iPhone 13 Pro Max Anybody Still Rocking an iPhone 13PM?

[bondr006]

Love my 13PM. It's a darn nice phone. I use it all day, and I usually have at least 60% or more battery left when I go to bed. I am up at 5am or earlier and usually in bed by 9 or 10 pm. I charge my phone overnight, as I use it for a nightstand alarm clock and white noise. During the day, I listen to a lot of music with YTM and my APP's 2, I check emails, watch some YT videos, take and edit photos (takes great pics) and videos, pay bills and make purchases, send and receive texts, web surf and search stuff on Safari or Chrome, read news, and all the other normal things we do with our phones, like make and receive phone calls. I bought my 13PM July 2022 new at the Apple store. It still has its original battery, and is at 88% battery health, so I'll probably just replace the battery sometime later this year and keep it a couple more years. I also have had a case and screen protector on it from the beginning, so it still looks brand new. Best phone I've ever had.

Me as well. My phone can go two days no charge sometimes. It's a bit heavy, but otherwise, it works like the day I bought it.

My mum is rocking my old 13 Pro Max since 2 years now. Battery 86% and the phone is 4 years old. Looks like new and she is happy 😎

I kinda wish I still had my 13 Pro honestly, was such a great phone. Gonna keep my 15 Pro Max for another while and get the smaller size when I eventually upgrade again.

 

[eyoungren]

Nope, sorry. I'm still on the 11 Pro Max as my primary phone.

Maybe there's some confusion here?

You answered a question I didn't ask...i.e., have you upgraded to an iPhone 13PM yet...when my question was, "Anybody Still Rocking an iPhone 13PM?"...key words being, "still rocking."

No, I understood the question. I was trying to be humorously sarcastic. It did didn't work I guess.

Fixed my post, LOL.

I was being a wise guy, and I apologize for not making my attempt at humor more clear. We’ve had our misunderstandings in the past but I do really appreciate you, and most everything you post.😉

No worries! We're good. That's why I went back and struck out the 'didn't part.

I use a base model iPhone 12, with 81% battery health. It lasts the entire day with light use. I use a fast charging 18W powerbank( 2750mah ) from Meko for emergencies

 

[Tyler O'Bannon]

No. It’s old.

 

[lanomds1]

I do! My phone still feels like brand new. It’s fast, responsive and does everything I need. The only thing that is pushing me to replace it is the battery — I bought it day one and now my battery health is at 78% so it doesn’t last much. But apart from that is a great phone, I’ll probably just have the battery replaced and keep it for as long as I can as it just close to a perfect phone.

 

[elmoss]

Nah was a brick

 

[eyoungren]

No. It’s old.

The 16 series will be old by late September. Last year's model. Fact.

 

[rungxanh2901]

I sold my 15 to get a 13 Pro Max and haven't looked back.

Except the heavy weight, everything about this beast is just perfect

 

[Yrmmont]

Yep!

If I could get the internals of my 16 Plus in the midnight green 11pm 👌
Teal certainly ties with midnight green for my favorite iPhone color, followed by rose gold

Absolutely still on my 13PM. Got it shortly after release, battery is now 85%, used 397GB of 1TB (which proves that I personally only need 512GB in future), the Sierra Blue is my favourite ever iPhone colour, it's got zero issues, the camera has probably improved on later models (?? - it's mainly software, isn't it) but take a RAW image and have a play around in Lightroom or whatever and they're pro prints. I see absolutely no reason to upgrade - ZERO. It's interesting that in this thread there seems to be a few people who wish they still had the 13PM. Seems like it's the sweet spot.

I have the 12 Pro Max, one version below the 13. It still works fine, and I got it long before 2022! I seriously doubt I'll be replacing it, until after it stops being able to run the latest iOS, and after whatever iOS it's stuck up stops me from using some apps I want to use.

The safety features of the newer iPhones do tempt me, but I don't know if they're what they're cracked up to be. Even if they are: So long as the new Apple watches have them as well, I could go that route.

As for battery: Tim Hardwick has a guide on how to have battery-saving mode turn on automatically. It would also be good to carry a portable battery bank (as long as you get one which won't catch on fire), but I haven't yet found one which suits my needs.

 

[Ta_whirimatea]

Yes

Congrats on resisting the temptation to upgrade. I have lost the days i wanted to update my 12 pro max. I am not doing so well this year might update to a 17 pro max .

Yes indeed! The camera on my 13PM gives me some of the best shots ever...night or day.😉

Just a small sample of the 1,000's of photos like these my 13PM has given me over the past few years.

Still rocking mine 🙌🏼 84% battery health here, and have noticed the decline over time. I picked up the max specifically so I would not have battery anxiety, and I haven’t.
Honestly have no desire to upgrade at present, besides for USB-C. I’ll likely update when iPhones move to 12GB RAM, now Apple intelligence needs so much.
