what's going on you guys so it's been about a month roughly now since the release of the
iphone 13 models about a month ago i unboxed two of the iphone models the iphone 13 regular model
and the iphone 13 pro max model so i unboxed a 128 gigabyte version of the pro max model
which was in gold but i've got with me right here a graphite 256 gigabyte version which i went and
replaced the gold 120 gigabyte version with the reason why i did that was so i could exploit the
prores video function that's coming to the iphone 13 pros so it's supposed to come with ios 15.1
if you're an apple beta tester and you probably already tried out prores video because i've seen
some people already try it out i've seen how it looks my honest opinion is i don't know how
functional it's going to be for a lot of people i i think it's going to work great for certain kinds
of people certain kinds of professionals that use the iphone for you know professional work and and
the likes but for the regular or the casual user i don't really see the point of prores video i don't
see them actually using that feature often in this video i'm going to be giving my one month review
of this phone i use my phone a lot for most of my daily activities ranging from my workout sessions
you know all the way to my actual work sessions when i do you know a lot of editing videos
a lot of photo editing you know uploading to social media all those different kinds of things
require me to have a phone like this so when i record at the gym i thought i was going to be
using the cinematic mode a lot more you know when i first tried it out when it first came out it was
all it was a lot of hype it was all that but for me using the regular video camera on the phone
is enough and i don't know about you guys unless you're willing to use up the entire storage space
on your phone then you might not want to even use prores like i said unless you're a professional
then you probably do not need this feature right here now don't get me wrong i'm not saying that
it's a bad feature to have on the iphone 13 in fact i'm hoping that it gets better next year so
it explains why there's multiple versions of storage options so that's why it goes up all
the way up to one terabyte of storage for the pro models because if you decide to use prores
video format then one minute is going to take up six gigabytes of your storage data so i've
got 256 gigabyte on this graphite edition right here but the thing is i don't even have access
to all of that storage some of that storage is already taken over by system software as well as
apps you know all the different things that you need for the phone to actually operate right now
after using the phone for about a month i have about 200 gigabytes of storage you know just
sitting there and i've used up about 50 gigabytes but i'm the kind of person that wouldn't store a
lot of stuff on a phone so if you tend to store a lot of photos a lot of videos a lot of different
files and all that different stuff on your phone's storage then you might want to opt for a larger
storage configuration of the iphone 13 pro or pro max one of the biggest things i've loved
about it over the last month is the large screen so i had the iphone 10s max before this phone if
you know me then you know i'm a huge fan of large screens i'm talking mobiles laptops whatever it is
i love large screens tvs doesn't matter what it is the larger the better for me that's just the way i
roll but basically this has been a huge upgrade from the iphone xs max with its 6.5 inch screen
another feature of the display that i've enjoyed over this one month period is the adaptive refresh
rate so pro motion that was just released with the new pro max models or the pro models this year so
the iphone models from this year are the only ones with adaptive refresh rates so between 10 to 120
hertz is what your phone can go between your phone screen so it adapts on the fly depending
on what you need it for if you're playing a high performance game that requires a high refresh rate
on your iphone 13 pro max then be rest assured that it's going to automatically adapt on the
fly it's going to go up to 120 hertz or whatever is needed at that point in time and it'll go down
whenever you're not using the screen as much so it'll save battery power and that brings me to
my favorite feature that i've enjoyed over this one month period the battery life like i said
earlier i upgraded from the iphone 10s max and i'm not saying it's a bad phone by any means at all
but let me be honest with you guys when it comes to the battery life this kills it it blows it
right out the water the battery health on that phone is 90 but i didn't expect it to you know
not last for more than four hours of use five hours to use it's not the best battery life is
what i'm saying especially if you use your phone heavily throughout the day and i do use my phone
heavily throughout the day so for example i'll use the iphone 13 pro max to listen to music during my
gym sessions off of spotify and that's at least a one hour session that's the minimum right there
and i'm listening to music throughout the entire session i'm also surfing the web throughout that
session you know doing a bunch of different things that i didn't or couldn't get to doing throughout
the day another thing that i use the iphone for throughout the day is my work so i'm always
sending files using airdrop between my you know phone and my laptop which is also a mac where i do
most of my editing and just a side note here i'm going to be doing an unboxing of the new macbook
pros that were just released in the last apple event unleashed i don't know if you guys saw that
event but if you did or didn't see it and are excited to see how these new macbooks operate
then make sure to stay tuned make sure to hit that subscribe button at the bottom of the screen right
now and stay tuned so next week we'll be having fun with that content some other things that i
use my iphone 13 pro max for include watching 4k videos taking business calls reading my emails you
know typing up text documents calling you know talking to family as well as a lot of things
that are highly demanding of the battery although the battery life has made the iphone a little bit
heavier but to be honest i don't notice it the way i use the iphone i prefer larger phones heavier
phones i don't know for me it just feels like i have more substance to work with and it's just
how it is that's just me that's just me personally basically what i'm saying is that the addition of
the new battery which weighs a little bit more is definitely a step in the right direction the
way i charge my phone now i charge it maybe once a day and this is with heavy use most times i don't
even charge it at all throughout the entire day i charge it the following day even on days when
i use it heavier than usual it still makes it throughout the day i'm telling you guys right now
the battery life is the biggest thing for me right now the last thing i'll talk about really quickly
here is the camera system the camera system is great as well like i said i've talked about
this a little bit already at the beginning of the video but i'll just talk about a few more things
right quickly if you didn't already know 4k prores video shooting is only limited to the 256 gigabyte
iteration the 512 and one terabyte configurations of the iphone 13 pros so the pro max that i've got
right here is the first entry level to being able to use 4k prores so if you have the 128 gigabyte
version then you're only going to be able to shoot 1080p prores video that's not a big deal at all at
least in my opinion prores video is still very new the majority of people do not have access to this
feature yet because it requires that you have ios 15.1 installed and while it's not out yet
not fully not for everybody it's only alpha beta testers but once it's out maybe we'll see more
how best you know to use prores video and how more people apply it so we'll see we'll see i'm going
to be using it a lot more i'm going to test it out i'm going to see if it's actually worth it to get
one of these higher storage iterations just to get access to 4k version of pro res because if you're
content shooting pro res videos at 1080p then what you get is less storage being consumed so 1080p
consumes only about a quarter of what 4k prores videos can consume when it comes to storage and
you can also go for the 128 gigabyte adoration if you don't really care too much about the 4k prores
video shooting if you don't know what prores video format is then what you need to know about it
is that it gives you better editing options so the files are not compressed and that's why the files
are larger they're not compressed and reduced to a size that you can't edit so it's great for people
that you know do a lot of edit work you know do a lot of post production post video editing
all that different stuff right there you have more control over your editing you know color
fidelity is maintained and it's not compressed so if you edit videos a lot you'll understand all
that mumbo jumbo but if you don't edit videos you don't really care about all that so the 4k camera
on the phones themselves are just good enough i've been taking a lot of photos with the camera using
portrait mode all kinds of modes i'm in love with the camera system on this phone and honestly i
can't wait to see what the google pixel 6 pro is going to look like so that was just released last
week and it's shipping out next week so i hope when i get my hands on it i can probably compare
the camera system to the iphone 13 i've got right here but that's by the way it's great but it was
also great on the iphone 12 pro max and the 11 pro max the 10s max which i had prior to this 13 pro
max also had a pretty good camera so the camera system in my opinion is not you know that crazy
yes there's new camera modes there's new added features that you can use with it and all that
but it's not worth the upgrade if you have a 12 pro max or you have an 11 pro max i wouldn't say
go crazy and upgrade your phone just based on that camera unless you want to then you know you can
go ahead and do that man if you have the money do it but these things are not cheap i'll tell
you that right now finally for a15 bionic which is the chip inside of this phone which powers
everything you know that this phone runs the speed the processing power all different kinds of things
so the a15 bionic chip i've noticed immensely i've noticed how much faster my phone responds because
coming off of the iphone 10s max i'll tell you right now you'll notice a difference immediately
immediately i don't know about the 12 pro max to the 13 pro max but i can confirm that from the
10s to the 13 pro max it's crazy the speed is fast it's a lot faster things are very responsive apps
load up quicker everything is just smoother and i know it's also because it's a newer phone next
to it is going to be another iphone and it just keeps going on and on and on and on and on so we
all know how this goes but if you want to upgrade your phone every year that's your decision and if
you want to upgrade your phone every three years that's also your decision all right to sum it all
up this is a high performance professional phone that honestly i've fallen in love with so far it's
been a month that i've used it for only the price for the iphone 13 pro is 13.99 that's the starting
price for the 128 gigabyte version i'm talking canadian dollars by the way but for this the
iphone 13 pro max 120 gigabyte version is going for 15.49 canadian dollars that's the starting
price like i said 128 gigabytes the 256 which i've got right here cost about 17.73 after taxes
so it's quite pricey like i said these phones are not cheap so unless you're going to be using it
for a lot of professional work or gonna be doing all kinds of crazy things with it and i think it
might suffice to go for the regular iphone 13 or the 13 mini if you're looking for something more
on the budget end as for me to sum it all up there's three major features that i've enjoyed
on this phone throughout the one month time i've had it so the first feature is in the display the
second one is in the battery life and the final one is in the camera so right now the battery
life is number one it's my main feature it's the one that i can always count on and the one that
i'm really most impressed about so far but we're gonna have to see down the line how the camera
works because like i said there's no pro res video yet so when that becomes more widespread maybe
the camera will become more of a better feature for me to use and for the pro motion display i
love the adaptive refresh rate technology but i can't really see how well it works when there's
not a lot of apps that support it yet so a lot of third-party apps do not currently support
adaptive refresh rates so i can't really put that to the test most importantly i can't wait
to test out some high refresh rate gameplay on the iphone's new display but until then those
are kind of half baked so i can't really test out the display all the way and i can't test out the
camera all the way but the battery life though on the other hand after a month i love it i love it
guys so if you're looking for something with a way better battery life than what you currently
have then you should probably consider you know going for something like this and it's not just
this particular iphone 13 pro max that received a battery upgrade so every single iphone 13
across the board received an upgrade from the previous 12 model so the battery is supposed to
be one of the biggest upgrades this year so that's basically it for this one right here
let me know what you guys think about the iphone 13 pro max or the 13 pro or any of the other 13s
if you do have one or if you plan on getting one let me know what you think about the upgrades and
how it's been working for you comment down below and let's start a conversation if you enjoy the
