Chris, I only follow a handful of Youtubers and I comment on their videos even less. But I absolutely LOVE watching your videos! I don’t know if its your voice, your articulation or the content itself (all of which is amazing- I could listen all day!), but I’ve watched some of your videos several times over! Not only that but your videos are super informative, give me info I can ACTUALLY use and I like that you not only present opposing arguments but commit yourself one way or another- it really helps someone like me decide. Anyway, I just had to comment. Thanks for everything and keep it up- I just know you’re gonna be BIG! All the best.

Coming from a 10S Max, the 120Hz and cameras was the reason for my upgrade to Pro Max 256GB. I wished the rumored matte black was true... I settled on the Sierra blue. Looks different.

13 sensor is last year 12 pro max sensor. So basically you will get performance same as 12 pro max with slightly improved image processing pipelines.

Still seriously contemplating trading in from iPhone 11 Pro Max to the iPhone 13. Not a pro photographer, and only got the Pro Max for the better camera for family pics and trying to catch my now 3 yr old daughter w/o them coming out blurry. Tired of it being so huge, and I like how the 13 now has the stabilizer.

Guaranteed the Mini’s become the new shells for future iPhone SE’s. I think we’ll see those body styles for years to come for this reason.

[lifewithpose]

i’m upgrading to the 13 from the SE 2020. mainly for the bigger screen and the improved camera. I really enjoy photography on the iphone so i hope it will be worth it.

[captainwhatever]

Loved the video! I’ll be upgrading from the 11pm to the 13 pro. Pretty much just for the cameras and 5g

[DanMills]

I am upgrading from the 12 mini to the 13 Pro Max. This is going to be awkward for a while...

[susanpratt]

I am going from a 10R to the 13 Pro Max this year in the Sierra Blue and 256 GB. And can’t wait to get all those new features.

[attyjosh]

“Gimmicky show pony.” The “foldable” shade. 😂

[HistoryNut-]

I might upgrade around Christmas time as a present to myself. I already have the 12 Pro but according to my carrier I’m eligible to upgrade in a couple of months.

[Devyn]

I’m trying decide between the 13 and 13 Pro. My friend has a 12 and the weight is so nice compared to my 11 Pro. The fact that the 13 Pro got even heavier is annoying. But also promotion. The upgraded cameras on the pros are nice but I’m a causal user of the cameras. Decisions, decisions. I’ll try them out before I buy.

[Ramsi]

I’ve got an iPhone 8 Plus 64gb. I’m considering buying a 13 Pro 128gb or 256gb, the jury is still out, but have considered waiting for next year’s 14 and maybe the idea that the camera bump will be gone. That would in turn allow a bigger battery again. However, that’s a lot of maybe.

I’m upgrading to an Iphone 13 coming from an Iphone X. My old phone still solid but I would like better cameras. Good video 👍🏽

[focalength.]

I think there is literally no difference between iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max except the battery but then again larger screen means more battery consumption. So iPhone 13 Pro will stand a good balance among diff models. Thanks Chris for your insight!!

[announcer]

Hello. First time watching and loved it! I’m on the fence about upgrading from the 12 pro max to the 13 pro max. I’m an amateur photographer with iPhone only. So, I’m torn. Plus there are on backorder

[flyeaglesfly]

Upgrading from my midnight 11 pro to the 13 pro Sierra blue. Looking forward to the 6.1” instead of 5.8”, 120 hz and a little more battery life! What is that prop you’re using to the right behind you that’s moving, I want one aha.

[TorresX]

I was originally going from iPhone SE (2020) to iPhone 13 Mini but I think the 13 Pro is way more future-proof... I just wish there was an iPhone 13 Pro Mini... So I'll go 13 Pro 256GB graphite.

[dandansfu]

I think 120hz is like premium economy on plane

Ur right once you try premium economy you don’t want to go back. But it’s also something that honestly if u have to go back to 60hz u will be fine and get used to it
It isn’t like going to business and then ask u to go back to economy like touch ID/Face ID that u really feel dreadful when without it

[thatgirl.]

I have a 11 pro max and just preordered a 13 pro max in the new blue color! I’m excited for the upgraded cameras especially the macro mode. I don’t really do many videos but I like taking pictures.
