iPhone 13 Pro Max was the best iPhone released by Apple after iPhone 7 Plus. Both these phones had certain upgrades that were much better than their predecessor.
forgetting 11 pro
agreed, the whole 13 line and especially Pros were a big step. By comparison, the regular 14 was a bloody joke.

I have a 14 pro max but for some odd reason I love the 13 pro/max. Regret sending mine back to get the 14
Same
same lol
How mas the experience planning swapping my regular 13 to the 13 pro
The 13 pro max was literally one of the best and one of my favorite iPhones. The battery life, camera and display were top notch. I recently upgraded to the 15 pro max, which I love. But the 13 series will always have a special place in my heart.
Hey quick question I'm planing to upgrade from a Samsung a80 to a iphone 13 pro. Would you say its worth the upgrade now? Thanks
@@guill0t520 same thing here I upgraded from realme 5 pro to iPhone 13 pro yesterday and why I picked the 13 pro over the base model or the 14 series, well it is a bang for my buck, it has better camera as well as the difference from the 14 base model or the pro models aren't really that much of a difference performance wise, price wise it is a better option if you don't have budget for a 13 promax, but if money isn't a problem and the dynamic island is ont of the things that you want, go for the 15 base or pro models
13 pro is great, and the iphone 15 series just released so the price has gone down. I would definitely say it's worth the upgrade@@guill0t520
@@guill0t520 absolutely 💯
Hello! I think it's worth it to upgrade to the iPhone 13 pro, the iPhone usage mode is so much smoother and more satisfying in my opinion. But it depends if you are ready to move from Android to IOS. BBut yes I highly recommend the iPhone 13 is a sure value @@guill0t520
Still enjoying my Sierra Blue after two years and plan to for the next couple of years...
Slightly hot take, but I’d take the 13 Pro over the 14/15 Pro for the battery life alone.
Just got this as a birthday gift 🎉 thanks for this video
I have that very same 13 pro and I'm quite happy with it. Beautiful.
I just bought the iPhone 13 Pro upgrade from iPhone 7. It’s a big jump for me and I love it. ❤
do you recommend it or anything you wanna point out I'm planning to upgrade from my i7 as well
@@ptnnnnnI recommend it, because I came from the iPhone 7 as well. I use it for everyday use and I'm very satisfy with it, nothing I can complain.
Green screen issue will come😅😅
@@nhathoahuynh3308 dumb comment will come
Still have 13pm, and yes its still champ!💪🏽 especially that solid batt💪🏽
The 11 pro and 11 pro max were literally some of the best phones Apple has ever made. I really like the 13 pro too, I just wish the corners were rounded. It’s uncomfortable to hold without a case. It’s such a beautiful phone, though, for sure!
Really professional shot video with loads of details and personality. Ty I’ll be subbing 🤙🏾
Love this series! Keep up the great work mark!
Hey nice work keep going !
Just ordered one thx for the info
I miss my 13 Pro. I wish I'd have kept it. Knucklehead me just HAD to have the 14 Pro Max. Nice phone. Just bigger than I need and my 13 Pro was excellent. Live and learn.
Had plans 2 gt 13pro soon,buh wid dat information,am super excited 😊
I love these videos.
When it comes to older iPhone this is the one to get. Unless you hate the notch, not many will beat this iPhone for it's mostly positive upgrades over it's past 2 siblings. Plus it's stable too.
The 13 pro is still a hit very fantastic phone the pro res video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just went from xr to 13 pro max really nice!
Got the 13 pro when it came out and am still rocking it 💯
I just bought one, the screen is amazing
Watching this on my 13pro max and probably even not upgrading next year. KUDOS!
What’s crazy is the 13 pro is pry my favorite iPhone I’ve never owned. I owned the 13 and the 13 mini. The 13 pro was known for having a great battery and the 13 pro max still has one of the best iPhone batteries ever. I have the 15 pro max currently and my favorite thing about it is the battery. Nice video.
Would be nice to see the Pixel 4a again on this channel. It was a great phone for the price back then but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts about how it held up! I recently upgraded to an IPhone 13mini maybe worth a review as well? (Ik you made one about the 12mini not too long ago but it might be worth it anyways.)
so basically I’m using my dad’s old 13 pro, which he used for like 3 days, because the screen was too small, and he decided to give it to me, but he didn’t realized that it has one TB of storage and after 2 solid years, I wouldn’t change it for nothing that has a smaller storage… I still love it as I did when my dad give it to me…
i can never give up my 13 pro max, definitely the most beautiful iphone color since the gold iphone 8
I'm still love my 13PM. Comming from Android/Samsung enjoying my first iPhone experience. What a battery monster...😎
The 13 pro series remains in my top 3 favorite iPhone of all time. iPhone 8 being 1 and the 15 pro max being 3rd
It's pretty great!
@@MarkSpurrell the iPhone 13 lineup was Apple‘s lucky iPhone, Apple got everything right with them especially the 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 13 series is still worth a purchase in 2023 and beyond.
Thanks Mark, great tech rewind on the iPhone 13 pro.
I bought my iPhone 13 Pro the day it was released and I’m as happy with it today as I was then. I love this phone and Apple are going to have to work some real magic to come up with something I’d want to upgrade to.
Still feelong very snappy? I want to sell my s22 ultra (valued 470ish on used markets) for a 13 pro max. Reason being I would like a change, I would like imessage, and I would definitely like the seamlessness between it and this macbook I was gifted. So impressed with the macbook as a windows desktop user who knows how poor battery is on windows laptops and avoids them. Im hoping to get the same feeling from a phone. You feel like selling my phone and adding 1 hundred or so bucks on top to switch is worth the effort? Or just shell out the money for a newer model?
Honestly had since its release and it’s still amazing no need for upgrade yet
I miss my 13 pro. It was pretty much a perfect phone. No glitches, fast, great battery, great camera.
Just upgraded to a 13 Pro a few days ago from an 11 Pro. I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't offered a great price. The 11 Pro is a great phone and I prefer it's form factor to my new 13 Pro. I am not as comfortable with one hand operation on the 13 Pro as I was on the 11 Pro. The 13 Pro is a great phone, but so is most every other iPhone of the past 5 years. The 13 Pro is still a great phone heading into 2024, but so is the 11 Pro.
Dove l’hai comprato? Non si trova nuovo
Hi, I’m going to upgrade from 11 pro to 13 pro next week, is it worth it?
Both great phones.
@@nuruliman1143 Worth is so subjective. It really depends on how you use your phone. If all you do is text, call and send emails I doubt you'll notice a difference in day to day use over the 11 Pro. If your phone is your main device for consuming media and everything else than you may notice a difference in operating speed. The 13 Pro is noticeably faster when processing things. I'd say if you don't have a computer or tab and your phone is your only device it is worth it. If not it's a flip of a coin. Really depends on how you use your phone.
I did the exact same thing. Upgraded from 11 pro to 13 pro max because of a great refurbished deal. I actually prefer the design of 13 pm over 11p. Looks more luxurious and reminds me of the golden era of the iPhone (4s to 5s)
iPhone 13 Pro Max was my first pro max phone and I loved it a lot
It’s my first pro max phone too and it’s cool but mine has touchscreen issues
I upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro from an iPhone XS Max three months ago. It is a bit smaller, but I don't need that much screen anyways. in every other way this phone is just amazing. I bought it off a friend that bought the 15 Pro and paid 450 Euro. I am super happy with this phone and will keep it for the next few years.
Watching on an iPhone 13 Pro on the St.Johns ❤
Moved last week from a 13 Mini Blue to a 13 Pro Max Alpine Green, loving the larger battery and Pro Motion display, but I still miss the Mini size and weight
Upgraded to the 13 Pro Max from the XS Max I used from 2019 until 2022. This was such a great upgrade that I haven’t felt the need to get the 14 or 15 yet. I’ve upgraded all my other Apple gear to 2023 models except my 13 Pro Max and I probably won’t need to upgrade into the 16 Pro comes out
What do you do for a macbook in that case? You on m1/2/3?
@@hobosnake1 M2 MBA 15
I’m still using the 13 PRO MAX, my battery health is at 97% now, been careful with my battery life since I got the phone in 2021 and with iOS updates, I charge my phone up to 94% and unplug my phone then update iOS. With my phone all I do is iPhone photography and listen to music!
I’ve been using a 13 Pro for almost two years and I still love it. I came from an iPhone SE 2020 and this phone blew my mind. It only needs a battery replacement, as it downgraded at 88%, and with that change done I can easily live with it until Apple drops support for the 13 lineup. The newest ones are cool, are more powerful and will live a couple years more, but despite that I don’t actually need to upgrade my 13 Pro; maybe if it had USB-C on it I’d finally ripped the lightning cables, but lighting is there and I have to live with it
I just bought one yesterday, iPhone's are super expensive in my country
I’ve the IPhone 13 Pro,best phone I’ve ever had,bought it two years ago now and currently on 85% battery health,when I first got it the phone would last like two days,but now it lasts the entire day and maybe January I’ll get a new battery and then there’s no reason to upgrade anytime soon
i am planning on getting the iphone 13 pro (used) as my first apple product in nextmonth
The 13 pro is one of the best phones i've ever owned! Wich is why i'm returning to it after a couple of months trying and failing at finding anything i like better.. even newer phones. The 13 series is peak Apple imo i know a lot of people love the 14 and 15 but everything about the 13pro when i got it just felt so polished and in two years of using it i never felt like it was an older phone or was no longer good enough.
I’m planning to buy the 13 normal
I use the gold color ❤❤❤
Did I spot a picture from St. John’s Newfoundland, I spotted the courthouses, St. John’s is my hometown
Yes !!! The battery life beast for sure. I’m still rocking my 13 and it’s perfectly fine :)
I miss my 11 pro max and that slim design
@mark Spurrel, do you know that the main camera of iPhone 13 Pro is not taking pictures when you think that it is taking? iPhone 13 pro main does not activate when you click on 1x on native app, instead telephoto lens take image (at least in my phone and my 3 other friends). That's why you see decrease in sharpness.
Its still a class phone very fast
My iPhone XS died about 8 months before the iPhone 14 came out, so, I ended up getting an iPhone 13 Pro. If you can't quite afford the latest and greatest, the 13 Pro isn't going to be a disappointment. Not having USB-C isn't a deal breaker for me, either. In fact, I'd rather have the iPhone 13/14 to keep Lightning for another few years. Having experienced too many loose USB-C connections, I'm not rushing to have that connector on a device I need to charge reliably.
Honestly, I feel like the iPhone 13 Pro is the sweet spot for me. I don't really need an always on display, since I never use it. And the Dynamic Island, to me, seems too intrusive during a full screen video compared to the notch, which at least blends into the edge of the screen. Not to mention the phone is already plenty fast for everything I can throw at it. Cameras work great and all in all, I'm quite content with it. Managed to get the 256GB version in near-mint condition for just over $600 on eBay. I see no reason to upgrade anytime soon.
Peak iPhone
I dont get why it matters how many points the phone gets. The only thing that matters is value and if the phone is overall good enough for you.
iPhone 13 at $599 is a great deal even now.
thats why i’m keeping my 13 pro max till the 17 pro max comes out
Watching on my 13 pro max
Mine's showing 86% as well. Wondering when i should replace the battery. I'll only upgrade when theres a "significant" change..
Is the 13 pro really a good phone is the 120 hz refresh noticeable bc I’m decisive between the 13 pro or 14 plus I need help deciding
Sierra blue might be the best color
I was thinking of buying an iPhone since I like Apple watch and currently have it set up as a family device without an iPhone. I think I will go with 13 Pro as I won't be switching to Apple ecosystem fully in any case
I had a 13pm it was great I loved the macro mode and unfortunately I had a 128 gb I couldn’t take advantage of pro res even when my health was on 89% battery life was fantastic!!! I currently have a reg 13 as a second phone I got a few months ago the 13 series is legendary
Watching this review on my sierra blue 128gb iPhone 13 Pro 😊 Been holding up pretty nicely so far, although battery is not great anymore. Camera and video quality is still top notch tho! Great video Mark! Take care
How many hours can the battery hold ( heavy usage )?
@@lilstrawberry7986I'd say 5 hours (battery max capacity at 82% at the moment after 2 years and a few months).
I just bought one yesterday, iPhone's are super expensive in my country
I have the iPhone 11 and I loved it but I broke it so now I’m thinking about buying the thirteen!
i would still pick the 13 pro over the s21 ultra even with the price difference
as a 15 year old kid who grew up with androids and Motorola's because my parents vsnt afford huge phone payments. I just got a job and this is gonna be my phone in a few months. this was the most informative thing ive found so far!!
same
Enjoy bro ❤️
That battery test you did has to be flawed lol
Do one video for 13 mini as well. Please.
13 pro max in my country has alot of glitches display after update software to the lastest version😢
I upgraded from a 13 pro to a 15 pro. It’s still a very good phone with the exception of the notch. It has 120hz, good battery life, stainless steel and still looks modern. The only reason I got the 15 pro was for the usb c. I would still have the 13 pro if it wasn’t for that.
Compare watching this video with 13 pro and 15 pro and you will see the consequences of the Dynamic Island
The island is literally more of an inconvenience than the notch... it cuts down further into the screen than the notch -_-
You wasted money lol
@@mootsym how is it an invconvinience?
How is the cell service? Any better. 13 pro cell service is trash.
Good and interesting as always. Being Canadian I had to check prices here. On Amazon Canada depending on the condition and amount of storage prices range from $799 to $1195. On a major Canadian reseller using the same parameters the prices rage from $1095 to $1425. This is not an inexpensive refurbished (used) phone. I have never owned an iPhone and doubt I ever will and price new or used is a major part of that decision. BTW just got a 2 year old S21 for a lot less and I am liking it lots.
Could you do a tech rewind for the Vivo X70 Pro+ ?
I’ve 13 pro max love the phone but hate the colour 😂 thankfully I’ve a case on it
Have a 15 pro max now, but I loved my 13 Pro. Not a great deal of difference tbh. Definitely worth it in my opinion.
I bought it brand new cuz I got mugged and lost my iPhone 6S. It cost us about $1250 just for the 256GB model (better than the 64Gb I had before). But I’m tired of the blue color I have, I want a black one or green one. I dunno why I dislike the sierra blue color but I like green or Black better after 2 years with this phone.
I'm currently watching this on an iPhone 13 Pro 256 😬.
I have the same battery condition lol 😂
Watching this on my iPhone 13 Pro with 87% battery health.
I had iPhone 11 Pro Max which felt was better upgrade to the x series. So for me 12 didn’t seem like a worthy upgrade. Then I upgraded to 13 pm when 14 series came and I have to say I’m very happy.
What do u recommend between ip13pro and ip13 for gaming and daily life usages.
For me it’s like, well i can get the iPhone 13 Pro 256gb for around $530 on Amazon, or I can get the 14 Pro 256gb for about $730. 13 Pro definitely seems like the better value.
I just bought one yesterday, iPhone's are super expensive in my country
Hey man! what happened to the set? always liked the studio u worked on
Is iPhone 13 pro has any display issue on 24 ? Caz i saw many display issues on 13 pro & mex series
A fraction of the price usually doesn’t mean $300 less, but carry on
Should i buy used 13 pro or new 13 im confused
Any help for those wallpapers.. I couldn’t find them anywhere
Is it worth to upgrade from IPhone 11 to IPhone 13 Pro? That change will cost about 450 $. Besides of making phone calls and scrolling the internet I mostly use phone for taking short movies and pictures with no zoom or very rarely 2.0x zoom, so will the difference in video quality be noticeable?
A HUGE reason that the 13 pro beats the 14 and 15 Pro : It has a physical SIM card slot!!! This is why I went back to it, so that I can easily switch between it and my Pixel 8.
Can u do iPhone 14 Pro 1 year later?
Not me watching this after just buying one 👀👀
Can you do the 13 mini?
How about the ios updates? I have read somewhere that the new ios slows the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max and drains the battery faster than normal. Plus the White/Green Screen issue, what can you say about those things? I really want to know because I am deciding whether to go for the iPhone 13 Pro Max or iPhone 15 Pro Max.
I‘m using iPhone 13 Pro Max with the latest iOS updates and I don‘t see any problems with battery drain and overall performance at all. Also never had any display issues. I also don‘t know anybody who had, so I‘m starting to think that those reports have to be vastly exaggerated.
@@Perebynisthere are so many 13 pro max user in my country has this issue the the display .
M using the 13pm for 17months its still rocking at 94% with heavy gaming, and if you’re worried about the green tint issue its not worth worrying the issue is isolate and its happening to older iphones too
Can you do a pixel 7 can you look on the pixel 7
13 pro refurbished for 650 bucks as first iphone ever worth it? What of the battery is about 80-90%?
bro in your opinion which phone would you rate the highest based on your score
I’m getting one for Christmas in graphite 256gb
I have one in green but I want another one in sierra blue because mine has touchscreen issues
Watching on my 13 Pro in silver. Processing monster until now! Only downside is the LCD’s Green Screen of Death issue for some units after iOS 17 update. Had mine replaced and wiped all my data and files 🥲
Do the pixel 6a next
If it gets 8 on the software support what will get a 10 ?
