Apple - iPhone 13 Pro Max 5G 256GB - Silver (AT&T)

When i thought Apple cant top the previous model.. Well wrong they always out do themselves over and over . From design to how it operates not to mention that camera. No need for expensive equipment and professional photographer. With the iphone anything is possible. And everything else is now opportunity.

Best phone so far. I take a lot of videos & pictures due to my job (barber). Pictures quality is insane. My favorite mode is cinematic videos.

The phone has a very fast processor and if it could split screens it would easily be able to control many apps at once

Great customer service and I loved the phone very easy and convenient to use. And lastly, very luxurious.

After 3 ATT stores, I finally found it at Best Buy. I love the color and the phone.

What I liked : Fit and finish of the iPhone 13 Pro Max has to be the best on the market as of March 2022. It's not light, and it just feels perfect in my hand. I like the flat edges of this phone, and honestly it just looks really nice compared to some of the iPhones of yore and was enough to convince me to dump my usual choice of going with a Galaxy in favor of something different than the usual. Plus Sierra Blue is really pretty and it reminds me of the Zephyr Blue Metallic paint on the 03-05 Toyota Celica. Kinda wish it came in Midnight Green, that color was so cool. Everything about this phone feels function forward on the outside. The A15 is a really snappy mobile processor, for everything that I do it doesn't even seem to stress the thing, much less clog the ram up be it 6gb or 8gb depending on what source you ask. For most of us, myself included, it'll take age to slow down this iPhone. The display is nice, 120hz so playing a few mobile games look great on this as well as watching a youtube video or two. Also the battery life on this phone is insane, I am on day two of not having it on the charger and it's hit around 36% and I use this phone for some critical functions of my job (calls, task management, ect) so there has been a consistent load on it outside of when I sleep. AirPlay is awesome by the way, hands down one of my favorite features is being able to quickly and seamlessly slip between my car's stereo and a pair of head phones. Also the speaker quality is pretty dang nice too! The camera might be the next best thing next to the design for the 13 Pro Max. Low light looks pretty good when I take pictures or use it for videos. There are neat short cuts like tap back which I use to turn on the flashlight on the phone, it's not the brightest thing but it does a good enough job. The screen responds nicely and taking videos of my dogs running in slow mo has never been so entertaining, plus the camera taking a mix of photo and video has earned some giggles too. What I hated : So the first thing I am going to get out of the way is that I came from a Galaxy S10+, everyone that I have talked about iOS to has claimed that it is either a different beast altogether (Not really) and that it is more functional than Android by far (I wouldn't agree or disagree with this). Organization is NOT something I would say iOS does well, with Android you have the App drawer, with iOS I have made different folders and prayed that my goldfish like memory wouldn't end with me trying to find one of the many apps I use. Stacks/Widgets aren't bad, but I feel like Android does this better as well. This isn't exactly something I would call bad, but it was enough for me to second guess this phone after a couple of days because my organization of all the apps I use was driving me nuts. For a company that focuses on the idea of things "Just working" I think Apple needs to take a look outside and make some minor tweaks to perfect iOS. I also kind of miss my custom roms for Android as well but anyone with two functioning brain cells knows why Apple doesn't allow that sort of thing. Also 3rd party apps don't always work even if you approve them and for crying out loud allow us to emulate or VM older versions of iOS for older apps that can be found on the App Store! I was looking forward to trying Doom II RPG on this phone but iOS 15 isn't compatible and I am too lazy to find a work around at this time. I really like the way this phone feels in my hand though, and if I had to buy another phone again (please no) I'd stick with the 13 Pro Max cause I like it THAT much.

10/10 love this phone. Fab cameras. Fab size. All around a stellar phone. Beautiful colour! Also the battery life is great. Have had this phone for 2 years and it’s never failed me like my previous iPhones have after this long.

Honest Opinion: The phone of compromises Apple dropped the ball on the camera. Try taking lowlight photos especially with a person in them, the “smart HDR” over processes and blurs the subjects skin. My older iPhones never had this problem. The processing cannot be removed from the photos either. It oversharpens and over saturates often. It made the Disney castle look like a 3D rendering. I would not complain if this was a $500 phone, but it is $1300 after tax for the Pro Max 256GB. YouTube tech reviewers are all paid, i didn’t see one, point out the flaws in the camera. Not even mentioning the lens flare it puts on random photos. Apple added this massive camera bump for it to take mediocre photos? The plus is the battery life as we all know, it has stamina for days. The compromise is the weight. Both Pro’s are ridiculously overweight, they should’ve made the phones out of aluminum to save weight and kept the bigger battery. I’m sure this was the plan and will be another reason to “upgrade” to the lighter iPhone 14. Display quality is the best I’ve seen on a phone and does not give the PWM headache like the 12 series OLED did. Speaker quality is excellent, call quality is excellent, signal is decent, AT&T is mediocre. 5G is still a gimmick on AT&T. Design is great but not ergonomic. It cuts into your palm like a cold brick. After 15 years of iPhones, you would think they would go all out and make just one with no compromises, nope. Instead they hook you along every year, upgrading in a few key areas while purposely downgrading other areas as a part of planned obsolescence.
