**Correction** The 128 GB iPhone 13 Pro can shoot in ProRes, just at 1080p. If you want 4K ProRes, you need to get at least the 256 GB version.

Spam call and message filter is something I really appreciated from Android phone when I used it. I’m so happy someone else has pointed it out.

I had an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I upgraded this year. It was well worth it. Trading it into Apple made the cost of the 13 Pro Max only $300. And for those $300 you get a NEW much larger battery, new 120hz display which makes the phone feel much faster, and a whole new camera system. Honestly, it’s worth just the battery and screen alone. I’m eager to see how Apple will improve an already seemingly perfect iPhone.

One of the underrated channels in YouTube. I am hoping this channel would hit the M subs! Great job as always with the long term reviews and etc... Worthy thumbs up 👏

Thank you for the wonderful and honest review. I’ve watched a ton of videos about the iPhone Pros and just ordered mine the other day. It has been a hard decision as I’ve always had a Google phone. I’m upgrading from the Pixel 2xl to the iPhone 13pro mostly because I want an Apple Watch and as a family already subscribe to Apple plus bundle. There’s pluses and minuses on both sides (IPhone 13 pro vs Pixel 6) as you mentioned, and I will sorely miss some of the features and customizations of Android but currently am enjoying some of the unique functionalities of the Apple environment. I have an iPad, so fluent in both OS’s and am currently really liking the ‘hide my email’ feature on IOS. Thanks again, I’ll be looking out for your video on Android to Apple transitioning!

nice review - i was going to go for the iphone13pro this year and was waiting to see what the pixel6pro cost would be... if only apple's HDR processing was better and google's video was better all wrapped up in smaller unit than the 6pro, id be happy... seems there's always trade offs... apple is still crushing the shadows too much to get their trademark contrast on photos and the 6pro gets the balance much better. Currently have a pixel 5, but also have a ipad and macbook pro so agnostic.. I just like good tech.

I love your reviews so much, Josh. Great work. So clean and informative. Keep it up 💪

There’s a 4 week delay period if you want an iPhone 13 Pro. I put in an order on Oct. 13 and Apple says I should get it between Nov 11-18 -_-

[VerGiel]

I think the 13 Pro will be my next phone, as soon as I can afford it. It looks amazing.

[JollyRogerJo]

you can change your focus points if the camera messed up the focus object on cinematic mode, after you filmed...it is that good that allows you to correct that mistake on your phone...post production is a killer on it

[MDZac]

I think I’ll eventually carry an iPhone Pro model and Pixel model. I think Google and what they are doing with the Pixel is the most interesting thing happening in the Android world. Chasing specs, wow hardware features like Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc feels like a race of who can offer the most specs polished or not. Apple and Google, with their control over hardware and software are offering a different kind of experience for the end user.

It really feels like 6 months already. Time is flying.

I’m getting the iPhone 13 Pro Max Sierra Blue 512GB in 2 months

[alisonalibongo]

i just got my iphone 13 pro in gold I love it, i had the 11 pro. Thanks for this

[jammielivesay]

I’m having a hard time deciding on the pro or pro max. Why did you go with the pro?

[alexc]

I'm deciding between 13 pro max or pixel 6 pro. On one hand I have the apple ecosystem but on the other hand I miss google assistant and AI. Siri is completely dumb. Then there is lighting connector... Can't decide...

[jackxd]

the 120hz is insane, I genuinely dont think I can go back to any iphone without it.

[Real_KnqR]

whats the difference between the old iPhone 12 and 11? and should i get it ?

[JavierJimenezB]

Off topic, but I'd love to hear your impressions of the pixel 6

[deargodwhyme]

I'm really looking forward to the ecosystem switching video. I have an S21, Galaxy Watch 4, iPad, MacBook and Windows laptops, Airpods and Surface Headphones. I'm pretty platform agnostic.

I'm thinking of switching to iPhone, as the fully integrated ecosystem isnt something I've experienced. A number of little things hold me back. Most notably, I still prefer Android notification management, and using Google Messages for web allows me to send texts from any device.
