Apple iPhone 13 Pro

Technical specifications

I would like to supplement my comment from April with a problem regarding the photos, or rather the appearance of skin in the photos of this model. The 13 pro has a built in mandatory beauty filter that cannot be disabled. This often results in unnaturally blurred facial skin, which looks extremely poor. I should note that this does not happen in 100% of cases. The skin of white people is sometimes too orange or too pink. There are many threads on the internet about this; I recommend checking "iphone 13 pro bad photos" etc. For me, the photos are too brightened in the shadows, which looks unnatural; I prefer to process this myself in PS. The rest of the phone, however, is a positive aspect. Perhaps they will improve the photos someday; the weight is a disadvantage, although my hand has already become accustomed and I do not feel it as much as at the beginning. On the other hand, when I pick up another phone, it seems to me that it weighs almost nothing.

Definitely a positive. Used for 5 months and it is excellent, I am delighted with the sound while watching Netflix and playing games, smooth performance, good camera. I recommend it.

I switched to this model from an iPhone 14 Pro Max after two iPhone 14 Pro Max units turned out to be defective.

The first iPhone 14 Pro Max, purchased used under Apple warranty, was sent for repair after a few months and replaced with a new one; the new one was unable to transfer all data from the replacement iPhone or from the cloud. Then it started freezing, so I went to the service point and traded in the iPhone 14 Pro Max under warranty for an iPhone 13 Pro and accessories, and I am delighted with this phone.

Small and handy, it has good battery life, takes much better selfies than the Pro Max, and this Sierra Blue color is wonderful. I do not even notice the absence of the Dynamic Island.

I switched to iPhones from a Samsung S20 FE, which I use every day as a second phone. The iPhone 13 Pro is a perfect phone, although it must be admitted that there are differences in usage; however, having both phones, I do not feel it that strongly.

I was forced to use this phone temporarily and I recommend avoiding it completely, or if you do use it, a battery replacement is necessary for relatively normal functioning. Performance and the screen are still satisfactory, but the battery, slow charging, and system errors on newer iOS versions are gradually becoming bothersome. The iPhone 13 models currently are like the iPhone 11 models were 2-4 years ago; they are usable but are starting to fall behind. On the positive side is the camera system, which at the time (2021) was exceptional and is still very good now, especially for video and photos at 1-3x zoom; there is no significant difference compared to newer generations.

I was very disappointed with the iPhone 13 Pro 128GB. The worst thing is the battery, which sometimes had trouble lasting until the end of the day and occasionally overheated. It is uncomfortable to use, fits poorly in the hand, and feels poorly balanced. There is no possibility of expanding the memory, and the unlocking system is annoying - face id. Among the advantages are a decent camera and the ability to attract attention on the bus, but that is all haha:P I am returning to Android!

I used it for about a year and everything was great, but later it started losing signal or I could not understand the caller during a conversation. It was sent for warranty repair where the antenna and something related to the SIM card were replaced. It was fine for a while, but the problem returned, which is why I switched to the IP 14 promax. I will not write a negative review because I might have simply received a defective unit; besides that, nothing else was wrong with the phone.

My first and last iPhone. I have never been so disappointed with a purchase in my life. The battery performance is very poor, and transferring photos and videos to a Windows computer - is extremely problematic. Also, it frequently logs me out of applications, which is very troublesome. A plus for the stabilization during recording.

The best phone for current times. I have the 256GB version and I take photos in RAW, especially in dark rooms - they are much better than the competition! Not to mention videos in ProRes. If you are going to buy it, get only the 256GB version and higher. I recommend it.

A successful iPhone model, if you often take photos and videos, buy only the model with 256Gb of memory or more (Pro Raw / Pro Res). The phone is solid, nice, and handy.

This is my first and last iPhone. Never again. An ordeal, everything is difficult, it freezes. The photos are terrible despite the PRO version. Money wasted
