Will you trade your 12 for the 13?

[FFR]

I disagree. I feel like the 120 refresh rate, bigger battery and newer chip are all worth upgrading.

I’m not sure what some people were expecting quite honestly.

Form what I have read 120 hz will be very different on the iPhone 13 pro compared to android.

Apparently 120hz on android phones with an ltpo panel are quite janky and stutters when the panel moves between refresh rates, and the animations on Samsung ui are limited to only 60hz. With the iPhone 13 pro apple has already optimized iOS 15 for the variable refresh.

RE: 120 Hz...

I have a 2018 iPad Pro (11") that has a 120Hz panel. I can tell you this, even today with iPadOS15 it is very smooth, much smoother than my 12 Pro Max and rivals my 120Hz Android phones! 120Hz on iPhone 13 should be spectacularly smooth!

I used a S21 Ultra for a few months and didn’t experience any jankyness or struttering. It was actually a very nice screen. I always come back to iOS for iMessage and so I can see where my older daughters are at all times.

Apparently all LPTO panels on android phones offer the jankyness/stuttering when the panel shifts through its variable refresh rates. This is due to Samsung using a different LTPO backplane on the Oled panel instead of paying apple for the one they developed.

The note 20 ultra is not affected due to its Hop panel that Samsung was using before moving on to a different version of LTPO for the s21 ultra and the z fold 3, but it only offered 120hz @1080p.

I wouldn’t call the display nice, it can’t even out put dolby vision, which is shocking for its price as a 2021 flagship. Hope you didn’t lose much offloading it, second had prices tanked now that s21 ultra officially flopped.

What bumper are you using? Ive been looking for a good one for the 12 pro max that works well with the pacific blue color.

I actually owned the phone and used it daily. The screen is better than my iPhone 12 Pro Max which I also own and use daily.

You seem overly critical of anything not Apple, like you have to justify your decisions.

So far haven't seen anything worth trading up from the 12 pro max.

Im not the one trying to compare a 2021 oled panel with a 2020 model , wait for the iPhone 13 pro.

Not really. I wouldn’t call bringing up sales figures or components as being critical, I don’t personally control the market .

The s21 series isn’t doing very well and Samsung is auditing its smartphone business because of it. I’m pretty sure I’m not responsible for that either .

Your post completely proves my point.

After using the Z Fold 3 for a while I will say this much, when (Apple) finally does release a folding phone it WILL be THE one to own. Apple may need to expand their trade in program to make it within reach of a larger customer base as it won't be cheap. I never wanted a folder, thought it was a gimmick and attention getter. But actually as I depend more and more on a mobile device and multi task on the go, it's invaluable to me! Apple has niche market offerings (8TB Macbook Pros hehe) and this is no exception. It's not for everyone mind you. They could also do their version of the Flip, they could call it the flipbook!

I do plan on preordering a 1TB 13 Pro Max tomorrow AM because, well 1TB! And it will be the most expensive iPhone to date costing the same as my 512GB Fold 3 which was $300 off thanks to BB!

My biggest gripe about the 13 (get ready!) is the lack of a matte black color. The phantom black Samsung has is amazing. I wish the camera bump was jet black too. Maybe next year the 14 will be closer with near flush design. It's like being a kid again when you didn't get everything you wanted for Christmas and your parents reply was "Well there's always next year"

I don't see enough changes in the 13 Pro Max to make me want to upgrade my 12 Pro Max that's working just fine. I always like the BEST camera, but I really am doing fine with the 12 ProMax camera now. I can't justify the upgrade if you can even really call it much of an upgrade. May upgrade my Apple Watch 6 to the 7 though. On the fence about that one.

I see far more of an upgrade between the iPhone 12 and 13 than the Apple Watch series 6 and 7, personally.

I am upgrading my 11 Pro Max to a 13 Pro Max but keeping my Series 4 Apple Watch that works perfectly. But then I do a ton of videos and photos for work, so the camera capabilities of the phone are important to me. the watch just needs to tell the time and convey important messages. Hell, I spend half my time wearing one of my other 'real' watches anyway.

Gave the wife my 12 mini and ordered a 13 mini for myself.

 

[pantlesspenguin]

No upgrades for phone or watch here. I'm holding out for the next iPad Air and Airpods (well, hoping for an upgrade for the regular Airpod design, not the pros).

I never said the watch had "much of an upgrade" between the 6 and the 7, I just said I may do the upgrade, mostly because I may want it.

And I never said you did.

I’m patiently waiting for the new Apple iphone 15 Pro Max.

I think getting vaccinated is a good thing IF it’s your choice and not mandated by some corrupt politician or politicians.

Is the protection any different between the two ways to be vaccinated. Isn't protection more important.

Even after seeing the Sierra Blue Pro Max, I’m still going to hold onto my Pro Max until next year.

 

[got berry]

Traded 11 Pro Max for 12 Pro because I wanted something easier to use one handed, but the 12 Pro still isn't a one handed device for me. Want to go back to a Max but will see if it is worth it after the keynote.

Walked into the AT&T store for one thing and walked out with a 13PM 256GB in Sierra Blue. My wife took the 12P and daughter took her 11P. Couldn't be happier. Glad to be back to a max size phone. The 13PM is snappy, bright and fun to use. Haven't had much chance to test out the camera but hope to do so this weekend.
