I just got my first iPhone 13 Pro, just upgrading from my 13.

More of a vent, a bit of a question. I don't like cases on my phones for look and feel in my hand so I always go no case. I wasn't expecting such a wobble when the phone is sitting face up!

Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something you get used to?

I'm regretting it a little but other than a case I don't see a way around this. Why do Apple do this? It feels like a major design flaw to me? My previous 13 had a slight wobble but it wasn't as excessive as this...?!!

Any reassurance or do people agree?

Well, the one thing that I find a bit obtrusive about it is that even using a case - which I do - doesn't get rid of the wobbling. But most of the times when I'm not using my iPhone, it lays face down on the desk/table. And when using it, I always pick it up. I tried using it when on the table, but I just hate it (apart from the wobbling). So wouldn't do that anyway.

I think I'll easily get used to it. But I get the annoyance when not using a case, cause of the risks of damage to the cameras (despite them having sapphire covers).

You need to ask yourself how important the camera is and if it's worth the tradeoff for that raised bump required for the lenses. Myself, I would much prefer a great camera as the cost of the lens bump, and Apple thinks most people would as well, but I definitely understand how you feel.

If you don't use your phone while it's lying flat, then I would just ignore the issue. There are lens prootectors if you're concerned about the lens getting scratched, and another alternative would be a clear case, and there are some that mitigate the camera bump issue.
