Other Which iPhone 13 model do you think will sell the best?

That’s almost a no brainer. It’s always the max.
Pro max will sell out the fastest, the 13 non pro will sell the most out of all the models in the long run.
The regular model is what most people get. Especially with mobile provider contracts.
They just want an "iPhone" - they are not geeks and enthusiasts.
Not many people are willing to pay extra for the Pro models.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the 13 Mini will outsell all the other 13 models put together. Tim Cook told me himself, so it will happen. 😜
It's always the plain vanilla (non mini, non pro) iPhone that sells the most
Once you go Max you'll never go back.
I've gotten so used to the larger screen iPhones I don't think I could own the smaller sizes. I have occasionally tried going back to a standard iPhone. Much easier to use one-handed, easier to carry. But I quickly miss the extra screen area and that longing overrides other considerations. Additionally, the Max versions have the biggest and longest lasting batteries.

The plain 13, because its cheaper and has a new camera arrangement, then followed by the 13 Pro max.
13 > 13 Pro Max > 13 Pro > 13 mini in terms of sale I would say.
Usually 1st/2nd month enthusiast models sell fast (pro models and/or max storage tier models) then vanilla model will drive the biggest part of sale

It's always the regular 13 - most people don't want to spend $1100 for a Max.
Wouldn't the pro models be more attractive will all the extra features (camera upgrades, ProMotion display etc...)? or maybe the vast majority of people will just go for the cheaper models
Agree the pro model features are more attractive, but most consumers aren’t enthusiasts as such. So the marginal feature improvements over the previous gen models is sufficient, and even then many consumers don’t even know what those are. It’s merely the ‘newer’ one or newer than theirs, and that’s good enough. (Edit wording)
this is an interesting POLL, the data is the opposite of the sales trend. I do think may will go from the MAX to the regular Pro this year...
I wish it was the Mini, because then everybody their mother would rush to make smaller phones again. Unfortunately, not even Prosser predicts that this will happen

If all the 4 models are released at the same time in September, it will be interesting to see the sales figures. With the 12 series the 6.1" were released first, and then the Mini and Pro Max month later. As we all know the 12 Mini has not sold well, and the delayed release didn't help matters, although the 12 Pro Max did sell very well even with the delayed release. I reckon the 13 Mini will be slightly more successful this time round, but not by much, although I hope I'm wrong.
Because they are quite a bit cheaper, have most of the necessary best features the Pro’s have, and appeal to a larger consumer audience. I don’t personally know many people who spend £1k+ on a phone despite these people being financially capable. It’s just more niche and always has been.
