Same. I'm in need of a new phone, and given that the camera is one of (if not the) most important things to me, I'm curious how the 13PM and Pixel 6 Pro will stack up against each other.

Yea, I have no doubts it will do better at night, seeing what gcam can do on a midrange Android is nuts, my handheld shots are really good, when I put it on a tripod it’s hard to tell them from an actual DSLR. I also recently tried shooting lightning pics with my iPhone 11 Pro Max and it sucked, no matter what I did it would just brighten up the sky and eliminate all traces of the lightning bolts. Whereas the Android with gcam would show the bolts bright and clear just as if you’d have used a dedicated camera.
I’m hoping they put a lot of time into further refining nightsight and Astro mode with the new sensor. Along with it working on the tele lens. If so it’s gonna be super impressive.
So many changes in one generation, doubt it. Considering upgrading from my 7+ this year. Then maybe the under display face id, touch id and their own modem design is ready for my next upgrade around iPhone 16.
If the rumors are true, then the iPhone 13s are the last and most perfected version of the current style right now. Something to think about before jumping in on new everything.
New devices every year you never know what you will get all I know is this years 13 is a awesome device great upgrade for me love the 13!
I got iphone x its struggling, hold out or get the 13 and then upgrade at 15/16?
Exactly this. Thats usually my strategy as well. This year though, I decided to join the upgrade program option. I'm hoping for a sub 165gram device then Ill upgrade.
I did hear the 13 had some counter weight measures but never made it to production in time, so they just used the colors.
Wait if you can
Most iPhone users not impressed by the iPhone 13 series, defectors eyeing Google Pixel
A survey has found that most owners of older iPhone models think the iPhone 13 is underwhelming and some are considering switching to Google and Samsung's Android phones.

Seems like you’re taking shots at the 13 series to justify you keeping your old phone 😌
Im happy with my 13pro max will worry about the 14 closer to the release date next year for now Im enjoying my new Phone 
What is this garbage?Glad I’m waiting…should be a great year next year to buy an iPhone…seems like many new upgrades finally for the $$, this year was a bust.
Hi and Goodbye iPhone 13 mini: iPhone 14 Max to replace Apple’s biggest small mistake - but why?
What went wrong with Apple's mini "baby" iPhone?
Jesus, some people can’t be happy. people for years complained about the poor battery life iPhones gave. they finally gave us fantastic battery. who’s cares if it’s heavier that’s how batteries works bigger battery more weight. I love my 13 PROMAX I have a mous infinity case and wallet on must be close to 400 grams in total. Not an issue for me.. don’t you remember when apple just wanted thinner garbage every year? And they got to the point, where you could easily snap the phone or bend it. I think they may go a slight bit thicker in 2022 and use titanium to offset the weight as it’s much lighter than stainless steel. I would take better battery life over a cheap feeling thin phone.
First time I ever heard titanium called cheap feeing thin material and our company uses it every day. Good thing the FDA feels differently as well and millions of customers in the medical field. Please share source where we can acquire it cheap as it’s very expensive…why do you think Apple uses sst lol…
I never had problem with the 12PM and never used it up in one day and never complained about it, so thank god I didn’t need to upgrade to an heavy over bloated phone for battery life!
hopefully we get some more leaks on the redesign of the 14..can’t wait

Care to post these comparison photos? This mid grade Android phone of yours have a name? I'd be curious to see your definition of "noticeably better".
We aren't comparing "cameras" we are comparing the software anyway. Using a app like Halide will allow you to capture images natively the way you prefer them.
I could be wrong but I believe it was 2.2x better low light performance. This is based on physical aperture size like any camera.
Apple sticks with 12mp because its a very good consumer camera resolution. 4k (8mp) video recording is exceeded for electronic stabilization without resolution loses. 12mp (4000x3000) resolution exceeds most consumer displays. 12mp can be edited in real time without hanging up the system or killing the battery (double the MP and you double the work required to transcode to JPG. The file storage size is reasonable (double the MP and potentially double the file size). You can still get good prints up to 12"x16". Etc etc. Its not the limiting factor to photos quality so why improve it.
Sensors are larger which physics demand the phone be thicker to obtain the focal length from the lens required. People are complaining about this but it is what it is, can't want a better sensor and want a thinner device at the same time.
If the next iPhone has some sort of ultra high megapixel its going to be used for software processing somehow 8000x6000 photos seem like a bit of overkill. Imagine the lossy compression SMS will do to that while trying to send a simple text message!
Exactly this. I will most likely skip the 14, let it 'mature' a little, before they refine it in the 15....
I generally try to keep to the 's' models if I can.....
I wasn’t calling titanium cheap. I said they will use it to offset the weight! I was calling the past iPhone cheap feeling like the 6. thin cheap nasty feeling vs the new stainless steel iPhones. and if you even bothered to read my post i said I think they will make the iPhone even thicker next year but use titanium to offset weight.
