The iPhone 13 & 13 mini are both fantastic iPhones in my eyes, and hold up really well even almost 3 years later- for the most part, at least. Any of you using the iPhone 13 right now? How's it working for you? Do you think it's still worth it in 2024?
The 13 mini is the greatest phone ever created. The only downside to it is that it has an OLED panel, which burns in very quickly. Mini LED would be a nice thing to have.
The iPhone 13 was peak Apple in my opinion. The 13 series seems to be aging like fine wine. I believe it’ll be praised in the same way the iPhone 4s is praised.
I agree, I upgraded from the 13 Pro Max to the 15 Pro Max and it genuinely caused so much sadness, I had to return it. It was way too similar to the 13 Pro Max in terms of literally everything and so I agree, the 13 series is peak Apple. 120Hz option, a mini option, fantastic battery across all and the best colour choices (I absolutely miss my Sierra Blue) and pretty much identical to the 14 series.
Love my 13. Had it since January 2022. Currently at 88% battery health after well over 500 cycles. I’ll get a new battery next year and keep till software support ends
I love my IPhone 13 (purchased in April 2022, starlight, 128 GB), and I will keep it until 2028..! It’s ALL that you really need..good cameras, good battery, durable..! You don’t need satellite connectivity nor crash detection in your IPhones! Don’t go too far in “cell range” or take a Garmin hand beacon in case of being lost and as for, crash detection, ALL cars have that today! Don’t forget that the more electronics in your phone, the more can go wrong! You should ❤️❤️ your IPhone 13, as it is known as one of the best ever made!
Only since 13th series they started 5g cellular availability..that's why I'm looking starting here. But: I don't like that they keep pushing like only face unlocking and fingerprint availability is going away. I've been looking for a bigger view both on websites and especially on this app here videos although using phone rarely outside(I'm not a fun of phones) just when I need to..however I will definitely not buy any not new phone so now I got troubled by having no choice like iphone 14pro max and this is nor the futures nor the money I would consider to spend. I'm on IPhone 8 Plus since it the beginning and battery is 88%. I had never experienced any problems.

Reassuming what I would wish is 1/ new phone because of battery 2/no forcing face ID (I dislike that as well as never taking selfies) 3)I wish..but seeing prices well;(.. being able to watch and read on bigger screen.

13 pro max owner here since one week after its release and got to say that it’s probably one of if not the best iPhone that Apple has ever released! The display, battery, refresh rate and chipset are by far the best I’ve ever had the privilege of using. If you’re looking to upgrade your iPhone and want to get a high speed one that doesn’t break the bank, PLEASE look at the iPhone 13 line up, it won’t disappoint!
I have the 15 promax coming from the 12 pro max and I have always admired the 13 pro max but didn’t make enough sense for me to go from the 12 pro max to the 13 pro max so I kept it since 2020 till the 15 pro max launched so I got it, still the 13 pro max and it’s family is one of the goat of all time
@@canyoncanyon2017 yeah if I’m being honest, I jumped from the iPhone 11 to the 13 pro max because I always liked the bigger screen and also well lots of other cool things came with it too, bigger battery, build quality was really nice too, OLED screen man it was a pretty big jump and I felt that! The 11 was a great phone don’t get me wrong but man it’s crazy how Apple managed to improve in just 2 more years😭🙏
@@Nothing-nf8veif you can find a great deal for a new one then yeah I say you should go for it. Then again you could also wait for the 16 and see if anything substantial comes out of it but it’s up to you lol
Should work for 2&1/2 with feature updates and then 2 more with security updates. It’ll take a lot of work to make me use anything but this mini. I might just get an Android or give up on having a smartphone.
@@ELMARIACHI13 That’s not accurate. It will not receive feature updates past 2026 and no security updates past 2028. That’s the standard life span of iphones. I’m not sure where you got that 2030 figure from, that would be 8 years of support which is unheard of for iPhones (excluding the iOS 12 update from a while back).
I was between the 13 and the 14, ended up picking the 13 because of the 100$ price difference, I don't regret it one bit, basically same processor, and with a better battery.
I have my 13 mini for about 2 years now, and won’t be upgrading until this phone dies. It is holding up so great, honestly, I’ve never had the feeling the phone was slowing down or anything. I mostly use my phone for messaging, calling and checking socials and sometimes play some games. If you want a smaller phone I would definitely still recommend this phone.
Ive never had an iphone, my family has always bought me a samsung, i thought iphones were crazy expensive but i see that they are cheap and affordable, so im getting an iphone 13
Never considering updates or anything.. as long as it runs stable.. each of OS upgrades needs specific kernel but if it only causes the device to slow down or even laggy.. its not worth the upgrade..
@@liquidtotem77 it’s been decent overall. Takes a while to get used to the lack of home button and the Face ID is temperamental at times which can be a bit frustrating but on the whole, it’s great. Much better camera and the battery life is insane in comparison.
Almost every one of my friends that has an iPhone has either a 13, a 13 pro, a 13 mini or a 13 pro max. It just seems to be that good among apples lineup of phones. One or two of them tried dabbling with the 15 and decided they didn't care about the weird pill notch design, returned them and bought 13's, saving a lot of money in the process.
Just upgrading from my iPhone XR to iPhone 13 this week! Felt a huge jump for me, Bionic 15 is a great. Notch is also smaller. Will hold onto this for at least 4 years before thinking to get maybe iPhone 15 😂
I am Using iPhone 13 for almost 1 year and it’s safe to say it was a great purchase! The 14 is basically the same, the only reason why would I pick 14 over 13 is better reliability. The back-glass is removable so it is much much cheaper to replace it.
Got mine for Christmas in 2022 and loved it ever since. Might get the 17 Pro max next year when it releases but for now I am so happy with this and will not upgrade. This phone does not fail me 😊
My 13 pro was probably one of the best iPhones I’ve ever owned… the battery in that phone was phenomenal, over 2 years and battery health was only at 89% and that was with heavy use during those 2 years.. I have a 15 pro now but I do reminisce about my 13 pro, it was just a great piece of phone
I used my iPhone 8 256 gb since Oct 2020 until it broke on March 2024. My mom was going to buy me the 15 and told me not to to worry about the budget cuz she wanted me to not have problems about secondhand phones anymore. But after hearing recommendations from my auntie, they decided to just go for the 13 since they told me it was revolutionary. I didn’t believe at first but I was happy with any phone as long as it was brand new (I’ve always got secondhand phones which gave me a lot of problems. Even the iPhone 11 was good enough for me as long as it was brand new.) I got the 13 on April 11, 2024. The battery life is AMAZING. The change from the 8 to the 13 was so new to me. I love it! I’m planning to keep this phone until I graduate on 2027. It’s just enough to receive updates until that year. Also, I really saw how many people praised the iPhone 13 and I loved it even more. 😂
I have a product red 13 mini as my iPod replacement at my job and i love it. I had a full sized blue 13 that I gave to my dad once i (sadly) upgraded to the 14 Pro Max, its still the phone i recommend to all my family and friends. Great battery life, great cameras and a great deal overall 👍
I upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini back in January, and I absolutely love it. I know it gets a lot of love on this platform, and I was hoping Apple would recycle its form factor for the new SE. As I’m not a fan of full cases, I use my Product Red 13 Mini with a bumper, MagSafe grip and wrist strap. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for the content.
I upgraded from SE2 to the dark green 13 when it came out with intention to keep it for as long as I can and I have to say that I am beyond happy. I think that I’ll hold onto it untill it won’t have problems or untill something groundbreaking will come out with new generations (which I doubt).
I went from an iPhone 12 mini to the 13 mini a little over two years ago. It’s been a great phone and a LOT better with heat management and battery life. My battery health is now at 88%. It’s noticeably not as strong as before, but still a great phone that I will likely have for at least another year or so! Truly hope the mini returns.
I have bought several phones from Amazon renewed they have been great and you have 365 days to return. I love your videos. ❤ I have the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini I love these phones.
The blocky design is my all time favorite, I’ve had an iPhone since my 5s.. I was so mad when they went away from the blocky design and glad they went back
I’ve had the iPhone 11 for years ( never had a problem just broke the screen and the touch sensor) but I ended up getting the iPhone 13 the other day still don’t know what’s new about it but I sure am loving it
14 lineup isn’t worth it to me at all, the battery seems to deteriorate much faster, my brother had his for about a little over a year and he’s at 93% battery health, it took me 2 years on my 13 pro to hit 90% battery health.. my brother has a 14 pro and is already at 88% battery health in a year and a half
I’ve been using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Gave it a new battery this year. Glad I did. Getting that amazing battery life again and the phone screen barely dims out anymore. This phone is a massive keeper. Keeping it till the end of software support
using iphone 13 since july 2022 and this phone is unbreakable. i dropped it many times on different surfaces (in case tho) but glass on both sides is pristine. none of my phones before (iphone 4s, iphone 7 plus and several androids in between) had this superpower. the design was improved so much, i forgot how the phone model can have its signature deceases (like faulty wifi antenna in iphone 4s and boot loop in iphone 7) (all tech specs are on the second place for me hhh) cameras are great, screen is great, charging is fast, the phone is fast itself
I bought the 13 back in September of 2023 (same time the 15 lineup came out) and to this day it still runs very well. The A15 chip still holds up in 2024 and I haven’t had any problems with battery and performance. The notch never really bothered me and I honestly think it’s look much cleaner with it being small. My only problem is that it doesn’t have a ProMotion display but none of the base models do to begin with. Still a great mid-range phone that’s worth it in 2024
Just got an IPhone 13 a few days ago. Such a lovely sleek and high performing phone. My friends told me after 13 series, IPhones aren’t upgrading exponentially to justify the price of a 15. Happy with my purchase.
Currently using my 13 that i got about 6 months after launch. Quite honestly, minus a couple infrequent hiccups, it’s still a fast as the day i got it. So far, it’s the best phone i’ve ever owned.
Was using 12mini from 2020 upto 2022, which is when I upgraded to 13mini. Love it. The battery health is down to 85%, once it reaches 82% will get a new battery and stick with the phone till when I can. Its just so easy to carry. Put in your pockets and just forget its even there; even while sitting you dont need to remove it from your pocket.
I just bought a brand new iphone 13 so this is definitely helpful! I've been searching for more recent information but most are from when the phone first came out. (Also yes, it is brand new from the apple website haha)
I have a iPhone 13 and let’s just say it’s a great iPhone for what you get. Unfortunately my time with it is ending in September but I have it since July 2022 and I will be upset to get rid of it but for the time being I love this phone!
This video rlly helped me out learning some new stuff about the 13. I've been a Samsung user my whole life and planning on buying a iphone 13 to try apple out. Great video!
I hunted down and purchased a 13 mini brand new discounted at a local tech store as I’m not a fan of bigger phones. I bought it earlier this year. I enjoy music more than social media and all that i feel are distractions. I do love the mini but I just recently noticed that the battery health status has dropped to 99 percent health already 😢
The iPhone 13 is absolutely perfect in every way. The A15 makes it super efficient, and the screen is great too. All around a solid phone. I have no reason to get the IPhone 15.
I have the white iPhone 13 I bought back in January of 2024. It’s a great phone. It’s cheaper, still looks like it was released yesterday. And best off, it has a SIM card slot. Honestly that’s the only reason I bought the 13. If the 15 pro had a SIM card tray, I would have definitely bought it. But my carrier doesn’t support it
Did you do it yourself or you went to Apple? When I had an iPhone 8, I replace the battery every time. I feel like the newer phones could break easier if I try doing it.
Had to switch from 12 mini just bc of the battery life, got the 13 and never had to worry bout the reliability of my handheld ever since. Simply love this one. ;)
I have one ( and an android) the 13 is a great phone. I’ve had mine over a year and the battery is still 100% ( well it says that in battery management) only drawback was it experienced the rainbow screen of death just before its one year warranty expired. Apple fitted me a new screen for free
My 13 Pro has been holding up pretty well but man the battery health is going down faster than expected. I’m at 83% for now but the moment it goes to 75% I’ll probably switch it out ( I am a delivery driver so having a longer battery life is essential ) other than that though it’s been pretty well at whatever I need it for. Definitely recommend it as a backup or vacation phone.
I'm still on an iPhone XR and haven't changed my battery yet. Certain AI features and location services cause my phone to lag out now. But after disabling most it still works quite well. So I could see iPhone 13 easily lasting another 3 years.
iPhone 13 is my First iPhone. I shifted from android with 120Hz to iPhone 13 but it's unnoticeable I also love the ios software. I didn't regret buying this iPhone and it's my first ever iPhone
My buddy upgraded to a 13 from a XR. Originally i recommended a 14 just cause it was newer and might get a year more in software support but the 13 is actually very nice. It has good battery life a great camera and it’s still so fast.
I got a second hand iPhone 13 mini. Love the size but the battery has degraded to 83% and that it unsettling as I need to take a power bank with me. Otherwise it’s great. Smaller keyboard needs a bit of adjusting but soon gets used to it
I got my iPhone 13 when it come out and me personally I absolutely love it! I have had it since January 2022 and I plan to get another brand new iPhone 13 it’s just what I need
I went from the iPhone SE 2nd Gen to the iPhone 14 last year. No complaints here. I probably would have went with the iPhone 13, but the 14 also has the Satellite SOS connectivity and automatic crash detection which is important for me since I travel a lot.
I have the iPhone 13 in blue as my secondary phone for business. With my primary and personal phone being the 15 pro max. Switching back and forth between these two phones doesn’t at all feel like I’m going from a more premium phone to a less premium one. They both feel fantastic. Apple does well when tailoring the software to its hardware capabilities. And the blue colour is the best blue Apple have made for iPhone. Which was one of the reasons I got it instead of the iPhone 14, with blue being my favourite colour. To anyone unsure about getting it, go for it 100%. Like josh said in the video Apple will continue supporting this iPhone with software updates for years and years to come. Still feels modern because of its timeless design and it’s the same design language as the current iPhone 15 line up.
Love my iPhone 13 Pro Max.Still going strong ,even better with iOS 17.5. Update.Wouldn’t change it for the 14 or 15.Best of all we have support for iPhone 13 until 2028-2030. 😁👍
I had a 13 mini and a 13 pro. Still have both although I gave the mini to my daughter but the 13 line is all worth it. It seems like Apple does a hit and then a miss. The 11 series was applauded,the twelve series seemed to be iffy,13 was a hit,14 series choices were once again iffy and then 15 once again is well rounded 🤣
Just bought the 13 mini last month. Love it so far. (Came from a 12 mini. I know kind of a pointless switch, but with no more mini coming up I had no choice when getting a new phone and I want to use it as long as possible)
I bought mine in March Huge upgrade from my broken 12 mini and my SE Battery health is 86% but it still lasts for 8 to 9 hours on moderate usage 7 hours if I go heavy Cameras get the job done and it's enough for Instagram This is the best feeling iPhone ever I got it for $450
I just got the 13 two days ago after using android for 10 years. I was worried about 60hz screen bcs my previous phone got 120hz but I personally don’t notice any difference unless it was side by side comparison.
iPhone 13 base model will receive updates up to 2027-2028. It will be updated but those updates get more complex and some features later on won’t be available on iPhone 13. But it’s a fast iPhone it zips. But battery life I think is good you can expect 6-7 hours of screen on time. Overall it has good camera system, zippy performance and good battery life. In 2024 and beyond will still be a good buy now.
I loved the iPhone 13 but I wanted the Dynamic Island and the 48MP camera of the iPhone 15 and I have the 15 now my mom has the 13 now and she loves it and I love the iPhone 15
I love my 13 mini fits in my pocket very well pics looks great and so far i have droped it about 6 times and nothing is wrong. even the paint is unflawed.
I upgraded from Xr to 13 and I didnt regret it the 13 is still fast camera is still the best had to compare it to my friend’s 14 i cant see the difference the best line up for me is the 13 series
I bought one brand new half a year ago. It’s got headroom for years performance wise but somehow, with very light use and low brightness, it fell all the way down to 75% BH
My iPhone 13 has been good so far, it has definitely lasted longer than my old iPhone SE, that lost 10% of it's maximum capacity in 6 months, my iPhone 13 has only lost 1% and I've had it for 5 months. I still think I should've stayed on the iPhone SE and just got the battery replacement, the battery in that phone was probably faulty.
I have an iphone 13 for 2 years. Honestly it is still a very very good option in 2024. Battery is also very good (on 92% health) and ill be keeing this phone for atleast 2 years, and just might get battery replaced when needed.
iPhone 11 pro still riding till the wheels fall off. 12 or 13 mini (or whatever remains/becomes jailbreakable) will be next when that day comes. I must admit the ear speaker, mute switch and volume up button have gone out, but considering I break everything I own, its doing great. It's not jailbroken anymore :/
Love your videos ❤ I have the iPhone 13 and the 13 mini the red ones❤ I also have the 15 Pro and the 15+ I just went back to my iPhone 13 today. I love my red.
The iPhone 13 & 13 mini are both fantastic iPhones in my eyes, and hold up really well even almost 3 years later- for the most part, at least.
Any of you using the iPhone 13 right now? How's it working for you? Do you think it's still worth it in 2024?
The iPhone 13 is worth it in 2024 because it’s still getting updates and full app support and apple not slowing down the phone yet.
The 13 mini is the greatest phone ever created. The only downside to it is that it has an OLED panel, which burns in very quickly. Mini LED would be a nice thing to have.
I am using my IPhone 13 right now, and I ❤️ it!
Yes,using IPhone 13 Pro Max.Working great still,even better after iOS 17.5 update.Still very much worthwhile in 2024. 😁👍
as an iphone 13 user, still super smooth and can go head to head with other smartphones in 2024.
The iPhone 13 was peak Apple in my opinion. The 13 series seems to be aging like fine wine. I believe it’ll be praised in the same way the iPhone 4s is praised.

I just upgraded from the 8 to the 13 today but it doesn't ship until next week! How are you liking it so far? Was it a decent upgrade?
@@liquidtotem77 it’s been decent overall. Takes a while to get used to the lack of home button and the Face ID is temperamental at times which can be a bit frustrating but on the whole, it’s great. Much better camera and the battery life is insane in comparison.
I upgraded to a 13 from a XR this past summer. My mobile plan said I was due for an upgrade and this was the cheapest one. No regrets.
I upgraded from XR to 13 few weeks ago and i can say no regrets at all, i’m loving my 13
@@richy2138is the camera quality difference very noticeable?
Almost every one of my friends that has an iPhone has either a 13, a 13 pro, a 13 mini or a 13 pro max. It just seems to be that good among apples lineup of phones. One or two of them tried dabbling with the 15 and decided they didn't care about the weird pill notch design, returned them and bought 13's, saving a lot of money in the process.
Just upgrading from my iPhone XR to iPhone 13 this week! Felt a huge jump for me, Bionic 15 is a great. Notch is also smaller. Will hold onto this for at least 4 years before thinking to get maybe iPhone 15 😂
I got my 13 Pro Max in February and I love it Greatest iPhone I've had after leaving Apple and going with Samsung for five years Glad I returned
I just upgrade an iPhone 13 from 7 about 1 week ago and it really surprise me!
I am Using iPhone 13 for almost 1 year and it’s safe to say it was a great purchase! The 14 is basically the same, the only reason why would I pick 14 over 13 is better reliability. The back-glass is removable so it is much much cheaper to replace it.
I’m upgrading this weekend. I’m rocking the iPhone 11 right now. My wife just got the iPhone 15 Pro Max so I am getting her old iPhone 13. 🎉
I used my iphone6 plus for 6yrs and this week I will gt my new iphone 13 soo excited
Used my iphone 8 for 5,6 years
Got mine for Christmas in 2022 and loved it ever since. Might get the 17 Pro max next year when it releases but for now I am so happy with this and will not upgrade. This phone does not fail me 😊
My 13 pro was probably one of the best iPhones I’ve ever owned… the battery in that phone was phenomenal, over 2 years and battery health was only at 89% and that was with heavy use during those 2 years.. I have a 15 pro now but I do reminisce about my 13 pro, it was just a great piece of phone
I used my iPhone 8 256 gb since Oct 2020 until it broke on March 2024. My mom was going to buy me the 15 and told me not to to worry about the budget cuz she wanted me to not have problems about secondhand phones anymore. But after hearing recommendations from my auntie, they decided to just go for the 13 since they told me it was revolutionary. I didn’t believe at first but I was happy with any phone as long as it was brand new (I’ve always got secondhand phones which gave me a lot of problems. Even the iPhone 11 was good enough for me as long as it was brand new.) I got the 13 on April 11, 2024. The battery life is AMAZING. The change from the 8 to the 13 was so new to me. I love it! I’m planning to keep this phone until I graduate on 2027. It’s just enough to receive updates until that year. Also, I really saw how many people praised the iPhone 13 and I loved it even more. 😂
We’re the same!
I have a product red 13 mini as my iPod replacement at my job and i love it. I had a full sized blue 13 that I gave to my dad once i (sadly) upgraded to the 14 Pro Max, its still the phone i recommend to all my family and friends. Great battery life, great cameras and a great deal overall 👍
I upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini back in January, and I absolutely love it. I know it gets a lot of love on this platform, and I was hoping Apple would recycle its form factor for the new SE.
As I’m not a fan of full cases, I use my Product Red 13 Mini with a bumper, MagSafe grip and wrist strap. Would definitely recommend.
Thanks for the content.
The iPhone 13 holds up so well! Also love the use of Persona music in the video. Cheers!
I upgraded from SE2 to the dark green 13 when it came out with intention to keep it for as long as I can and I have to say that I am beyond happy. I think that I’ll hold onto it untill it won’t have problems or untill something groundbreaking will come out with new generations (which I doubt).
Every time I feel the need to upgrade my 13, I watch a video like this and I'm fine :)
I went from an iPhone 12 mini to the 13 mini a little over two years ago. It’s been a great phone and a LOT better with heat management and battery life.
My battery health is now at 88%. It’s noticeably not as strong as before, but still a great phone that I will likely have for at least another year or so!
Truly hope the mini returns.
I have bought several phones from Amazon renewed they have been great and you have 365 days to return. I love your videos. ❤ I have the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 13 mini I love these phones.
The blocky design is my all time favorite, I’ve had an iPhone since my 5s.. I was so mad when they went away from the blocky design and glad they went back
I’ve had the iPhone 11 for years ( never had a problem just broke the screen and the touch sensor) but I ended up getting the iPhone 13 the other day still don’t know what’s new about it but I sure am loving it
Yeah it’s either 15 or 13 at this point
14 is just same as 13
Most of the upgrades 14 got are not that I care about
14 lineup isn’t worth it to me at all, the battery seems to deteriorate much faster, my brother had his for about a little over a year and he’s at 93% battery health, it took me 2 years on my 13 pro to hit 90% battery health.. my brother has a 14 pro and is already at 88% battery health in a year and a half
I’ve been using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Gave it a new battery this year. Glad I did. Getting that amazing battery life again and the phone screen barely dims out anymore. This phone is a massive keeper. Keeping it till the end of software support
how did u give a new battery very curious
@@sebastianfrost661 I went to the Apple Store and got a new battery
@@sebastianfrost661 got a new battery at the Apple Store
This is the video I was looking for
using iphone 13 since july 2022 and this phone is unbreakable. i dropped it many times on different surfaces (in case tho) but glass on both sides is pristine. none of my phones before (iphone 4s, iphone 7 plus and several androids in between) had this superpower. the design was improved so much, i forgot how the phone model can have its signature deceases (like faulty wifi antenna in iphone 4s and boot loop in iphone 7)
(all tech specs are on the second place for me hhh)
cameras are great, screen is great, charging is fast, the phone is fast itself
I bought the 13 back in September of 2023 (same time the 15 lineup came out) and to this day it still runs very well. The A15 chip still holds up in 2024 and I haven’t had any problems with battery and performance. The notch never really bothered me and I honestly think it’s look much cleaner with it being small. My only problem is that it doesn’t have a ProMotion display but none of the base models do to begin with. Still a great mid-range phone that’s worth it in 2024
Just got an IPhone 13 a few days ago. Such a lovely sleek and high performing phone. My friends told me after 13 series, IPhones aren’t upgrading exponentially to justify the price of a 15. Happy with my purchase.
Currently using my 13 that i got about 6 months after launch. Quite honestly, minus a couple infrequent hiccups, it’s still a fast as the day i got it. So far, it’s the best phone i’ve ever owned.
Was using 12mini from 2020 upto 2022, which is when I upgraded to 13mini. Love it. The battery health is down to 85%, once it reaches 82% will get a new battery and stick with the phone till when I can. Its just so easy to carry. Put in your pockets and just forget its even there; even while sitting you dont need to remove it from your pocket.
I just bought a brand new iphone 13 so this is definitely helpful! I've been searching for more recent information but most are from when the phone first came out.
(Also yes, it is brand new from the apple website haha)
How is it?
I have a iPhone 13 and let’s just say it’s a great iPhone for what you get. Unfortunately my time with it is ending in September but I have it since July 2022 and I will be upset to get rid of it but for the time being I love this phone!
Why is your time with it ending?
@@QWERTYQwertz852I’m upgrading to a 16 pro max in September!
Same here
@@QWERTYQwertz852 Im upgrading to a iPhone 16 Pro Max!
Why is your time ending? I will keep my 13 until 2028..!
I’ve been using Iphone 13 mini since 2022 and it is still amazing today
This video rlly helped me out learning some new stuff about the 13. I've been a Samsung user my whole life and planning on buying a iphone 13 to try apple out. Great video!
got an iPhone 13, upgrade from my iPhone 6s 🙏🏽 the battery life is amazing
Great info as always, thanks Josh!
I hunted down and purchased a 13 mini brand new discounted at a local tech store as I’m not a fan of bigger phones. I bought it earlier this year. I enjoy music more than social media and all that i feel are distractions. I do love the mini but I just recently noticed that the battery health status has dropped to 99 percent health already 😢
Have a 2 year old iPhone 13 and its still Great 💪🏼
The iPhone 13 is absolutely perfect in every way. The A15 makes it super efficient, and the screen is great too. All around a solid phone. I have no reason to get the IPhone 15.
Only get 15 if it’s on sale
Love my 13 mini.. still rocking 95% battery health! Best phone I ever used for personal use.
I went from a 7 to a 13 last year huge improvements definitely a good phone
Mine lasted 2 years now it freezes out of nowhere can’t even turn it off
I have the white iPhone 13 I bought back in January of 2024. It’s a great phone. It’s cheaper, still looks like it was released yesterday. And best off, it has a SIM card slot. Honestly that’s the only reason I bought the 13. If the 15 pro had a SIM card tray, I would have definitely bought it. But my carrier doesn’t support it
Still running an XR model.
Only problem is everytime apple does an update I swear more things go wrong with my phone.
Me too. Thinking of getting an iPhone 13.
I got my 13 a week ago and I’m very satisfied with the battery and performance
Just got the battery replaced on my 13 pro. Absolutely worth every penny. It's like a brand new phone again.
Did you do it yourself or you went to Apple? When I had an iPhone 8, I replace the battery every time. I feel like the newer phones could break easier if I try doing it.
@@jimmyboy1582 i had Apple do it
My Xr still works perfectly fine
Had to switch from 12 mini just bc of the battery life, got the 13 and never had to worry bout the reliability of my handheld ever since. Simply love this one. ;)
Got this phone on ebay for a $300 steal! Definitely viable for the next few years as it’s still crazy fast and runs smooth in general
Switched from iPhone SE 2nd gen to 13 mini earlier this year. The only thing I miss from the SE is Touch ID.
I have one ( and an android) the 13 is a great phone. I’ve had mine over a year and the battery is still 100% ( well it says that in battery management) only drawback was it experienced the rainbow screen of death just before its one year warranty expired. Apple fitted me a new screen for free
My 13 Pro has been holding up pretty well but man the battery health is going down faster than expected. I’m at 83% for now but the moment it goes to 75% I’ll probably switch it out ( I am a delivery driver so having a longer battery life is essential ) other than that though it’s been pretty well at whatever I need it for. Definitely recommend it as a backup or vacation phone.
You can change the battery for $129 if you don't care about anything else
if battery life matters all that much to you, getting a plus would be a wise decision imo
I'm still on an iPhone XR and haven't changed my battery yet. Certain AI features and location services cause my phone to lag out now. But after disabling most it still works quite well. So I could see iPhone 13 easily lasting another 3 years.
I’d give it 4 more years
iPhone 13 is my First iPhone. I shifted from android with 120Hz to iPhone 13 but it's unnoticeable I also love the ios software. I didn't regret buying this iPhone and it's my first ever iPhone
Same here!!
First time iphone user here and i got this 13 3 days ago so smooth best phone iv ever own
Which colour did you get?
Blue
Same here I've used android most of my life and this phone is a win. I have the red
My buddy upgraded to a 13 from a XR. Originally i recommended a 14 just cause it was newer and might get a year more in software support but the 13 is actually very nice. It has good battery life a great camera and it’s still so fast.
13 And 14 have same chip, so they both have same tien software updates
I got a second hand iPhone 13 mini. Love the size but the battery has degraded to 83% and that it unsettling as I need to take a power bank with me. Otherwise it’s great. Smaller keyboard needs a bit of adjusting but soon gets used to it
I got my iPhone 13 when it come out and me personally I absolutely love it! I have had it since January 2022 and I plan to get another brand new iPhone 13 it’s just what I need
I went from the iPhone SE 2nd Gen to the iPhone 14 last year. No complaints here. I probably would have went with the iPhone 13, but the 14 also has the Satellite SOS connectivity and automatic crash detection which is important for me since I travel a lot.
For how much?
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 the iPhone 14 was still $799 when I bought it but I had $200 (or a bit more, I forget) off with my trade in.
I have the iPhone 13 in blue as my secondary phone for business. With my primary and personal phone being the 15 pro max. Switching back and forth between these two phones doesn’t at all feel like I’m going from a more premium phone to a less premium one. They both feel fantastic. Apple does well when tailoring the software to its hardware capabilities. And the blue colour is the best blue Apple have made for iPhone. Which was one of the reasons I got it instead of the iPhone 14, with blue being my favourite colour. To anyone unsure about getting it, go for it 100%. Like josh said in the video Apple will continue supporting this iPhone with software updates for years and years to come. Still feels modern because of its timeless design and it’s the same design language as the current iPhone 15 line up.
Love my iPhone 13 Pro Max.Still going strong ,even better with iOS 17.5. Update.Wouldn’t change it for the 14 or 15.Best of all we have support for iPhone 13 until 2028-2030. 😁👍
The iPhone 13 series was the last iPhone that had a physical Sim card. That’s why I kept mine.
Oh really?!
@@dark_nightwing_xl2797 yup!
I had a 13 mini and a 13 pro. Still have both although I gave the mini to my daughter but the 13 line is all worth it. It seems like Apple does a hit and then a miss. The 11 series was applauded,the twelve series seemed to be iffy,13 was a hit,14 series choices were once again iffy and then 15 once again is well rounded 🤣
Just bought the 13 mini last month. Love it so far. (Came from a 12 mini. I know kind of a pointless switch, but with no more mini coming up I had no choice when getting a new phone and I want to use it as long as possible)
I bought mine in March
Huge upgrade from my broken 12 mini and my SE
Battery health is 86% but it still lasts for 8 to 9 hours on moderate usage
7 hours if I go heavy
Cameras get the job done and it's enough for Instagram
This is the best feeling iPhone ever
I got it for $450
I just got the 13 two days ago after using android for 10 years. I was worried about 60hz screen bcs my previous phone got 120hz but I personally don’t notice any difference unless it was side by side comparison.
I bought mine in January 2024, and right now the battery health is already at 90%. Is that normal?
Love my mini13 so pocketable and 1-hand use. Will get a battery replacement when needed to keep it going for several years to come.
iPhone 13 base model will receive updates up to 2027-2028. It will be updated but those updates get more complex and some features later on won’t be available on iPhone 13. But it’s a fast iPhone it zips. But battery life I think is good you can expect 6-7 hours of screen on time. Overall it has good camera system, zippy performance and good battery life. In 2024 and beyond will still be a good buy now.
I loved the iPhone 13 but I wanted the Dynamic Island and the 48MP camera of the iPhone 15 and I have the 15 now my mom has the 13 now and she loves it and I love the iPhone 15
For a first time buyer, would you recommend getting the 13 or paying 150-200 dollars more for the 15? I plan on keeping it for at least 4 years.
@@aaber820113 is a great iPhone but the cameras on the 15 compared to a 13 photo the 15 blows it out the water
I still use the iphone 13, it works great and there's not really any reason for me to get the newer iphone until they stop updating the 13
I am using the iPhone 13 nearly 2 years and it’s still working great
I love my 13 mini fits in my pocket very well pics looks great and so far i have droped it about 6 times and nothing is wrong. even the paint is unflawed.
My student's XR is holding up so good in 2024, I think my 13 will be fine in the next years.
Thanks for the video
I still have my 13, still works great
I upgraded from Xr to 13 and I didnt regret it the 13 is still fast camera is still the best had to compare it to my friend’s 14 i cant see the difference the best line up for me is the 13 series
I bought one brand new half a year ago. It’s got headroom for years performance wise but somehow, with very light use and low brightness, it fell all the way down to 75% BH
My iPhone 13 has been good so far, it has definitely lasted longer than my old iPhone SE, that lost 10% of it's maximum capacity in 6 months, my iPhone 13 has only lost 1% and I've had it for 5 months. I still think I should've stayed on the iPhone SE and just got the battery replacement, the battery in that phone was probably faulty.
iPhone 6s and iPhone 13 are the best iPhones apple has made. And I can proudly say I own both...
I have an iphone 13 for 2 years. Honestly it is still a very very good option in 2024. Battery is also very good (on 92% health) and ill be keeing this phone for atleast 2 years, and just might get battery replaced when needed.
I still love my iPhone 13 🍀 green version in the year 2024! 👍😎😍
One of the best line ups ever
iPhone 11 pro still riding till the wheels fall off. 12 or 13 mini (or whatever remains/becomes jailbreakable) will be next when that day comes. I must admit the ear speaker, mute switch and volume up button have gone out, but considering I break everything I own, its doing great. It's not jailbroken anymore :/
Love your videos ❤ I have the iPhone 13 and the 13 mini the red ones❤ I also have the 15 Pro and the 15+ I just went back to my iPhone 13 today. I love my red.
Just bought a refurbished after I load my mini 12 and this video helps out
