This phone is the best so far. Traded my Galaxy S21 in for an iPhone 13 and honestly, that was the best trade-in value I ever got. I could listen in some music, watching entertainments (while also on 5G) like YouTube, Netflix, Paramount+, & Disney+, I could also reach out to my family, friends, even my grands on my every day’s life, I play games like mobile games & cloud gaming (e.g. XCloud, PlayStation, Stadia, Luna, & Apple Arcade, also the camera is really good, capturing the Grand Canyon at Arizona with the amazing Ultra-Wide and even taking videos at 4K 60FPS HDR, plus so many more. I would rather say that the iPhone 13 is one my favorite beast phone of all times.

LOVE this phone! Perfect size (this is NOT the pro max) and although it doesn't have the better camera, honestly the photos are still amazing on this phone. Also love the red color. Gives the phone a nice pop. Plus side is Best Buy staff helped me set it up and port stuff over. Great overall phone buying experience.

The iPhone 13 is working pretty good, long battery life. I don't want to use my face to unclock the phone. It would be nice to have finger print and it is annoying every time to enter pass code.

Overall I am happy with my iPhone 13. I came from the an iPhone 7 so this was a major upgrade. The screen i larger than what I'm used to, face is quicker than touch ID if I'm not wearing a mask, my photos are better, battery lasts substantially longer, the phone is noticeably quicker, and I get 5G speeds when I'm not on wifi. The associate was extremely helpful and helped me activate my new phone/restore all my info from my backup.
My only complaint is that many of my apps keep crashing whenever I use them for some strange reason. This happens so much more often on my new phone than my old iPhone 7. I couldnt figure out why this was happening and even restarted my phone multiple times. The hardware is better so I think it was an issue with iOS itself. I ended up wiping my phone and redownloading everything manually instead of using a backup. This solved the issue and I haven't had apps randomly close/crash on me again.

Traded in a 64GB XR for this pink iPhone 13 128GB. The min storage of 128 GB is the bare adequate minimum for Apple, and it works well in combination with iCloud subscription (what is Apple's intent no doubt :) ). The screen is finally nice, the photo app, filters and sensors are top notch - what is exactly the most used functionality in a phone. Size and shape are very useful, in a trendy TPU plastic the edges don't feel sharp, and the phone remains secured in the case. Battery seems to last a while. This was a purchase for a teenage girl, and it seems a well suited product for that purpose - great cameras, camera app, light body, durable, good screen and lasting battery, 128GB standard storage (even with iCloud backup photos and videos take immediate space until they get synchronized). Apps data also takes a lot of space. Normal daily girls' install takes around 30-35GB storage, you need 10-ish more for major OS updates, so ANY Apple product with 64GB is practically obsolete even with cloud services.
She doesn't miss the telephoto, teenage girls are not into that type of photography. However, the new photo styles are on the spot right. I myself have a Pro :), but that is too heavy

Most Notable changes from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13:
-Thicker/Heavier: 174g, previously 164g
-A15 Chip: previously A14 Chip
-Battery: 3240 mAh, previously 2815 mAh
-Brightness: 800 nits, previously 625 nits
-Storage: 128/256/512GB, previously 64/128/256GB
-Cameras: New/bigger sensors allow for more light capture/detail, New Photographic Styles and Cinematic Video effects.
The camera notch at the top is also noticeably smaller on the iPhone 13.
Opinions so far:
This iPhone 13 seems very similar to the iPhone 12. After using it for a few days, I can't say that there is anything dramatically different about this version compared to the iPhone 12. It feels slightly heavier, the screen is a bit brighter, the cameras seem to do a slightly better job in low light situations (sometimes), and it can shoot Cinematic Video, although I've had mixed results with that feature. The new chip should be faster, and the bigger battery should last slightly longer; but I haven't really noticed much of a difference in either of those categories with my daily use so far.
I can't really see a compelling reason to upgrade from the iPhone 12 at the moment. If you are looking for a more noticeable upgrade, you might want to check out the Pro versions, as the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max have 120 Hz refresh rate screens that really stand out to me; and combined with the better cameras and extra GPU in the Pros, those might be worth the extra cost to you.

I recently purchased the iPhone 13 and it has blown me away! The design is sleek, the performance is lightning-fast, and the camera system is phenomenal. The battery life is impressive, lasting me the whole day.
The iPhone 13 is a game-changer. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line smartphone, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

I always went for the pros or the max phones but this time around I wanted to get something handy and decent. Love the size of this phone and performance is on par with what I expected. Coming from the 12 pro max, I do miss the 3rd camera but the picture quality in general is way better now. Photographic styles are amazing

The iPhone 13's build quality remains as impressive as the day I unboxed it. Apple's commitment to premium materials and craftsmanship is evident, and the device feels sturdy and well-built. The sleek design, with its Ceramic Shield front cover and aerospace-grade aluminum or stainless steel frame, not only exudes elegance but also offers durability that has proven itself over the years. iPhone 13 continues to deliver snappy and responsive performance.

I have the 13 and my wife has the pro max. Everything about the 13 is great, just when you compare the screens it is like night and day.
The iPhone 13 has amazing performance and amazing battery life. I barely charge the phone once every 2 days. It is super speedy and the camera is great. I realize it lacks the optical zoom camera of the pro & pro max phones, but I rarely ever zoom for pictures, so I'm alright. Like the iPhone 13 Pro max, the 13 has a fairly significant camera bump which ALSO does not work with camera protectors - it messes up the auto-focus functionality. Just make sure to get a big enough case to protect the cameras.
The price point for this phone is very good. I think I prefer it over the pro series. But just the screen, man, once you see the pro (at home of course) its hard to consider anything less. The 13 is still a great phone if the price is what you are looking for.

Solid upgrade from iPhone 11

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 13 from my 2 year old iPhone 11. While there was nothing wrong with my iPhone 11 (I ended up giving it to a family member to replace their old 1st gen iPhone SE) I really wanted to take advantage of the $100 sale on the iPhone 13 from T-Mobile. This is my first iPhone with 5G and an OLED display and it has not disappointed me yet. It's also slightly lighter than my iPhone 11 and feel slightly narrower (The flat sides defiantly help the phone feel more "svelte" in the hand).
I had considered getting the 13 Mini, but I really couldn't see myself switching from the 11 which has a 6.1 inch display (just like the 13), to the 13 Mini, which has a 5.4 inch display and the same battery life as the 11 (the 13 gets around 2 hours more battery life than both the 11 and 13 Mini). If you're considering an iPhone and don't need the "pro" series then the iPhone 13 is the way to go!
