    Although iPhone13 captures brilliant photos, I don’t care how the cameras got improved on the new iPhones because the latest iPhones lack Touch ID. I am still satisfied with my iPhone 8 since it has the fundamental feature in the pandemic era.

    Unfortunate no 4k60 fps cinematic

    Cinematic mode is just crap and looks like forcefully blurring by some third party app. I will go with 12 pro max. First of all for it’s battery and second reason is, almost all images i observed here are almost very similar except that one taken at ngt time. And i sleep at ngt. So don’t need that night mode so damn clarity haha lol. 12 pro max for now. And will see if 14 or 15 can do something so great.
    For just camera, I don’t think 13 would be a great good option at this high price.

    Kind of nice that you can focus so close to the subject with the 13 Pro. I have to keep my 12 Pro Max really far from a subject. I was surprised how far back I had to be to take pictures of my driver’s license or other things I need to scan. Probably the furtherest of any phone I’ve had.

    My 1TB 13 Pro will arrive in early November, and I’m super excited to take it on our cruise on the Allure Of The Seas over Christmas. I have had my 256GB iPhone X for 4 years now, and while it is still good, the 13 Pro (in fashionable Sierra Blue!) will be a HUGE upgrade for me. I’m really looking forward to getting lots of good shots on the cruise!

    I considered the 13 Pro Max too, but it’s just too big for me. My wife has an iPhone XR Plus (or whatever the BIG one is called), and I just find it too big to deal with. I love the size of my iPhone X, and the 13 Pro is around that same comfortable and easily-pocketable size.
