Best Buy has a better deal than Apple right off the bat. I purchased the Sierra Blue version of iPhone 13 Pro Max and didn’t disappoint. The long battery life, better dispose screen and camera Improvement are worthy to me and make a big difference coming from older generation iPhone.

This iphone 13 is a phenomenal replacement to my iPhone-X. The larger battery is great for a content hog like me. IOS 15 is another great addition to iphone 13. Granted, you can customize your life around the software and use the data to measure your progress or keep up with your goals. Smart phone are now our mirror to world (social media), wing person for dating, personal assistant, gym buddy, weather person, stock broker, translator, researcher, wallet, credit card and more. At whatever, price point you choose to get into the digital market. Apple is the one I’d choose first. If at any point you don’t understand your device, there is a number of support communities to get you on track. It’s generally worry free device plus you can get automatic updates so you don’t have to remember to check if you have the latest protection. Thanks best by for the birthday discount, y’all came through right on time.

I own an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I absolutely love it. It’s held up for a year. Exceptional balance of quickness, battery life, and camera quality Is it worth upgrading to the iPhone 15Pro Max?

Great offer presented by Bestbuy, I was able to trade-in my wife's old iPhone 11 pro for this and got a pretty decent discount.
The phone itself is almost perfect, with few concerns. My wife wanted a large phone but this is still on the bit-too-large side. Size concerns aside, the screen is gorgeous, the performance buttery smooth, clear and loud sound from the speakers and overall a really luxurious experience as we've come to expect with Apple products.
The camera is the best part, pictures are clear is sunlight as well as low light. And the video recording is smooth with tons of features.
Battery life is good too, but there are other phones with longer battery life. Still it is pretty good, almost an entire day with heavy use of apps and all services like internet, wifi etc.
There was a slight hassle around the backup and restore process but that is really an Apple thing, nothing to do with Bestbuy.
Overall a great buy.

Bright screen, fast processor, and amazing battery life. The phone is a little heavier than previous iPhones, but a small price to pay for the increased battery life.

The phone feels very heavy and is a fingerprint magnet. The 120hz display doesn’t work everywhere and feels inconsistent compared to the Galaxy S21 ultra. The selfie camera is lacking in resolution. When using other third party video calls it looks over exposed. The notch still big. And still has the lightning port instead of the usb c. Transferring files is hassle, unable to read an ssd or any form of portable storage device. Does not support dragging and dropping files on windows or mac os.

Great upgrade option. I previously had the 12 Pro Max, and obviously it was a great phone and almost doubted myself to upgrade, because at first glance, its not a major difference in terms of overall specs, but boy I was WRONG! The new A15 chip in it makes a massive difference in processing, the upgraded refresh rate also shows a big difference, the camera is undoubtably better, and the battery life is a massive difference as well.

I traded up from my iPhone 6s and I'm quite happy with my new phone. I went for the iPhone Pro Max 13, which has a very large screen area. The downsides are few, but may be significant for some people. I can really tell the difference, weight-wise, which is not only due to the larger size (which may be a bit much for some), but also the fact that the case is made of stainless steel, as opposed to aluminum. While I really like the wireless charging function, (you will need to buy your own charging pad, as Apple only includes a USB C cable), I was under the impression that you could use a MagSafe charger, as well. I have an Apple Watch, which came with a MagSafe Charger, but it neither snaps to it, nor does it charge, so I must be doing something wrong. Perhaps it's because I have a Spigen case (which is a MagSafe case), so I just don't get it.

This is a biased review since I’ve loved the iPhone since the iPhone 3GS. I used to have Samsung phone, as well as Motorolas, but I’ve stopped looking at other brands since switching. Camera quality is awesome and the new cinematic camera feature is pretty cool. The battery life is phenomenal, but I’m sure it’s because it’s a new phone. I can listen to iHeart radio all day at work and still have 50% battery left. If you want an upgrade and don’t have the 11 or 12, I’d suggest upgrading to the 13.

Traded in my iPhone 11 and Best Buy offered a great trade-in price. This is my first iPhone pro and I love the OLED display. The display offers crisp resolution. The 120hz refresh rate is also really nice, you do notice it when you scroll or watching movies. The battery life is great lately I average about 40-45% battery usage per day with an average of 3.5 hrs screen on time and 1.5 hrs screen off time. The size is not that bad, I wear a tight medium sized nitrile gloves. I put a low profile case on it and it fits in my pocket just fine even with a pocket knife clipped in the same pocket.

I had difficulty finding this phone in other stores, good thing BestBuy had one in stock! Love my new Iphone 13 pro max! My last phone was XSmax so theres a huge difference in camera, battery and screen. Watch 4k videos, play hi quality games and talk on the phone all you want with the huge battery life and processor performance!

5G UC on T-Mobile is super fast. I’m getting 400+ mbs and 40 mps upload. Phone is faster than 11 Pro Max. New camera is definitely an upgrade.

Compared to my XS Max, the audio quality of this iPhone 13 Pro Max is a huge improvement; the 120 HZ screen is “amazingly gorgeous” and the night photography is stunning. I love it when Apple gives me unexpected surprises! And, yeah, those deeply pleasing surprises made me forget that I just dropped a bunch of change on it!

Coming back to an iPhone from Android. Yes, it is an expensive phone, but it is also a great phone.
I am most impressed with the cameras, especially low light exposures. I took a picture I was sure would be subpar. Instead, the exposure approached DLSR performance with vivid detail and tone.
All-in-all, if you have not upgraded in several years, this is a worthy upgrade.
