Oh that display is gonna be a beauty isn't it? Games will be awesome on this.
Maybe too big?
Well… Which one then? With the iPhone 13 now launched,
it’s time for Apple fanboys like me to rack up a credit card bill, I mean INVEST in a new iPhone.
You know, because last year's model is now soooo obsolete right?
In all seriousness. I am choosing a new iPhone 13.
And I thought it would be nice to include YOU in this process.
I am Alex and I do down to earth tech reviews. And I am here every week!
Even if you are not buying an iPhone 13, I hope you like this for the entertainment value.
But if you are getting the iPhone 13, then my rationale might help you choose yours too.
Let's start with the standard iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini
I love the new colors, Startligh or Product Red look awesome for me. It’s funny that they
said they reduced the notch but on this 13 and 13 Mini the notch looks exactly the same as before.
It’s obviously just a perception thing but worth noting.
The big thing for me with this model is the camera upgrades its getting. They said
they could only fit those upgrades by placing the cameras diagonally.
The cynic in me thinks they’ve done this so that your friends can see that you have the
latest one. You’re not like that I know, but you know what I mean.
Regardless of how they’ve done it,
I am impressed by the sensor shift stabilisation coming to this iPhone.
I used this a lot with my 12 Pro Max, you can see some of the footage here, it really works.
And that Cinematic mode feature? This was a huge surprise to me. One thing that no one is really
talking about and I am sorry to sound like a party pooper here. But this is a down-to-earth channel.
The footage Apple shows on the website and during the launch event
is extremely well controlled from a lighting perspective.
you can tell they are using professional lighting in a well controlled space.
So don’t be disappointed when you try to make a movie in your house with standard lightbulbs.
I hope I am wrong but I’ve been disappointed before.
this is not looking cinematic at all!
Having said that,
this does look like it is leaps and bounds from what you can do with android phones.
I have been using the S21 Ultra recently and yes you have a lot of fun features when it comes to
the camera, including Portrait videos but it’s not usable at all. It just adds a haze around
the subject and looks a bit like a teams or zoom call when you can blur background.
Cinematic mode seems to be a heck of a lot better than that
but just watch out for that lighting point.
And this feature alone makes the standard iPhone 13 a great choice. But I don’t know,
let’s have a look at the Pro and Pro Max.
You already know I am picking the 13 Pro Max right? Who am I kidding?
Let’s play along anyway…Let’s pretend I am really undecided!
From what I can see in my YouTube community,
it looks like you are gonna get a protective case as well.
And shoutout to the 7% out there. I like going naked too once in a while but not all the time.
Good news for you if you are getting a new case. I am going to review quite a
few of them!! We have CASETiFY, we have Mous and loads more. I try and select cases that
I would buy myself so try to avoid the cheapo options on Amazon if you can. I will review
some budget options too, but like I said they will be the ones that I would trust myself.
After all, you are spending quite a bit of cash on this new toy so
you want to make its well protected.
So make sure you are subscribed. If you like my stuff that is.
And don’t forget the notification bell
iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max Like we’ve been saying in
my previous videos about the iPhone 13, when it comes to the Pro range and that 120Hz display,
Apple were always gonna make it sound like it’s something that never existed before.
Having said that, experience tells us that when they enter the market
with a feature they usually deliver on that.
There’s not much between the Pro and Pro Max really, same colours,
same storage options, Same display, same chip and same cameras!
So it really just comes down to size.
Personally, I’ve used the bigger iPhones since the iPhone 7
Plus so for me it’s a question of being used to that larger display.
In terms of features, and the main reason why I am going for the
Pro instead of the standard iPhone is 100% because of the camera features.
Oh you have a 12 Pro Max that you want to trade-in,
I am sure Apple will have a very reasonable deal for you.
WHAT THE ACTUAL ….
So 10 months ago I paid £1200 and now you want to give £540 for it. Are you having a laugh?
We are being ripped off as it is. Come on…
Samsung deals are much better.
WHAT??? £10 pounds more. That’s much better.
The sad reality is… It’s all the same. I know in the US you can get decent deals with Samsung but
it seems they are following Apple on this trend in the same way they did with the charging brick.
So I think I will just pass my 12 Pro Max to my wife and sell her other phone instead,
at least we will have that investment in the household.
More importantly, I can do some cool comparisons for you.
And I will see you and your smiling faces on the next one.
