iPhone 13 discussions

Have to say this 13 Pro Max has actually been a decent upgrade from the 11 Pro Max, especially on the camera front, I was taking pics in night mode last night and was pretty impressed by how much more detail it takes and then a week ago I was taking portrait pics at a party and they were coming out so much sharper and detailed than they did in the 11.

I’m excited to see how the 14 Pro Max performs with the new 48MP sensor.

Some of the images I took in night mode, I’m no photographer, I just point and shoot :ROFL:

Was this a recent upgrade and why didn't you wait for the iPhone 14?
 
Maybe someone can help. Friend looking at the iPhone 13 from MTN. I assume the configuration in South Africa for iPhone 13 dual-sim is 1 eSIM + 1 physical SIM.

Is it possible to use the MTN contract, for voice, as the eSIM and then get an Afrihiost data bundle thingy as the physical SIM?
Does MTN lock their iPhones on contract?

Yes that will work. Don’t worry.
 
So it’s been over a month since I got my 13 Pro Max, have to say I’ve been a very happy chap with this beast, battery goes on forever it’s a load shedding companion of note. With me not being able to wait for 14 Pro Max I did wonder if I would regret it but I actually don’t, and it goes back to what I say to people “an iPhone is an iPhone, get the one you want and enjoy it”, and that’s exactly what’s happened. Having come from an 11 Pro Max the 13 Pro Max was a nice jump in itself, though I will say this a thousand times, the 11 Pro Max is the perfect big phone size, lol.

Getting used to the 13 Pro Max size has been great and I appreciate the bigger screen and 120hz, also very happy with the camera system and the phone overall. Honestly at this point you can get a Xs Max and have 99% of the experience it feels like :ROFL: if only the Xs Max had the biblical battery life of a Pro Max model.

I think you sold me when it come upgrade time for me. I just cannot see the crazy pricing relative to value for the 14 Series, a 13 PM makes far better sense than a ”povo spec” iPhone 14.

Indeed, the “jumps” between release this year have to be the smallest we have seen, more like a minor improvements and polishing here and there, kind like a facelift in the car industry, yet prices went up pretty significantly.

Which one are you getting this time? 13 PM? Or waiting for the 15 range?

Aiming for the 13 PM for "cheap".

I upgraded my 13PM to the 14PM, and I’m feeling the difference. Outdoor brightness, the always on display, the dynamic island and noticeably faster and more reliable Face ID. Small stuff on paper, sure, but they make such a difference to me. Especially being able to glance at my phone to see the time, notifications etc.

The price jump sucks for sure. And I got the 512GB model instead of 256GB this time, so it was extra sucky. And the old case doesn’t fit because the buttons have shifted a few mm, so I had to buy a new one. And those prices have also gone up.

Yeah, that USD to ZAR has really pushed prices up, what matters is that you are at least seeing a difference for the money you paid.

I’m shocked about the cases part, I think some 12 Pro Max cases work with 13 Pro Max? A pity it’s not the same with 13PM to 14 PM.
