Had the 13PM in Sierra Blue for 3 years and just swapped the battery with Apple 2 months ago. I’m shocked of how long the battery lasts with normal day usage. Previously I had to charge it twice a day and now I put it to bed with 75 to 80%. Would highly recommend replacing a battery instead of buying a new phone every year. It’s not worth it and your wallet will thank you for it.
you're absolutely right....13 pro max is STILL talked heavily about till this day... i'm glad i didn't upgrade yet either.... my battery health is at 81% after 3 years..... i'm anxious for a new battery....can't wait.... i'll keep it 3 more years.
GREAT video! Thanks for making it so useful. I’m sticking with my 13 Pro Max and based on my wife’s views of her 16 Pro Max that she uses for work,I think you have captured the differences perfectly. For me, no reason to upgrade my own daily workhorse mobile. Still one of the greatest iPhones ever made, in my opinion (between us, our family has had every version since the iPhone 4S).
Nice Video ! I've been using my iPhone 13 Pro Max since 2022, and I'm delighted with it. My battery is at 87% health, but even so it lasts me 2 days without any problems. It's probably one of the most robust iPhones designed by Apple. Except for the screen issues, but that's specific to certain regions, my French model is not affected.
I still have that Sierra Blue Pro Max since the day it launched,still serves me very well and the battery life is still ok with 85% health. Camera and speed are still good enough for me i just wish i had USB C on it too. I used to upgrade every 1-2 years but lately phones got to the point where they pretty much have everything,the design and hardware differences are too small to give me a good reason to upgrade it again and it's the same with Samsung and the others
Android phones offer more options regarding personalization, technology, and functionality (i.e. foldable options - flip, fold, etc.). Cameras are 50x zoom (realistically 10x) plus 100mp. apple released USB C on its phone is the major upgrade for 2024...android had this 8 yrs ago, 50mp camera 5yrs ago, etc.
I have the iPhone 16 Pro max which I upgraded from the SE 2nd gen and I love it the battery lasts me from 2-3 days depending on how I use it and the camera is top notch.
I’ve had the iPhone 13 Pro Max since it launched and it still has 86% battery health. Never had a problem with it and I can’t justify buying a new iPhone. I’ll wait until the iPhone 20 releases 😃
I just bought the iPhone 13 Pro Max and love it. After the iPhone 11 it’s a huge difference for me. I watched the 15 and 16 pro max but I didn’t saw to much difference so I got the 13 Pro Max for now.
Just today upgraded from 13 pro max sierra blue to 16 pro max desert titanium. Love it, really like new screen but 13 pro max it’s a beast still could easily replace a battery and go for couple more years. 😊
I’ve had the iPhone 13 Pro Max for over 3 years, still at 87% battery health and I go all day, watching UA-cam videos, and it never dies. I’ve thought about upgrade, but I love it. I like the weight, the size… Pretty much everything. I keep trying to find someone to convince me to switch, but I’ve failed all year long. Sticking with my iPhone 13 Pro Max
I've been using the 13 Pro Max since it came out. Great phone with no real issues, even while running betas. I plan to get the 16 Pro Max because I'm a tech guy, always looking to try out the latest and greatest. LOL Also, my carrier offers great deals when upgrading.
I had a sierra blue 13 pro max. Honestly one of the best iPhone colours that Apple released, in my opinion. Part of me wishes I kept it instead of trading it in for a black 14 pro max (and later replacing that with a 16 pro max)
yeah i loved my 13 pro in sierra blue. definitely one of the best colours in recent years. ive got my 15 pro max in blue titanium that i’ve had for a year now, no point in upgrading for me personally yet
I still think the 13 pro max battery was the best and I own the 16 pro max. I think the 16 pro max has good battery but once it goes from 50 down it falls fast in battery
Was at the store today and bought two new iPhone 15 for my wife and my daughter. I have the 13 Pro Max, and was tempted to at the same time make the upgrade to the 16 Pro Max. Knowing my reasons were weak, I hesitated and didn’t. Watching this confirmed what I needed to know - I can wait a year or two before upgrading 😅
Definitely iPhone 16 Pro Max is the best piece of tech but iPhone 13 Pro Max was majestic when it came out especially in the alpine green which was my personal favourite. Btw, a great video Aaron. Really a worthy comparison.
I bought the 16 pro max and returned it the morning after and kept my 13 pro max lmao, ever since the 14 i noticed newer iphones make pictures more dark and dull capturing less colors and yet again i see that in your comparison.
I still enjoy using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Had it since it lounched. There's no need to upgrade. Looking forward to keeping it for at least 2 more years. My battery health is still at 87%
Literally just sold my daughters Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro Max and she bought my iPhone 16Pro max as I decided to change to the smaller Pro After a few days the smaller Pro feels nice and a little snappier than the 16 Pro max I needed to buy a different colour case as my 16 Worl phone is similar size Using both the 16 and 16 pro is very similar and. Think most people will be happy with the standard 16 this year or possibly the max version instead of the Pro max
As always, you create the videos I need. I have had my 13PM since about a month after launch and it is now showing signs of abuse from working outdoors in a muddy, wet and clay, concrete mixing environment. It has held up well including battery life. I agree at the start for a good while, I considered it a two day phone. What I needed was a video to really show the difference. Cheers mate. Happy holidays
I really liked my 13 Pro Max. I turned it in when I upgraded to the 16 Pro at Verizon on the first day. They offered a $1000 rebate for any phone. I regret not having turned in my old iPhone 5S and kept the 13PM as a reliable backup device.
If you're coming from 13 Pro, it's really worth it to Upgrade from 13 Pro to 16 Pro Max. But if you're coming from 13 Pro Max. It's not really worth it! I'm a user of 13 Pro Max for 3 years and now a 16 Pro Max user. There's no massive difference. Maybe you'll notice the difference for just 1 week! But after that. No surprise at all. I should have wait the 17 Pro Max with a redesigned (rumor). But still enjoying the AI and Chatgpt of 16 Pro Max.
How about the camera, USBc allowing easier downloading your data and pictures to a ssd or external drive, better screen brightness. Will agree the 13PM is excellent if these things aren’t important.
@ Honestly, i did my own Camera/Photo Comparison for the both Phones. 13 Pro Max Photos looks natural and really really not Bad! And 16 Pro Max Photos looks so Amazing and i only hate one thing is that Yellowish of all the Photos! Even if, the Lighting was white and even in the outside camera shots. You will notice this kinda yellowish. Not just because of the True tone or something. I used both true tone for the phones. Battery performance! Same as my Iphone 13 Pro Max when it's new. 6am to 8pm maximum. Open cell data all day! I just shifted to 16 Pro Max because of my Iphone 13 pro max battery health decreased to 80%. But, i can still use it all day 6am to 2pm. USBc is great added feature. About the brightness, since i'm working in the office (indoor) i really didn't notice the differences. Brightness of the 16 Pro Max is way more brighter than 13 Pro Max! Of course. But, i don't use it both under the sun so, i can't see the difference.
i have a 13 pro max and i’m upgrading next weekend. i don’t like the rumored design of the cameras on the back of the new 17 so i’m getting the 16 pro max before they change it 😂
I will keep my 13 pro max..till dieee u know why .. bcz its solide phone and perfect in everything .. and walk with any newest phones comes even in 2030.. nothing need to upgrade.. the 120 hz alone its amazing.. ur battery strong.. ur 3 cameras is wonderful in day and night and had cinematic mode..u have big screen..sterio sound.. the 15 bionic chip manage everything in strong way..… so tell meeeee why u change ??????
I upgraded from normal 13 Pro to 16 Pro Max. To be honest 13 Pro was still fine probably for another 2 years, except the battery that was at 79% health. I enjoy having a bigger screen, i always had big screens but when i bought 13 Pro my job involved movement and walking and having a big phone in my pocket wasn’t the best option. Now my job it’s different and that’s not a problem anymore. Basically i’m still a truck driver but i don’t manually unload/load the trailer each day by myself anymore. Back to phones, 13 Pro was such a good generation, the only essential feature you miss it’s type-c usb. Finally my iPhone doesn’t need a special cable. Otherwise decent updates but not a revolutionary change. Personally didn’t plan the upgrade but i was in an Apple Store, liked the size, small bezel, rounded titanium edges and the colour. Natural titanium looks great. All of this until i put a Rockform case on it, same like i have on 13 Pro. Now looks identical except bigger. 😂😂😂
I have the gorgeous green 13 PM they launched mid season. I LOVE it still. I might replace the battery as I do intent to keep it a few more years. It’s been the best iPhone I’ve ever had
My partner has the 13 pro max in sierra blue that I gave her when I bought the 16 pro max in black titanium and she’s very happy with it,but she drops it about ten times a day and apart from camera lens crack it’s survived her daily abuse.There is no point in getting her the newest handset as she wouldn’t notice the difference.She will get my 16 pro max once I upgrade in a few years.One thing of note her 13 pro max still has 89% bh after three years of use and she can’t kill it in one day.
What? The iPhone 13 Pros look and feel way more premium. The iPhone 13 Pros are peak iPhone. The only downside would be the thicker display bezels, but it’s a minimal difference. The best part…the iPhone 13 Pros have a physical SIM card, and no intrusive satellite modem (a big privacy concern).
I wouldn't agree with that, but it is subjective. Also, the satellite connectivity is not a privacy concern at all and is only active when you have no connectivity. Want to deactivate it then turn on airplane mode.
@ The satellite connectivity is definitely a privacy concern. I don’t need Apple or Samsung or anyone knowing my location at all times. It’s like driving a Tesla and Tesla having remote access to the car’s cameras and microphones. Privacy concerns. And the iPhone 13 Pros definitely feel more premium, the steel frame, glass and weight make a difference. The 15/16 Pros frame are essentially aluminum finish, and the weight makes it feel cheap. The S24U is hefty, and feels premium for a reason, and moreso than any iPhone 15/16 Pro Max.
The battery life on my 13PM is at 89% and I bought this at launch. I’m going to upgrade to the 17 Pro next year. I feel like that’s the sweet spot. Right now my 13PM does what I need and more (though the Lightning port is starting to be an inconvenience for me).
Since the iOS 17.2, The Qi2 wireless charging support have been added for the iPhone 13 models and iPhone 14 models but the iPhone 12 models have a limited support to the 5W Qi wireless charging support due to it's own original MagSafe charging.
Upgraded from the 13 Pro Max and I love it as well, but I must admit I believe my 13 pro max could have lasted atleast two more years with updates. I had it since release.
I have a 16 Pro Max, coming from a 12 Pro Max. If I had a 13 Pro Max instead, I wouldn’t have bothered upgrading. Just one of those phones that stands the test of time, such a beast
I'm not sure if it was just how you were holding the phones, (maybe the primary mic was slightly covered) but during the video capture, I actually preferred the 13PM audio.
I almost bought a 15 Pro Max because they were on sale for a few hundred dollars off. I think I'll wait for next year and get the 17 instead. My 13PM is still holding up great
The 13 Pro Max is a beast, I love the camera and even though the battery health is 84% I still get a full days use out of it with 30 - 40 % charge still left. I will replace the battery at some stage and then it will be good to go for another 10 years. Looking at the photos, I think I prefer the 13 to the 16.
That freezing happens quite often for me on my 16 Pro Max… but only in certain apps like Safari. That would almost never happen on my 13 Pro so that’s quite odd.
My 13 Pro Max will easily last me until the the 17 Pro Max comes out and if I decide not to go with the 17 Pro Max I’ll just get the battery replaced. Yes, it’s that good, Lol. Also, I prefer the cameras 📸 on the 13 Pro Max.
13 pro max was solid year they made it too good. I upgraded from it and keep it as a second phone with 16 pro max. I could’ve went on another 3 years easily and waited for 19
13 pro max sierra blue here. I’m not upgrading until I absolutely need to. My battery is on 95% capacity and I can get 2-3 days on a charge. Not to mention it’s so close to being paid off. lol 😂
@ nope, I bought it new a few months before the 14 series released. I keep my battery between 20-80% and rarely charge over 80%. The annoying part is you can’t set a charge limit on the 13 series like the new 16 models have. So I just try to watch it and unplug it around 80%. I’m not much of a power user so I get 2-3 days on a charge but I can push it and drain it in one day if I’m using it a lot. Also it’s mostly on WiFi 90% of the tine too.
@@J.B-is8fb okay so it must be less used and yeah mostly at home that too on wifi socbegter stability is for sure , well for that 80% limit or even 90% limit , make a shortcut bro , it will notify you with a sound or siri will announce that it has reached 80% or whatever, which u can see on UA-cam but yeah just giving u suggestion that honestly it doesn't work much believe me it's just a gimmick , it actually depends on how u r using ur phone , what settings to be turned off which consume battery , also what apps u use , whether on data or wifi , whether or not dark mode is there or not been used by you nd much more things , and all these effective settings are there on UA-cam, but That 80% is not that much effective coz I have 15 plus and 15 pro max at home , nd 15 plus being used effectively with 100% charge with all useless setting turned off like iphone analytics , background app refresh etc.. nd not 80% retains 98% bh still after 1 yr 1.5 months whereas 15 pro max with 80% limitation is on 87% after 1yr only used on 5g mostly [less wifi ]no settings being turned off or any precautions wih AOD on sometimes, so you see the difference it's all about effective usage
I only traded in my 13 PM for the 16 Pro because I wanted to downsize. The 16 Pro also feels much lighter which is nice too. The battery life of the 13 PM is still unmatched though unfortunately.
@@lilzuplada1564 they gave me 30% off when 16 launched but this being my first iPhone and had left Andy because of poor software support am gonna keep it till it's no longer supported. The only thing that impress me on 16 (plus) is the battery
I upgraded from a 13 Pro Max to a 16 Pro max. My battery health was at 79% and the screen gave out at one point which Apple thankfully replaced for free. It was a good phone, but it was time for an upgrade.
I really miss the close focus on the 13PM for product photos and hate that Dynamic Island cuts into 2:1 content like this video! However the 15/16PM 5x 2x and weight reduction are worth putting up with it.
Using the 13 PM right now. When I upgrade to the 17 PM or 18 PM or Ultra , I will buy it from Canada or France. I got have a SIM Card Tray in my daily driver because I travel a lot.
Upgraded from the 13 Pro Max to the 16 pro max yesterday. If I’m being honest I see no difference in performance, the battery is a big improvement though. My battery was degraded so bad I had to recharge it several times a day.
I’m torn man. I have the 13 pro and I’ve loved it. But I f’ed it up a while ago.. The back is completely broken plus one of the camera lenses. Haven’t checked how much it would cost to fix it. It works besides that though. Next thing is, in EU and I know from what I’ve read Apple intelligence won’t be available in my country until after April 2025. So maybe I should wait. But dang I kinda don’t want to wait 10 months or so. And the 16 pro max really does look amazing. what to do ;//
I wouldn't know about "great display" for iPhone 16 lineup... I returned mine because of pink/green tint issues, that a lot of other people on the internet are reporting on as well.
I went from the 13 pro max to the 16 pro max. At first I thought it wouldn’t be a “upgrade” but the Dynamic Island itself feels like an upgrade and Apple intelligence. Glad I got it and using the 13 pro max as a 2nd phone.
I went from a 13 pm to a 15 pm the difference is minor but I had waaaaay better battery life on the 13 pm I even went in and cut off background app refresh but other than that they both are solid as iPhone can get I can’t speak for the 16
The only thing i miss about my 13 pro max is that sierra blue color best color ever att gave me 1,000$ credit so i figured why not upgrade before its too late
They are very similar. Is the 16 better than the 13, enough to make me give up my perfectly fine 13 pro max and spend another $1600?? No way!! They literally want you to buy practically the same phone, with very minor changes, every year!! It’s crazy!
Had the 13PM in Sierra Blue for 3 years and just swapped the battery with Apple 2 months ago. I’m shocked of how long the battery lasts with normal day usage.

Have you experienced any Media volume, and brightness difference before and after changing the battery. ???

I just went from 13 PM to the 16PM this past weekend. I needed this video a week ago 🤣🙉
There a lot UA-camrs that have this same comparison
I have the gorgeous green 13 PM they launched mid season. I LOVE it still. I might replace the battery as I do intent to keep it a few more years. It’s been the best iPhone I’ve ever had
Using my iPhone 13 Pro gold while watching nice video aaron zollo ❤(:3😊
My partner has the 13 pro max in sierra blue that I gave her when I bought the 16 pro max in black titanium and she’s very happy with it,but she drops it about ten times a day and apart from camera lens crack it’s survived her daily abuse.There is no point in getting her the newest handset as she wouldn’t notice the difference.She will get my 16 pro max once I upgrade in a few years.One thing of note her 13 pro max still has 89% bh after three years of use and she can’t kill it in one day.
What? The iPhone 13 Pros look and feel way more premium. The iPhone 13 Pros are peak iPhone. The only downside would be the thicker display bezels, but it’s a minimal difference.
The best part…the iPhone 13 Pros have a physical SIM card, and no intrusive satellite modem (a big privacy concern).
I wouldn't agree with that, but it is subjective. Also, the satellite connectivity is not a privacy concern at all and is only active when you have no connectivity. Want to deactivate it then turn on airplane mode.
@ The satellite connectivity is definitely a privacy concern. I don’t need Apple or Samsung or anyone knowing my location at all times. It’s like driving a Tesla and Tesla having remote access to the car’s cameras and microphones. Privacy concerns. And the iPhone 13 Pros definitely feel more premium, the steel frame, glass and weight make a difference. The 15/16 Pros frame are essentially aluminum finish, and the weight makes it feel cheap. The S24U is hefty, and feels premium for a reason, and moreso than any iPhone 15/16 Pro Max.
The battery life on my 13PM is at 89% and I bought this at launch. I’m going to upgrade to the 17 Pro next year. I feel like that’s the sweet spot. Right now my 13PM does what I need and more (though the Lightning port is starting to be an inconvenience for me).
5:27 the iPhone 13 Pro also got support for Qi2 via a Software update
Correct
Since the iOS 17.2, The Qi2 wireless charging support have been added for the iPhone 13 models and iPhone 14 models but the iPhone 12 models have a limited support to the 5W Qi wireless charging support due to it's own original MagSafe charging.
Crazy I was looking for this exact video by you yesterday, but couldn’t find it. But now its posted what a coincidence.
Watching this content from my iPhone 📱 6S lol .. and it’s pretty good 😊
Upgraded from the 13 Pro Max and I love it as well, but I must admit I believe my 13 pro max could have lasted atleast two more years with updates. I had it since release.
Still on my iphone 13 pro max alpine
Same. 88% bh
I have a 16 Pro Max, coming from a 12 Pro Max. If I had a 13 Pro Max instead, I wouldn’t have bothered upgrading. Just one of those phones that stands the test of time, such a beast
I'm not sure if it was just how you were holding the phones, (maybe the primary mic was slightly covered) but during the video capture, I actually preferred the 13PM audio.
I think the screens are more reflective on the new ones and less vivid.
Best and most durable iPhone for me was regular 12. This phone was a beast.
I almost bought a 15 Pro Max because they were on sale for a few hundred dollars off. I think I'll wait for next year and get the 17 instead. My 13PM is still holding up great
The 13 Pro Max is a beast, I love the camera and even though the battery health is 84% I still get a full days use out of it with 30 - 40 % charge still left. I will replace the battery at some stage and then it will be good to go for another 10 years. Looking at the photos, I think I prefer the 13 to the 16.
You posted this the day after I upgraded my 13 Pro Max to a 16 Pro Max
My decision to upgrade my 13 pro max to 16 pro max was justified by this Video. Thanks Aaron.
That freezing happens quite often for me on my 16 Pro Max… but only in certain apps like Safari. That would almost never happen on my 13 Pro so that’s quite odd.
I’ll be upgrading to the 16 pro max in less than two weeks from a 13 pro max
My 13 Pro Max will easily last me until the the 17 Pro Max comes out and if I decide not to go with the 17 Pro Max I’ll just get the battery replaced.
Yes, it’s that good, Lol.
Also, I prefer the cameras 📸 on the 13 Pro Max.
13 pro max was solid year they made it too good. I upgraded from it and keep it as a second phone with 16 pro max. I could’ve went on another 3 years easily and waited for 19
13 pro max sierra blue here. I’m not upgrading until I absolutely need to. My battery is on 95% capacity and I can get 2-3 days on a charge. Not to mention it’s so close to being paid off. lol 😂
It's a good phone really , but 95% capacity like how? Did u replaced the battery?
@ nope, I bought it new a few months before the 14 series released. I keep my battery between 20-80% and rarely charge over 80%. The annoying part is you can’t set a charge limit on the 13 series like the new 16 models have. So I just try to watch it and unplug it around 80%. I’m not much of a power user so I get 2-3 days on a charge but I can push it and drain it in one day if I’m using it a lot. Also it’s mostly on WiFi 90% of the tine too.
@@J.B-is8fb okay so it must be less used and yeah mostly at home that too on wifi socbegter stability is for sure , well for that 80% limit or even 90% limit , make a shortcut bro , it will notify you with a sound or siri will announce that it has reached 80% or whatever, which u can see on UA-cam but yeah just giving u suggestion that honestly it doesn't work much believe me it's just a gimmick , it actually depends on how u r using ur phone , what settings to be turned off which consume battery , also what apps u use , whether on data or wifi , whether or not dark mode is there or not been used by you nd much more things , and all these effective settings are there on UA-cam, but That 80% is not that much effective coz I have 15 plus and 15 pro max at home , nd 15 plus being used effectively with 100% charge with all useless setting turned off like iphone analytics , background app refresh etc.. nd not 80% retains 98% bh still after 1 yr 1.5 months whereas 15 pro max with 80% limitation is on 87% after 1yr only used on 5g mostly [less wifi ]no settings being turned off or any precautions wih AOD on sometimes, so you see the difference it's all about effective usage
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
still on Xs, waiting for the software’s EoL. The only “problem is the battery health (75%).
i have 13 pro max about 3 years!!! its a great device
Great video Aaron ❤😊
Glad you liked it!
I only traded in my 13 PM for the 16 Pro because I wanted to downsize. The 16 Pro also feels much lighter which is nice too. The battery life of the 13 PM is still unmatched though unfortunately.
I still have my iPhone 13 Pro. Though I love the specs of the iPhone 16 Pro.
Am a peasant and still holding dearly on my 13 base model. I going to use it till it can't work anymore 😊
Get the iPhone 16 on a huge carrier discount next year. That’ll give you an extended longevity and your iPhone 13 would still have some resale value
Stop it,
The Base 13 does EVERYTHING the 16 does.
Don't act like AI is something you NEED.
@@lilzuplada1564 they gave me 30% off when 16 launched but this being my first iPhone and had left Andy because of poor software support am gonna keep it till it's no longer supported. The only thing that impress me on 16 (plus) is the battery
Bought a Product red 13 last year. Love it I get two days battery and if I want Apple Intelligence, upgraded from a Mini to a 256 gig mini 7
Have a alpine green 13 pro max. Great phone. Keeping till 17
I upgraded from a 13 Pro Max to a 16 Pro max. My battery health was at 79% and the screen gave out at one point which Apple thankfully replaced for free. It was a good phone, but it was time for an upgrade.
What made the screen give out
@ It’s that issue the 13 series had with some of their displays. It just went fully white one day due to a manufacturing defect.
@@salindasa oh damn good thing I sold my 13 pro max then
I love my 13 Pro Max silver.
Love your videos Aaron , keep up the good work
15 pro max to a 16 pro max and its freaking awesome!!! 😎
4:27 Correction: The iPhone 13 Pro Max has a battery capacity of 4,352 mAH battery.
Why u like this
I have a 13 pro max, works well….gonna keep it for now
Nope. iPhone 13 Pro Max is a 5 years phone at least. Replacing battery if there is an issue: that's all.
Yes, upgrade… It will help
Increase the value of my Apple stock 🍏
I really miss the close focus on the 13PM for product photos and hate that Dynamic Island cuts into 2:1 content like this video! However the 15/16PM 5x 2x and weight reduction are worth putting up with it.
Using the 13 PM right now. When I upgrade to the 17 PM or 18 PM or Ultra , I will buy it from Canada or France. I got have a SIM Card Tray in my daily driver because I travel a lot.
Upgraded from the 13 Pro Max to the 16 pro max yesterday. If I’m being honest I see no difference in performance, the battery is a big improvement though. My battery was degraded so bad I had to recharge it several times a day.
I still have the iPhone 11 PM.. I think it's time to upgrade right?
Yes to 13pm
Does anybody know where i can buy the iphone 13 pro max please ?
Planned on keeping my 13 pm but I have a free upgrade via trade in so might just skip to 16 since it’s free🤷🏾♂️
I did the same thing. Upgrading is only worth it if it’s cheap with a trade in.
Im looking to upgrade from 11pro ... and i dont know which one between 16 pro or the regular one
The regular one is on par with the pro only difference is 60hz on base model 120 hz pro model
I’m torn man. I have the 13 pro and I’ve loved it. But I f’ed it up a while ago.. The back is completely broken plus one of the camera lenses. Haven’t checked how much it would cost to fix it. It works besides that though. Next thing is, in EU and I know from what I’ve read Apple intelligence won’t be available in my country until after April 2025. So maybe I should wait. But dang I kinda don’t want to wait 10 months or so. And the 16 pro max really does look amazing. what to do ;//
Watching this on ip13pm. Still kicking.
Should I wait for 17 Pro Max if I have a smaller 14 Pro 2 years old with 86% battery health? Is it worth it over upgrading to the 16 Pro Max?
I would wait. 17 Pro Max will most likely be a much bigger upgrade with the rumored redesign
I have the 13 pro for work and I love this phone.
Still using 13 pro max and believe me it’s still at its peak.
We have both 13pm and 16pm colors. I think I will keep the 13 pm as backup phone
Your videos are the most informative and enjoyable on YT. Thank you. : )
I really like your comparison video
It definitely makes it a little easier to choose what to do and or which phone to go with
I have a 14 plus on iOS 18.3 beta 1 no problems at all
I wouldn't know about "great display" for iPhone 16 lineup... I returned mine because of pink/green tint issues, that a lot of other people on the internet are reporting on as well.
Thank you Aaron 😊
I went from the 13 pro max to the 16 pro max. At first I thought it wouldn’t be a “upgrade” but the Dynamic Island itself feels like an upgrade and Apple intelligence. Glad I got it and using the 13 pro max as a 2nd phone.
I think my only upgrade will be to a Pro Max, my 13 Pro in Sierra Blue is still working beautiful. But even then I still love the size of this phone.
I went from a 13 pm to a 15 pm the difference is minor but I had waaaaay better battery life on the 13 pm I even went in and cut off background app refresh but other than that they both are solid as iPhone can get I can’t speak for the 16
The only thing i miss about my 13 pro max is that sierra blue color best color ever att gave me 1,000$ credit so i figured why not upgrade before its too late
Still on my 12 pro max 👍 works perfectly
They are very similar. Is the 16 better than the 13, enough to make me give up my perfectly fine 13 pro max and spend another $1600?? No way!! They literally want you to buy practically the same phone, with very minor changes, every year!! It’s crazy!
I upgraded from my iPhone 13 Pro Max to my iPhone 16 Pro Max on November 14th
Hopefully the iPhone 17 will be good with all features available at launch.
Just got the 13 pro max and I love it and the battery is the best thing ever because I charge it once a day 👌🏽
I'm loving my 13 pro max ... currently 3 years old with 88% battery health 😮💨 don't want to upgrade just yet
this is exactly why i'm glad i didn't upgrade yet......iphone 13 pro max this STILL in the conversation 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
I cant tell the two apart.....
