iPhone 13 Pro Max Glad I Chose to Upgrade to the 13PM Instead of the 14PM

[Tsepz]

Absolutely loving my Graphite 13 Pro Max, I got it in late August 2022, it’s been bulletproof for me.
The battery life is absolutely epic even on iOS 16.3, Cameras are fantastic (I love how fast Apple ensure the camera experience is) and the overall software experience has been rock solid (unless I am on Beta, lol), that being said there will be the odd bug here and there.

I hope the iPhone 15 with 3nm A17 brings a nice big jump in performance and battery life to make it a worthwhile upgrade from 13PM.

I don’t have a dog in the fight as I’m stuck on the regular 11 due to sensitivity to PWM. But that said, people complain every year. The 13 series had this forum upside down with complaints and the 12 before they. Heck, this thread alone is approaching 1700 comments.

It is just difficult to cater for all tastes

The 14 PM was a no go (for me) once I saw no physical sim option ( US )!

I'm sure the 15 PM or Ultra will also be only e-sim ( sigh 😔) so I'll be keeping the 13PM for a while! Seems like the e-sim only train in inevitable now.. Will try and hold out as long as I possibly can and hope the teething issues are ironed out!

Going from 12PM to the 13PM was a significant upgrade for me in terms of battery, and RF!

I've been searching for threads with common complaints about the 13 series.
Other than camera issues, can you point me in the direction of other threads outlining other problems?
I asked Siamese_Dream, but have seen nothing.
Thanks!

Afraid not I can help. Actually I am good with my 13Pro, everyone has different demands, you can't expect them all to agree with you.

I'm GREAT with my 13 Pro.
I'm just interested in seeing what all the complaints were that I've been hearing about that (fortunately) I was unaware of before I bought mine.
After 14 months, I'm still delighted with it.
I don't expect anyone to agree with me.
I'm too old to let that matter anymore!

Green tint and crushed black levels and blooming of whites on a black background. General uneven oled panels on the pro series. There’s a mega thread about these on this forum.

I had the green tint issue on my 12 pro max, especially if I was watching a movie with the brightness down. Never an issue on my 13 PM or 14 PM
