Which Model are you getting?

I'm thinking about what's relevant for me, and well right now the Pro only gives me ProMotion and slightly more battery life; I care little for the camera, LIDAR, additional GPU core, ProRAW etc.

In fact between the 13 and 13 Pro, the audio playback battery is the same.

I came from a 12 Pro, but here's the comparison: https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone12pro,iphone13pro,iphone13
I actually think 13 pro will be better than regular 14. Camera features on 14 will basically be that of 13 pro
 
This is the main reason I’ve not traded in yet! Away week after next and want the best camera for my trip.
So... why not buy (and take) a camera?

Maybe it's me being old, but I can't grip a smartphone the way I learned to grip a 'proper' camera. I treated myself to an Olympus Pen E-PL9 and a few lenses last year. Even with using a view/touchscreen instead of an eyepiece I still feel steadier having a hand under the lens and the one at the side with my finger over the shutter.

For me I take the Gran kids out for a few hours to the park, ball parks etc I certainly don’t wanna be pulling out a DSLR to snap them. My phone is always with me so I want the best camera specs in my pocket for quick snapping or filming them

I’ve got a dslr in a box somewhere… and that probably sums them up for me. For me the the phones take great shots and I hardly ever print. The convenience of having something in the pocket is perfect for me.

Picked up a gimbal too and they’re great for really good looking video too.

It’s crazy how the photos on the iPhone X were great and even in the short time that’s passed since it’s release, the quality of the cameras has grown massively.

“The best camera is the one you have with you”. That for me always rings true - I’ve dabbled with owning DSLRs and mirrorless cameras a couple of times and always end up selling as they just don’t get enough use. Yes the photos are better (especially fast shutter and autofocus makes a bit difference) but they are not THAT much different that I feel like I’m missing out too much with using my iPhone. And I always have my iPhone with me, which I wouldn’t with a proper camera, so can be much more spontaneous
