I have the same 16 pro max If you have the funds and want better battery life, then go for it. If not then just stick with the 13 for at least another year 👍🏽
watching from my 13 pro max and got it about a month now upgraded from iphone X. I’ve been watching these for years and I can say its battery is superb! Even the release of 16 series, I still got my eye on 13PM as my best iphone model yet. Definitely loving it 😁
Watching in my 13 pro max .. i have it before 6 month upgrading from 7 plus … man com onnnn its beast this phone till its stop working.. mann strong battery.. amazing cameras..120 hz..cinematic mode.. strong ship.. alll what u need u have it.. in perfect way.. nothing important to upgrade at all from 13 pro mad and up to be honest man
@@JohnLCharette I was the kind of person who upgraded every year; this is the longest I had a phone going on 4 years. I am looking forward to a new redesign and bigger phone. I always wanted the Max and bigger battery. Plus I have bad eyes I will embrace the brightness nit when walking outside in the sun. The iPhone 17Pro Max would be a dramatic upgrade coming from the 13 Pro
I’ll be upgrading my 13 Pro Max next month to the 16 Pro max. It’s time for my 3 year upgrade and I’d rather get a few nice upgrades before they do a major redesign with the 17 since I’m hearing it’ll have new features and most likely won’t be optimized till the 18 series anyway.
That's the ONLY big thing that's improved. It's actually really impressive for video. If you check out my latest two videos reviewing ProArt motherboards, I used my iPhone 16 Pro Max as my main A-roll camera. I've never done that before. It's slick.
Good catch!! I hadn’t touched my 13 Pro Max for a few weeks once I got the new phone. Turned it on to record this video. I’ll definitely keep that in mind, especially with benchmarks. Thank you.
😢 my speaker is low when taking calls on the 13 pro max - and in my opinion it’s so heavy. I use the 15 pro max for content , would you suggest getting an iPhone 16 pro ?
Unless you nee the 48MP camera on the 16 Pro, I would stick with your 15 Pro Max for your content. As for the weight, yeah the Pro Max series is heavy. My wife switched from a 13 Pro to a normal 15 as her daily driver and loves it. She didn't need all the fancy cameras.
Yeah, I assume they want the extra room for something but considering they still need to make a version with the SIM slot, I wonder how it benefit people without.
I hadn't really jump into Apple Intelligence much when I recorded that video. I'd like to do a separate video about camera quality and AI tools such as the ChatGPT implementation. Thank you for the reminder though. Appreciate it.
Absolutely! It’s a great phone. You get the 120hz OLED screen, which is the best part. Great battery life, good cameras. Definitely still holds up in 2025.
@@JohnLCharette Either the app has problems detecting CPU and GPU(I got 33k GPU that is more than the IPhone 16 Pro Max) or Apple’s logic isn’t logical 😢
I don't think the processors are any different between the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. So, it's most likely just a silicon lottery type thing. Congrats on 1K subs, btw.
Thanks for pointing that out. I should’ve been a little more careful with the phrasing in that part. I’ll try to be a bit more precise in my future videos. Appreciate the feedback.
I'm currently using the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max is still the best iPhone Apple has ever made.
Yeah, I was really happy with my 13 Pro Max. My mother-in-law will enjoy it very much :)
Why?
I sold it to her ;)
If you really thought that was true, you’d be using an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I had already bought a 16 Pro Max before I realized my mistake.
I have the same 16 pro max

100% agree.

Yeah, I hear you, the 13 Pro Max still holds up great! Definitely my favorite iPhone so far.

Yup, I agree. The 13 Pro Max is an excellent phone.
@ 👍💯
Still using my iPhone 13 Pro & will be upgrading to iPhone 17 Pro Max in September.
May I ask why the 17 Pro Max? Is it just 'time for an upgrade' or is there a special feature you hope to see in the next model?

I’m currently using a 16 pro
And it’s amazing🎉
Love it. Thank you. Have the iPhone 13 Pro Max nothing is wrong with it and now I know that I really don't need to upgrade.
Correct. Had I known before I ordered, I would have kept my 13 Pro Max.

Yeah, that's a good approach. Similar to not buying the first year of a vehicle refresh for the same reason.
Except for the weight, the 13 pro and pro max are legendary.
I was using 13 pm and now upgraded to 16 pro max the camera 📷 which have in 13 pm is very good and processer is also very good

@ I will watch it now
I have used 13 pro max for 3 years
And 16 pro max for 3 months now!
I would say performance and camera 📸 are only top best in 16pro max
100% agree.
16 pro max is on ios 18.2 and the 13 pm is on 18.1. Definitely a bit un-off comparison there. Not too much but just to say 5:44

I bought a 13 pro max “refurbished” for $400 last week. Came sealed in the box and is flawless literally. Best phone I’ve ever had
Good find! Yeah, I'm tempted to search for used 13 Pro Max to have as an extra phone.
I hate that they took the physical SIM away
Yeah, I assume they want the extra room for something but considering they still need to make a version with the SIM slot, I wonder how it benefit people without.
Did they increase the size 13 pro max ? Dude that’s bigger then my 13 pro max
Haha, probably just my small hands or the camera angle. Size hasn't changed ;)
I'm using 16 pro max my first iphone needed a change
I'm using 16 pro max my first iphone needed a change from years of android
What are your thoughts switching from Android? I made the switch around iPhone 10.
Nice review but what about ChatGPT?
I hadn't really jump into Apple Intelligence much when I recorded that video. I'd like to do a separate video about camera quality and AI tools such as the ChatGPT implementation. Thank you for the reminder though. Appreciate it.
Does anybody know where can i buy the iPhone 13 pro max please?
In Canada, I would check Facebook Marketplace or Kijiji.
Worth to buy 13 pro max in 2025?
Absolutely! It’s a great phone. You get the 120hz OLED screen, which is the best part. Great battery life, good cameras. Definitely still holds up in 2025.
It’s the best.!
Well if i say if the iphone 16 pro max had blue colour like 13 pro max i definitely buy it
6:05 My IPhone 16 Pro has 3559 single core and 8946 multi core 💀
You crushed mine. Well done!

@@JohnLCharette Understood!
Thank you very much!🤩🥳
Bro got the % faster totally wrong
You should have said this % slower to the 13 pro max or the % itself would change to like 50+% faster for gpu
Thanks for pointing that out. I should’ve been a little more careful with the phrasing in that part. I’ll try to be a bit more precise in my future videos. Appreciate the feedback.
I’m watching with an 16pro max battery doesn’t go down under 50% each day
Give it a year ;) Yeah, mine's pretty good right now too.
