and make a living from my iPhone.imagine having a phone that you can use as your computer.. and not have the need for a computer.. you can basically day trade stocks from your pocket
So just get the iPhone SE?
Seems like flagship devices simply aren't for you. Apple is offering a device that you are looking for.
So edgy. Please continue telling us how much better you are than us for going against the grain and for not being a sheep like us.Calling the phone "flagship" doesn't make it appealing. That may impress you, but it doesn't impress me. Every Apple phone I've ever bought, up until this year, was "flagship". They were also heavy and hard to deal with. I ordered the mini. Just because I don't see value in MagSafe, Face ID, and a huge heavy phone doesn't mean I don't value everything else.
It's hilarious to me how people defend heavy, large, hard to deal with phones. You would absolutely appreciate a smaller bezel, a lighter weight, and an overall smaller device. However, every year Apple makes the phones bigger and heavier. All the blind witnesses oblige, and defend it.
You’re talking about subjective qualities. I don’t find my 13 Pro heavy. I don’t find my 13 Pro large. I find my wife’s 13 Pro Max large. the bezels are tiny on my 13 Pro already. And the notch never bothered me, and the even smaller notch on my 13 Pro doesn’t bother me either. All the things you don’t like about the new iPhones don’t bother me so the blind witness comment doesn’t apply.Calling the phone "flagship" doesn't make it appealing.

So, for the record, please confirm that you would like a heavier and bigger phone next year.So edgy. Please continue telling us how much better you are than us for going against the grain and for not being a sheep like us.
If I had the same values as you, I would’ve bought the mini. There’s zero reason to be so bitter and righteous about what people like in their phones. There’s a reason that there are choices.
What is your point? This whole thread is based on subjective comments.You’re talking about subjective qualities. I don’t find my 13 Pro heavy. I don’t find my 13 Pro large.

Wow you almost convince me to upgrade. 😅I’ve had the iPhone 13 Pro for a bit over a week now, and to me, this just has to be the perfect smartphone. It feels like this is the pinnacle of what this product should be.
It’s the most beautiful and premium feeling phone I’ve ever used. The screen is gorgeous and so fluid. It’s big enough to feel immersive but not so big it’s unwieldy or uncomfortable. The performance is the best you can get, and everything is just so speedy. The cameras are insanely good. Battery life is better than I could’ve ever dreamed. I love MagSafe and its ecosystem more than I ever anticipated - so many options.
I’m just SO happy with this device. I loved my XS Max before this and while I was looking forward to the upgrade, I didn’t expect to feel this appreciative or this much of a difference. It feels like the almost decade and a half of the iPhone and its refinements has led to this perfect product.
Apple, kudos to you. It’s a shame reviewers are marketing this phone as a boring upgrade.
Everyone doesn’t care about the phone’s size. I definitely don’t. I swear some of you act like a few ounces will kill you.Because heavier-and-thicker is progress.
"Everyone doesn't care about" carrying a huge screen around with them everywhere they go. "I swear some of you act like" inconvenience with weight and size isn't a valid critique.Everyone doesn’t care about the phone’s size. I definitely don’t.

can't comment on the camera bump because on 12 pro but I manage with 12 pro weight - though im looking forward to Pro's being lighter hopefully next year. SS just adds too much heft and not worth the trade off considering its a finger print magnet when nude, and buried by a case otherwise 99.9% of the time for me
