    iPhone 13 iPhone 13 Upgrade from 11

    Hello guys, I don’t know if this was posted before. I am in the fence of upgrading my iPhone 11 to a 13. I want to have the different form factor, better battery life and the oled display. I was just wondering if my reasons for the upgrade are noticeable in everyday life. Thanks in advance, Kevin
