Thinking back to the past year owning 12 Pro Max I guess the features I wished I had most often were:

1. Bigger battery/better battery life. Coming from 11 Pro Max the battery downgrade has been noticeable and annoying.
2. Option to focus close up with camera. So yay for macro "mode" on ultrawide.
3. Possibility to use telephoto in dark conditions without using the portrait mode to force it stay on. New nightmode should fix that while making image quality better too.
4. Better quality screen. OLED screen without true blacks and with noticeably green tint ain't great on a device costing well over a grand. Who knows if 13 will fix either of those though...

Battery and the camera improvements (sensor size, stabilisation etc). I use my iPhone as a secondary camera with my DSLR and can’t wait to see what the new iPhone can produce.

Battery. My launch day 11 Pro is down to 91% and it gets relatively heavy use. Will be nice to have a bigger battery in my 13 Pro

For me its close between Promotion and battery life however my 12 Pro Max lasts long enough for me for my needs so in this case I chose Promotion since that will be a visible difference for my day to day usage.

Battery, 120Hz/VRR display, better low-light photography, brighter display outdoors (as a person who prefers dark mode full-time), and as a bonus for me, macro photography.

What is the best new feature of the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max?

For me it's the battery, but my top 3 are...

1. Battery
2. Brighter screen outdoors
3. Better lowlight photography
Those would be my top 3 too, but will 25% really work? They always boast this, but when you are out in the sun, heat throttles the screen, so you still can't see.
