@@trapsy7107I remember going from 11 pro max to 13 pro max and that was already a massive change for me lol. But now if you upgrade an iPhone from like 2 years ago like the 14 pro max to 16 pro max you really see not much of a change. I’ll probably hold off until 19-21 before I do anything with this
@@InsighterofTechthe reason why is because the 13 had 120hz. If you upgrade from a 11 pro max to a 16 plus it probably wont be much of a upgrade even though it is
Just upgraded from the 13 Pro Max, guys. Save your money and don’t do it! It looks virtually the same and the user experience is identical. My battery was at 81% and my carrier gave me the phone for free to stay with them; it’s the only reason I upgraded.
I upgraded my 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max and have no regrets. I didn’t love my 14 Pro Max as much, I adore my 16 Pro Max and battery on it destroys my 14 Pro Max and the camera is much better for the most part.
I love the iPhone 13 Pro Max (and I’ve had it but traded it in for the iPhone 14 Pro Max), but it’s not worth upgrading it to the iPhone 16 Pro Max in my opinion. Only reason why I did that was because of Dynamic Island. Either than that, I don’t see any point in upgrading and even still, iPhone 13 Pro Max battery life is still better than the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s battery life or any of the older models, ANY DAY !
Don't lie, boy, if they were in the same condition, it would be impossible for the 13 to excel, but the 14 did not provide a battery breakthrough, but only a slight improvement.
I'm in this situation. Battery health is down to 84%. I was told if I wait until below 80%, it will be considered damaged and won't be able to trade it in unless I do a battery swap. The 16PM doesn't seem any faster from just scrolling vs the 13PM but I still would like to have the usb c, brigther peak display, thinner bezels, more ram, better camera, longer battery life.
@@RideOnTimePH on what planet does a 13PM have a better battery than the 16PM, which has a more advanced battery, more efficient chip, and a literally physically larger battery?
Do a battery swap and wait for the 17 Pro Max. The 17 series will have a physical redesign and 12gb RAM which is important for on-device features not just AI
My 13PM is on 80% right now. I was told the same thing about it going below 80%. I asked what the difference would be between 80% and 79%...nothing lol. Performance would still be the same, just would be considered "failed" at apple standards. Just do a battery change.
My 13PM has 2 years and 99% battery health. I will not upgrade it this year. The only thing I'm missing on my 13PM is the usb-c port, but still it's not a reason for me to upgrade.
I’m on 12 Pro Max still. I have no reason to upgrade yet. A Dynamic Island and 120hz refresh screen are not make or break features. The USB-C is the only feature I want.
I loved my 13 pro max but I was over how heavy it was. I started to really dislike it and the blue. Limited cases I could use because the protective ones would make it more bulky and hard to hold and enjoy. I got the 16 pro and I really love it. Easy texting, video screen is still enjoyable and the battery is pretty good ! If none of these are an issue, save your money! 13 pro max is still great. Prob would have kept it if it was a 13 pro.
Very informative 😊but I’m very happy with my 11 Pro Max till this day, very fast etc, my battery health at 86% still getting the latest updates too. I even used a 14 plus and 15 pro max and I don’t see the massive speed difference….would you waste money for a hair line speed difference? Not me. Btw, I love my camera on my 11 pro max, head of its time 😊😊
Hey Nick, do we test a BRAND NEW iphone 13 pro max battery vs BRAND NEW 16 pro max battery, or you get already degraded 13 pro max model then compare? I have replaced the battery on my 13 pro max and comopared to my brand new 16 pro max I can't see much of a difference, with the absolutely the same daily usage, i finish the day with 25-30% with both.
The average iPhone user keeps their phone for about 5 years (that’s globally, I think US it’s 3-4 years) as of now the 11 series is the most widely used iPhone. 13 series will probably serve people even longer than the 11 series and 7 series which was just as popular.
Most of my devices last for three and a half to four or five years. The battery will deteriorate. Previously, the device would be slow. Now, it will have an acceptable speed, but the battery needs to be replaced.
Was considering the 16 Pro Max from the 13 Pro Max, but went from the 13 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max, for £375 extra. Still a good upgrade considering the price factor too
Thanks for the video. One note - you can't really compare the battery life of the 2 year old phone with a new one. The fair comparison will be a newly replaced battery. Seems an incremental improvement to me - not worth upgrading.
In my opinion yes because the 13 pro max came with the best battery life since the 11 pro max. The 13 also had more thermal control and of course faster and felt more refined than the 12 pro max which had a ton of problems and terrible battery life much like the 15 pro max. Now we have the 16 pro max that is comparable to the 13 pro max so overall we now have a refined 16 pro max 😊.
If you want better cameras 📷 then go for the pixel 7pro if you want better battery life & you game, then 1+12r. The pixel magic is freaking amazing though I also love the software
I got the 13PM and the 15 PM ………. But that 13PM damn bro that’s just a solid device I might upgrade the 15pm before I get rid of the 13pm first but that’s just me ……….. great videos by the way
@@reesetheisoking3502 the only way the base 15 was better than the 13 pro max was performance (and that too, barely), the addition of Dynamic Island, and slightly better ultra wide and wide cameras. The 13 pm had a way better battery, build, and refresh rate. Also, what’s the point of better performance when the display is capped at 60 Hz? I’d take Promotion any day over a16.
Nah 14 Pro vs S23, two different years. Samsung kept moving their launch date earlier and earlier, to keep from being compared to Apple, so 14 Pro since Samsung wants to be sneaky.
@@eyoo-qs8xd he’s asking to compare phones from two different series, I told him that the 14 series line up with the S23 series. How does that not make sense?
I still have the 8 plus no issues slower than iPhone 14 but a fraction of a second, I will replace my phone when either it quits or apple bring something really Different and new.
I will not upgrading my ip 13 pro and overall is still great but the only bad thing is the battery is not reliable. Maybe i will replace the battery a few years later bc my battery health is 85%
I traded my 13 pro max for a 16 pro. I’ve had maxes and pluses since the 7 plus and just wanted a smaller phone this time. My 13 pm was a great phone though. But I’m happy to have a lighter phone.
People who don’t have the money to upgrade from thier old 13 pro max yapping about the 13 pr9 max still being the king😂😂 come off it the 16 pro max is the new king here
13 pro series is definietely going strong and for most average users who got the pro models, just because this upgrade doesnt make that much sense. For the users who use their phones hard, and notice these changes, I think it is gonna be a bigg upgrade. The thinner bezzels to me look so much better, the dynamic island and its functions can also be useful, always on, usb c, better cameras with higher resolutions, and more performance which is always good. In my case above all of that, I need a bogger phone. My regular 13 pro is still great, but now I am realying more and more on my phone for the work, and the 6,1 inch screen is just not cutting it tbh. I think it will be a reasonable uograde, although mannn the 13 pro series is just so good... it is hard to upgrade from that
I think Apple deliberately launched iPhone 16 series with 8gb ram probably because they already knew AI is anyways not going to be available by the end of 2025.. we might see 12gb ram in iPhone 17 pro models and iPhone 18 all series.. might be best to go for iPhone 19 series as I feel all 16,17 &18 series are going to be nothing but prototypes 😅
Don't upgrade. The 13 Pro Max was the king of battery life when it came out. Still beats even later generation iphones at times.
I don’t plan on upgrading, I love my 13 Pro Max.
@@alaxyendraghosh5818 yeah but if you’ve had it for a while the battery health goes down and deteriorates
