I dont normally leave comments on videos. But as an ex-tech reviewer, I must say, your content is highly researched and very thoughtful, easily better than 99% of the other iPhone 13 vs pro videos that I saw. You guys are special. Keep the good work up.
This was the exact question I was considering, and you answered it perfectly. The side-by-side comparisons were very useful, and since I couldn't really see much of a difference between most of them (aside from the telephoto shot), I guess the regular 13 is for me. Excellent review!
@Torri Knouff well if battery is your priority than getting the 13 pro Max will do justice. There is not much battery difference between 13 & 13 pro so getting the 13 pro Max will be a better deal.
Love the conclusion! Upgraded from Samsung s7 to iphone 13 in starlight. I love the extra features on the 13 pro, but the regular 13 is more than enough for my daily usage especially when I have a windows pc (dual moni 165hz). I don’t play games on mobile but I do read a lot so my screen on time reaches 9hrs lol. Even the 13 was kinda heavy for me, imagine getting a 13 pro and holding it all day. Would upgrade again in 4-5 yrs, either a samsung or an iphone ;) The review made me realize that you should buy a phone according to your needs and well, wants(if you have extra$) but really.. needs.
Thank you! 'Needs' is always the sensible way to buy a phone. But there's also nothing wrong with buying something every now and then just because you 'want' it! I just want to give people all the information so they can make an informed decision 👌🏼
@@nizamhuzain I do the same and it’s really not that bad. Maybe I’m just using my phone in an old fashioned way, but I don’t need things to just auto connect and send; files I can transfer with google drive, or Dropbox, etc etc. rocked android for years and even then I almost never did anything connected than occasionally read texts on my desktop, but it’s not that much harder to grab my phone and look vs stare at my screen, and an Apple Watch makes it even easier
I had to do a similar choice between 13 and 13 Pro, ended up taking the 13 because 1) I come from a 7 that I kept 5 years and the upgrade is in any case massive 2) the 13 Pro was noticeably heavier in my hand! To me a phone must remain a very portable device that you don’t notice in your pocket. If I want a heavy device that makes good photo I can get a dedicated camera. 3) I’m sure once you get used to 120Hz you can’t go back to 60, but in store the difference wasn’t so noticeable to me. 4) heavier phones are more likely to get damaged when they fall on the ground. My 7 fell like 20 times (with rhinoshield) never had a single serious issue. 5) finally, the price difference does not seem much on paper but is actually 30% more which to me is a lot, I prefer to invest it elsewhere (MagSafe charger to start, a good protective case, …)
@@scythe8609 that was my debate too, but I went for the iPhone 13 because of the battery, and I don’t regret it. But if you like small phone to use with one hand and fit on your pocket super great, then you should go for the mini but overall both fit great on your pocket.
An excellent review. Explaining why upgrading a product isn't always necessary to the average consumer is why Inside Tech is one of the best reviewers on Tech. Far too many influencers on RUclips, receive a kickback from the reviewed product to promote the upgraded product. Do it right or don't do it at all.
That's awesome to hear, thanks a lot! I'll never promote a product for the sake of it, i'd rather lose out on a collaboration than do that. The point in making these videos is to help people out, so I appreciate the feedback!
This is the best video out there that will actually help you make a decision instead of leaving you more confused after watching a comparison video. Thank you.
Pro motion, and the build quality feeling more sturdy is the main reasons why I go with the pro version this year. Plus the extra camera stuff is a bonus... Even if I'm not what you would call a professional photographer. I do use most of the camera features on the pro. But I think the 13 regular is definitely the best buy for most every day people. My wife loves her pink 13 iphone.
This is the best video I’ve seen thus far that juxtaposes these two devices effectively. Well done. I personally went with the blue iPhone 13. I didn’t need the extra features of the pro, and the 13 is a fantastic upgrade from my iPhone X.
Hi Mitchell. I did the same thing you did last week. Going from I phone X to regular 13 in starlight blue! Very happy so far- noticing a big difference in battery life and camera is great too!
I just upgraded to the IPhone 13 pro max from my IPhone XR, the difference is actually incredible. I noticed the 120 hz refresh rate instantly, the main reason I chose this model was for the battery life which is actually kinda crazy, I can use the phone for 2 whole days before the phone runs out of battery. Overall I’m so happy with what I chose.
Thanks for your in depth review! This definitely helped me decide whether or not I wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro or not. My only thing is the camera, the sleek style , refresh rate, storage, battery and the few extra features that the 13 doesn’t have but all in all there’s not much of a difference so I might stay with my 13😭 the only thing tempting me is the sleek design, camera, video quality and battery. The only thing not tempting me is my pink iPhone 13 because I love pink 😂 if they had that for the pro version I’d totally go for it
Me too, Sir! Actually, I'm currently using iPhone 6s for almost 6 years and I am planning to upgrade either 13 pro or just the regular 13. Since I saw this video comparison, I bet the regular iPhone 13 is good for me because of the reasonable price. The camera looks good too though iPhone 13 pro is more advance.
Your iphone comparison videos are so good. It felt like i was watching an "iPhone Buying Guide" made by Apple themselves, like seriously it's that good.
An excellent comparison video with sensible, level headed reasoning. On many comparison videos I often feel more unsure after watching but this video really gave me a definite answer.
I helped my mom choose between the 13 and the pro. She held my 13 promax and needed a easier phone to hold. the price on the 13 was great but she only liked the Sierra blue and overall luxurious aesthetic of the pro. its also great since its only $13 a month with a trade in.
Thank you so much! This video helped me realize I didn't make a mistake by getting the 13 after having some buyer's remorse over the lack of a macro/telephoto lens. I've been impressed by the phone's cameras, which were among the most important upgrades to me coming from a 7, but started thinking that maybe I should have gotten the Pro since it has so much better cameras all around. Seeing how little difference there was in 90% of situations despite the better Pro specs(even the digital/optical zoom comparison wasn't nearly as rough as I expected, honestly), and remembering how much I disliked the massive weighty Pro camera bump, really helped me reaffirm that I made the right choice after all.
Don’t know about others but I’m happy with my 13. Complete package I’ll say. Talking about Pro on the other side, Pro’s really a Pro. Better refreshing rate performance at it’s fullest and many other things. Can’t be underestimated though.
I had been in this dilemma since last few days as I was looking to move up from iPhone 11 and since this is like my every day work phone I think the 13 would be fine for me
The reason why I watched this video was to decided which one should I need. Now thanks to you I decided to buy iPhone 13 because the differences does not mean anything for me. Thank you for your amazing comparison, EXCELLENT!!!
Great video. The iPhone 13 is good enough and for me that £200 difference is just something I won’t benefit from. I’m sure a lot of people come to this conclusion too which is why the standard non-Pro iPhones are so popular.
I really loved this comparison! Great channel, which unlike other channels actually had a really detailed description + actual photos with the cameras. However, im still not sure which one to pick. I use my phone a lot, watching youtube, netflix, scroll on instagram and also play some games. But i have no idea wether i would notice the 120hz. Other than that, i like making pictures of landscapes, and sometimes also night photos. Currently have the Iphone 7 plus so either way its gonna be a huge upgrade, but just cant decide which one. What do you think fits me best?
Thank you! If you’re not sure…you don’t need the Pro. The 13 would still be a massive upgrade and you’re not going to notice the display since your phone is also 60 Hz. It’s cheaper, and gives you scope to upgrade to a Pro in future if you ever wanted to. Once you buy a Pro, it’s hard to ever go back down. So getting a 13 not only makes sense but also gives you more options in future!
@@insidetechltd Wow thats gotta be the quickest reply ive ever gotten. That only gives me more reason to sub to your channel. Going for the 13 then, thanks for the advice!
@@insidetechltd got the regular 13, and so far it has been a blast! Really big difference with my iphone 7 plus, especially with the camera. On another notice- do you have a screen protector and phone case that you recommend? I hope more people will find your channel and see the quality of your videos!
The regular iPhone 13 offers better value and it is lighter which is nice 👍🏾. However, I like the zoom, better night imagine quality, macro lens and zoom capability of Pro model :-(
Me too, can't decide which one to buy! The good thing about the 13 here in my country, is that it's not sold out. The iPhone 13 Pro is currrenctly not in storage many places here.
Went for GREEN iphone 13. Thou pro is amazing but i dont know if i could use all of its features since i am just a casual user. I am an android user and its my first time to have ios phone and it was amazing.
I like the pro better and think it’s worth the extra $200. To me the biggest negative of the pro is the weight and balance. It’s definitely top heavy and out of balance. My concern is that I’m more inclined to drop it
guys, we have had 60hz phones for so long now, 120 isnt that bigga deal. if u can afford it, go for it! but personally, the 13 gives every single feature of the pro and is worth the money. its basically an improved 12! i say go for the 13 😌
I’ve had the 11 for a couple years now. I’m eligible for an upgrade and I’ve been heavily thinking about getting the 13 pro. I think it’s gonna be huge upgrade for me, don’t get me wrong the 11 is still a great phone but I’ve realized after a while the speakers start to go out on the 11 & the phone is super slippery because of the curve design and doesn’t hold as much weight like the newer aluminum design
my problem with the 11 series is the display is lcd and the black look washed out, when in a case looks bulkier... 13 pro is amazing and the 120hz is fire
The speakers on the 11 are fine. And the curves are actually ergonomic to the hand rather than the straight edge on the 13. But other than that, everything else go to 13
I have to say finding the right iPhone 13 for me has been a challenge. I too came back over from Android. I already had a full specced 2017 iMac and after getting an Apple Watch for Xmas, I decided to go the whole hog to Apple. Again. I started with the 13 pro. The Mrs has the Pro Max and it’s way too heavy and big for me. I previously had the Xperia 1 ii which itself is a huge phone but does not have the weight. After some time, I found even the 13 pro too cumbersome and heavy. I then tried the 13 (normal) and 13 mini. Neither are perfect. The dimensions of the 13 are just too big in my opinion so I have kept the mini and use an iPad for everything else. A phone of the dimensions of X with Pro features would be ideal (minus a hideously large camera bump) and would be my perfect device so let’s see what the next line up brings :)
You've convinced me to switch from my android A40 to the iphone 13 also I've learnt that iphones are better for drones which I fly thankyou for your excellent info.
Excellent review like always. I’ve been an Apple fan ever since I know my self but, this is the first time I’m thinking about upgrading to a Samsung I’m a little bored now with Apple I need a more meaningful upgrade. From iPhone 📱 6s to the 13 The main user interface is the same. Trying something different next year!
i upgraded from 6s as well yes ur right it’s the same UI but I would pick this over android, as they’re all get sloppy over time and it’s not as fluid as ios
I wish they would just move the on switch a bit further away from the usual finger positions when holding it in hand I keep accidentally pressing it when listening to youtube
Heading out to purchase the 13 which shd work well for me. Thanks for the review.. I hate giving up my s10+ but this s22 is such crap as far as the battery life. Im looking forward to trying the 13....here goes nothin.
2 года назад+1
Problem for me with the Iphone 13, or 14 which i consider as my next phone coming from my Mi11i is that i clearly see the difference between 60 and 120 Hz. Every other thing is on need to try basis as i never used iOS device
I love you emphasize, the “remembre you’re not a pro user”, cause we find more-ever often believing we exploit the full potential of our phones/computers, when truly most of us, don’t, won’t and cannot, do so. And we justify it with stupid arguments such as, I need a good insta feed, when the “plain” 13 is more than enough to do so.
This video is great and i decided to buy iphone 13 because am a simple user and i saw so many comparison vedios but this time i choose easier to buy iphone thank you
This video was so clear, and I think it really heps people. I`m having an samsungs20, and next year, I want to switch to iphone 13. It`s not worth the money 13 pro for me, even if I do a lot of photos, most selfies , but I think if you are not working in photografy , 13 is good enogh. plus , I love the starlight model, it looks so wow for me.. about my samsungs20, still a good phone, and I don`t use 120 , just regular on 60,herzt, but it`s a little slow after almost two years, and with iphone, I seen old models working so good. I think this is the best thiink on iphone, you can use the phone more years
@@insidetechltd Actually watched a few more reviews (MKBHD, Tailosive and others) and they also talk how they shoed it to people and even when they explained what the difference was they didn't get a "OH YEA!" response. We tend to exaggerate and think that whatever we think is what everyone else thinks.
I guess they don’t say that because…it can record in ProRes! (I even demo this in the video using a 128 GB model). The difference is that the 128 GB models are limited to 1080p. The higher storage phones can record ProRes in 4K
The pro max for the insane battery life and 120hz screen and the Qualcomm modem make this actually a pretty big update for anyone coming from a iPhone 11 or older. If you have a 12 it is still worth it if you own your phone and can sell it for a decent price because in my opinion the iPhone 12 is going to end up like the iPhone 6 with it's poor battery life and the succeeding model being such a large update Comparatively.
Loved the video. I'm still doubt whether I should go for the pro or the standard. I'm just in 11th standard but the main thing I'm worrying about the 13 is that it's zoom is very bad. I'm not much in photography and usually take a couple of Normal pics each day but I donno if should go for the pro. I dont care about 120hz as i dont do gaming much and wanna know is the iphone 13's camera better than 12 pro max. Cause zooming and macro is definitely gonna be missed if i get the standard. In india the price difference is around $530 as standard costs 1070$ and the pro $1600
You said yourself that you're not much into photography, so I think the regular 13 is perfectly fine. I personally don't use zoomed photos much in day to day use - I can live without good zoom for those few occasions i'd like to have it. Especially for that price difference!
Great review, I find myself having a hard time between the 13 & 13 Pro as well. On one hand - Red is my fav Color - I can actually afford the 13 new - Would love to own a new phone instead of used one. On the other hand - I love the frosted glass & stainless steel - I like the macro shots it looks pleasing to the eyes - The extra features like (Pro motion, 5 core cpu & 6gb Ram) might not be fully used but it would be great to hv them You see I can afford the 13 still hv a lil bit more to spend, or for a lil more ($181) I could go for a used 13 Pro. Price diff between the 2 is $181. 13 new & 13 Pro used. Both at 256GB It's a tough decision for me but of course either way, this will be my first Ios device. Been an android user since 2011
Thank you! I would suggest you get the regular 13. It's always tempting to get the more expensive version, it's only natural to want the thing that offers more - but I don't think you need it. If you get the 13, you're giving yourself scope to upgrade in the future if you ever want to. If you get the Pro, you might have been happy with the regular 13 and never know it (and have spent more). As a first iOS device especially, the 13 is a great place to start, and once you learn what you like/don't like about the experience will help inform you if you want the Pro. If you use a phone case, you don't notice the difference in the materials. And I don't think you'll notice the performance difference either. Remember that on iOS, the RAM means much less than it does on Android. As for the high refresh rate, iOS is also very smooth so a high refresh rate screen isn't as important (though this is something you may notice if you're used to high refresh rate screens). So that would be my advice, but I also know what it's like wanting the 'very best' bit of tech. Ask yourself if you'll regret it more not getting the Pro, or spending the extra money (the latter is something you'll forget, perhaps sooner). I think the 13 is the sensible option, and remember, there's ALWAYS new/better tech. Always. The tech machine keeps on rolling. Even if you got the Pro, a new phone will come out with cool features that you want - that's why I think you should get the 13 and spend the extra money on something else cool!
@@insidetechltd Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I agree w what you just said and whichever Im getting it will still be a huge upgrade and might I say experience for me.
@@insidetechltd so true. I am still using my 6s and thinking to get the 13 rather than 14 due to little differences between the 2. But tempted to get the 14 Pro because of the dynamic island.
I upgraded from a 12Pro Max to a 13Pro and the 120hz display its so good the diffrence is massive when i get any other phone with a 60hz display now its just laggy like hell its so noticable and also the battery life is close very close and im suprised since it has a much lower battery capacity and a higher refresh rate screen plus my hands started to hurt from the 12Pro Max while using it at night before bed all in all im very pleased and suprised from the 13Pro
I'm going with the iPhone 13. I live in India and here the price difference of 40,000 rupees between the 13 and 13 pro is just not worth it if you're not a professional photographer. I'm buying the 13 for the camera, yes, but considering my budget it's just not worth it spend big bucks for the pro version when I can get a decent amount of use from the base model for my needs. Android offers much better flagships in terms of cameras but I like the iphone's optimisation when it comes to uploading on a media platform, and honestly I'm saving up to buy the new MacBook pro so. 13 it is. Thank you for the comparison man. This has got to be the most unbiased and objective review I've seen without the content creator passing on his/her own enthusiasm onto the buyer to get the expensive option. Nicely done! Cheers 🍻
Love your videos. I am not a power user, a professional photographer or a rich guy; but when it comes to phones I’d like to get the best the company has to offer. After all a smartphone is something that is very much a part of our lives these days. So I got myself the 13 Pro Max 512GB and honestly no regrets. It’s the best all round phone there is right now.
@@kaze8930 You’re right it’s a brick. But I am old school and to me if a thing is too light I feel there’s no worth to it. For something that I pay a thousand dollars. . . . it’s gotta have some weight to it.
Hello Brother - Great video with the use cases. Can you help in deciding between iPhone 14 (not pro) and iPhone 13 pro considering they’re around the same price point and hardware. I am usually a simple user and use my phone for atleast 4-5 years.
I can't tell you yet until the new iPhones come out! I'm making reviews and comparisons to the 13 series so hopefully those videos should help you out 👍🏼
Great video , earned my subbed hope to see more videos in the future. I'm an average android user thinking of switching to the iphone13. From what i can see honestly the 13 is better for us average user and saves on $ as well. For me there is almost little to no difference in the 13 vs Pros and the difference to me are super minimal which does not affect anything to me at all
Great review man! I'm sitting on the fence as to which way to go. My needs for a smart phone are basic but I love owning the latest and greatest. One major plus straight- up I can see with the pro is the use of stainless steel in the chassis built. I don't care about weight I care about quality of build and stainless steel is miles ahead of aluminium. Sure it might be going faster when it hits the ground (because of the extra weight) after that unfortunate drop but stainless steel is soooooooo much stronger than aluminium. I want my new phone to be resilient as possible to the unfortunate, guarenteed drops it will have in its life time and stainless steel is a no brainer in my opinion. The rest is history:)
Thanks a lot! It seems like you've already got your answer 🤷♂️ The Pro won't actually be going faster when it hits the ground since they have the same dimensions - so air resistance would be identical (as would their acceleration towards earth). It would experience a greater impact force though, and remember that stainless steel's main advantage over aluminium is hardness, not tensile strength. Scratch resistance is the bigger benefit. Anyway, you've got to be happy with the phone you buy, and even if the 13 offers better value for money, if you're gonna be happier having the Pro then that's more important!
Confused between 13 or 13 pro, coming from 7+ its gonna be a big upgrade! Finally today my touchID button broke and also the battery is in horribly bad health ( 78% ) doesn't last for like an hour or so, plus only 32 gb storage 😢
honestly the entire 13 line up are fantastic, its just based on how much ure willing to spend but i would definitely choose the 13 pro over the pro max and the other versions cause of how compact it is... its just the sweet spot and everything
Maybe my experience was unique, but I ended up sending the 13 Pro back to Verizon for the Regular 13. The Pro’s battery life was worse. I was kind of shocked.
As for the 120 Hz display, it's not that noticeable on iPhones. I have an iPad Pro with 120 Hz ProMotion display so I know how it displays but my iPhone 13 is smooth enough and I don't notice much difference whereas I see a big difference on Android phones between 60 Hz and 120 Hz. I think that's because iPhones use 120 Hz touch response rate. I'm personally happy with my iPhone 13 because it's lighter than pro and I didn't need the telephoto camera (my main is a Samsung and it takes better pictures, my iPhone 13 is my secondary phone).
I dont normally leave comments on videos. But as an ex-tech reviewer, I must say, your content is highly researched and very thoughtful, easily better than 99% of the other iPhone 13 vs pro videos that I saw. You guys are special. Keep the good work up.

Thank you so much! You've made a nice choice 👌🏼
I am also planning to upgrade from iPhone X🤩
Hi Mitchell. I did the same thing you did last week. Going from I phone X to regular 13 in starlight blue! Very happy so far- noticing a big difference in battery life and camera is great too!

You put so much hard work in this content!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for your in depth review! This definitely helped me decide whether or not I wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro or not. My only thing is the camera, the sleek style , refresh rate, storage, battery and the few extra features that the 13 doesn’t have but all in all there’s not much of a difference so I might stay with my 13😭 the only thing tempting me is the sleek design, camera, video quality and battery. The only thing not tempting me is my pink iPhone 13 because I love pink 😂 if they had that for the pro version I’d totally go for it
For my purposes the regular iPhone 13 is more than adequate (of course, I upgraded from an iPhone 6s 😊). This was a great review video.👍
Thank you! And wow...huge upgrade! 😱
How does it wrk
Me too, Sir! Actually, I'm currently using iPhone 6s for almost 6 years and I am planning to upgrade either 13 pro or just the regular 13. Since I saw this video comparison, I bet the regular iPhone 13 is good for me because of the reasonable price. The camera looks good too though iPhone 13 pro is more advance.
Me too from 6s plus user, i think im going to upgrade to 13 starlight
Your iphone comparison videos are so good. It felt like i was watching an "iPhone Buying Guide" made by Apple themselves, like seriously it's that good.
Thank you very much 💚
An excellent comparison video with sensible, level headed reasoning. On many comparison videos I often feel more unsure after watching but this video really gave me a definite answer.
Glad to hear it, thank you 🙌🏼
I helped my mom choose between the 13 and the pro. She held my 13 promax and needed a easier phone to hold. the price on the 13 was great but she only liked the Sierra blue and overall luxurious aesthetic of the pro. its also great since its only $13 a month with a trade in.
I got 13 and I'm pretty happy with it.
This is the best review I have ever seen on youtube... Well Done looking forward to checking out more of your videos
Thank you so much 💚
Manifesting 13 this year ❤
Thank you so much! This video helped me realize I didn't make a mistake by getting the 13 after having some buyer's remorse over the lack of a macro/telephoto lens. I've been impressed by the phone's cameras, which were among the most important upgrades to me coming from a 7, but started thinking that maybe I should have gotten the Pro since it has so much better cameras all around.
Seeing how little difference there was in 90% of situations despite the better Pro specs(even the digital/optical zoom comparison wasn't nearly as rough as I expected, honestly), and remembering how much I disliked the massive weighty Pro camera bump, really helped me reaffirm that I made the right choice after all.
Glad I could help!
Exactly the same for me here haha
Don’t know about others but I’m happy with my 13. Complete package I’ll say. Talking about Pro on the other side, Pro’s really a Pro. Better refreshing rate performance at it’s fullest and many other things. Can’t be underestimated though.
Great video. The examples are great and the review is on point. This helped me a lot. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
This was video was the best video I’ve seen comparing the phones, I even had to subscribe to your channel. Excellent!
I appreciate it, thank you! 🙌🏼
I had been in this dilemma since last few days as I was looking to move up from iPhone 11 and since this is like my every day work phone I think the 13 would be fine for me
I’ve had the PRO for over a week and I’m loving the upgrade from the iPhone 7plus. I’ll likely trade it in for an iPhone 14 though.
Big upgrade!
The reason why I watched this video was to decided which one should I need. Now thanks to you I decided to buy iPhone 13 because the differences does not mean anything for me. Thank you for your amazing comparison, EXCELLENT!!!
Thanks a lot! 🙌🏼
Great video. The iPhone 13 is good enough and for me that £200 difference is just something I won’t benefit from. I’m sure a lot of people come to this conclusion too which is why the standard non-Pro iPhones are so popular.
Thank you very much, I was really struggling to pick between the two especially with the hertz difference, but you’re help was very much needed
Glad I could help!
the biggest deference between them I think is the higher refresh rate display I can’t imagine using a device that only provides 60hz in 2022
Thanks your video made me decide for the standard 13 version. Have a nice year!
Enjoy it! And Happy New Year to you!
I really loved this comparison! Great channel, which unlike other channels actually had a really detailed description + actual photos with the cameras. However, im still not sure which one to pick.
I use my phone a lot, watching youtube, netflix, scroll on instagram and also play some games. But i have no idea wether i would notice the 120hz. Other than that, i like making pictures of landscapes, and sometimes also night photos.
Currently have the Iphone 7 plus so either way its gonna be a huge upgrade, but just cant decide which one. What do you think fits me best?
Thank you!
If you’re not sure…you don’t need the Pro. The 13 would still be a massive upgrade and you’re not going to notice the display since your phone is also 60 Hz. It’s cheaper, and gives you scope to upgrade to a Pro in future if you ever wanted to. Once you buy a Pro, it’s hard to ever go back down. So getting a 13 not only makes sense but also gives you more options in future!
@@insidetechltd Wow thats gotta be the quickest reply ive ever gotten. That only gives me more reason to sub to your channel. Going for the 13 then, thanks for the advice!
No worries! I don't get notifications for all comments sadly - but I got yours! I hope you enjoy the phone 👊🏼
@@insidetechltd got the regular 13, and so far it has been a blast! Really big difference with my iphone 7 plus, especially with the camera. On another notice- do you have a screen protector and phone case that you recommend? I hope more people will find your channel and see the quality of your videos!
I just want to say that this was a greate video to watch! Very clear presentation, quality production and very informatiove. Good job!
Thanks a lot 👊🏼
conclusion: if you are budget sensitive, go for the 13; if you are not, go for the 13 pro.
Pro is for zoom close up pictures… If you don’t use it, it is useless… then regular Iphone 13 is good enough.
The regular iPhone 13 offers better value and it is lighter which is nice 👍🏾. However, I like the zoom, better night imagine quality, macro lens and zoom capability of Pro model :-(
That's pretty much my view too!
Me too, can't decide which one to buy! The good thing about the 13 here in my country, is that it's not sold out. The iPhone 13 Pro is currrenctly not in storage many places here.
True but for really great photos I have NIKON SLR digital camera :) On regular basis I don’t need what 13 Pro offers in terms of photography.
big billion are awsm,
Went for GREEN iphone 13. Thou pro is amazing but i dont know if i could use all of its features since i am just a casual user. I am an android user and its my first time to have ios phone and it was amazing.
Nice!
Such a great video mate, very detail and helpful. Im going to change my 6s plus for 13 then!
thanks for making such a wonderful video. Iphone 13 is good for most users and I only wanted to hear that from someone to confirm my argument.
Thanks for watching!
Great video, I like the look of the regular 13 blue color the best!
It's my favourite 13 colour 👌🏼
I like the pro better and think it’s worth the extra $200. To me the biggest negative of the pro is the weight and balance. It’s definitely top heavy and out of balance. My concern is that I’m more inclined to drop it
@bobD he probably lives in latvia or somewhere in europe bc my country has the same 200€ deference
i have the regular 13 and i can confirm that yes i don’t really need the pro
guys, we have had 60hz phones for so long now, 120 isnt that bigga deal. if u can afford it, go for it! but personally, the 13 gives every single feature of the pro and is worth the money. its basically an improved 12! i say go for the 13 😌
update: i ended up w the pro max for the bigger size LMAAOAOAOAOAOOO
Such a clean and well-made video!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
amazing video review. after a lot of time saw a good tech comparison that talks business!
Thanks a lot!
Excellent, simple video. the Regular 13 for me then. Thanks again
Thank you 🙌🏼
I’ve had the 11 for a couple years now. I’m eligible for an upgrade and I’ve been heavily thinking about getting the 13 pro. I think it’s gonna be huge upgrade for me, don’t get me wrong the 11 is still a great phone but I’ve realized after a while the speakers start to go out on the 11 & the phone is super slippery because of the curve design and doesn’t hold as much weight like the newer aluminum design
I agree with you on that one! I think the upgrade will definitely be worthwhile for sure!
I done a full review on the iphone 13 pro max in graphite.... check it out if you need some more help when deciding:)
I personally like to upgrade at least every 2 years - it’s still a decent upgrade if you go for it!
my problem with the 11 series is the display is lcd and the black look washed out, when in a case looks bulkier... 13 pro is amazing and the 120hz is fire
The speakers on the 11 are fine. And the curves are actually ergonomic to the hand rather than the straight edge on the 13. But other than that, everything else go to 13
Was about to get the pro but now have just ordered the 13. Thanks for the advice, you saved me £200!👍😎
My pleasure!
Amazing video, as always. Thank you!
👊🏼👊🏼
13 it is, thank you for the review!
Nice 👌🏼 Thanks for watching!
i upgraded from the iphone 6s+ to the iphone 13 in pink. there was definitely a huge difference between both and im so glad im able to upgrade
Nice 👍🏼
I got the 13 128gb, you can get the 13 and a pair of air pods for the same price as a 13 pro 1TB, hard to justify
I have to say finding the right iPhone 13 for me has been a challenge. I too came back over from Android. I already had a full specced 2017 iMac and after getting an Apple Watch for Xmas, I decided to go the whole hog to Apple. Again.
I started with the 13 pro. The Mrs has the Pro Max and it’s way too heavy and big for me. I previously had the Xperia 1 ii which itself is a huge phone but does not have the weight.
After some time, I found even the 13 pro too cumbersome and heavy. I then tried the 13 (normal) and 13 mini. Neither are perfect. The dimensions of the 13 are just too big in my opinion so I have kept the mini and use an iPad for everything else. A phone of the dimensions of X with Pro features would be ideal (minus a hideously large camera bump) and would be my perfect device so let’s see what the next line up brings :)
Do you really feel a difference between a 13/13pro and an iPhone X? Talking about dimensions
Really loved the video 13pro for sure
Thank you!
I was confused between choosing 13, 256gb or 13pro 128gb.... it was really helpful from your video.. 🙏🧡
Which iPhone are you going with?
@@pluvse i think 13 would be good to go, yes I'll miss the ProMotion, the 3rd lens and a little bit here and there. What about you??
u should get the pro if u dm spending extra money ngl
@@lmaofao9071 ikr😂
Same thoughts. 😅
You've convinced me to switch from my android A40 to the iphone 13 also I've learnt that iphones are better for drones which I fly thankyou for your excellent info.
Thanks a lot!
Well explained. Unbiased review!
Thank you 👊🏼
I’m going for the 13 and 13 pro this month 😊 I want to see the difference for myself 🙂
Please give me one when you are done testing the two.
Awesome comparison. Doubt cleared now!
Thank you very much!
I wish the 13 had the same metallic back
Jumped from Android to iOS and I must say some thing are done way better on android. But I love the camera and processing power of iPhone
There's always pros and cons to both!
Agree with the color choices. Spot-on!
The best this year 👌🏼
I think it does justify the $200. Great video, cheers.
If it works for you, then it’s justified!
Thanks a lot 👊🏼
Amazing review! I’ll be going for the 13, although the dog was looking at the pro camera
Thank you!
Excellent review like always. I’ve been an Apple fan ever since I know my self but, this is the first time I’m thinking about upgrading to a Samsung I’m a little bored now with Apple I need a more meaningful upgrade. From iPhone 📱 6s to the 13 The main user interface is the same. Trying something different next year!
That's fair enough! And thanks a lot!
i upgraded from 6s as well
yes ur right it’s the same UI but I would pick this over android, as they’re all get sloppy over time and it’s not as fluid as ios
did you upgrade to samsung?
@@eccologg No! It’s harder than I thought 💭
I wish they would just move the on switch a bit further away from the usual finger positions when holding it in hand
I keep accidentally pressing it when listening to youtube
I still accidentally screenshot to be honest so I feel your pain!
Great video, i think i'm going to chose the pro simply because of the refresh rate being faster
Heading out to purchase the 13 which shd work well for me. Thanks for the review.. I hate giving up my s10+ but this s22 is such crap as far as the battery life. Im looking forward to trying the 13....here goes nothin.
Problem for me with the Iphone 13, or 14 which i consider as my next phone coming from my Mi11i is that i clearly see the difference between 60 and 120 Hz. Every other thing is on need to try basis as i never used iOS device
Anker has really worked their way into all of these tech guys videos lol
Brooooo please make review on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 pro. You're the most underrated tech reviewer in RUclips.
That's awesome, thank you! 👍🏼 Not many people watched my Pixel videos in the past, but if enough people want to see Pixel 6 videos then i'll do it!
@@insidetechltd Pixel is hot right now especially the 6 and 6 pro. It deserves a review
I love you emphasize, the “remembre you’re not a pro user”, cause we find more-ever often believing we exploit the full potential of our phones/computers, when truly most of us, don’t, won’t and cannot, do so. And we justify it with stupid arguments such as, I need a good insta feed, when the “plain” 13 is more than enough to do so.
Exactly. Most of us don't need the Pro and won't ever use the extra features...so why pay more?
This video is great and i decided to buy iphone 13 because am a simple user and i saw so many comparison vedios but this time i choose easier to buy iphone thank you
Thanks a lot!
This video was so clear, and I think it really heps people. I`m having an samsungs20, and next year, I want to switch to iphone 13. It`s not worth the money 13 pro for me, even if I do a lot of photos, most selfies , but I think if you are not working in photografy , 13 is good enogh. plus , I love the starlight model, it looks so wow for me.. about my samsungs20, still a good phone, and I don`t use 120 , just regular on 60,herzt, but it`s a little slow after almost two years, and with iphone, I seen old models working so good. I think this is the best thiink on iphone, you can use the phone more years
iPhone typically have very good longevity so it should be faster after 2 or so years compared to your S20. I think it'll make a nice upgrade!
Great review! U are a PRO!👍
Thanks a lot! 🙌🏼
Tried to show my wife side by side “the benefit of the smooth scrolling” 🤣 nope. Not “definitely”.
Haha, fair enough!
@@insidetechltd Actually watched a few more reviews (MKBHD, Tailosive and others) and they also talk how they shoed it to people and even when they explained what the difference was they didn't get a "OH YEA!" response.
We tend to exaggerate and think that whatever we think is what everyone else thinks.
I do not need the Pro. (thank you for this amazing review btw)
Thanks a lot!
Crystal clear video
Thanks!
It's been almost 7 years that I have the 6s and I'm thinking about upgrade to the 13 pro :)
Do it!
Rehular 13 user. Amazing review!!
Thank you very much!
One things I see very few Pro reviews mention is that you at least need a 256GB model to take ProRes videos. The 128GB cannot!
I guess they don’t say that because…it can record in ProRes! (I even demo this in the video using a 128 GB model). The difference is that the 128 GB models are limited to 1080p. The higher storage phones can record ProRes in 4K
@@insidetechltd Yup, you're right and that's what I meant, the 4K. Whoops. Thank you for the correction! Great video and review!
No worries at all! And thank you!
The pro max for the insane battery life and 120hz screen and the Qualcomm modem make this actually a pretty big update for anyone coming from a iPhone 11 or older. If you have a 12 it is still worth it if you own your phone and can sell it for a decent price because in my opinion the iPhone 12 is going to end up like the iPhone 6 with it's poor battery life and the succeeding model being such a large update Comparatively.
The 13 Pro Max battery life is just 🤯
Older video but I wish more reviewers would actually point out that Apple charges $30 more for the unlocked version...
Sorry, I'm a UK reviewer so it's not an issue that affects us - i'll try to point it out in future though!
Loved the video. I'm still doubt whether I should go for the pro or the standard. I'm just in 11th standard but the main thing I'm worrying about the 13 is that it's zoom is very bad. I'm not much in photography and usually take a couple of Normal pics each day but I donno if should go for the pro. I dont care about 120hz as i dont do gaming much and wanna know is the iphone 13's camera better than 12 pro max. Cause zooming and macro is definitely gonna be missed if i get the standard. In india the price difference is around $530 as standard costs 1070$ and the pro $1600
You said yourself that you're not much into photography, so I think the regular 13 is perfectly fine. I personally don't use zoomed photos much in day to day use - I can live without good zoom for those few occasions i'd like to have it. Especially for that price difference!
Great review, I find myself having a hard time between the 13 & 13 Pro as well.
On one hand
- Red is my fav Color
- I can actually afford the 13 new
- Would love to own a new phone instead of used one.
On the other hand
- I love the frosted glass & stainless steel
- I like the macro shots it looks pleasing to the eyes
- The extra features like (Pro motion, 5 core cpu & 6gb Ram) might not be fully used but it would be great to hv them
You see I can afford the 13 still hv a lil bit more to spend, or for a lil more ($181) I could go for a used 13 Pro.
Price diff between the 2 is $181. 13 new & 13 Pro used. Both at 256GB
It's a tough decision for me but of course either way, this will be my first Ios device. Been an android user since 2011
Thank you!
I would suggest you get the regular 13. It's always tempting to get the more expensive version, it's only natural to want the thing that offers more - but I don't think you need it. If you get the 13, you're giving yourself scope to upgrade in the future if you ever want to. If you get the Pro, you might have been happy with the regular 13 and never know it (and have spent more).
As a first iOS device especially, the 13 is a great place to start, and once you learn what you like/don't like about the experience will help inform you if you want the Pro. If you use a phone case, you don't notice the difference in the materials. And I don't think you'll notice the performance difference either. Remember that on iOS, the RAM means much less than it does on Android. As for the high refresh rate, iOS is also very smooth so a high refresh rate screen isn't as important (though this is something you may notice if you're used to high refresh rate screens).
So that would be my advice, but I also know what it's like wanting the 'very best' bit of tech. Ask yourself if you'll regret it more not getting the Pro, or spending the extra money (the latter is something you'll forget, perhaps sooner). I think the 13 is the sensible option, and remember, there's ALWAYS new/better tech. Always. The tech machine keeps on rolling. Even if you got the Pro, a new phone will come out with cool features that you want - that's why I think you should get the 13 and spend the extra money on something else cool!
@@insidetechltd Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I agree w what you just said and whichever Im getting it will still be a huge upgrade and might I say experience for me.
@@dyll109 It's a win either way, I hope you enjoy it!
@@insidetechltd so true. I am still using my 6s and thinking to get the 13 rather than 14 due to little differences between the 2. But tempted to get the 14 Pro because of the dynamic island.
@@peanutbutter6365 in that same situation here
I upgraded from a 12Pro Max to a 13Pro and the 120hz display its so good the diffrence is massive when i get any other phone with a 60hz display now its just laggy like hell its so noticable and also the battery life is close very close and im suprised since it has a much lower battery capacity and a higher refresh rate screen plus my hands started to hurt from the 12Pro Max while using it at night before bed all in all im very pleased and suprised from the 13Pro

I'm going with the iPhone 13. I live in India and here the price difference of 40,000 rupees between the 13 and 13 pro is just not worth it if you're not a professional photographer. I'm buying the 13 for the camera, yes, but considering my budget it's just not worth it spend big bucks for the pro version when I can get a decent amount of use from the base model for my needs. Android offers much better flagships in terms of cameras but I like the iphone's optimisation when it comes to uploading on a media platform, and honestly I'm saving up to buy the new MacBook pro so. 13 it is. Thank you for the comparison man. This has got to be the most unbiased and objective review I've seen without the content creator passing on his/her own enthusiasm onto the buyer to get the expensive option. Nicely done! Cheers 🍻
Love your videos. I am not a power user, a professional photographer or a rich guy; but when it comes to phones I’d like to get the best the company has to offer. After all a smartphone is something that is very much a part of our lives these days. So I got myself the 13 Pro Max 512GB and honestly no regrets. It’s the best all round phone there is right now.
Yeah I can understand that too 👏🏼
512gb is overkill
It’s a brick!
You could probably throw that thing and kill someone!! It’s so heavy…..
@@kaze8930 You’re right it’s a brick. But I am old school and to me if a thing is too light I feel there’s no worth to it. For something that I pay a thousand dollars. . . . it’s gotta have some weight to it.

Hello Brother - Great video with the use cases. Can you help in deciding between iPhone 14 (not pro) and iPhone 13 pro considering they’re around the same price point and hardware. I am usually a simple user and use my phone for atleast 4-5 years.
I can't tell you yet until the new iPhones come out! I'm making reviews and comparisons to the 13 series so hopefully those videos should help you out 👍🏼
Thank you. I’ll wait for you to post your review of the 14’s.
Great video , earned my subbed hope to see more videos in the future. I'm an average android user thinking of switching to the iphone13. From what i can see honestly the 13 is better for us average user and saves on $ as well. For me there is almost little to no difference in the 13 vs Pros and the difference to me are super minimal which does not affect anything to me at all
Awesome 👊🏼
Great review man!
I'm sitting on the fence as to which way to go. My needs for a smart phone are basic but I love owning the latest and greatest. One major plus straight- up I can see with the pro is the use of stainless steel in the chassis built. I don't care about weight I care about quality of build and stainless steel is miles ahead of aluminium. Sure it might be going faster when it hits the ground (because of the extra weight) after that unfortunate drop but stainless steel is soooooooo much stronger than aluminium. I want my new phone to be resilient as possible to the unfortunate, guarenteed drops it will have in its life time and stainless steel is a no brainer in my opinion. The rest is history:)
Thanks a lot! It seems like you've already got your answer 🤷♂️ The Pro won't actually be going faster when it hits the ground since they have the same dimensions - so air resistance would be identical (as would their acceleration towards earth). It would experience a greater impact force though, and remember that stainless steel's main advantage over aluminium is hardness, not tensile strength. Scratch resistance is the bigger benefit.
Anyway, you've got to be happy with the phone you buy, and even if the 13 offers better value for money, if you're gonna be happier having the Pro then that's more important!
I bought myself the iPhone 13 in Green two weeks ago might get my son the 13 or 13 pro in Green when I am next Due an upgrade thanks for sharing X
Great review! I upgraded from Samsung S7 to the 13 Pro. question - at 3:36, what game is that?
Thank you! It's Pascal's Wager - one of the 120 Hz games on the app store
Confused between 13 or 13 pro, coming from 7+ its gonna be a big upgrade! Finally today my touchID button broke and also the battery is in horribly bad health ( 78% ) doesn't last for like an hour or so, plus only 32 gb storage 😢
Same
Got the pro
@ThatGuyJamal nice Congrats. I got the 128gb gold
honestly the entire 13 line up are fantastic, its just based on how much ure willing to spend but i would definitely choose the 13 pro over the pro max and the other versions cause of how compact it is... its just the sweet spot and everything
@ThatGuyJamal happy to hear man, finally you're up to date and you can get to experience how much of a beast the 13 pro is for years to come :) ❤️
I bought my gf the iPhone 13 and instantly she was asking why my phone screen was different.
She’s a keeper!
I love the 13, but having no optical zoom, way less ram and a 60Hz screen does make a difference. The ram management its very poor
Apple's ram management is actually good. It will make a difference in gaming, graphics and being fast if you plan to keep it for many years.
The Face ID in the 13 is massive. Even in darkness it can still read my face
What is the game in 3:47
Pascal's Wager
Maybe my experience was unique, but I ended up sending the 13 Pro back to Verizon for the Regular 13. The Pro’s battery life was worse. I was kind of shocked.
As for the 120 Hz display, it's not that noticeable on iPhones. I have an iPad Pro with 120 Hz ProMotion display so I know how it displays but my iPhone 13 is smooth enough and I don't notice much difference whereas I see a big difference on Android phones between 60 Hz and 120 Hz. I think that's because iPhones use 120 Hz touch response rate. I'm personally happy with my iPhone 13 because it's lighter than pro and I didn't need the telephoto camera (my main is a Samsung and it takes better pictures, my iPhone 13 is my secondary phone).
Exactly this ^
It’s not as big a difference on iPhones as it is on Android for sure 👌🏼
