iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 13 Pro/iPhone 13 Pro Max owners, are you upgrading?

[Marswarrior462]

I wanna see where you all stand. Personally, I’m happy with my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I personally will not be upgrading this year because I don’t think going from a 13 Pro Max to a 14 Pro Max is worth a $2000+ upgrade, they still have the crappy Lightning port, no 8K, 48MP is limited to the Wide Camera, no periscope lens, and my current phone still takes great photos and still has an incredible display. Are any of you upgrading from your 13 Pro to the 14 Pro or not?

Some people are, some people aren't.

I didn't plan on upgrading my 13PM but the trade in deal I got was $1000 for my 13PM (Apple is giving me $705 off of a 14 for the trade and my carrier gives me an additional $295 in credits) so I pick up my 14PM tomorrow.

 

[flipjlo]

I was. I always do. Hell I’m a iSheep. But not this year. The 13 pro max is a beast still. For sure they’ll USB -c next year a new camera and redesign. Other reason is just Im buying a car. Maybe thats why lol. I’ll join the Island exactly one year from now.

I’m happy for you. I still think that even spending $1000 to make an incremental upgrade is not worth it for me

Nope! No upgrade for me this year, might do my watch but that‘ll be later

I’m upgrading from a Series 6 Blue 44mm GPS only to an Apple Watch Ultra, and I’m getting it on the 23rd

I went from a 13 Pro Max to 14 Pro for the size. I always want the camera upgrades, no matter how minor they may be. I also wanted access to the Satellite SOS feature - I'm in Search and Rescue and really appreciate the value in this. Plus, I can cancel my Garmin InReach subscription...

13 ProMax/1 TB. Staying with it for another year.

You’ll probably notice a downgrade in battery life and screen real estate

Same except I have a 512GB, Sierra Blue

Totally - I think I'm fine with the battery loss (and I carry a USB battery hiking/backpacking). I could honestly go 2 days most of the time with the 13 Pro Max - it's amazing. I obsessed over the screen and remembered how I was fine with the iPhone X before I went to the big phones. We'll see... I can always go big again with the 15 if it bugs me

For me, the battery life just isn‘t good enough anymore, especially since iOS 16 ruined my battery life. I just hope Apple fixes the severe battery drain soon in beta 2 of 16.1, but it’ll probably take till 16.1.1

 

[MTShipp]

Yes, I am going 13 Max to 14 Max along with the 45mm 7 to the Ultra. I decided to because of the always on, the island, the satellite, and crash detection.

 

[BabyFu18]

I upgraded from my 13 pro max to the 14 pro max, I‘m in the apple upgrade program so I can upgrade every year if I want so that’s what I did..

 

[bricktop_at]

Patiently waiting for my 14PM 512GB from Amazon….😉
The current 13PM (also 512 gigs) goes to my girlfriend to replace her 11PM

 

[wabisabizo]

Nope, I'll be keeping my iPhone 13 Pro till it dies on me

 

[iObama]

Nah, trying to break my yearly upgrade habit. I kept my 11PM for two years, gonna see if I can keep this one for three. The upgrades are just so incremental now.

As much as I really want to upgrade my watch (I need that keyboard!!), I'm going to wait until next year to see what the Series 9 brings and just have Apple swap the battery on this one.

 

[Pede]

Oh hell no. I’m keeping my Pro Max 13 as well as Apple Watch series 7. Only planning on upgrading my AirPods Pro to the second gen.

 

[Hotpinkflamingoaz]

I haven’t decided yet. I have one on preorder that comes in Sept. 29 so I have time to see one in person and read all the reviews after people have been using them. My out of pocket cost after trade in is $323 so I’m not worried about that.

 

[Truefan31]

I’m happy with the 13 pro max but I’m getting 1000 to trade in my old 11 pro max so I’m getting the 14 pm. Will pass my 13 pro max along to family.

 

[Black Magic]

I'm upgrading mostly because I want too. Apple wants to give me $600 trade-in but I'm still shopping it around. Ultimately the upgrade will cost me $400 unless I can get a better offer.

 

[ThisIs🐵]

I was hoping for 14 Pro to have titanium frame.
But it's still heavy stainless steel, so I will keep my 13 Pro.

Interesting. It almost feels weird to say but i’ve noticed slightly better battery life on both my 13 Pro and watch S5 with the new updates. I wonder what’s going on

Oh and no, i’m not upgrading this year. I’m not too convinced by the pill design right now and I prefer the notch mostly because I often watch youtube videos on my phone, and the pill will cut into the border of 18:9 videos. Also I think next year is usb c year and they’ll probably be advertising all of the improvements as a major selling point, which is another reason i’m waiting.

I ordered 14P in purple even though I 💜 my Sierra Blue 13P. It arrived today and I'm almost certainly sending it back. Right now it's setting up but I'm super disappointed in the dark purple color. Probably appeals to men but it's too dark for me - almost black in low light and eggplant in sun/bright light. I'm going to play with DI and test out (definitely brighter) display in direct sun tomorrow as those were two reasons I pre-ordered. These two things would have to be *super compelling* for me to keep it. I was expecting a purple phone, even after launch photos, not a charcoal/eggplant shade. Sierra Blue has been beautiful color iMO. And I have a ton of cases that show it off. Anyway, just a personal preference; I generally like light to medium toned phones. And yes, mine goes in a case but even the camera bump looks black. #notme

Very disappointed. If battery is worse, that will make decision to return even easier. Oh well, I will help save the planet, at least for this year...😅

On a positive note: screen doesnt seem much warmer to me, just much brighter at same setting.
