iOS 18 on iPhone 13 - How Does It Run? In this video, I aim to showcase to you how the iPhone 13 runs in real world use on the latest official iOS 18, which can help you decide if you want to upgrade to iOS 18 yet! Share your thoughts, questions, and comments, and enjoy the episode! 🎥📱😀
Finally a channel covering how iOS 18 performing on older iPhones. The older iPhones specially with the notch doesn’t even get the flashlight beam control. So, at this point regular users are just confused which features are they getting and which ones are missing.
I got my 13 brand new back in Nov iOS 17 was smooth so has iOS 18 very smooth no bugs at all battery life is still strong it still performs very well my battery health is still on 100% it’s been almost a year !!!! This phone is still worth getting if you can find one for a decent price it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down anytime soon idk what magic Apple did with the 13 series but they did it right
I’ve IPhone 13 too but after updating to iOS 17.7 instead of 18 I feel like battery is draining faster than before IOS 17.5.1 1% is dropping in just 6,7 while watching yt and in just like 4minutes while gaming (PUBG)
this video is so valuable I had to write a comment. wish u continued success with your channel. this is exactly what I wanted to know and this video couldn't have been made better. perfection.
If you replace battery, it’ll significantly improve your phone. I’m using iPhone13ProMax, battery on 87% - never replaced, (yet) &still runs great after 2.5 yrs of use.
@@cernoskobubu really? If so you're pretty much using a cheap one. I had a samsung note 20 ultra bought at release(2020). Gave that to my dad in 2022 as i got a new device. He is still using it and it is in great condition
The update shows as being almost 4 gigs. Does the phone clean out the stuff it doesn't need after the install? Or is each major update going to use 4 gigs of space?
Hey Nick, 👋 I'm from India and I have a doubt. I'm trying to choose between the iPhone 15 and the Samsung S23, as both come with only a small price difference in the offers. Which one would you recommend?
i got it on my iphone 11 and it seems like they really optimized it a ton on older iphones,i got 991k antutu score and the phone is perfoming better in every way possible.
Hi! Is it normal for the iPhone 13 screen to flicker sometimes but then disappear? It happens when watching a video and switching to an app like Messenger. It's more noticeable in light mode. Thank you!
Love how comprehensive you are in your comparisons. This is a great video thank you! I think it would be interesting to see the performance differences between the same iPhone models running ios17 vs ios18 but that’s probably unrealistic in execution having to purchase 2 of every phone.
I’m thinking of getting an iPhone 11( it’s the one I can afford) how is it going to corp in 2024? Not just with the update but with everything in general.
Great video as always Nick. I have been watching your content for a while now and even though I can not get these devices because I am an Andriod user also they out of the price range for me. I am watching on my three-year-old Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and keep with the great work!
Let’s be honest…Anything under the 15pro is NOT getting iOS18. We’re getting a dummed down version. Very unfair. My iphone 14Pro is only two years old. It should be able to get all software updates in full for longer than only two years. I’m very bitter about this.
Pretty amazed at how smoothly the 13 is handling IOS 18. I guess I don't have to worry about updating my 14 pro. Out of curiosity, how does the 14 pro handle it ? more importantly, battery wise ?
Hey Nick thank you always for giving us insightful information. Just wanted to share I ordered a iPhone 16 pro Max desert titanium 512 gigabyte this morning! Thanks for always being there for us to give us great advice and tips tricks
Never got to try this since I already sold my 11 pro max just before the apple event. From my experience, upgrading from ios 16 to 17 made my battery life significantly better. From needing 2 charges in a day to lasting enough on a full day. I expected the same here but i wont know it anymore
Could you do iPhone 14 Pro next ? If you do, depending on the performance from your video, I will decide if it’s worth it to update right now or wait for 18.1 or 18.0.1 whatever they decide to call it
Do you notice some slight delay when opening Control Center in iPhone 13? Especially when you didn’t open it for some time, or when you are using some apps. I’m noticing it actually.
Great effort. But I would kindly suggest you to compare the 13 pro with the 15 pro and the 13 with the 15 as it would be much more justifiable in terms of pro models.
Also I updated iOS 18 on iPhone 13 and im a medium use user, and I have to say I haven't had heating issues, and no lag yet plus its still smooth, but battery is kinda downgraded from iOS 17, my phone lasted like 7 hours with medium use, but now with medium use on iOS 18 it last 6h 30 min or 6h 40 min.
12 are still in our collection and up to 13 are still in the production line, but we want to reduce their number and focus on the latest ones. Up to 11, there are still new ones, but 12 and above are better.
I don’t have the iPhone 13 but I have a replacement iPhone 12 Pro Max after my original one’s back glass was cracked. I updated to iOS 18 🔥🔥. I’ll be keeping the replacement model until next year.
iOS 18 on my 14 pro Max is actually pretty smooth no issues and no further battery degradation, it’s nice to see the iPhone 13 still being really smooth on iOS 18, great content as always Nick, hopefully you and your wife will do iPhone video again together.
As a test, I updated my iPad M2. Looks & feels same as 17. Calculator is not great - conversion feature is not smooth. Appearance is terrible for being 10 years in development. Generally, some apps are not working, so will hold off updating iPhone 13pro until iOS 18 stable.
1. They should've made the connectivity toggle same as on 17. 2. I'm having a blank home screen. (I don't know if that's because i removed the widgets but it doesn't go away like on 17) 3. Kinda stutter when scrolling to add controls. 4. This would be for the developer, not all icons have dark mode, i wish they update their app to have all icons in dark mode. 5. Kinda miss the spot at the bottom, they should've let us use that gap, app can still fill that space. 6. Battery on my 13 draining fast just like in every release of major OS update and gets better in the next update. 7. I love that there's the apps in settings where they put all the apps inside it, no more long scroll. Still exploring this new update.
I have the I phone 13 mini and when I did the upgrade. When you bring up the messages on your phone and want to go back to another message it won’t go back. I have had a lot of problems. I have groups of apps that I name like “social “and you can’t bring it up. Some of the letters on your keyboard don’t work properly. I have been talking in my phone more now. I might have to do a system restart. I am not happy so far.
Im in two minds with my iPhone 13 cause i wanna try the new updates but it might ruin my battery. And my battery has been really perfect. Still on 17.5.1 😁
Just got my iPhone 13 it’s a one week old but it’s doing just fine but as you said it only has a basic camera set up. And you are correct it also gives me 4.5 hrs screen on time.
I wish I didn’t do the last 2 updates! I have an iPhone 13 Pro, never had a problem until the last 2 updates. Now I have tons of issues. I spent 4 hours yesterday with Apple Help via chat trying to fix issue… still not fixed. My FaceID won’t work AND a bunch of my widgets won’t open they just show up as white boxes. I ended up having to totally erase my phone and start from scratch with past backups. Still not working. I feel like Apple may be doing this as a scam to force us all to upgrade. I’m super frustrated since I can’t afford to do so. I’ve only had my current phone for 1 ½ yr.
