120hz alone is the biggest reason me including most of my friends and couple of my colleagues upgraded to it.. even my not so tech savvy mother is wanting to get rid of her 12 Pro after trying it haha...

[LeTheory]

The 120Hz was very noticeable for me and it's noticeable when I switch from 120Hz to 60Hz (like when turning on battery saver mode) but that might be because I've been using 120/144Hz gaming monitors since 2013 so I might be used to the higher refresh rate because of that so I would say that feature was pretty worth it for me but I can see that if you don't notice it, then it's not necessary (my sister didn't notice it)

Thought this was a bigger channel, quality fooled me. Good job bro

[jamescassar]

120 Hz should be standard on all phones not only the pro. It's been a standard in android for ages

[pxelguyplays]

I love the 120Hz display on mine. It’s very noticeable when you turn on low power mode and it ramps it down to 60Hz max.
The cameras are amazing for landscapes but still not there for photographing kids running around at family gatherings or anything thats fast paced. RAW is insane. Last time I used raw in a phone was LG G2, but that sensor was not good enough, so it would just result in more noise that I had to filter out. Here it’s giving me epic results. Battery is decent switching from an 11pro. Phone is heavy, but I like it that way. I like the camera bump. If it annoys someone use a case.

I just got my 13 pro max and it’s killer! It’s my first iPhone ever! I did get the 128gb model but I really don’t mind bc I prefer to use my actual camera for photos and videos (well whenever I actually get my desired video camera)

This phone has a beast of a battery, after 1 work day with lots of location on I was at 64 percent after 4 1/2 screen on time

Man that’s so incorrect for me about 120hz! The ONLY reason I picked pro over the regular 13! I can clearly tell 60hz vs 120!

I am using 13pro it’s very smooth & one handle phone👍 I used 12pro max & 11 pro max but 13pro much better than my previous one. Battery life, display, smooth 120hz, & great camera ..it’s a great & beautiful phone as per my experience😍

[Nuthingburger]

Subscribed because production value was so high. Great work. Happy to support.

I hope everyone in the comments truly understand how real this review is. I feel like people drastically aren’t capable of understanding money anymore or the value of things. Like most of you upgraded just for the 120hz display…. on a phone…. which I bet 85% of you use to just watch content. That 120 does nothing in that moment. I highly doubt most of you are pro-gamers or pro-anything for a phone of that price. I went back and forth between the 12pro and 13pro. It’s not end all be all.

[kryptokn]

How tf do you have 4.1k subs and produce quality content like this? For sure I thought you at least had a million. God Bless you man keep it up!

[Williamb]

Large camera bump on back does not allow you to lay phone flat, and beveled squared edges are extremely uncomfortable
Another case of form over function

[JonathanGurgul]

Yeah I agree with most other people here. The 120Hz is ridiculously and nearly instantly noticeable.

[Andreas-ivym]

Every time I go to use my iPad Air I can’t even do it anymore since I’m so used to high refresh now. It is very noticeable

[footm]

i've just discovered you and your videos are incredibily qualitative

[NycBeauty]

Second day with my new 13 pro max from XR. I still miss my XR. I don’t know why. The phone is inexpensive for trade in. That’s the only reason I upgraded for the first time. I n usually keep my older phone. I don’t upgrade until my phone battery slows down. I did research before upgrading.I guess after learning about the new features, I’ll grow to luv the phone. 😔

[Dinogoesrawr]

It’s kind of what Apple will do with the upcoming SE which is only getting minor upgrades. If you think about it it’s just a 12 ProS. No hate on those who upgrade 😁

[ogichhh]

I really can’t understand people who say there isn’t much of a difference between a 120 hz and 60 hz and even give scandalous examples as putting the screens side by side. It’s noticeable at even if the phones are places 2 meters from your eyes. When I accidently turn on the battery saving mode I have the feeling my phone is freezing and lagging and sometimes I’m even panicking whats happening. I kept my old one plus 8 quite some time just cause iPhone couldn’t give us the 120 hz screen. This is not a gimmick it’s a game changer and is totally worthy to give 300 bucks more for 13 pro than the base 13. Cameras are not as impressive as I thought but it’s not to say cameras are bad it’s just that they aren’t that much of an upgrade. Battery is decent, performance is great, build quality is excellent, speakers are loud and clear. Overall the 13 pro is the perfect phone if you have the money. But don’t trust ANYONE who says 120 hz is not that noticeable and better than 60 hz. Difference is huuuuge.

The camera bump shows how beautiful iPhone's back is...separates it from the rest. Easily recognized when you're holding iPhone
