I upgraded from an 8+ to a 13 pro max and from that perspective, the improvement of tech is pretty incredible.

Going from an iPhone XS to the 13 Pro Max is an insane change. The battery life is absolutely insane. I had a slow day at work and managed to rack up over 7 hours of screen time. I still had 41% battery life. Its borderline unbelievable.

I’ve upgraded from the 11 to the 13 pro max, and I gotta say, the screen is so much better, 120HZ and perfect color and it gets really bright. The cameras are also nice and the new features are fun, and the battery absolutely blew me away, I’ve never been able to get through a full day without charging.

Watching this didn’t annoy me, didn’t leave me lacking knowledge, didn’t take a bunch of skipping, you’re overall just a very good channel. Keep doin what you’re doin man, your voice is calming and you’re explaining things in a way most can understand, and this has been the best technology video I’ve watched in a while

MKBHD intros so good they could replace the phone with a literal $1300 potato and I'd be like damn... I gotta get that potato

I’ve been using my iPhone 6S since 2015. 3 new batteries and many memories later after 6.5 years, it was finally time. It had zero disk space despite apps uninstalled and then Bluetooth died. I ordered an iPhone 13 Pro 256 from Apple and it arrived the next day. The jump in performance, battery, cameras, display, is just massive. Looking forward to many years with this one!

I’ve had an iPhone 8 for 3 years and the screen suddenly froze. So me and my family decided to get the 13 pro as an upgrade. Man, it was insane! The cinematography mode on the camera was simply amazing. I loved how flexible and quick you can transition between different apps.

Still using the 13 pro in 2023, absolutely love it still. Will probably hang onto it for at least another year or two

I got the iPhone 13 Pro Max, to record gaming videos on the phone. I definitely noticed promotion in action. I got used to it, then went back on the iPhone 12 Pro max to record other parts of the game, and wow… it felt super choppy. I definitely enjoy the 120hz so much.

This finally pushes me for an upgrade from my iPhone X. I've been holding out on upgrading for 4 years now. I know the difference will be big for sure!

I’m still using my 13 Pro, it’s perfect. I’ve tried the 14, 14 Pro/PM, 15 Plus, 15 PM and I’ve always came back to the 13 Pro. It’s still on iOS 15 and it just works.

Hey. I upgraded from the XR to the 13 pro in Alpine green. I love it, especially the cameras. I am actually watching this video on it. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for the content and hard work.

I am not a fan of the feature where they disable faceID if you change the screen yourself, even if you use an OEM Apple screen. It is a shame how they are tying the newer & superior technology to the slow conditioning of consumers that the device isn't theirs to do as they please with.

That intro came out a treat, amazing!

Im upgrading from an 11 Pro Max to a 13 Pro Max and the improvements from the 11 are pretty big and im very happy with my purchase

I’m about to get a 13 Pro this April, and I’m very excited. Coming from the Xs Max, I’ll be missing 3D Touch.

What a great sponsor transition

I upgraded from a iPhone 8 Plus that I’ve had since it came out, to the 13 Pro Max, and it was an awesome upgrade! The 13 Pro Max is a great phone. My favorite new feature has to be the battery life. Battery usually lasts me 2 days. Huge upgrade compared to my 8 Plus’s battery that would last half a day lol.

This intro is till this date, my most favorite intro of any KZfaq video out there. Every detail. The whole aesthetic. Love it!

I’ve upgraded from an 8 to the 13 pro and the difference between screen and camera quality is unreal. The sierra blue colour is so nice, happy I chose it over the graphite

Just upgraded from an X and I’m loving everything about it. The giant cameras feel like a flex lol and the battery life is more than I could ever ask for. 10/10 for me

I switched over to the 13 pro max specifically because I need a good battery life for my job, because I’m out on the road for up to 12 hours at a time, and I reliably get a full day of screen on time with my maps displayed and some music or KZfaq playing in the background, and I reliably still get through the day. Genuinely great battery life, even for very heavy use cases

120 Hz refresh rate is definitely noticeable if you're coming from 60 Hz. I recently bought a 165 Hz PC monitor. Previously I used a 75 Hz monitor for the past 12 years. And I can tell immediately by just moving some window around. The movement is much smoother. Even the mouse cursor looks smoother on the 165 Hz monitor

Next up, “Apples hires Marques and his team to do their cinematics”

Thanks for the shoutout Marques 😇 big fan!! My jaw dropped when you mentioned my name.

I went from iPhone 7 Plus to 13 pro. 🤯

I just got the 13 pro max yesterday. From switching from a XS Max. It so different. I’m in love with it.

Upgrading from a 6s is like entering a new century.

“I take lots of photos of objects…bc I have no friends I guess.” - I felt that…

Will be buyin this instead of the 14

Just Updgrated from a 7+ to the 13 Pro Max and MANNNNN that battery life is just 🤯 The only thing I kinda miss is 3D Touch

The intro literally could be an actual apple ad it’s sooo good

Well, Marques, I'm an older guy in my 60s and I've always enjoyed your videos, they've always been very informative and helpful. Keep up the good work, Bro.

I upgraded from the iPhone 12, and didn’t expect a huge difference, but wow this phone is superior in every way. The screen and the cameras are the biggest differences obviously and I feel like I have an expensive phone. Very top notch. Couldn’t be happier. I am worried about the storage though but I might finally have to get a hard drive to store photos

I went from an iPhone XR to a iPhone 13 pro max just this pass Monday and man I knew and felt the difference right away , it’s crazy that apples been able to come this far !

Marques, that intro felt like it could have come from Apple directly. The production value & content you put out never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the great work!

I can attest, the new camera system is fantastic. I'm loving the new 3x Tele, the primary photos and videos are insane, and that ultra wide AF and macro is awesome

I am currently using Iphone 13 pro. It's real!!! Battery rocks! 😍

I’m about to upgrade from a 8 plus to a 13 pro I’m so excited

As a 120hz phone user, whenever my phone goes into low power mode and switches down to 60hz it feels like my phone is lagging and stuttering like crazy. So yeah, the difference between 120hz and 60hz is massive.

Came from a X that I got when it released and just upgraded to a 13 Pro and man has it been crazy how long the battery lasts. I find myself being super paranoid about it “dying soon” and then I remember that it’s at 80% and that’ll last hours longer. It’s a huge upgrade and a very welcome one.

It’s been a week upgraded from xsmax to 13maxpro loving the new phone I’m good for the next 5 years!

Watching this on my new 13 Pro! So nice!

I'm literally using an iPhone 8 at the moment and my new iPhone 13 Pro is delivering day after tomorrow! I think my eyes are going to pop out seeing such a nice phone

I just went from the XR to the 13 pro max and the first thing I noticed was how smooth and crisp everything on the screen is. The battery life is also incredible, I have a lot of down time at work so I spend a lot of time on KZfaq. My old XR lasted about 5 to 6 hours before needing a charge. This new pro max can go for 10 hours of continuous use without falling below 50% battery.

5:38 Agreed. I was an android user, when I switch to an iPhone the scrolling gets better (this is an iPhone 11 - no proMotion) and after watching and learning the proMotion feature, It's going to be a way better phone experience. Thanks MKBHD 😊

I've now jumped from a iphone 6s to the 13pro and omg the difference is night and day. I can't believe that I've been deprived for years, I've come into the future now 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

I just realized that my monitor I was using was only set to 60hz when. it was fully capable of doing 144hz. So I have used my 144hz monitor on 60 he for more than 2 years while I thought it was 144

5:26 Can fully confirm. When I first got my iPad Pro I literally could not tell the difference. A week later, every 60 Hz display felt like a mess.

Almost 3 years ago i was watching about the Iphone SE 2nd gen (because it was the most affordable at the time for me) and i was watching these videos because i wanna know what im getting and this guy does the best job and is very knowledgeable of everything and now im back almost 3 years with a upgrade to the 13 pro

I switched from the 8 to the 13 pro max in April of 2022. The reason for this comment? I was doing some Chemistry exercises in a not bright but not dark room. My gymbro messaged me something about our workout and, opening iMessage, I noticed how gorgeous the screen is. Maybe upgrading every year has lost its purpose, but the technology is still evolving and a refresh every few years is a really nice experience.

"Offloading that to your computer via *lightning* at those awful speeds" That's ironic

" I take a plenty of close ups of objects because I have no friends I guess?" Marques being marques 🤣

upgraded from a 10r to the 13 pro max. i definitely noticed the pro motion immediately. definitely a big upgrade

YOU MAKE IPHONE USERS SOUND LIKE THEY LIVE UNDER A ROCK AND DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THE GOOD STUFF IN ANDROID PHONES....... AND I AGREE WITH YOU...

For this review, I’m cranking up the brightness, the volume up, and switching to 4K so I can watch it the way God and Marques intended.

The Verge, MKBHD, Jonathan Morrison… Just everyone has put down some saucy ass intros for the 13 Pro🔥.

Just got a 13 pro today upgrading from a iPhone 11 and yes I can completely notice the difference in the refresh rate and 120hz 🙌🏾

i just upgraded from 7+ to the 13 pro max. i definitely notice the smoothness compared to the old one. i absolutely love it so far!!

Apple we need a Matte Black iPhone Pro! Do it for the culture!

I’m going from iPhone 11 to iPhone 13 pro…… I am blown away by the performance, the display and just so much about this

Can’t wait to upgrade from an XR✨👏🏾👏🏾

I just upgraded from a 7 to a 13 Pro, looking forward to using it. Comes in today. As someone who PC games at 144. I cannot wait to see the 120hz screen.

I got 17hrs screen on with 11% remaining. This was on my 13 pro max. The battery is no joke

This was my first time skipping the previous year’s model. I just got the 13 pro max after having an 11 pro max. I DEFINITELY noticed the display difference and have been loving it. I’m happy to finally be rid of the round sides too. I love the heft of the phone too.

Today's (31 December 2023) I want to say that, last week I just bought a second hand iPhone 13 Pro with 87% battery health and I'm using it right now. Besides the battery (which is still amazing), it still feels like a brand new premium smartphone. It's unreal how this thing is 2 years old since the original owner bought it at its first launch! My old iPhone 8 home button is dead, and the OS upgrade is over, so this is a huge upgrade and I can't believe so many people have the same story as me here on the comment section. Cheers.

I just upgraded from my 11 pro max to a 13 pro, I’m am absolutely in love with this phone. Battery 🔋 is amazing. Screen and cameras are friggin GREAT. Love my 13 pro

I love Sierra blue! They grey/silver look is awesome and when the light hits it just right and makes the blue pop, it’s amazing!

When gaming, going from 144HZ back to 60HZ feels like going down to 2HZ. 120HZ feels a lot closer to 144HZ.

Oh the 120hz is extremely noticeable. It’s simply amazing

Manifesting this phone🌟💫 thank you Universe!

Your B-Roll is on another level, Marques.

I just got done recording in 4k 60fps for 2.5 hours straight and still have 70% battery left 🤯 This phone is nuts.

I could bingewatch MKBHD contents about Apple all day.

Watching on my brand new iPhone 13 pro max!! Updated from the 12 pro max and gave it to my mom!!

Your reviews are objective and honest. Keep it up! One of the best doing it right now.

My grandma got one. She literally only uses it for phone calls. So it’s a total overkill.

Just purchased it today and nothing to complain about

I find it cool that you even mention smaller details like the camera bump being a tiny issue on the duo charger, are there any other niche things like that, that didn't make the cut or weren't worth mentioning? :)

I upgraded from the X and 100% noticed how smooth it felt in comparison with the higher refresh rate etc. the camera is obviously much better and I usually end the day on about 40-60% battery with moderate use of around 5-7 on screen hours

Going from a xr to a 13 pro is crazy jump can’t wait to pick it up tmr

I noticed the 120Hz immediately. I love it. The battery life is amazing also.

Nobody mentioning how the transition from the review of the iPhone to talking about the sponsor of the video was so smooth?

Upgrading today from the XR. Cant wait🎉

The fact that you saved your ad till the end is such a W. Loved the vid thanks for the info!

11:20 Big ups Marques for using centimetres instead of inches! It is appreciated from almost every country outside the USA that uses the metric system.

“I take plenty of closeups of objects because I have no friends” 😂 this breaks my heart

just got my 13 pro and coming from the 7plus i gotta say im impressed by how perfect the size is, the screen is nowhere near small as some people say

Upgraded from an XR, loving it so far

I don't buy apple products, but marques' voice is nice to listen to in the background and keeping up with new tech stuff is fun too

I’ve been using this phone for a good month. And switching from iPhone 7 to an 13 Pro, I see a lot of improvements in terms of battery, speed, and display. I think I immediately noticed the 120 hertz from like just scrolling KZfaq and it feels and looks so much faster than my iPhone 7. The cameras while they are good, they don’t do as well as I thought it would in low light situation. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, and I’ll probably need to look at tutorial for it. But overall, the screen is brighter, audio is louder, display is so much clear. I love watching 4K videos on it, and even with using this phone for like an entire day on and off, I can get up to 100 to 50% in one day. That’s pretty good for an iPhone which tend to not always have the best battery when I’m watching video. But it’s still pretty good. Overall, a huge upgrade than my iPhone 7, if you have an older phone than mine, you’ll definitely notice the changes. Great phone, amazing cameras(can’t wait for ProRes to come), and just a good experience with the iPhone 13 Pro.

About to get this phone soon, really excited!

I finally made the jump from android to apple, and the deciding factor for me was the high refresh. Coming from an s9+, WOW. I LOVE this phone. The battery lasts for AGES. UI definitely took some getting used to and I do miss the notifications bar but overall I’m really happy with my decision

I really appreciate your content and work. Great flow, no BS, relevant talking-points to the average user. If I'm in the market to buy any tech items, you're the first place I go to see a thorough review.

I upgraded from an 8plus to the 13 Pro, and the prores is just amazing! The screen, battery life and the cameras! So so happy I waited for this year to upgrade.

MKBHD expecting atleast 90hz in iPhone 14s and here in 2023, we are still stuck at 60 hertz on iPhone 15 😮‍💨

I got the 13promax, 1st time to own an iphone. The experience is different, the battery is beast

Got the pro max coming the 15th. Haven’t upgraded in 5 years so I’m hype

Imagine, Apple, the 2 trillion dollar company is reaching MKBHD and tell him that they'll fix the camera issue. Proud of you man, I remember when his videos had couple hundred views.
