it was pretty good but for me personally it was 12

@@icyy1024battery too bad at 12

The only 2 iPhones I’ve owned are the 11 and 13!

I have the 11Pro Max and it has been a great phone. I have had storage limitations, but otherwise it is still going strong. It is that camo green which I love. I actually dislike the pastel colors of the 15 very much. I wish they kept this green!

​@@rebeccagrimmer4805you mean midnight green

Agreed! And the style - just talking to the camera. While Im sure he has notes somewhere, he’s not reading a script from a teleprompter.

@@unCoopervised And on top of all of this he’s honest. It feels more like you’re having a conversation with a real actual person as opposed to a: “best version” of someone who’s acting the “part” of themselves instead of just simply being their true selves. (freaking refreshing tbh) Was with him since the: “attic days” and while I don’t always watch or get a chance to watch every single video of his, he’ll always be the reason I got into “tech” (along with 2001 A Space Odyssey lol)

I’d say for a big tech KZfaqr, he’s very down to earth. Like the message he’s sending, instead of others who are promoting the idea of upgrading your phone even if you don’t have to

Honest review guy

i love you too

Difficult to get a good shade of red on frosted glass.

Not the glass that’s hard it’s the titanium and steel

ngl red looks ugly on phones

apple probably hate to pay them charity moneys

It’s because more money will go to charity with their products red line

We just happen to be sharing the same phones for the same amount of time and upgraded to 13 😆😆

I literally just upgraded to an iPhone 13 from an iPhone XR today lol! I was also thinking about getting a 13 Mini but I thought the same thing you thought about the bezels and ended up getting the 13. Are we the same person? 😂

literally sitting here watching this with my XR that is gradually turning into a brick, so thank you for this

@@skinkwrap I loved my XR but it was a little too wide and the lightning port wouldn’t charge so I had to rely on wireless charging.

Another XR user and just waiting to pull the trigger on the 13. Lol

I got the iphone SE3 and I think it was the best option for saving money and getting a nice iphone

@@tbone8358how? SE model has been a complete rip off for like 3 years now. Idk why they even make let alone who pays for it. Just pay the extra 80 dollars for a 14.

I pre-ordered the plus and blue and can't to get it friday!!!

@@tbone8358they reason I don’t like se phones is because the battery and small screen but u do u

@@tbone8358it’s a good phone but it’s not worth the $429 asking price

A Plus sized version of the SE would be the cherry on top

@@TheStopwatchGod I always wondered why Apple didn’t do this. The 8+ sold well, and I’ve heard of a lot of people holding onto their 8+ since it’s the last large phone with a home button

@@TheStopwatchGodplus sized version of SE is regular iPhone

@@omokok1877some people like the home button probably old heads tho

A plus size SE would cannibalize sales of their newest models. To keep things simple and to manage their supply chain better, they don’t want too many “low end” in their lineup. You’re essentially asking Apple to go back to 2017 and just continue the iPhone 7/8 form factor with newer chips. That’s just not going to happen.

The 13 is a good phone, I agree. :-)

cam , ram , less bezzels , better zoom 2x , better chip ,,, there is a lot more than 13 in15 and still from 13 or 14 or 15 , 15 is definitely a worthy purchase than those 13 ,14 . agree or not there are a lot more diff than this and still this has a lot more advantage compared to 13.

​@@theguy20021i think that is very stupid, the changes betwen the procesor, the ram and camera are minimal, and obiusly that if you want zoom you dont gona go for an iPhone.....

the 15 feels so much better imo

@@s2unna557How so?

I would love a smaller phone if I didn’t consume all my media on my phone lol. The 13 is just ever so slightly too big in some situations

Too bad the mini was a failure and Apple discontinued the mini series

​@@Gmcenvoy2002it was the best iphone ever made just needed USB c

Curious what it is about USB-C that is important enough to switch for? It’s roughly 19% faster data transfer speeds and that’s about it.

@@SneakyCalebthe sales says otherwise

yesss but they stopped manufacturing mini even before they discontinued it :(

Because the 13 mini wasnt selling well

IPhone 13 sales was better than IPhone 13 mini

My niece upgraded from a 7 plus to a 12 and she’s loving it .

Yeah, I don’t see why pro and pro max reviewers are complaining about upgrades to a nonpro when nonpro users don’t care

The 11 to me is not a worthwhile upgrade, mainly because the 12 adds 5G into the mix. I was considering a cheap 12 Pro Max as an upgrade from my 8 Plus (that I recently dropped and cracked the screen), until I found out they don’t have ProMotion display. Apple really needs to make their standard iPhone at least 90Hz, with the 120Hz saved for the Pro. It’s one of the main things that makes tech feel fast and premium, and even some budget Androids have moved up from 60Hz now.

@@jernaugurgeh451 I agree. The 5G and OLED display make a huge difference. Aw that’s a shame about your 8 plus. If you didn’t, be sure you have a case and screen protector on. They really can save you. I heard the iPhone 16 lineup may bring promotion to every iPhone 16. But not official yet

@@leelanzini I’ve always used magnetic book style cases, so never bothered with a screen protector, and never got a scratch on it in 4 years. But the folding front cover of the one I am using got really worn and ratty, so I cut it off leaving just the protective plastic back cover. The crack I’ve got is big but really clean and I put a tempered glass screen protector on to make sure it doesn’t get worse, and it still works fine. I love my 8 Plus, and never understood the push towards getting rid of bezels, adding notches, and having rounded corners that eat into your screen display. Having a rectangle phone screen that is a standard 1920x1080 resolution is just perfect to me. And a physical Home button and bezels I can grip when i turn the phone sideways? **chefs kiss**

Not as stupid as the 13 to 14. The 15 actually offers some decent differences. 48mp Usbc Dynamic island. Way more than you get with a 14 coming from a 13

How about the 13 pro, they can easily make an SE pro to replace the 16 plus next year

Or I can trade my phone in for the 15.

hi! may I know what you got? I am still in debate

Oof that’s interesting.

Samesies

Doing that for my daughter’s birthday. Upgrading her X to 13 and upgrading my X Max to 15 Pro Max.

It’s odd people say this yet trash the 14 line. The 14 series was just a slightly better version of the 13 in every category. It sounds an awfully lot like people just parrot what they’ve heard.

@@ILoveGrilledCheeseOne word: Battery.

@@ILoveGrilledCheesedo you not know how generational comparisons are? the 14 wasnt enough from the 13 like how the 15 is now from the 14

The iPhone 11 generation was also very good as well. The budget option was decently priced and is a good phone overall. The pros were also excellent. All of them had great cameras. And all stood the test of time as well, even with the latest IOS they still feel fairly snappy

I just upgraded to the 15 from my 11

15 is worth the extra 200 for future proofing

Sell it and get a 2nd hand 13 mini, same thing but better battery

Im thinking of getting a refurbished i phone 13 off of amazon as well, what was the name of your vendor and how long did the phone take to get to you?

Home button. I like to press stuff.

home button is iconic but dynamic island is just 🤌

Try back market

@@totallynot_ruenew iPhones are better

@@bigredii2253 it’s the same thing and its good for the environment plus it has a warrenty

Do the 14 at minimum.

Saw a video comparrison of battery lifes of a bunch of apple phones. The regular 13 held out pretty well, I think it had a little over 7 hours of battery life compared to the 15 pro which has the longest battery life, I think it was only about an hour longer. BTW these numbers come from having the phone on for the entire time so 7-8 hours really will last the entire day. Both phones have very good battery lives but the 15's have a slight margin compared to the 13's. Still would choose the 13 IMO.

Same here ive never owned an iphone, thinkin about buying 13

I'm not considering buying for a while yet, but I highly doubt apple will retroactively add USB-C to any older iPhone. I imagine they would just stop selling that variant in any place that enforces it that hard since they now have a product with USB-C.

The question was if they want to sell them new ad a reduced price

iirc I think the EU legislation is only for new devices, so they might not necessarily have to change the older designs

i have the same question,what did you get in the end?

I have a 13 too as my back up phone ( and landline) my other phone is a Google Pixel Pro line . I like my 13- beautiful display, decent cameras and video capabilities, I find the 60hz display buttery smooth. I love its size, great battery life , does everything I need it to do and it does everything so well

I have a 14 pro, I ordered a 13 mini for my son and I’m jealous! I want a mini! I’m ordering a mini, just to have it. Keep the 12 mini, you won’t see these phones anymore In the future I’m guessing. I’m not saying don’t upgrade just don’t sell it just keep it.

You must have cute little hands lmao

To whom? You think each and every iPhone buyer is a semi-pro photographer or a content creator? Nana. Most users still do Tik-Tok and FB with their iPhone with some small videos to upload. And 0,006% place some calls (that's what you must believe).

True, that extra zoom is the main selling point for me

@@racineurr.8924 okay well clearly you’d be fine with an iPhone 6s. Notice I also said biggest selling point to me… not for everyone lol

@@joshuepico75why extra zoom makes it a 120mm lens thus your getting a cropped photo for everyday pics

the extra zoom is literally the only thing that might make me prefer the 15. All the other things are either the same on both or something I don't care about at all, like the dynamic island. I just think that in the main wide camera people and objects look so tiny, I think 2x photos look so much better

Yes,definitely.

if you have the disposable cash to then sure why not

Don’t go into debt just to have a new phone

No

only if you can afford it and REALLY want all the upgrades that you’ll get from your base 13

What did you choose

@@5ucls for the money, battery, value if I upgrade it’ll be the regular 15.

😑

I’d get the plus it’s amazing this year & will be for years to come with all the new upgrades

@@katinasoutherland7693 do you think the battery life will be better than the 15 pro max

@@jacobschwartz6721it will be better

​@@jacobschwartz6721probably because it does not have 120hz

The mini is just too small for the optical zoom. They might be able to fit 2X but it’s just the size that makes it hard.

🎉

YES. Going from the 8 to the 11 would be good so the 12 is better. I’d just check your battery health, and if it is in the 80s, it could be worth getting a new battery to make the phone feel new. If it drops below 80, the phone will recommend that itself.

Yeah that’s a good upgrade for her, she’ll appreciate the bigger screen, OLED display, better cameras & 5G

Cause u want to flex?

if your battery health isn’t good then just replace the battery you don’t need a whole new phone

Same

Yeah its nice and all but the pricing is what making it which to decide on

I don't think they do. I think they make them purposefully look a bit tacky to push people to the pro lines.

@@stereoheartsrnb no lol they no the base models are the most profitable

Agreed with most of this but the frosted glass is harder to grip, so phone feels a bit more slippery

@@ballooneyjr4294 I do miss my Apple Watch a lot.

​@ballooneyjr4294 never got the point of a smart watch but I agree the apple watch is miles better than the samsung I don't like ecosystem it makes you trapped to a brand I just get phones with no exsesories no ear buds no watches if I do get a laptop it would be windows

It’s already like that now with android vs iOS. In a few years all phones will be usbc tho

Most hospitals in us have both for free at charging stations. Just have to look for one or ask. Atleast the children’s hospital in Akron Ohio does. Not exactly a big city hospital. It’s is a big hospital tho. But they have a lot of charging stations through the place 😊
