Hey Oliur, I’m using the 13 Pro and I think in many ways it’s the perfect phone. I’m not a fanboy of Apple or Android, I just put emphasis on quality of product and form for day to day usage and in my humble non-expert opinion, if you are inclined or able to spend the amount needed on top end devices, for consistent quality and ease of us, I think the 13 Pro is the perfect device.
I have the 13 Pro Max and am considering going down to the Pro for my next upgrade! Will be a big change because I’ve had the biggest iPhone since the 7 Plus
I’m actually shocked how much I enjoy this phone. I have been using it since it came out and came from a 12 Pro and mostly impressed that I even notice a pretty significant difference from the 12 Pro camera.
I just upgraded from an 8 Plus to a 13 Pro, and after one day, I'm just over the moon with it. I used to make my living as a commercial and fine art photographer back in the analog days; I used to love the exhaustive level of craft you had to bring to it to make professional photographs. Now, this iPhone 13 is inspiring me to return to my passion for photography, although from a digital platform. No amount of tech will make a bad photographer into a better one. The images may be technically more competent, but photography is about vision and visualization, not technology. My new phone is a highly intuitive interface between my seeing and my ability produce visual art. I love it! BTW, SUBSCRIBED.
I recently sold my iPhone 11 Pro & bought the 13 Pro Max. Although I like the phone, it doesn’t feel like a significant upgrade… I have moments when I wish I’d kept my old phone, or opted for the standard 13 model.
@@HayesByeGrey I love the battery life. I just feel like the phone itself is more than I need. Then again, I suppose it’s better to have too much than not enough.

I'm still using my very old iPhone 6s. I mean, I know its way outdated at this point but, it's still doing the job. Fortunately, Apple is very good at maintaining their old phones with their yearly updates. My iPhone 6s is running with the latest version of iOS 15. This is probably the last iOS update that my phone is going to get. So, I don't know, maybe it's time for me to get a newer version of iPhone.
I respect it. I have the 13 pro but the main reason to get any of these new phones is just the camera upgrade (I am a content creator by trade). If you don't need that, *most* users would be fine on a 6s even. 120hz is great of course, but a luxury if we are honest
Not sure if you do this on purpose, but I appreciate that your frames/shots are wide enough that the audience can “zoom in” to fill the iPhone screen (where the notch is the only part of the screen that is not the video) without losing/cropping the subject(s) of the video!

Dont - apple chips are too powerful nowadays. even their phones from 2 years ago will still be on the top 10-20 fastest phones now. Unless you do super intensive tasks on your phone, you will have the same experience. you already have the faceID/notched screen which is the biggest improvement over the 6-8 series due to the screen/body size ratio. If you just use your phone for calls and text and casual photos/web browsing/videos/Spotify then you'll be having almost the same experience, especially with the screen. OLED is just nice to have. Unless there is something wrong with your XR, I think it will serve you well in the next 2 years. I have been from Android, switched to SE1, iP8, then now 12 mini. and experience is the same. maybe a few milliseconds of speed improvements here and there. :D the 12's design and OLED screen/size made me switch.

I must agree with gej. The only big difference is the battery life, screen and cameras. The cameras on the 13 Pro are more than you need. It’s probably not as good as you camera tho, but it comes more handy. The performance isn’t also a big factor. The chip inside that Xr is decently powerful. The only big difference is the screen.

Love my 13 pro silver/white, I upgraded from a 12 pro because I had been waiting for promotion on an iPhone. Battery life and camera improvement were just the sugar on top.
I upgraded to the 13 pro max from the 7 plus. Best choice ever! I love this phone and also consider it a camera with a phone instead of the other way around lol (also have an A7C lol). I recently used the 13 pro max on a professional shoot with my production company, was using it to make professional looking tiktoks for the client. Also invested into the Moment ecosystem and have most of their lenses, thus taking the phone even further in terms of quality and professionalism. It’s now my main vlogging camera. I keep a small bag with me at all times so all of my mobile vlogging gear fits in it and I take it everywhere I go.
@@adityanilangekar1166 I use the Moment lenses (18mm, fisheye, 58mm, and both anamorphic lenses), I have a variable ND filter for bright sunny conditions and the moment filter mounts to fit bother over the regular iPhone lenses (which are good enough to vlog with in broad daylight) as well as the moment lenses(use these more for low light situations). I also use the moment MagSafe cold shoe mount and attached a SHURE MV88+ mini shotgun mic on it, a small but powerful mic (however may upgrade to the RODE Wireless Go II system). I don’t really use a vlogging tripod as much as I used to. I tend to do it more run and gun style and just shoot handheld on my phone. The iPhone’s image stabilization is amazing but on occasions when I do use a tripod I will use either a Joby Gorillapod 3k pro or the Smallrig mini vlogging tripod. Also on my client shoots I’ll use the Smallrig Cage for iPhone to attach any filmmaking gear on it.
I'm watching this video on my 13 Pro. Just rejoined the iOS family after a few years with Android (my last iPhone was 5s). Still learning to love the iOS as much as I did with Android on my Pixels.
I'm also using the 13pro. Camera is bind-blowing! looking forward to the new camera upgrades on the 14pro because I think like you talked about in the video, they're gonna be upgrading the light sensors - so better night photography XD
I've been using a iPhone 11 Pro. I like it. But i found some extra cash and just ordered the iPhone 13 pro. Thanx for the review. I use it as a camera alot (for my work) and it works out great.
So I use iPhone 12 mini and this phone is just phenomenal. It has a smaller battery, but it’s totally enough for what I use. It’s actually the best phone I’ve ever had. It’s beautiful, fast and a good looking phone. I’m extremely happy with iPhone 12 mini.
I'm using iPhone 11 currently. Great phone no doubt, but the more videos of the new iPhones I watch, the more I wish it to have a squared body and an even better camera. Everything else is more than enough, but I can clearly see some room for improvements.
6 more months and the 14 is out. Better to wait if you can. The 13 will be cheaper or you can go for the latest and hold on to that for as long as you can.
@@jhowie yeah, it would’ve been great to get the 13th, but unfortunately here in Russia Apple has stopped selling anything, unless I find a reseller who adds +30-50% to the price :) So, it seems that I’m lucky enough to even have bought this phone
i ended up buying a refurbished 13 pro as my xs kept filling with storage and felt like the upgrade would be worth it - shoutout to your backmarket vid haha
My first iPhone was the 12 Pro Max 512 Gig. I came from a Galaxy Note 9. I shot two music videos for myself using nothing but the Note 9 and they came out AMAZING. Shortly afterward I saw the keynote for the iPhone 12. I’d always known iPhones were the best at video, but when the 12 pro Max was shown on stage, my gut told me I needed that phone. I thought to myself if I can do what I just did with this (at the time) 3 year old note 9. I’ll be Steven Spielberg Jr. with that 12 Pro Max. I bought it full price from the Apple Store. The price made me question my sanity. It was worth every penny. I intended to keep it for at least 3-4 years. The pictures literally forced my to be a photographer. The video was better than I even imagined. I’m a full blown cinematographer now. Then of course they announce the 13 Pro Max and they make the biggest update to the CAMERAS!!!!!! I fought it for as long as I could but I eventually caved and got the 13 Pro Max. On paper it’s not that much different than the 12 but if the camera is important to you it’s MUCH better imo worth every penny. I now have a 13 Pro Max 1 TB (I filled up 512 in 4 months) in Gold with a genuine leather limited edition D-Brand skin on the back. It looks like an Oreo ice cream sandwich if someone replaced the ice cream with a Gold Bar. The leather patina is premium. Sometime I sleep holding it it feels so good in the hand lol. This phone is perfect. I’m glad I waited to switch from android to iPhone until the 12 series. The ONLY thing I miss from my note or any android phone for that matter is Google Assistant and it’s integration. Siri needs a SERIOUS boost to match the quality of the rest of what the iPhone has to offer and how well it does it. Also shortcuts are MASSIVELY underrated. Nobody talks about them. They’re incredible PS if anyone wants to check out the two videos I shot for myself with the Galaxy 9 search Pen Frank “Last Night” and Pen Frank “Heads Up” (Official Video) Only things used were the Galaxy Note 9 and a DJI Mobile 3 cause I had nobody to actually hold the phone and film for me lol.
Love all your content! When you first mentioned that 120hz screen refresh and gave a side by side example. I couldn’t Unsee it. Then I would focus on that on my iPhone 12. Got the 13 plus pro max since work became very demanding and I’d be out all day. Very impressed and satisfied with it. No kidding about that battery life!
Hmm... It would actually be so cool to see Apple release CAMERAS, like you said! I still use the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it has definitely served me well for 2 years👌🏾
Just bought the iPhone 13 Pro in Alpine Green. A long overdue upgrade from the iPhone X. The Alpine Green colour looks superb. Battery performance & camera quality are top notch. Worth every penny.
I use a Pixel 4 XL and a iPhone 13 mini as my only 2 daily drivers and not gonna lie I love the mini a lot but I've impressed more people even other iPhone users with the pictures out of the 4 XL! I buy my phones cash so getting one that's gonna be supported for long with top specs is essential for me, having the best of both worlds is the icing on the cake 👌
I use a 12 Mini but my sister has a 13 Pro. I will upgrade to a 14 Pro (Max?) this fall. As much as I initially liked the 12 Mini, battery life is just abysmal. I use my phone for work, too. I just need a much better battery.
I have the 13 Pro and love the camera too. When I first got the phone, I saw a tweet that said: “The first iPhone was a phone that could take pictures. The latest iPhone is a camera that can make phone calls”. Thoughts?
Been sticking with the Galaxy S10 since 2019 and haven't been dissappointed by it since, but I am making a move to work in Japan for the forseeable future which is going to require me to grab a new phone and move onto a new carrier, and I am strongly considering grabbing the 13 Pro as a daily driver since Apple appears to be the popular choice there.
I've had my iPhone 13 Pro since the launch in Canada and it has changed my life. My only regret is not getting a 1TB bc I shoot a lot of video but it forces me to stay on top of decluttering and organizing the shots anyways. Coming from the 11, my quality of experience is so much better, especially when used in conjunction with the rest of my ecosystem (M1 Air, M1 Mini, Apple Watch, and M1 iPad Pro). Universal Control has really tied it all together and made it worth the investment (there's something very stressful about paying more for your phone than you did for any of your actual computing devices 🥴), especially when working in digital content creation and teaching virtually. Bonus for anyone teaching virtually - the fact that the iPhone front-facing camera with centre stage is so good means that I often use it instead of my laptop or my (very expensive) external webcam. It's really cut down on the extra tools I used to need to purchase (external batteries, power cases, camera lenses, etc)
I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro. Been thinking about upgrading to the 13 Pro for a while now, but the 14 Pro is only like 3-4 month’s away, so I might just wait for that one instead…
I’ve been using the iPhone X until Last week and it was doing absolutely fine over the last few years. I didn’t feel the need to change it but I got a little carried away and shot close to the swimming pool and dropped the phone. It conked off so yep it ain’t water proof, just water resistant. Ya’all adventure seeking geeks like me take note. So we’ll now I’ve moved to the 13 pro 256 and it works like a charm. Better than expected. It’s so smooth fast and seamless that I feel like I need a hand brake at times hehe and the cammmmmm got to love the crispness of the cam. Absolutely amazing in natural light and even low light shots are the best you’ll ever get on an iPhone ever. 😍 Gonna definitely take care of this phone and keep it as far away from water as possible. Fab review btw 🙌🏻
Hi, I 'm using iphone SE Gen1 since 2016 as my primary device and it's pretty handy and amazing to see iOS 15 updates on the phone. I shoot lot of videos and planning to switch on 13 pro but can wait for 14 series launch until then. 😀
I’m currently using the iPhone 13 Pro from when I bought the phone back in July. No I don’t get me wrong. This phone is great and has the better battery life than my old iPhone XS Max
Recently got the 13 mini and boy does that camera pack a punch. As a professional photographer, I still am blown away by the quality of this thing. Been also using it to film some of my UA-cam videos. Recording in 4K has never been lighter/easier. The built in stabilizer is a good bang for your buck too when you compare this to the G7X canon series.
love my 13 pro max came from 11 pro max and I see such an upgrade with the camera! also your video editing, quality and information is stellar! such clean editing
Great video, I have an S10 Plus which still works amazingly but my upgrade is coming in April and I'm considering a 13 Pro Max since I've moved to Mac and Airpods as well. Hopefully, I don't get trapped in the walled garden😅
@@adalbert93_75 I'm drawn towards Sierra Blue, it's got a bit of colour but still quite pared-back and it looks awesome. But I might get the graphite cause it matches with my MacBook and it'll age well. Still undecided I guess
@@neobaloyii I had the exact same dilemma but went for Graphite pro max - I think it will age better and matches my MacBook in space gray. Anyway either one is a great choice, enjoy :)
@@JackHackett1 The green looks awesome as well, but I'm yet to see it in hand. But to be honest I don't see myself getting it cause it's quite a rich colour
I’m currently using my graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max awaiting the next iPhone 14 pro max. I’m over the notch so I’m ready for something different even if it’s that weird “I” shaped punch out.
Using a Samsung Note10+, got it the day it came out. I came from an iPhone before. Bought the new Macbook Pro 14" bc of the processing power and I'm going back to iPhone next month
G’day mate, I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max that I bought six months after it was first released. I like it, it’s pretty good, and I don’t see myself buying a another iPhone for sometime. Great video keep up the good work.
iPhone 13 pro max 256gb graphite black ! migrating from android to iPhone ! still missing the open source kind of feel of phones ! but overall the iPhone 13 pro max is one hell o f a machine ! especially the battery , an easy 28 hours battery life on usual screen time activities !
i m using iphone xr right now but i m planning to switch to 13 Pro after watching your previous video it changed my mind from 13 to 13pro now and thanks for making amazing videos
Iphone 13 pro. Loving it. Never was into cameras and taking pictures, however, after playing around with this camera, I've started to enjoy it more. Great video.
I’m using an iPhone 13 pro and I get an average of 9 and a half hours of use everyday and tiktok is 60% of usage with yt being 25% the better life on this thing is amzing
Great video, Oliur. I currently use the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it's a beast. I got it day 1 and the only thing that's falling behind is the low light photography. I'm excited to see what the 14 has to offer.
i’m using an iphone 12 right now and i gotta say: one of the most polished experiences ever. I didn’t think i’d care much about the camera or the optimisation, since i shifted to ios from android for the longevity, but holy shit. i get why people don’t want to shift away from iOS (i might be morphing into one of them!)
I’m using the iPhone 11 Pro Max since January 2020. And got the Z fold 2 in Feb 2021. I still love the camera on my iPhone. It takes cleaner, more naturally detailed and texture resolving photos. The Z fold 2 is a decent phone but the images have that typical Samsung over-sharpening which makes me not want to use the camera on it as much. This makes the experience of owning it a bit unsavoury. The iPhone’s “fewer but more consistent and refined” way of doing things compared to the feature rich Samsung, does make my experience of using it much more fulfilling and satisfying. After having used the Samsung Fold for over a year, I don’t think foldables are the future. I really don’t mind Apple not coming up with a foldable iPhone. It’s also due to the scale at which Apple needs to produce iPhones compared to the competitors that makes it difficult for them to bring in dramatic new tech and features every year. Samsung can afford to do that since they don’t sell as many phones. That’s cheeky but true.
Using iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB Sierra Blue, went for the maxed out version,because I don’t really carry anything besides my phone and since I was upgrading form iPhone XS 512GB I thought I’d go for the screen and even more storage 🔥 I also can’t go without this phone because It’s my work station, I do everything on it I have movies and music on it, working programs and all sort of stuff So I couldn’t be happier, I love it so much, I use it in Pitaka Mag Ez case and this by far the best case I ever had, sleek and minimal design,such a premium feel 💯
Really well done video as always 👌 Loved the visuals and the review ❤️ Using the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I'd really like to see what Apple can do with a Periscope Lens.
I am currently using the iPhone 8 and I love it. I will upgrade to the 13 pro in a few days. I don’t see a point on waiting for the 14 because I really like the notch (I wouldn’t like to see a pill shaped thing on the top of my screen) and I also love the camera bump so I wouldn’t risk waiting for a phone which may have a different camera layout or setup or whatever.
It’s 18:19 and my 13 Pro is at 69 % and 4 hours of screen on time. I mostly used TikTok, UA-cam and WhatsApp today. My brightness was at an average of 70 %, 120hz on (it’s a must have, but also a battery drainer) and 5G combined with Wi-Fi (mostly 5G). I’ve also been using the phone in the background while listening to music. The cameras are really great and the display is perfect. I still miss some features from my old Samsung like USB-C, reverse wireless charging my earbuds and always on display. I use my AirPods a lot and with noice cancelling I drain their battery very fast. 8 hours a day is really a lot of listening and sometimes a forget to charge them, so a feature like reverse wireless charging would help a lot.

@@adityanilangekar1166 I use the Moment lenses (18mm, fisheye, 58mm, and both anamorphic lenses), I have a variable ND filter for bright sunny conditions and the moment filter mounts to fit bother over the regular iPhone lenses (which are good enough to vlog with in broad daylight) as well as the moment lenses(use these more for low light situations). I also use the moment MagSafe cold shoe mount and attached a SHURE MV88+ mini shotgun mic on it, a small but powerful mic (however may upgrade to the RODE Wireless Go II system). I don’t really use a vlogging tripod as much as I used to. I tend to do it more run and gun style and just shoot handheld on my phone. The iPhone’s image stabilization is amazing but on occasions when I do use a tripod I will use either a Joby Gorillapod 3k pro or the Smallrig mini vlogging tripod. Also on my client shoots I’ll use the Smallrig Cage for iPhone to attach any filmmaking gear on it.
I'm watching this video on my 13 Pro. Just rejoined the iOS family after a few years with Android (my last iPhone was 5s). Still learning to love the iOS as much as I did with Android on my Pixels.
I cannot believe it’s already been 6 months! Wow.
Currently using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra
Got my 13pro some months ago what blows my mind the most is the battery
I'm also using the 13pro. Camera is bind-blowing! looking forward to the new camera upgrades on the 14pro because I think like you talked about in the video, they're gonna be upgrading the light sensors - so better night photography XD
Using a iPhone 12 that I’ve had for nearly a year. Battery still pretty good
11 pro. Perfectly fits in my hand and the battery life is pretty good for its size
I've been using a iPhone 11 Pro. I like it. But i found some extra cash and just ordered the iPhone 13 pro. Thanx for the review. I use it as a camera alot (for my work) and it works out great.
iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I love it. I switched from a galaxy s21 to iPhone and have not looked back.
iPhone 8 user here 🙌🏼 been using it since the launch. It’s been great except for the battery life.
I'm still rocking the Samsung S8 lol. My iPhone 13 Pro is currently in the mail. Really looking forward to using it
So I use iPhone 12 mini and this phone is just phenomenal. It has a smaller battery, but it’s totally enough for what I use. It’s actually the best phone I’ve ever had. It’s beautiful, fast and a good looking phone. I’m extremely happy with iPhone 12 mini.
I'm using iPhone 11 currently. Great phone no doubt, but the more videos of the new iPhones I watch, the more I wish it to have a squared body and an even better camera. Everything else is more than enough, but I can clearly see some room for improvements.
6 more months and the 14 is out. Better to wait if you can. The 13 will be cheaper or you can go for the latest and hold on to that for as long as you can.
@@jhowie yeah, it would’ve been great to get the 13th, but unfortunately here in Russia Apple has stopped selling anything, unless I find a reseller who adds +30-50% to the price :) So, it seems that I’m lucky enough to even have bought this phone
Currently using the iPhone 12 Pro, skipped the 13 and will upgrade when the 14 Pro comes out. It's hard because I REALLY want that ProMotion display 😩
iPhone 13 pro user. The same colour actually. Graphite fan here🖤
i have been using an Iphone 13 Pro for the past 5 months. I enjoy taking videos in Pro Res
Currently using an iPhone 7 and i can't wait to get a 13 pro
Love mostly everything about the phone but one thing I never get used to is the weight. It's just too heavy.
As crazy as it sounds, I downgraded to the standard 13 for that reason alone. its just too dam heavy for day to day use.
I got used to my 13 pro, I also use a mindsky MagSafe ring so it’s easier to hold here and there
iPhone 13 pro max. First iPhone since 2010 when I had iPhone 3G S but switched to android for over 10 years. Mostly love the max
Been using a 256GB iPhone 13 Pro in the Graphite colour way since I saw your unboxing. My very first iPhone. Never looking back.
I'm still using an 8 Plus and plan on upgrading to a 14 this year
iPhone XS gang 🤞
Waiting for the next BIG change to upgrade… maybe iPhone 16-20 will be tempting
i ended up buying a refurbished 13 pro as my xs kept filling with storage and felt like the upgrade would be worth it - shoutout to your backmarket vid haha
I'm using an iPhone 13 pro same as you. Very glad with my purchase.
My first iPhone was the 12 Pro Max 512 Gig. I came from a Galaxy Note 9. I shot two music videos for myself using nothing but the Note 9 and they came out AMAZING. Shortly afterward I saw the keynote for the iPhone 12. I’d always known iPhones were the best at video, but when the 12 pro Max was shown on stage, my gut told me I needed that phone. I thought to myself if I can do what I just did with this (at the time) 3 year old note 9. I’ll be Steven Spielberg Jr. with that 12 Pro Max. I bought it full price from the Apple Store. The price made me question my sanity. It was worth every penny. I intended to keep it for at least 3-4 years. The pictures literally forced my to be a photographer. The video was better than I even imagined. I’m a full blown cinematographer now. Then of course they announce the 13 Pro Max and they make the biggest update to the CAMERAS!!!!!! I fought it for as long as I could but I eventually caved and got the 13 Pro Max. On paper it’s not that much different than the 12 but if the camera is important to you it’s MUCH better imo worth every penny. I now have a 13 Pro Max 1 TB (I filled up 512 in 4 months) in Gold with a genuine leather limited edition D-Brand skin on the back. It looks like an Oreo ice cream sandwich if someone replaced the ice cream with a Gold Bar. The leather patina is premium. Sometime I sleep holding it it feels so good in the hand lol. This phone is perfect. I’m glad I waited to switch from android to iPhone until the 12 series. The ONLY thing I miss from my note or any android phone for that matter is Google Assistant and it’s integration. Siri needs a SERIOUS boost to match the quality of the rest of what the iPhone has to offer and how well it does it. Also shortcuts are MASSIVELY underrated. Nobody talks about them. They’re incredible
PS if anyone wants to check out the two videos I shot for myself with the Galaxy 9 search Pen Frank “Last Night” and Pen Frank “Heads Up” (Official Video) Only things used were the Galaxy Note 9 and a DJI Mobile 3 cause I had nobody to actually hold the phone and film for me lol.
Got an iPhone 8 last Christmas when my Nokia went to see the tech Gods.
Asides battery life, it’s great.
I'm using the iPhone 12 mini currently. Big fan of smaller phones, had a iPhone SE (2016) before this one.
Love all your content! When you first mentioned that 120hz screen refresh and gave a side by side example. I couldn’t Unsee it. Then I would focus on that on my iPhone 12. Got the 13 plus pro max since work became very demanding and I’d be out all day. Very impressed and satisfied with it. No kidding about that battery life!
Hmm... It would actually be so cool to see Apple release CAMERAS, like you said!
I still use the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it has definitely served me well for 2 years👌🏾
I’ve got an iPhone X. It’s about 3 years old. I will be upgrading this year. Kind of waiting until later to see what’s new.
Just bought the iPhone 13 Pro in Alpine Green. A long overdue upgrade from the iPhone X. The Alpine Green colour looks superb. Battery performance & camera quality are top notch. Worth every penny.
I use a Pixel 4 XL and a iPhone 13 mini as my only 2 daily drivers and not gonna lie I love the mini a lot but I've impressed more people even other iPhone users with the pictures out of the 4 XL! I buy my phones cash so getting one that's gonna be supported for long with top specs is essential for me, having the best of both worlds is the icing on the cake 👌
I use a 12 Mini but my sister has a 13 Pro. I will upgrade to a 14 Pro (Max?) this fall. As much as I initially liked the 12 Mini, battery life is just abysmal. I use my phone for work, too. I just need a much better battery.
I have the 13 Pro and love the camera too. When I first got the phone, I saw a tweet that said: “The first iPhone was a phone that could take pictures. The latest iPhone is a camera that can make phone calls”. Thoughts?
Been sticking with the Galaxy S10 since 2019 and haven't been dissappointed by it since, but I am making a move to work in Japan for the forseeable future which is going to require me to grab a new phone and move onto a new carrier, and I am strongly considering grabbing the 13 Pro as a daily driver since Apple appears to be the popular choice there.
Apple is popular almost everywhere but I always keep one Droid and one iPhone
Try it once. Get the 13 pro. It’s simplicity and seamless hardware software integration will get you hooked. Everything else is a bonus 😍❤️
I have same Iphone 13pro, same Color. this phone is such a good phone, i never believed until buying. 💪🔥
im using an iphone 7+ but soon ill be upgrading to this beast of a phone I cant wait!
iPhone XS (Since launch) aiming at 14 pro this year.
I've had my iPhone 13 Pro since the launch in Canada and it has changed my life. My only regret is not getting a 1TB bc I shoot a lot of video but it forces me to stay on top of decluttering and organizing the shots anyways. Coming from the 11, my quality of experience is so much better, especially when used in conjunction with the rest of my ecosystem (M1 Air, M1 Mini, Apple Watch, and M1 iPad Pro). Universal Control has really tied it all together and made it worth the investment (there's something very stressful about paying more for your phone than you did for any of your actual computing devices 🥴), especially when working in digital content creation and teaching virtually.
Bonus for anyone teaching virtually - the fact that the iPhone front-facing camera with centre stage is so good means that I often use it instead of my laptop or my (very expensive) external webcam. It's really cut down on the extra tools I used to need to purchase (external batteries, power cases, camera lenses, etc)
Hi, what storage size did you get? I'm deciding between 256GB or 512GB.
@@mnlclo 512GB! I shoot a lot of 4k video and RAW photos though so I have to keep on top of doing pre cuts and clearouts
Using the iPhone XS since launch. Still going very strong besides the battery. 14 Pro might be the play this year though.
I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro. Been thinking about upgrading to the 13 Pro for a while now, but the 14 Pro is only like 3-4 month’s away, so I might just wait for that one instead…
I'm still on my iPhone XS, the battery lasts 2 hours of screen on time, but aside from that, it's still going strong
I’ve been using the iPhone X until Last week and it was doing absolutely fine over the last few years. I didn’t feel the need to change it but I got a little carried away and shot close to the swimming pool and dropped the phone. It conked off so yep it ain’t water proof, just water resistant. Ya’all adventure seeking geeks like me take note.
So we’ll now I’ve moved to the 13 pro 256 and it works like a charm. Better than expected. It’s so smooth fast and seamless that I feel like I need a hand brake at times hehe and the cammmmmm got to love the crispness of the cam. Absolutely amazing in natural light and even low light shots are the best you’ll ever get on an iPhone ever. 😍
Gonna definitely take care of this phone and keep it as far away from water as possible.
Fab review btw 🙌🏻
I’ve shot around 200 vlogs with my iPhone it’s been an amazing tool for UA-cam and the videos come out absolutely fantastic
Hi, I 'm using iphone SE Gen1 since 2016 as my primary device and it's pretty handy and amazing to see iOS 15 updates on the phone. I shoot lot of videos and planning to switch on 13 pro but can wait for 14 series launch until then. 😀
Pixel XL2 - Waiting on the iPhone 14❗
Been using the iPhone 13 since December 25th 2021 loving it ever since!!
Still running the XR. Working fine for what I use it but may upgrade at next release.
I'm using OnePlus 7, been almost 3 years still pretty decent
I’m currently using the iPhone 13 Pro from when I bought the phone back in July. No I don’t get me wrong. This phone is great and has the better battery life than my old iPhone XS Max
Am using the iphone 13 pro and totally loving it
Recently got the 13 mini and boy does that camera pack a punch. As a professional photographer, I still am blown away by the quality of this thing.
Been also using it to film some of my UA-cam videos. Recording in 4K has never been lighter/easier. The built in stabilizer is a good bang for your buck too when you compare this to the G7X canon series.
love my 13 pro max came from 11 pro max and I see such an upgrade with the camera! also your video editing, quality and information is stellar! such clean editing
Still using my iPhone XR which is going strong, hoping to upgrade to an iPhone 13 Pro soon.
I currently have the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it works just fine for me, but I will definitely be upgrading to the next generation in 2022
iphone 11 for 2 years now. still satisfied with the lens setup - nice shot from canary wharf!
Great video, I have an S10 Plus which still works amazingly but my upgrade is coming in April and I'm considering a 13 Pro Max since I've moved to Mac and Airpods as well. Hopefully, I don't get trapped in the walled garden😅
Cannot go wrong really with 13 pro / max. What colour are you planning by to get?
@@adalbert93_75 I'm drawn towards Sierra Blue, it's got a bit of colour but still quite pared-back and it looks awesome. But I might get the graphite cause it matches with my MacBook and it'll age well. Still undecided I guess
@@neobaloyii I had the exact same dilemma but went for Graphite pro max - I think it will age better and matches my MacBook in space gray. Anyway either one is a great choice, enjoy :)
@@neobaloyii what about the green?
@@JackHackett1 The green looks awesome as well, but I'm yet to see it in hand. But to be honest I don't see myself getting it cause it's quite a rich colour
using same phone as your, just the colour gold with a spigen case slapped on! gets through the day like butter
I’m currently using my graphite iPhone 12 Pro Max awaiting the next iPhone 14 pro max. I’m over the notch so I’m ready for something different even if it’s that weird “I” shaped punch out.
Using a Samsung Note10+, got it the day it came out. I came from an iPhone before. Bought the new Macbook Pro 14" bc of the processing power and I'm going back to iPhone next month
the 13 Pro is my most satisfied iPhone yet. Camera, battery life, screen all nailed it. Now you can even unlock with masks on!
Got the 12 and I’m very happy with it. Won’t be upgrading any time soon
I'm still using my iPhone X. I really like it but i think i probably swith to the 13 Pro because i really like the Design of it.
G’day mate, I’m using an iPhone 11 Pro Max that I bought six months after it was first released. I like it, it’s pretty good, and I don’t see myself buying a another iPhone for sometime.
Great video keep up the good work.
iPhone 13 pro max 256gb graphite black ! migrating from android to iPhone ! still missing the open source kind of feel of phones ! but overall the iPhone 13 pro max is one hell o f a machine ! especially the battery , an easy 28 hours battery life on usual screen time activities !
I have the 13 pro max and the battery life is insane you can't kill it in one day
I have the 13 pro and it lasts me 2-3 days with my usage. Can't imagine how long the pro max would last me.
i m using iphone xr right now but i m planning to switch to 13 Pro after watching your previous video it changed my mind from 13 to 13pro now and thanks for making amazing videos
Iphone 13 pro. Loving it. Never was into cameras and taking pictures, however, after playing around with this camera, I've started to enjoy it more. Great video.
I’m using an iPhone 13 pro and I get an average of 9 and a half hours of use everyday and tiktok is 60% of usage with yt being 25% the better life on this thing is amzing
Great video, Oliur. I currently use the iPhone 11 Pro Max and it's a beast. I got it day 1 and the only thing that's falling behind is the low light photography. I'm excited to see what the 14 has to offer.
i’m using an iphone 12 right now and i gotta say: one of the most polished experiences ever. I didn’t think i’d care much about the camera or the optimisation, since i shifted to ios from android for the longevity, but holy shit. i get why people don’t want to shift away from iOS (i might be morphing into one of them!)
I’m using the iPhone 11 Pro Max since January 2020. And got the Z fold 2 in Feb 2021. I still love the camera on my iPhone. It takes cleaner, more naturally detailed and texture resolving photos. The Z fold 2 is a decent phone but the images have that typical Samsung over-sharpening which makes me not want to use the camera on it as much. This makes the experience of owning it a bit unsavoury. The iPhone’s “fewer but more consistent and refined” way of doing things compared to the feature rich Samsung, does make my experience of using it much more fulfilling and satisfying. After having used the Samsung Fold for over a year, I don’t think foldables are the future. I really don’t mind Apple not coming up with a foldable iPhone. It’s also due to the scale at which Apple needs to produce iPhones compared to the competitors that makes it difficult for them to bring in dramatic new tech and features every year. Samsung can afford to do that since they don’t sell as many phones. That’s cheeky but true.
still using iPhone 7 plus here. btw, it’s always pleasure watching your videos. so good
Still rocking a s10. Planing on switching to an iPhone this summer
Using iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB Sierra Blue, went for the maxed out version,because I don’t really carry anything besides my phone and since I was upgrading form iPhone XS 512GB I thought I’d go for the screen and even more storage 🔥
I also can’t go without this phone because It’s my work station, I do everything on it
I have movies and music on it, working programs and all sort of stuff
So I couldn’t be happier, I love it so much, I use it in Pitaka Mag Ez case and this by far the best case I ever had, sleek and minimal design,such a premium feel 💯
Iphone 13 mini loving the form factor
Currently on iPhone 12 Pro Max and still love the photo quality. Can't wait for iPhone 14 Pro! 😚
Am using the same iPhone and love the leather case..There's nothing which gives the same feel like it. Apple has nailed the leather case this time.
I’ve been a lifelong Samsung user but I’ve been considering switching to Apple. Should I get the 13 or wait for the 14?
Really well done video as always 👌 Loved the visuals and the review ❤️
Using the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and I'd really like to see what Apple can do with a Periscope Lens.
yeah the periscope lense should be coming to the iPhone 15
I’ve got iPhone 13 pro max 256GB Sierra blue Absolutely an phone, i’m getting between 3 to 4 days on a heavy use
I’m currently using the standard vanilla iPhone 13 in blue
I am currently using the iPhone 8 and I love it. I will upgrade to the 13 pro in a few days. I don’t see a point on waiting for the 14 because I really like the notch (I wouldn’t like to see a pill shaped thing on the top of my screen) and I also love the camera bump so I wouldn’t risk waiting for a phone which may have a different camera layout or setup or whatever.
12 pro graphite. Trying to see if I can use this for 4 years. I’m done with my 2 year upgrades.
I’m using iPhoneX and thinking to buy iPhone 13pro or Sony a73. But, confused of what to buy.
still using an iPhone8 plus for 6+ year and it still working pretty good after ocasionlly full reset.
It’s 18:19 and my 13 Pro is at 69 % and 4 hours of screen on time. I mostly used TikTok, UA-cam and WhatsApp today. My brightness was at an average of 70 %, 120hz on (it’s a must have, but also a battery drainer) and 5G combined with Wi-Fi (mostly 5G). I’ve also been using the phone in the background while listening to music.
The cameras are really great and the display is perfect.
I still miss some features from my old Samsung like USB-C, reverse wireless charging my earbuds and always on display.
I use my AirPods a lot and with noice cancelling I drain their battery very fast. 8 hours a day is really a lot of listening and sometimes a forget to charge them, so a feature like reverse wireless charging would help a lot.
i just switched from s22 ultra to the standard iPhone 13 and i have 0 regrets
I just love how Pro Max users don’t mind going standard Pro anymore
I'm using a iPhone 13 mini for the form factor. While some people love big phones, I just love the 13 mini. I only wish the screen was 120Hz display.
