iPhone 13 Pro I love my new Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro!

[lybentius]

Just got my Sierra Blue Pro max 256GB, wanna try the cinematic mode and ProRes. I love the phone, waiting for it to come used MS Surface duo, one month with that Android phone was very inefficient for me. I am very impressed with Apple backup system, as soon as I entered Apple ID, the phone restored itself to my previous iPhone up to last call on that iPhone and a wallpaper I used on that phone, just great, everything went seamlessly and fast. One month with Android seems like a past nightmare, really

Set-up was so easy! It just took a while, but that’s cause I pretty much maxed out my 128GB ?

Congratulations and thank you for a great post.

I agree with you 100% It is such a beautiful iPhone Enjoy.

Thank you ?

The stainless steel sides can scratch easily.

Upon delivery, I immediately put on a transparent case on iPhone and also had it applied a protection cover on display. THe case is not heavy but protects screen well, and the beautiful Sierra color is shining through it

I must have old eyes, because I can't imagine reading that much on my phone haha. Seriously, thanks for sharing your experience and the pics. This is the model/color I'm considering, so your insights are appreciated!

haha, I do a lot of research and article reading but never get around to reading a lot of them

Cool. But you already covered it with a case. What’s does the color or the shiny stainless sides matter anymore. You won’t enjoy it again.

I can always take the case off . Been using it without the case so I can appreciate the design.

@acblue94, I totally understand your point, I thought I would rock my 13 Pro Max 1 TB naked to show off the amazing blue and I did just that for a while. It's a highly personal choice, but I just bought the Golden Brown leather case and Golden Brown wallet on impulse during a Black Friday sale and the combo is growing on me.

-I think the almost orange color of the Golden Brown is a perfect fit for the Sierra Blue which you can still see on the camera bump. It's an amazing contrast. Orange and Blue are common sports team colors like Syracuse for a reason, they just go really well together. I even put a credit card with a dark blue color to it as the one that you see sticking out of the wallet, so it goes blue, orange and then a tiny bit of blue again.

-The orange case just really makes it pop and I've caught people glancing over when I take my phone out because it looks different than the typical black or graphite you usually see. I understand some people don't want attention though.

-The leather case makes it grippier and easier to hold, and then having the wallet on it gives you something else that sort of nestles into your hand and makes it feel nicer to hold one-handed.

-The leather case has these really clicky side buttons that feel great and I think are nicer and easier to find than the naked buttons or even the ones on the silicone case.

-The stainless sides don't get fingerprints anymore like it would if it was naked.

But again, highly personal choice, you can't go wrong, really. 13 Pro or Pro Max is such a good phone regardless of what it looks like.

Good points. I think a contrasting case would look great. Maybe I’ll get one in a couple of months to spice things up

These two points do really well to illustrate why I always end up in an Apple leather case. I was lying on the couch watching a movie to wind down last night and found myself just clicking the buttons on my phone even though it was locked and face down on my stomach. They're just so satisfying.

Regarding the wallet, my usage has evolved to only having it attached when I know I'll need it otherwise it remains in a hidden cubby in my car but when I am carrying it, it just feels so much more secure when it's stuck on the leather case vs. anything else I've tried.

Oh yeah, and beautiful phone you got there OP.

Thank you! Everyone seems to have good things to say about the leather cases. Must be worth checking out. I’ll hold off for now. Already spent wayy too much. Lol

I originally upgraded to the 13 from the se2. Was an amazing upgrade, but something was lacking. I ended up giving it to my mother and turning her into an iPhone lover. And purchased the 13PM. I do not regret it at all. I got the same color as you. I’m still super stoked just as you are. This thing is a beast. I can get almost 24 hours worth of battery. I’m a very heavy user. Pubg mobile, sims, Apple Music and YouTube and more. Apple really made a good device this year in my opinion. Congrats to you on your new 13 pro. It’s a beauty!

Thank you! Happy you’re loving yours too. Guess you just needed that extra screen real estate! The PM is too big for my hands lol

 

[lybentius]

Congrats! That’s a massive upgrade. So much changed from the 7 to 13 Pro it’s hard to list them all. I really love the cameras. I take way more photos than I ever have previously. Also agree on the ProMotion display…not a necessity but an absolute necessity lol. I think the 13 Pro will go down as one of the truly great and memorable iPhones. It feels so polished.

Polished is a great word to describe it. It’s almost like a piece of jewellery.

Nice! Yep first thing I did was put on a glass screen protector.
