Had the 13PM in Sierra Blue for 2 years and just swapped the battery with Apple 2 months ago. I’m shocked of how long the battery lasts with normal day usage. Previously I had to charge it twice a day and now I put it to bed with 75 to 80%. Would highly recommend replacing a battery instead of burying a new phone every year. It’s not worth it and your wallet will thank you for it.
you're absolutely right....13 pro max is STILL talked heavily about till this day... i'm glad i didn't upgrade yet either.... my battery health is at 81% after 3 years..... i'm anxious for a new battery....can't wait.... i'll keep it 3 more years.
GREAT video! Thanks for making it so useful. I’m sticking with my 13 Pro Max and based on my wife’s views of her 16 Pro Max that she uses for work,I think you have captured the differences perfectly. For me, no reason to upgrade my own daily workhorse mobile. Still one of the greatest iPhones ever made, in my opinion (between us, our family has had every version since the iPhone 4S).
Nice Video ! I've been using my iPhone 13 Pro Max since 2022, and I'm delighted with it. My battery is at 87% health, but even so it lasts me 2 days without any problems. It's probably one of the most robust iPhones designed by Apple. Except for the screen issues, but that's specific to certain regions, my French model is not affected.
I’ve had the iPhone 13 Pro Max since it launched and it still has 86% battery health. Never had a problem with it and I can’t justify buying a new iPhone. I’ll wait until the iPhone 20 releases 😃
I have the iPhone 16 Pro max which I upgraded from the SE 2nd gen and I love it the battery lasts me from 2-3 days depending on how I use it and the camera is top notch.
I went from the 13 pro max to the 16 pro max. At first I thought it wouldn’t be a “upgrade” but the Dynamic Island itself feels like an upgrade and Apple intelligence. Glad I got it and using the 13 pro max as a 2nd phone.
I've been using the 13 Pro Max since it came out. Great phone with no real issues, even while running betas. I plan to get the 16 Pro Max because I'm a tech guy, always looking to try out the latest and greatest. LOL Also, my carrier offers great deals when upgrading.
@@lilzuplada1564 they gave me 30% off when 16 launched but this being my first iPhone and had left Andy because of poor software support am gonna keep it till it's no longer supported. The only thing that impress me on 16 (plus) is the battery
I still have that Sierra Blue Pro Max since the day it launched,still serves me very well and the battery life is still ok with 85% health. Camera and speed are still good enough for me i just wish i had USB C on it too. I used to upgrade every 1-2 years but lately phones got to the point where they pretty much have everything,the design and hardware differences are too small to give me a good reason to upgrade it again and it's the same with Samsung and the others
Just today upgraded from 13 pro max sierra blue to 16 pro max desert titanium. Love it, really like new screen but 13 pro max it’s a beast still could easily replace a battery and go for couple more years. 😊
I had a sierra blue 13 pro max. Honestly one of the best iPhone colours that Apple released, in my opinion. Part of me wishes I kept it instead of trading it in for a black 14 pro max (and later replacing that with a 16 pro max)
yeah i loved my 13 pro in sierra blue. definitely one of the best colours in recent years. ive got my 15 pro max in blue titanium that i’ve had for a year now, no point in upgrading for me personally yet
I still think the 13 pro max battery was the best and I own the 16 pro max. I think the 16 pro max has good battery but once it goes from 50 down it falls fast in battery
If you're coming from 13 Pro, it's really worth it to Upgrade from 13 Pro to 16 Pro Max. But if you're coming from 13 Pro Max. It's not really worth it! I'm a user of 13 Pro Max for 3 years and now a 16 Pro Max user. There's no massive difference. Maybe you'll notice the difference for just 1 week! But after that. No surprise at all. I should have wait the 17 Pro Max with a redesigned (rumor). But still enjoying the AI and Chatgpt of 16 Pro Max.
How about the camera, USBc allowing easier downloading your data and pictures to a ssd or external drive, better screen brightness. Will agree the 13PM is excellent if these things aren’t important.
@ Honestly, i did my own Camera/Photo Comparison for the both Phones. 13 Pro Max Photos looks natural and really really not Bad! And 16 Pro Max Photos looks so Amazing and i only hate one thing is that Yellowish of all the Photos! Even if, the Lighting was white and even in the outside camera shots. You will notice this kinda yellowish. Not just because of the True tone or something. I used both true tone for the phones. Battery performance! Same as my Iphone 13 Pro Max when it's new. 6am to 8pm maximum. Open cell data all day! I just shifted to 16 Pro Max because of my Iphone 13 pro max battery health decreased to 80%. But, i can still use it all day 6am to 2pm. USBc is great added feature. About the brightness, since i'm working in the office (indoor) i really didn't notice the differences. Brightness of the 16 Pro Max is way more brighter than 13 Pro Max! Of course. But, i don't use it both under the sun so, i can't see the difference.
Since the iOS 17.2, The Qi2 wireless charging support have been added for the iPhone 13 models and iPhone 14 models but the iPhone 12 models have a limited support to the 5W Qi wireless charging support due to it's own original MagSafe charging.
As always, you create the videos I need. I have had my 13PM since about a month after launch and it is now showing signs of abuse from working outdoors in a muddy, wet and clay, concrete mixing environment. It has held up well including battery life. I agree at the start for a good while, I considered it a two day phone. What I needed was a video to really show the difference. Cheers mate. Happy holidays
I really liked my 13 Pro Max. I turned it in when I upgraded to the 16 Pro at Verizon on the first day. They offered a $1000 rebate for any phone. I regret not having turned in my old iPhone 5S and kept the 13PM as a reliable backup device.
Upgraded from the 13 Pro Max and I love it as well, but I must admit I believe my 13 pro max could have lasted atleast two more years with updates. I had it since release.
I still enjoy using my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Had it since it lounched. There's no need to upgrade. Looking forward to keeping it for at least 2 more years. My battery health is still at 87%
Using the 13 PM right now. When I upgrade to the 17 PM or 18 PM or Ultra , I will buy it from Canada or France. I got have a SIM Card Tray in my daily driver because I travel a lot.
My 13 Pro Max will easily last me until the the 17 Pro Max comes out and if I decide not to go with the 17 Pro Max I’ll just get the battery replaced. Yes, it’s that good, Lol. Also, I prefer the cameras 📸 on the 13 Pro Max.
13 pro max was solid year they made it too good. I upgraded from it and keep it as a second phone with 16 pro max. I could’ve went on another 3 years easily and waited for 19
I went from a 13 pm to a 15 pm the difference is minor but I had waaaaay better battery life on the 13 pm I even went in and cut off background app refresh but other than that they both are solid as iPhone can get I can’t speak for the 16
I upgraded from normal 13 Pro to 16 Pro Max. To be honest 13 Pro was still fine probably for another 2 years, except the battery that was at 79% health. I enjoy having a bigger screen, i always had big screens but when i bought 13 Pro my job involved movement and walking and having a big phone in my pocket wasn’t the best option. Now my job it’s different and that’s not a problem anymore. Basically i’m still a truck driver but i don’t manually unload/load the trailer each day by myself anymore. Back to phones, 13 Pro was such a good generation, the only essential feature you miss it’s type-c usb. Finally my iPhone doesn’t need a special cable. Otherwise decent updates but not a revolutionary change. Personally didn’t plan the upgrade but i was in an Apple Store, liked the size, small bezel, rounded titanium edges and the colour. Natural titanium looks great. All of this until i put a Rockform case on it, same like i have on 13 Pro. Now looks identical except bigger. 😂😂😂
I have a 16 Pro Max, coming from a 12 Pro Max. If I had a 13 Pro Max instead, I wouldn’t have bothered upgrading. Just one of those phones that stands the test of time, such a beast
Definitely iPhone 16 Pro Max is the best piece of tech but iPhone 13 Pro Max was majestic when it came out especially in the alpine green which was my personal favourite. Btw, a great video Aaron. Really a worthy comparison.
The 13 Pro Max is a beast, I love the camera and even though the battery health is 84% I still get a full days use out of it with 30 - 40 % charge still left. I will replace the battery at some stage and then it will be good to go for another 10 years. Looking at the photos, I think I prefer the 13 to the 16.
I almost bought a 15 Pro Max because they were on sale for a few hundred dollars off. I think I'll wait for next year and get the 17 instead. My 13PM is still holding up great
Even though battery life is on 80% and I've a couple dead pixels I am Not upgrading my iPhone XR. It still get the latest iOS updates. If Apple decides that it won’t get the next update I will eventually upgrade.
Anyone that upgraded from the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 16 pro max you wasted your money. The best update that makes sense is the iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPhone 17 pro max
Thank for showing and comparing two iPhone. I have a 13 Pro Max. I personally don't feel like upgrading to 16 because it so tiny tiny changed. So first to another iPhone for $1199 for 256 Max. The problem is the 13 have Wi-Fi 6 and iPhone 16 Pro Wi-Fi 7 Is Misleading. "Wi-Fi 7 The iPhone 16 lineup doesn't seem to support 320 MHz 6 GHz channels! Yeah, I wait until iPhone 17 come out. Double check it for yourself.
13 pro max sierra blue here. I’m not upgrading until I absolutely need to. My battery is on 95% capacity and I can get 2-3 days on a charge. Not to mention it’s so close to being paid off. lol 😂
@ nope, I bought it new a few months before the 14 series released. I keep my battery between 20-80% and rarely charge over 80%. The annoying part is you can’t set a charge limit on the 13 series like the new 16 models have. So I just try to watch it and unplug it around 80%. I’m not much of a power user so I get 2-3 days on a charge but I can push it and drain it in one day if I’m using it a lot. Also it’s mostly on WiFi 90% of the tine too.
@@J.B-is8fb okay so it must be less used and yeah mostly at home that too on wifi socbegter stability is for sure , well for that 80% limit or even 90% limit , make a shortcut bro , it will notify you with a sound or siri will announce that it has reached 80% or whatever, which u can see on RUclips but yeah just giving u suggestion that honestly it doesn't work much believe me it's just a gimmick , it actually depends on how u r using ur phone , what settings to be turned off which consume battery , also what apps u use , whether on data or wifi , whether or not dark mode is there or not been used by you nd much more things , and all these effective settings are there on RUclips, but That 80% is not that much effective coz I have 15 plus and 15 pro max at home , nd 15 plus being used effectively with 100% charge with all useless setting turned off like iphone analytics , background app refresh etc.. nd not 80% retains 98% bh still after 1 yr 1.5 months whereas 15 pro max with 80% limitation is on 87% after 1yr only used on 5g mostly [less wifi ]no settings being turned off or any precautions wih AOD on sometimes, so you see the difference it's all about effective usage
I upgraded from a 13 Pro Max to a 16 Pro max. My battery health was at 79% and the screen gave out at one point which Apple thankfully replaced for free. It was a good phone, but it was time for an upgrade.
I will keep my 13 pro max..till dieee u know why .. bcz its solide phone and perfect in everything .. and walk with any newest phones comes even in 2030.. nothing need to upgrade.. the 120 hz alone its amazing.. ur battery strong.. ur 3 cameras is wonderful in day and night and had cinematic mode..u have big screen..sterio sound.. the 15 bionic chip manage everything in strong way..… so tell meeeee why u change ??????
That freezing happens quite often for me on my 16 Pro Max… but only in certain apps like Safari. That would almost never happen on my 13 Pro so that’s quite odd.
I'm experiencing low volume issue. I've compared the speaker sound between the 16 Pro Max and the 13 Pro Max. The 13 Pro Max is noticeably louder, whether I'm listening to music or making phone calls, especially when it comes to the earpiece. I can't figure out what's wrong. I took my phone to an Apple Store in Saudi Arabia, where they ran a diagnostic using an app on a laptop, but no errors were found.
Use a tooth brush and clean the debri from the mesh or use the old needle trick by sticking a needle through the speaker grill that worked for me and a lot of people that thought their iPhone were faulty sometimes the insulation from the water protector (iPS 68) around the speakers can make the sound seemed muffled
I have microphone distortion on my base 16 and they ran the diagnostics too - no errors found. I've assured them theres something wrong - even sent them all of the audio and video evidence of it and the engineers claimed they can't hear any issue, while everyone I know who I've played it for, can hear it clear as day. Very frustrating. My replacement 16 has the exact same issue.
I am choose 16Pro Max white colour, with 1TB internal storage, and my humble opinion, this is THE BEST iPhone ever. Until come next year iPhone 17Pro Max, with new camera setup, we hope!
I would say the changes in the 16 coming from a 13 aren't enough to be honest. Screen, battery and all that are so, so close that it's literally nit picking at this point. Cameras are better on the 16 for sure but I don't know if you could clearly tell on a side-by-side unlabelled comparison. At this point in tech it feels like 5 years is the point to upgrade
I really miss the close focus on the 13PM for product photos and hate that Dynamic Island cuts into 2:1 content like this video! However the 15/16PM 5x 2x and weight reduction are worth putting up with it.
The only thing i miss about my 13 pro max is that sierra blue color best color ever att gave me 1,000$ credit so i figured why not upgrade before its too late
Funny. I was just setting up a used iPhone 13 Pro Max earlier for someone. I really miss the polished metal from the 12/13/14 Pro series. It’s still of the very best from Apple.
Love Apple but I want to see them start being more creative when it comes to their phones tire of the same look every year since the iPhone 11 especially the back where the camera is located

Ah yes, we should avoid burying new phones yearly because they are barely new. Good one there 👍
Have you experienced any Media volume, and brightness difference before and after changing the battery. ???

Am a peasant and still holding dearly on my 13 base model. I going to use it till it can't work anymore 😊
Get the iPhone 16 on a huge carrier discount next year. That’ll give you an extended longevity and your iPhone 13 would still have some resale value
Stop it,
The Base 13 does EVERYTHING the 16 does.

The annoying part is you can’t set a charge limit on the 13 series like the new 16 models have. So I just try to watch it and unplug it around 80%. I’m not much of a power user so I get 2-3 days on a charge but I can push it and drain it in one day if I’m using it a lot. Also it’s mostly on WiFi 90% of the tine too.
@@J.B-is8fb okay so it must be less used and yeah mostly at home that too on wifi socbegter stability is for sure , well for that 80% limit or even 90% limit , make a shortcut bro , it will notify you with a sound or siri will announce that it has reached 80% or whatever, which u can see on RUclips but yeah just giving u suggestion that honestly it doesn't work much believe me it's just a gimmick , it actually depends on how u r using ur phone , what settings to be turned off which consume battery , also what apps u use , whether on data or wifi , whether or not dark mode is there or not been used by you nd much more things , and all these effective settings are there on RUclips, but That 80% is not that much effective coz I have 15 plus and 15 pro max at home , nd 15 plus being used effectively with 100% charge with all useless setting turned off like iphone analytics , background app refresh etc.. nd not 80% retains 98% bh still after 1 yr 1.5 months whereas 15 pro max with 80% limitation is on 87% after 1yr only used on 5g mostly [less wifi ]no settings being turned off or any precautions wih AOD on sometimes, so you see the difference it's all about effective usage
Totally different phones. 13PM was great but 16PM is totally different offering so much more.
I upgraded from a 13 Pro Max to a 16 Pro max. My battery health was at 79% and the screen gave out at one point which Apple thankfully replaced for free. It was a good phone, but it was time for an upgrade.
What made the screen give out
@ It’s that issue the 13 series had with some of their displays. It just went fully white one day due to a manufacturing defect.
@@salindasa oh damn good thing I sold my 13 pro max then
Should I wait for 17 Pro Max if I have a smaller 14 Pro 2 years old with 86% battery health? Is it worth it over upgrading to the 16 Pro Max?
I would wait. 17 Pro Max will most likely be a much bigger upgrade with the rumored redesign
I will keep my 13 pro max..till dieee u know why .. bcz its solide phone and perfect in everything .. and walk with any newest phones comes even in 2030.. nothing need to upgrade.. the 120 hz alone its amazing.. ur battery strong.. ur 3 cameras is wonderful in day and night and had cinematic mode..u have big screen..sterio sound.. the 15 bionic chip manage everything in strong way..… so tell meeeee why u change ??????
iPhone 13 PM 🔥is a GOAT 💀
I’ll wait until the iPhone 20.
Your videos are the most informative and enjoyable on YT. Thank you. : )
I love my 13 Pro Max silver.
That freezing happens quite often for me on my 16 Pro Max… but only in certain apps like Safari. That would almost never happen on my 13 Pro so that’s quite odd.
Thank you Aaron 😊
Thanks for the vid but will stay with the 13 pro max.
I have the 13 pro max no reason to upgrade 16 pro max but S24 ultra
At 1:37 I thought the iPhone tower was so funny
Im looking to upgrade from 11pro ... and i dont know which one between 16 pro or the regular one
The regular one is on par with the pro only difference is 60hz on base model 120 hz pro model
I went back to my 13 Pro Max there are actually few differences n I love my 13 PM so bad I downgraded back to it💯🤞🏽
1:41 how and why do you balance your phones like that? i always fear they might fall and the screen will crack
I'm experiencing low volume issue. I've compared the speaker sound between the 16 Pro Max and the 13 Pro Max. The 13 Pro Max is noticeably louder, whether I'm listening to music or making phone calls, especially when it comes to the earpiece. I can't figure out what's wrong. I took my phone to an Apple Store in Saudi Arabia, where they ran a diagnostic using an app on a laptop, but no errors were found.
Use a tooth brush and clean the debri from the mesh or use the old needle trick by sticking a needle through the speaker grill that worked for me and a lot of people that thought their iPhone were faulty sometimes the insulation from the water protector (iPS 68) around the speakers can make the sound seemed muffled
I have microphone distortion on my base 16 and they ran the diagnostics too - no errors found. I've assured them theres something wrong - even sent them all of the audio and video evidence of it and the engineers claimed they can't hear any issue, while everyone I know who I've played it for, can hear it clear as day. Very frustrating. My replacement 16 has the exact same issue.
13 mini still rocks :)
16 pro max seems like another 13 pro max year to me. It will be goated
13 P/PM was totally peak iPhone.
13 was 🔥
MOST INTERESTING VIDEO. Rly )) And thanks for that ))
I am choose 16Pro Max white colour, with 1TB internal storage, and my humble opinion, this is THE BEST iPhone ever.
Until come next year iPhone 17Pro Max, with new camera setup, we hope!
Must be a slow day
I would say the changes in the 16 coming from a 13 aren't enough to be honest. Screen, battery and all that are so, so close that it's literally nit picking at this point. Cameras are better on the 16 for sure but I don't know if you could clearly tell on a side-by-side unlabelled comparison.
At this point in tech it feels like 5 years is the point to upgrade
I really miss the close focus on the 13PM for product photos and hate that Dynamic Island cuts into 2:1 content like this video! However the 15/16PM 5x 2x and weight reduction are worth putting up with it.
Thank you
The only thing i miss about my 13 pro max is that sierra blue color best color ever att gave me 1,000$ credit so i figured why not upgrade before its too late
I bought. My 15 pro max cash no worth thr upgrade to the 16 pro max
I went from an 11 to a 16 pro max I love it
Ip13 pm LPDDR4X 6GB/ ip16 pm LPDDR5X 8GB
Funny. I was just setting up a used iPhone 13 Pro Max earlier for someone. I really miss the polished metal from the 12/13/14 Pro series. It’s still of the very best from Apple.
IPhone 13 is the best
Keep bringing up PWM. Thank you! 🙏🏼
I had the 14, and upgraded to the 16 pro max, but i wish i got the pro because the max is huge. But i like it
12 pro max pacific blue to a dessert titanium 16 pro max, definitely a big jump but not exactly a leap!
Love Apple but I want to see them start being more creative when it comes to their phones tire of the same look every year since the iPhone 11 especially the back where the camera is located
