That's a huge problem with most TH-cam reviews for almost every product. They review based on a week's use, then bail like you said. It's nice to get follow ups, and it's a win-win as we get a more accurate read as consumers and TH-camrs get more content and views.
@@77dris it’s not just a short amount of time they live with the product, it’s the affiliate link. They want you to buy it. They have a financial incentive for you to buy it. Therefore they have a financial incentive not to tell you the weaknesses. This video is gold.
@@77dris no. There biggest problems is that the majority of these reviewers are apple fanboys and will never call out the iPhone the way they would call a Google pixel
The easiest way to cool down the display is to turn off “True Tone” while outside. Works for me! ( I’m part 107 FAA Drone pilot) no screen fade either.
The problem with the camera is why I returned the iPhone 13 pro max and decided to keep my iPhone 12 pro max. Im glad you pointed it out. Reviewers are not talking about the camera problem. I noticed quickly the problem with the camera.
I have this problem with the camera too and sometimes because of the not soo good camera quality I get , I start to think if my phone is fake or is it me not setting the camera right or what?
@@kelvinbethrand8914 OMG I appreciate this man it's my iphone 13 Pro max camera I don't understand!!!! Sometimes I can't believe the videos and picture quality I get is seriously from my 13 Pro max ? Is so unbelievable 😳 that I can't help but think otherwise if you can help me to go accordingly with the best certain to see if it will make a difference please cos I tried doing the camera settings with some TH-cam videos still yet sometimes good mostimes bad
The agressive dimming of screen while using out in the sun can be a huge issue because that is exactly where you need your max brightness. Come on Apple. You charge so much and bring so much inconvenience.
@@kirkydaturkey then engineer better I mean I can see if they are doing intensive task, but simple stuff. honesly last two years seems quite off with apple ..it may be due to the pandemic
How about prioritising Brightness over throttled performance. If heating/over-heating is the issue then it is a problem on it's own. Imagine a 5nm chip doing simple tasks and overheating. Makes no sense at all.
I live and work outside in Phoenix. When working up in the boom in direct sunlight it'll get hot just sitting in my pocket. No gaming or nothing. Streaming music to Bluetooth headphones. It'll already be dim when I pull it out to make a phone call or shoot a text. Gave it to a family member and got a used LG V60. Never had that issue again.
Another way to get around auto-macro mode - put your phone into 1X portrait mode. If you're close enough to your subject for it to switch to macro mode, you'll also be too close for it to use portrait mode, so it will just take a regular picture, but it will still use the primary lens.
@@alain-danieltankwa8007 I agree that macro should have been a straightforward toggle (and now it is, at least on the most updated iOS beta), but I'm not sure I see it as "why should we have to go through all that" levels of bother. Pushing a "macro mode" button and switching to portrait mode take exactly the same number of steps - one. It's not as if something that should have been a one step process needs to be circumvented with a 17 step workaround. It's just a different, one step process that you can use instead. Your mileage may vary, but for me, that's pretty much a nonissue.
yes! this is what I expect from a tech channel. honest reviews, some bugs and quick fixs. we already knew that iphone(N) is always better than iphone(N-1). so it does not make sense to mention best iphone ever all the time :)
Here's my issue: I started with an Iphone 13 Pro - unable to hold a conversation when using the phone. Thought it was an issue with that particular phone. Replaced with a new iphone 13 - still cannot hold a conversation with other individuals. This includes wifi calling and cellular. The user on the opposite end of the call can hear me fine, but on my end, it is dropping about every 3rd or 4th word. I am not in a 5G area - all settings have been reset, sim card changed out. At a complete loss.
I’m used to keeping my 12 Pro Max on 33% brightness so I don’t sear my retinas, especially first thing in the morning, and that also means I don’t have overheating problems. I only turn it up if I’m outside, and that’s it.
I feel like that Apple needs to work on the software now. Basically everything can be fixed with updates. I believe they will get to it soon (they addressed the apple watch problem with the last patch) but it will prolly take a couple of weeks or months.
@@saharajohnson6481 Nothing wrong with their ram. The iPhone still vastly outperforms flagship android phones that have twice as much ram. iPhones are just super efficient.
@@saharajohnson6481 you need to gain a little knowledge on technology. RAM in this case doesn’t matter with iPhone due to the operating system being so light. Therefore 6GB of Ram is all the phones need to keep apps open and running in the background. Software optimization is key.
Yeah, I have been using the low power mode technique and it helped with temps, minimalized screen dimming and performance in games was pretty similar, but I'd like to see Apple make a good cooling solution for their phones...
I’ve had phones with the always on display. Honestly, meh… When I went back to the iPhone, I didn’t miss it at all. - Just isn’t a big feature to in my opinion. I’m more interested in battery life.
Had it once too with jailbreak. Was really disappointed. There's absolutely no value in it. It's just distracting when it's always on. If I want to see time or notifications just tap it once.
Great video. I got the iPhone 13 and am happy with that one so far. Thinking back, I should have got the Mini that is much more pocket friendly, or the 12 SE that has great colors and is better for budget minded. Bigger and newer is not always better. You don't always have to spend more to get more. This goes for everything.
I'm facing a issue with my 13 pro while uploading photos in insta story or in fb too. The original quality of the picture changes, light changes while uploading it. Why this is happening? I'm literally worried. Is it a software issue?

It's incredible a product that cost that kind of money has so many problems. I have a Samsung s21 ultra and wanted to change to the iPhone pro max but you made me change my mind
if you put any iphone under sunlight for long periods of time it wont only damage the battery but also the phone will become unresponsive and it will struggle to operate, i have personally had this problem a lot of times while driving and using maps while the sunlight hit the phone and i can fully say that you need to keep your iphone away from the sun because once it shows you that "iphone is too hot" message it probably is struggling to stay alive.
My iPhone 7 Plus doesn’t have this issue. I’ve recorded out in the sun at beaches and amusement parks all day long without the issues 13 pro max is having.
This dimming issue is just one of several reasons why you are better off getting the DJI smart controller with a built in screen. No chance of dimming issues, crashing phones, and more.
@@viliambena6767 No, I rather keep my 6s then a crappy 150 USD android phone, I prefer the 500 USD range Android phones as they actually got pretty decent phones, but still, it will never match up to flagships like the iPhone 12/13 Pro Max or S21 Ultra
Somebody famous like a tech person should try reach out to apple and tell them to have a software update that allows you to choose the camera u want to use
Thanks so your honesty reviewing. I will go return the iPhone 13 pro Max tomorrow. I used 11 day,the touch issue and video making issues really made me not in the good mood.
So in other words you overpay for the powerful cores just to turn them off right from the box, because it dims the screen at any power demanding tasks, but you can't because of the touch responsiveness issue. While fighting with the responsiveness you realize that your lenses are as dirty as hell because of your fingerprints when trying to shot a proper macro shot, for some reasons it was too dark and noisy, and that's because the camera decided to select a tele lens with a slow aperture f2.8 (when it was f2.0 in the 11pro). But no problem you have 2 times more time trying to fix all the issues because of the larger battery, nice!
I can't imagine buying this phone for the processing speed, just to find every time you actually need it your screen is dark. This review contains important information that every reviewer should be sharing.
@@troyjones1023 too many TH-camrs are too Android biased and die hard apple fanboys, My take is to avoid American tech TH-camrs review because they're too patriots for my taste
We need more videos like this one. Thank you for pointing out these important to know issues! Even for those of us with older phones, it's nice to know waiting to update to iOS 15 is probably a good plan.
This is exemplary information! The tap issue is frustrating because the device is expensive and top tier. Hopefully, Apple will fix this and other bugs soon.
did all the Problems regarding software updating already resolved for Iphone 13 Pro Max? I'am thinking of buying a new Phone but a little bit hesitant, should I wait for Iphone 14? or Samsung Fold 4?
Thanks for someone finally showing those sides of the iphone. I actually got both phones too and i was surprised that no one spoke about the overhyped camera that actually happened to be worse even than a galaxy s10 plus in a lot of situations. I'm sorry but that's not a 1.6k phone. And no one speaks about that plasticy sounding and feeling display. Maybe it's just me but it really bugs the hell out of me. Also the lower resolution and the fact that it is not actually brighter as claimed is another minus.
It’s not an auto brightness issue. It’s dimming caused by overheating, which cannot be turned off no matter what, only delayed, as mentioned in the video.
Every problem presented in this video is not a problem to the average consumer. It is only a problem for content creators or you have a quick fix for the problem making it a non-issue.
And this is exactly why I haven’t upgraded from my iPhone 7 Plus yet. And yes it is a major pain to play Genshin on this particular device since graphics performance is no longer sufficient compared to the newer ones 😅
Hilarious. I'm in the same boat. I was about to upgrade my iPhone 7. I want a better iPhone camera but after watching this video, I got a headache. I think I'll wait til Version 2.0. I didn't think Apple would release such a buggy iPhone.
Lol I have the 8 and I’m having a problem lately with the touch responsiveness as well as it getting pretty hot when I use gps for a few hrs in sunlight. Was thinking about upgrading and now I hear the brand new ones have the same problems 🥴
Tbh, the 13 pro is going to be a massive upgrade from a 7 plus. Most of these are going to fixed in software. I’ve also personally never had a problem with screen dimming either, the screen is bright enough that I don’t have to crank up the brightness in the first place.
Nah!!! Samsung is no better, because they have issues similar to iPhone too!!! These issues are easy to avoid. I gotta admit these iPhone issues are annoying though.
Your channel contents is much better than many other more popular channels, with so much great and quality contents, thank you for being on TH-cam, hope you guys continue what you are doing..
@@MrJamieFRESH well yeah a case helps but when I pay 1100 dollars for something I like to look at it sometimes and if you even look at the sides wrong they get smudges
so most peak performance issues/dimming/overheating of the "Pros" can be fixed by low power mode? Might as well get the regular iphone 13 since basically its in "auto low power mode" lol
I use to be someone that defended the lighting port until a few days ago when I had to transfer large files and realize it’s time for it to go! Furthermore I say skip USBC and go straight to Thunderbolt 4.0. At this point it makes more since if your including ProRes and Raw
Given that cameras are so much more powerful these days , it wold make sense to go for the fast port , and in any event having one device lightning, and all the rest usbc is just a pain in the ass.
My Main Problems are :// 1. Lightning port ( Very low data transfer speeds and low charging speeds wired mode < MagSafe charging sucks even more due to heating and speeds>) 2. Display dimming while taking photos outdoor & playing graphic-intense gaming like pubg,cod etc and moreover device heats up lot more. (yes low power modes help a little bit in this aspect but we are losing lot more like 120hz etc, by the spending Premium amount to buy a phone and use the phone in low power mode ) this was not a problem with other brands like Oneplus, Samsung etc 3. Lens flare in photos and videos in bright light conditions make photos/ videos not up to the mark 4. auto switching macro mode and missing AOD feature( not a big deal but having makes perfect) 5. huge bezels on sides mostly visible on pro max devices makes phone old generation and of course the smaller notch lengthwise( zero use) but slightly increased width 😯
@@andyH_England yeah agree for your statements as a basic Normal mobile user but for techie/ heavy user the above problems makes big difference. 1. As limited storage we need to transfer files for example if we take 10min 4k 60 clip it consumes more space and downloads etc. Simply apple wants to make more money without switching to usb c With iPads they have to do it because of these issues otherwise it's a big disaster. 2. I have never seen such a display dimming issue in samsung galaxy s series (s21 ultra), note series , OnePlus, asus rog,vivo etc flagship phones Using in the same conditions my new iphone sucks then what's the use of POWERFUL A15 chip with week cooling. It's a flagship phone with premium price tag, we need sustainable performance for longer duration ( not just 10-15min) not just the peak performance. 3. Lens flare is more annoying issues when compared to other flagship phones example: s21 ultra, I am forced to use my older phones to take photos in such conditions instead of new iphone 😑 4. When iphone 14 with iOS 16 but it's a issue right now.buying Phone now thinking future updates can fix this doesn't make any sense in flagship phones especially of apple update, these kind of software features apple keep on hold until next iOS event feature list. Again AOD can be simply be enabled by software but they don't do it because it will be the new feature which will be marked for future phones 5.yeah it's completely personal preference
@@chaitanyakiran yes lens flares on my 12 pro max are very annoying and severe at times , and I’ve thrown away a lot more photos than I would have expected on such an expensive phone . My old galaxy S8+ on a bright sunny days in direct sunlight would on occasion leave a small single orange tennis ball looking flare somewhere in shot , it was a bit weird to see 🙂, but most of the time not enough to throw away the photo , unlike the flares on the 12 pro max. Hopefully apple does something about this.
@@Rationalityislost101 but screen refresh rate is capped to 60hz then what's the use of pro motion advantage which we are paying premium in the compatible game like pubg,etc there are lots of apps that can take advantage of 120hz screen. Low power mode ruins this and using premium phone in low power mode 😅😅😅😅 is such a useless decision making even budget range android phones or even way older iphone like xr are way better for 60hz sustain performance
Bit weird when he say faster/slower aperture. Aperture is a hole that let a light passthrough, so it should be bigger/smaller aperture. Faster/slower are for shutter speed.
Exactly! Larger aperture can cause slower shutter in order to get the same exposure, but the aperture value does not describe its speed 😉 Also, bigger number has its cons but also pros, so it’s not completely a bad thing.
He’s using photography terminology. A fast aperture doesn’t refer to any speed metric, it simply means that it will let in more light. The other thing about aperture is that the f-number is actually a ratio between the focal length of a lens and it’s maximum actual aperture diameter (the light pupil of the lens). A f2.8 aperture on a professional lens could be larger than the whole camera module on an iPhone whereas the iPhone with its f1.4 for example the actual diameter of the aperture hole is in the millimeters range. If we started using the terms larger and smaller we would have to start referring to the aperture in an absolute value, but to say faster or slower indicates that more light can be captured (for the same shutter speed) ie. the “faster” a lens, the quicker your shutter speed can be to capture the same amount of light. And the reverse is also true. Hope this helped
The TH-cam problem isn’t a problem with the phone it’s the software. So nothing is wrong with the phone any more than the others. It’s like complaining that the brand is Apple when all Apple phones are And Always On Display isn’t necessary and not a problem - it’s a design CHOICE
Good video. Can you do a similar for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13? The taller notch intruding into 18:9 content, such as Netflix, looks awful right now and is really distracting for me. I am not aware of any fix so I am returning my iphone 13 Pro for a refund until it is fixed as I like to keep these phones for 3-4 years and this is a deal-breaker for me.
I just got mine and got the heat error while downloading all my info from iCloud. 30 seconds in the freezer fixed it. But for $1,600 this shouldn’t be happening.
@@steviesevieria1868 , buying a Lamborghini may be viewed as being stupid by some, but no-one should hate on others because you choose not to or cannot afford to. That’s dumb!!!! Mind your business and let people live.
Max, if you go into Settings>Accessibility>Motion and Turn on Limit Frame Rate. That will fix the issue with TH-cam and other apps when opening videos. I haven’t reported this to apple, but it looks like a bug with the 120HZ screen.
I’ve had problems with using my keyboard in google chrome. The keyboard constantly flickers and doesn’t register my input sometimes on the first tap. I find myself having to keep typing the same letter a few times for it to register. It’s really annoying and makes chrome unusable
@@steveo601 yea I still enjoy using my phone but I did trade the 13 pro I had back in to apple and got the max. Went back to my 12 pro max until my 13 pro max comes in on the 29th. I still have iOS 14 on my 12 pro max so hopefully by the time my new phone comes apple would have worked the issues with iOS 15 out.
@MaxTech I have a solution for problem #2 in youtube: so you know how it doesn't register your touch inputs on the video right, I find that tapping on the channel circle, and then hitting back on the top left and then clicking the video works REMARKABLY well, all the time
I didn't understand half the stuff you said but I appreciate your candor AND professionalism. By that, I mean for some problem you also provided the fix as well.
I was looking forward to using this phone for recording my TH-cam videos because of the cinematic mode and proRes - since my 2012 Sony NX30 camcorder doesn’t allow me to get that cute blurred background (unless I place it ridiculously far away) and I need to upgrade anyway from my iPhone X. But now I feel discouraged because of the overheating and camera issues 💔 thank you for the video!
@@LouisLuzuka thanks! I do have two led panels and soft boxes, I hope that would be enough for the iPhone 13 Pro Max 😅🙏 the camcorder has been enjoying the panels since I got them
Lol, that blur you like is called bokeh. But smartphones mostly fake it so it’s noticeable unless you use it properly. You’re better off with a camera like the a6000 or newer and a good 35 mm lense
@@carlossap yes I am aware that creating depth of field in a shot is also called bokeh ☺️ I’ve watched plenty of YT videos on the topic trying to figure it out on my camcorder (in vain, but the info gained was worth it). Thank you for the suggestion, I just didn’t want to buy expensive and bulky equipment if I could get similar - even if fake - effect. I thought about the ZV1 since it has the button to quickly activate the bokeh effect, but since I need a new phone anyway, thought it could 2 in 1 you know?
12:58 What's the fuss? I Would hate to see my phone always on, wasting battery, burning screen. I'd hate it even more when I set clock alarm and light from phone would be just bugging me when I want to go to sleep.
Honestly the new IPhones seem like a bit of a fail. They give you the most powerful processor of all smartphones, but using it produces so much heat that the display has to dim down after a couple of minutes. They finally give you a 120hz display 3 years too late, but using it in modern games resolves in the same dimming. So now you have to manually limit the power of the processor and set the refresh rate to 60hz, just to be able to play games with a reasonable level of brightness. Then you don't have a fingerprint sensor, even though it could have been inside the display, you don't have always-on display, you have a lot of problems with the camera and you still have the lightning port, which is stuck in 2012 speed-wise. And still these are basically the most expensive smartphones. I'm not an Android fanboy and I definitely don't hate Apple, but honestly, this is a fail on so many levels...
Apple always focuses on peak performance that's why the geekbench scores look good but that performance is not sustainable. I haven't had any of these issues on my 2 years old note 10 plus. oh well!!
@@TobyMacNewsboys I don't need it, I don't use it on my Galaxy S21 either, but a lot of people like them and it would be one of the perks of an OLED-display, which the new IPhone finally has, but without the always-on display.
Being a life long Android user, but being fed up with the poor battery life on every flagship Android, I thought I'd try an iPhone. I've already got an M1 MBAir, and I was impressed with the battery and the ease of use, especially since the USB C ports fitted in with all my fast charging Android plugs and cables. It's leaps and bounds better than any other laptop i've ever used; it just works so well! So I though that maybe getting the latest iPhone would be the same deal.... I heard that the 13 Pro Max has incredible stamina in the battery department, so when my carrier was all out of S21 Ultras to replace my broken one, they offered me the 256GB 13 Pro Max. It was only after I accepted the offer (without doing the usual research) that I recoiled in horror when I saw that Apple was still using the 'lightening' port and not the USB C that's on all it's other kit. To then read that it uses USB 2 absolutely blew my mind. WTH is Apple thinking with this? It's like having a Ferrari with a 100L fuel tank and a 1mm fuel filler. What a joke. Couple that with the still huge & ugly retro notch and nasty shiny steel finnish and mines up for sale! That's my first and last foray into the world of iPhone.
I switched from iPhone to Samsung Note 9 a few years ago, because of 1. Battery 2. Customizable home screen with icons and widgets 3. Split screen apps (particularly TH-cam and Notes) 4. Multiwindow apps (particularly maps, translate, chat heads, notes, and TH-cam) 5. S-pen 6. Low light photography 7. Thumbprint unlock I don't plan on switching back anytime soon, but admittedly Apple has caught up in the battery and camera. It'll take a lot more for Apple to win me over again.
Everyone knows in photo that the lower the F value the more light is brought into the lens. It is foolish for apple to not apply this to their night mode. Either way, it is correctable by an update or manual mode. I hope they add pro-control mode to the camera to let you do some of this yourself. I think we are getting into an area where we need them to dig in and give some control to the user on this.
Take a screenshot and then try sending it to a friend. It has some sort of a delay. Sometimes freezing. You literally have to get out and then send the screenshot via saved photos. Texting issues also. I go to send a text and it won’t let me type in a name.
The camera issue is definitely the biggest problem I have. I didn’t realize how often I take close photos until nearly every photo looks like crap because of the crop of the ultra wide lens. I’m glad you mentioned it because I thought my 13 pro max was broken haha
Great video mate thank you. You've addressed some serious issues especially with this macro lens. My problem is choosing between mini and pro and I am looking for the right reasons not to go to the pro. This is the first video that actually gives me a very good reason not to take the third lens so seriously. Is it possible that you could make a more detailed camera comparison between the mini and the regular pro? Also with the mini is it possible to shoot RAW photos or ProRes if you use another third party app?
Does anyone else notice? If any other phone has all these camera and heating issues, it will probably be given a bad product review with possibly a recommendation not to buy. Full stop. But with iPhones, we work hard at finding tips and tricks and work-arounds. Happy to compromise with tons of positive overall product reviews.
I've been having the dimming display issue since iPhone 11 pro max. I have to drive a lot for my work and having the iPhone under direct sunlight during the hot days and using google maps the display dims so much is almost unusable to use navigation! Also a really big issue for me with iOS 15 is the fact that you can't turn off smart HDR which adds this annoying algorithm "fix" to the photos that basically ruins them!
@@Reactor10k yeah mate. Not sure where you can see it exactly but if you search on forums everyone is complaining about it. It doesn’t matter if it’s iPhone 12 or 13 it’s the iOS 15. Before iOS 15 you could find the “smart hdr” option and toggle it on or off from settings>camera but it’s not there anymore.
This is literally proof how Apple is disgracing themselves for not ditching lightning port, over thunderbolt 4. Since it can still easily do 65w charging , while still have proper transfer speeds. Hopefully they won’t scam us on the iPhone 14 this time
@@fiirasmusic5366 i’ve been criticizing Apple on here, but when it comes to lightning port I can sort of see their point for two reasons. First reason, USB has changed numerous ways since the lightning port came out. Apple is into consistency and I admire that about them. Second reason, high-speed charging is convenient but pouring that much power, that fast, into a lithium ion battery definitely shortens its lifespan. This is another thing that I admire about Apple, they pride themselves on a longer product life cycle.
@@steviesevieria1868 bullshit. My bro has a Samsung galaxy s9 plus which will be 4 years old next year, he used it's original fast charging brick and still have 2 days of use on a single charge like it was new. Batteries in Android devices tend to be bigger in capacity, that's why they take more time before they start to deplete while iPhones with their ridiculous little batteries can barely hold a single day on a single use
@@danteerskine7678 whateves …. I have a Pixel 3a … not my fight. But I do understand the chemistry of lithium-ion batteries. They lose capacity every time they’re charged, by a tiny bit.
The 13 pro and max are finally worth calling pro iPhones age well but I think this one will last a very long time longer than the 6s this phone is a beast I got the pro max and I’m very impressed I came from a iPhone 12 I do miss the size but make up for it With camera battery display and performance although my 12 was good to me this pro max is amazing
My guess is they left always on display to keep battery at its peak. I came from Android and this is my first iPhone (13 pro max). I will tell you I really miss always on display. I only switched because my whole family owns iPhones and it’s easier we are all in the same ecosystem. The rest of the phone is good except no Touch ID. With the era of mask wearing, it bites to have to punch in a code when I am wearing it. I shouldn’t have to buy a watch to do it.
I’ve tried telling people in the comments about their “solution” about getting the watch. They kept saying if you can buy the phone, so you can buy the watch. But I told them not everyone wants a watch and it’s an unnecessary cost just for that one feature. Apple wants people who just buy their stuff cuz of things like this. Even though they should’ve given their iPhones more options for biometric security authentication. I’m saying this as someone who uses Apple products
@@ShockfactorCA unfortunately for this case, I agree. Its ridiculous how they’re gonna defend a company that make expensive products and not give more options or features in their devices. So freaking stupid.
@@A.The.H. my friend who owns an older galaxy a70 has an in display fingerprint scanner and always on display. These devices with oled screen are so cheaper that it could be considered as a steal and this is where the simplicity of Android change the whole user experience. Let's take a look at the Google assistant which has a built in sound search, which can easily find a music track just by putting the phone near a speaker, Siri isn't even capable of doing the same thing. On one of the Mkbhd video when he did the assistant battle, he asked Siri what was the population of Nepal and Siri response was human population and apple fanboys have some nerve to defend iPhone and it's outdated technology
@@A.The.H. I had a whole argument with a bunch of Apple cultist about this exact thing. I live in Italy and we have to wear mask almost everywhere indoors and outdoors. I don't want to buy a watch literally just to unlock my phone. All they did was copy trusted devices from Android but put it on one single device. I love my iPhone but I'm starting to consider Android and Touch ID. Everyone keeps saying masks are only temporary and that may be true, but they've been saying this for almost two years now. Cases and restrictions are just as bad.
I am tired of going to my texts and selecting a text, then go back to my texts and everything is disorganized and I can’t find where I was. (I get a lot of texts from clients and don’t have them all saved, but even my contacts and still doesn’t work.) I switched to the 13 pro max 1T from my 7plus and I am so disappointed with this issue as well as all the issues you mentioned on your video. I do love the camera and many of the other features but I changed a good phone for this and can’t believe I am experiencing this issues with my new phone.
How warm is it currently in your city? I have been putting my 13 Pro Max into full brightness while using 5g, Bluetooth headphones and even playing some lighter games and it never once dimmed. I understand cameras are even more demanding but during regular usage it never is like that. And as for the touch input: I have that issue literally only in TH-cam. Even with iOS 15 having some issues, this feels TH-cam specific. I have had it on all devices (XS Max, iPad Pro and now 13 Pro Max) for weeks during beta testing. There are easy settings changes to prevent dimming in games. Genshin is hugely demanding and PUBG is poorly optimized so it makes sense that those cause the biggest brightness drops.
It would be dumb for a phone to dim with normal usage. My iPhone 12 Pro Max dims when recording videos for long periods of time. So it is disappointing to see the dimming issue return even if it's improve slightly
I play pubg with my s10... never have to deal with dimming... and tbh I never hear about this problem. I was thinking to get a 2 phone because I was never have an iPhone.. but if it has this insane amount of issues.. better not

Can you make similar video for iPhone 13 (non pro)? I’m curious if it has same dimming issues too (though it’s display is maxed at 800 nits and 60hz).
Thr youtube clicking issue is not an iPhone 13 bug. Its the combination of ios 15 and the app. My 12 pro max has this issue too.
same. using 12 pro max too. just recently i think because of ios 15.
The solution for me is just to go into multitask (swipe from the bottom and hold) and back to the app.
My phone is the SE, by the way (so I’m clicking the home button twice).
Yes. My 12 pro max has the same problem with youtube. Annoying isn’t it?!

All these big youtubers be making fancy looking videos talking about good stuff and then bail. Great video, these are very essential.
That's a huge problem with most TH-cam reviews for almost every product. They review based on a week's use, then bail like you said.
It's nice to get follow ups, and it's a win-win as we get a more accurate read as consumers and TH-camrs get more content and views.
@@77dris it’s not just a short amount of time they live with the product, it’s the affiliate link. They want you to buy it. They have a financial incentive for you to buy it. Therefore they have a financial incentive not to tell you the weaknesses. This video is gold.

Touch input issue only happens in TH-cam for me. Also on my 12 pro max. Solution u gave also works for me 👍🏾
The solution he gave doesn’t work very often for me. I only see it on TH-cam as well. I have the 13 pro max but also happened on my 12 max too…
Happens on my 12mini as well
I have the same problem. This is after I updated to ios 15 and updated the youtube app. Mine was iphone 12 pro
Same they might fix it in the next iOS update👍🏽.
Same here, 13PM + TH-cam
that being said, I sometimes had very similar issues with android and the youtube app
I experience the touch issue on the XS as well, definitely a software issue.
My 8 plus does it to
I also get it on my 12 pro max on occasion , and it’s not just TH-cam , have also done it in safari.
I never noticed it happening before iOS 15.
Yup, My X has the touch issue too.. hope they fix some of these as mine gets delivered today lol
Same thing on my se 2. Eversince i upgraded to ios 15.
my se 2016 backup does it also but ist on ios 14.0
*correction 14.2
The easiest way to cool down the display is to turn off “True Tone” while outside. Works for me! ( I’m part 107 FAA Drone pilot) no screen fade either.
I’ll try it next time I go fly the drone!
I've been reading that iOS 14 and 15 may have a bug that by default turns on both True Tone and REDUCE WHITE POINT. Anybody try these?
Thank you
Good advice
This makes perfect sense, what a great tip!
Would be cool to get an update video to see if Apple addressed any of these issues 👍🏼

The problem with the camera is why I returned the iPhone 13 pro max and decided to keep my iPhone 12 pro max. Im glad you pointed it out. Reviewers are not talking about the camera problem. I noticed quickly the problem with the camera.

The agressive dimming of screen while using out in the sun can be a huge issue because that is exactly where you need your max brightness. Come on Apple. You charge so much and bring so much inconvenience.
This phone is not worth buying more than 700-800 euros :(
They do this to protect the device from overheating. It makes sense why turning on "Low Power Mode" counters this, but still it's very very annoying
@@kirkydaturkey then engineer better I mean I can see if they are doing intensive task, but simple stuff. honesly last two years seems quite off with apple ..it may be due to the pandemic
What do you expect of the phone is in direct sunlight and the backlight is at the max
How about prioritising Brightness over throttled performance. If heating/over-heating is the issue then it is a problem on it's own.
Imagine a 5nm chip doing simple tasks and overheating. Makes no sense at all.
I’m getting that same touch issue with links on my 12 Pro Max since updating to iOS 15. Glad to hear it’s not just me 😅
I had experienced the same issues on my x,7 and 7+ in ios13,14 and now in 15 too
I have issue on iphone 11
Thought I was crazy at first haha. Tried everything to remove that issue, but no luck. Software issue :/
Finally!👏 Someone who does very honest reviews about the iPhone 13 Pro. You earned a subscriber now and I already gave you your respective like.👍
No overheating here
I live and work outside in Phoenix. When working up in the boom in direct sunlight it'll get hot just sitting in my pocket. No gaming or nothing. Streaming music to Bluetooth headphones. It'll already be dim when I pull it out to make a phone call or shoot a text. Gave it to a family member and got a used LG V60. Never had that issue again.
Another way to get around auto-macro mode - put your phone into 1X portrait mode. If you're close enough to your subject for it to switch to macro mode, you'll also be too close for it to use portrait mode, so it will just take a regular picture, but it will still use the primary lens.
5head
Apple have added a Macro toggle now in settings - camera which was released today with beta 3 iOS 15.1
It's a smart idea. But c'mon. Why do we have to go thru that after paying so much for a phone? Quite frankly, Androids are more user friendly
@@alain-danieltankwa8007 I agree that macro should have been a straightforward toggle (and now it is, at least on the most updated iOS beta), but I'm not sure I see it as "why should we have to go through all that" levels of bother. Pushing a "macro mode" button and switching to portrait mode take exactly the same number of steps - one. It's not as if something that should have been a one step process needs to be circumvented with a 17 step workaround. It's just a different, one step process that you can use instead. Your mileage may vary, but for me, that's pretty much a nonissue.
@@Kevin-px3yi fair
yes! this is what I expect from a tech channel. honest reviews, some bugs and quick fixs. we already knew that iphone(N) is always better than iphone(N-1). so it does not make sense to mention best iphone ever all the time :)
Here's my issue: I started with an Iphone 13 Pro - unable to hold a conversation when using the phone. Thought it was an issue with that particular phone. Replaced with a new iphone 13 - still cannot hold a conversation with other individuals. This includes wifi calling and cellular. The user on the opposite end of the call can hear me fine, but on my end, it is dropping about every 3rd or 4th word. I am not in a 5G area - all settings have been reset, sim card changed out. At a complete loss.
My call drops everytime
@@rre5309 i had enough of the nonsense and just bought the S21 Ultra, no issues. Works perfectly.
I’m used to keeping my 12 Pro Max on 33% brightness so I don’t sear my retinas, especially first thing in the morning, and that also means I don’t have overheating problems. I only turn it up if I’m outside, and that’s it.
I feel like that Apple needs to work on the software now. Basically everything can be fixed with updates. I believe they will get to it soon (they addressed the apple watch problem with the last patch) but it will prolly take a couple of weeks or months.
Apple need to work on their RAM
@@saharajohnson6481 whats wrong with their ram?
@@112188Francisco they use the same RAM this year IPhones and last IPhones that what some people not talk about
@@saharajohnson6481 Nothing wrong with their ram. The iPhone still vastly outperforms flagship android phones that have twice as much ram. iPhones are just super efficient.
@@saharajohnson6481 you need to gain a little knowledge on technology. RAM in this case doesn’t matter with iPhone due to the operating system being so light. Therefore 6GB of Ram is all the phones need to keep apps open and running in the background. Software optimization is key.
Great tips on the camera issues.. hope Apple fix it soon
Wow. Those low-light issues with the 3x lens are pretty awful. Thanks for offering tips to workaround all these problems!
Yeah, I have been using the low power mode technique and it helped with temps, minimalized screen dimming and performance in games was pretty similar, but I'd like to see Apple make a good cooling solution for their phones...

Brilliant technical review and reason enough not to upgrade my iPhone to the 13 Max Pro until the problems are completely resolved.
Or.... when u get the money! :)
@@edgarantunes666 It’s honestly not about the money. Not long now before the iPhone 14 makes its appearance.
I’ve had phones with the always on display. Honestly, meh… When I went back to the iPhone, I didn’t miss it at all. - Just isn’t a big feature to in my opinion. I’m more interested in battery life.
Actually the iPhone has a date and day and notification don’t get the big deal on always on display.
Had it once too with jailbreak. Was really disappointed. There's absolutely no value in it. It's just distracting when it's always on. If I want to see time or notifications just tap it once.
Agree with this 100%. I have had android phones with it and ended up turning it off because it wasn't useful, and in one case, there was burn-in.

Can anyone buy me an iphone 13 pro max pls :)))))))))))))) Think of it as charity
It's incredible a product that cost that kind of money has so many problems. I have a Samsung s21 ultra and wanted to change to the iPhone pro max but you made me change my mind
if you put any iphone under sunlight for long periods of time it wont only damage the battery but also the phone will become unresponsive and it will struggle to operate, i have personally had this problem a lot of times while driving and using maps while the sunlight hit the phone and i can fully say that you need to keep your iphone away from the sun because once it shows you that "iphone is too hot" message it probably is struggling to stay alive.
My iPhone 7 Plus doesn’t have this issue. I’ve recorded out in the sun at beaches and amusement parks all day long without the issues 13 pro max is having.
This dimming issue is just one of several reasons why you are better off getting the DJI smart controller with a built in screen. No chance of dimming issues, crashing phones, and more.
I agree. ESP if you need your phone battery for phone things.

Yes someone needs to tell Apple because their engineers can’t figure that out on their own…. 🙄
Thanks so your honesty reviewing. I will go return the iPhone 13 pro Max tomorrow. I used 11 day,the touch issue and video making issues really made me not in the good mood.
iOS 15 is ridiculously buggy
So in other words you overpay for the powerful cores just to turn them off right from the box, because it dims the screen at any power demanding tasks, but you can't because of the touch responsiveness issue. While fighting with the responsiveness you realize that your lenses are as dirty as hell because of your fingerprints when trying to shot a proper macro shot, for some reasons it was too dark and noisy, and that's because the camera decided to select a tele lens with a slow aperture f2.8 (when it was f2.0 in the 11pro). But no problem you have 2 times more time trying to fix all the issues because of the larger battery, nice!
That's pretty much it in a nutshell! 😆 I'm sticking with my iPhone 7.
Good summary
I can't imagine buying this phone for the processing speed, just to find every time you actually need it your screen is dark. This review contains important information that every reviewer should be sharing.

This is exemplary information! The tap issue is frustrating because the device is expensive and top tier. Hopefully, Apple will fix this and other bugs soon.
did all the Problems regarding software updating already resolved for Iphone 13 Pro Max? I'am thinking of buying a new Phone but a little bit hesitant, should I wait for Iphone 14? or Samsung Fold 4?
Thanks for someone finally showing those sides of the iphone. I actually got both phones too and i was surprised that no one spoke about the overhyped camera that actually happened to be worse even than a galaxy s10 plus in a lot of situations. I'm sorry but that's not a 1.6k phone. And no one speaks about that plasticy sounding and feeling display. Maybe it's just me but it really bugs the hell out of me. Also the lower resolution and the fact that it is not actually brighter as claimed is another minus.
The galaxy S10 is an amazing phone, nothing in common with buggy iPhones
You can literally turn off Auto-Brightness. It's in Accessibility>Display & Text Size. All the way at the bottom
It’s not an auto brightness issue. It’s dimming caused by overheating, which cannot be turned off no matter what, only delayed, as mentioned in the video.
I'll stick with my 11 pro max for now until apple release major upgrade
I’ll stick with mine as well, no need to upgrade.
So cool to see my hometown on TH-cam!
sweet scam!
Every problem presented in this video is not a problem to the average consumer. It is only a problem for content creators or you have a quick fix for the problem making it a non-issue.
Apple has stated that they are going to add an update where you can manually switch the macro lens on/off for those more 3x zoom pics
Beware of scammer!
And this is exactly why I haven’t upgraded from my iPhone 7 Plus yet. And yes it is a major pain to play Genshin on this particular device since graphics performance is no longer sufficient compared to the newer ones 😅
Hilarious. I'm in the same boat. I was about to upgrade my iPhone 7. I want a better iPhone camera but after watching this video, I got a headache. I think I'll wait til Version 2.0. I didn't think Apple would release such a buggy iPhone.
Get the 11 series or 12 series.
Lol I have the 8 and I’m having a problem lately with the touch responsiveness as well as it getting pretty hot when I use gps for a few hrs in sunlight. Was thinking about upgrading and now I hear the brand new ones have the same problems 🥴
Tbh, the 13 pro is going to be a massive upgrade from a 7 plus. Most of these are going to fixed in software. I’ve also personally never had a problem with screen dimming either, the screen is bright enough that I don’t have to crank up the brightness in the first place.

Tap to display is what I use on Android
so most peak performance issues/dimming/overheating of the "Pros" can be fixed by low power mode? Might as well get the regular iphone 13 since basically its in "auto low power mode" lol
At least his honest and gives information detailed to try or fix”Apple need to know everything from bugs and flaws to get fixed great video💯
That's why the iPhone needs a game mode like on Android Devices. Also missing is Bluetooth 5.2 and Wifi 6E
I use to be someone that defended the lighting port until a few days ago when I had to transfer large files and realize it’s time for it to go! Furthermore I say skip USBC and go straight to Thunderbolt 4.0. At this point it makes more since if your including ProRes and Raw
Given that cameras are so much more powerful these days , it wold make sense to go for the fast port , and in any event having one device lightning, and all the rest usbc is just a pain in the ass.
iPhone 14 will not have USB C, instead it will be portless.
Thunderbolt 4 is still USB C... USB Type C is only the connector shape, not the USB standard that the port actually uses.
Transferring with wifi is faster
What about transferring via Air Drop?
My Main Problems are ://
1. Lightning port ( Very low data transfer speeds and low charging speeds wired mode < MagSafe charging sucks even more due to heating and speeds>)
2. Display dimming while taking photos outdoor & playing graphic-intense gaming like pubg,cod etc and moreover device heats up lot more.
(yes low power modes help a little bit in this aspect but we are losing lot more like 120hz etc, by the spending Premium amount to buy a phone and use the phone in low power mode ) this was not a problem with other brands like Oneplus, Samsung etc
3. Lens flare in photos and videos in bright light conditions make photos/ videos not up to the mark
4. auto switching macro mode and missing AOD feature( not a big deal but having makes perfect)
5. huge bezels on sides mostly visible on pro max devices makes phone old generation and of course the smaller notch lengthwise( zero use) but slightly increased width 😯
@@andyH_England yeah agree for your statements as a basic Normal mobile user but for techie/ heavy user the above problems makes big difference.
1. As limited storage we need to transfer files for example if we take 10min 4k 60 clip it consumes more space and downloads etc.
Simply apple wants to make more money without switching to usb c
With iPads they have to do it because of these issues otherwise it's a big disaster.
2. I have never seen such a display dimming issue in samsung galaxy s series (s21 ultra), note series , OnePlus, asus rog,vivo etc flagship phones
Using in the same conditions my new iphone sucks then what's the use of POWERFUL A15 chip with week cooling.
It's a flagship phone with premium price tag, we need sustainable performance for longer duration ( not just 10-15min) not just the peak performance.
3. Lens flare is more annoying issues when compared to other flagship phones example: s21 ultra, I am forced to use my older phones to take photos in such conditions instead of new iphone 😑
4. When iphone 14 with iOS 16 but it's a issue right now.buying Phone now thinking future updates can fix this doesn't make any sense in flagship phones especially of apple update, these kind of software features apple keep on hold until next iOS event feature list.
Again AOD can be simply be enabled by software but they don't do it because it will be the new feature which will be marked for future phones
5.yeah it's completely personal preference

@@mikldude9376 yeah true
Bit weird when he say faster/slower aperture. Aperture is a hole that let a light passthrough, so it should be bigger/smaller aperture. Faster/slower are for shutter speed.
Exactly! Larger aperture can cause slower shutter in order to get the same exposure, but the aperture value does not describe its speed 😉 Also, bigger number has its cons but also pros, so it’s not completely a bad thing.
He’s using photography terminology. A fast aperture doesn’t refer to any speed metric, it simply means that it will let in more light. The other thing about aperture is that the f-number is actually a ratio between the focal length of a lens and it’s maximum actual aperture diameter (the light pupil of the lens). A f2.8 aperture on a professional lens could be larger than the whole camera module on an iPhone whereas the iPhone with its f1.4 for example the actual diameter of the aperture hole is in the millimeters range. If we started using the terms larger and smaller we would have to start referring to the aperture in an absolute value, but to say faster or slower indicates that more light can be captured (for the same shutter speed) ie. the “faster” a lens, the quicker your shutter speed can be to capture the same amount of light. And the reverse is also true. Hope this helped
The TH-cam problem isn’t a problem with the phone it’s the software. So nothing is wrong with the phone any more than the others. It’s like complaining that the brand is Apple when all Apple phones are
And Always On Display isn’t necessary and not a problem - it’s a design CHOICE

Yes if it's overheating just cool it off in the sink for few seconds.

Wish I could have given a triple like for this video. Very useful tips, especially the telephoto lens ones.
And especially for people who are researching buying this POS.
Honestly the new IPhones seem like a bit of a fail. They give you the most powerful processor of all smartphones, but using it produces so much heat that the display has to dim down after a couple of minutes. They finally give you a 120hz display 3 years too late, but using it in modern games resolves in the same dimming. So now you have to manually limit the power of the processor and set the refresh rate to 60hz, just to be able to play games with a reasonable level of brightness. Then you don't have a fingerprint sensor, even though it could have been inside the display, you don't have always-on display, you have a lot of problems with the camera and you still have the lightning port, which is stuck in 2012 speed-wise. And still these are basically the most expensive smartphones. I'm not an Android fanboy and I definitely don't hate Apple, but honestly, this is a fail on so many levels...
Apple always focuses on peak performance that's why the geekbench scores look good but that performance is not sustainable. I haven't had any of these issues on my 2 years old note 10 plus. oh well!!
Why would you need an always-on display? 😂
@@TobyMacNewsboys quick glance at your phone and you got all the info you need. Time. Notifications. No need to turn on the screen.
@@TobyMacNewsboys I don't need it, I don't use it on my Galaxy S21 either, but a lot of people like them and it would be one of the perks of an OLED-display, which the new IPhone finally has, but without the always-on display.
Agreed
Dimmed display and lack of touch isn’t exclusive to the 13 my 11 pro max dims now after the ios15 update and the touch occasionally fails.
Check your accessibility settings to make sure REDUCE WHITE POINT is off. SOme say that iOS15 enables this.
@@77dris thanks for the tip. Sadly not the issue.
Being a life long Android user, but being fed up with the poor battery life on every flagship Android, I thought I'd try an iPhone. I've already got an M1 MBAir, and I was impressed with the battery and the ease of use, especially since the USB C ports fitted in with all my fast charging Android plugs and cables. It's leaps and bounds better than any other laptop i've ever used; it just works so well! So I though that maybe getting the latest iPhone would be the same deal....
I heard that the 13 Pro Max has incredible stamina in the battery department, so when my carrier was all out of S21 Ultras to replace my broken one, they offered me the 256GB 13 Pro Max. It was only after I accepted the offer (without doing the usual research) that I recoiled in horror when I saw that Apple was still using the 'lightening' port and not the USB C that's on all it's other kit. To then read that it uses USB 2 absolutely blew my mind. WTH is Apple thinking with this? It's like having a Ferrari with a 100L fuel tank and a 1mm fuel filler. What a joke. Couple that with the still huge & ugly retro notch and nasty shiny steel finnish and mines up for sale! That's my first and last foray into the world of iPhone.
I switched from iPhone to Samsung Note 9 a few years ago, because of
1. Battery
2. Customizable home screen with icons and widgets
3. Split screen apps (particularly TH-cam and Notes)
4. Multiwindow apps (particularly maps, translate, chat heads, notes, and TH-cam)
5. S-pen
6. Low light photography
7. Thumbprint unlock
I don't plan on switching back anytime soon, but admittedly Apple has caught up in the battery and camera. It'll take a lot more for Apple to win me over again.
Most of those issues can be fixed by a software update and for the the cinematic in 4K is not in issue just get the 256gb
Everyone knows in photo that the lower the F value the more light is brought into the lens. It is foolish for apple to not apply this to their night mode. Either way, it is correctable by an update or manual mode. I hope they add pro-control mode to the camera to let you do some of this yourself. I think we are getting into an area where we need them to dig in and give some control to the user on this.
theyve explained its because they needed to keep the lens weight down for the sensor image stabilization to work correctly
I'm glad I don't pre-order iPhones
Take a screenshot and then try sending it to a friend. It has some sort of a delay. Sometimes freezing. You literally have to get out and then send the screenshot via saved photos.
Texting issues also. I go to send a text and it won’t let me type in a name.
I have the same tap loading problem on my IPhone 8
but mainly on Safari
!!!
The camera issue is definitely the biggest problem I have. I didn’t realize how often I take close photos until nearly every photo looks like crap because of the crop of the ultra wide lens. I’m glad you mentioned it because I thought my 13 pro max was broken haha
Is this issue resolved now ?
@@capturedlondon fixed
@@capturedlondon 10/10 would recommend now
What a professional detailed review! Love this so much!
Certainly solidified my buying decision. No way!
Great video mate thank you. You've addressed some serious issues especially with this macro lens. My problem is choosing between mini and pro and I am looking for the right reasons not to go to the pro. This is the first video that actually gives me a very good reason not to take the third lens so seriously. Is it possible that you could make a more detailed camera comparison between the mini and the regular pro? Also with the mini is it possible to shoot RAW photos or ProRes if you use another third party app?
Agreed. I'd rather have a less high-tech phone that works seamlessly.
Wild that Low Power Mode fixes a lot of issues.
In the new update there's now option to chose the macro mode or to no use it you can check now in setting >camera
Does anyone else notice? If any other phone has all these camera and heating issues, it will probably be given a bad product review with possibly a recommendation not to buy. Full stop.
But with iPhones, we work hard at finding tips and tricks and work-arounds. Happy to compromise with tons of positive overall product reviews.
Finally an honest professional review!! Thank you~ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've been having the dimming display issue since iPhone 11 pro max. I have to drive a lot for my work and having the iPhone under direct sunlight during the hot days and using google maps the display dims so much is almost unusable to use navigation! Also a really big issue for me with iOS 15 is the fact that you can't turn off smart HDR which adds this annoying algorithm "fix" to the photos that basically ruins them!
What about the setting that allows you to turn off smart HDR?
@@Reactor10k there’s no such option in iOS 15. They removed it.
@@solidsn2011 Did they? I’m looking at it right now. Are we talking about an iPhone 13?
@@Reactor10k yeah mate. Not sure where you can see it exactly but if you search on forums everyone is complaining about it. It doesn’t matter if it’s iPhone 12 or 13 it’s the iOS 15. Before iOS 15 you could find the “smart hdr” option and toggle it on or off from settings>camera but it’s not there anymore.
well I’m on an 11 Pro Max on 15 and it’s there for me. Perhaps from the 12 up things are different…
That's how you earn a subscriber. By being unbiased and thorough.
Should I buy new iPhone 13 Pro max after seeing this review ! Kindly suggest ???
This is literally proof how Apple is disgracing themselves for not ditching lightning port, over thunderbolt 4. Since it can still easily do 65w charging , while still have proper transfer speeds. Hopefully they won’t scam us on the iPhone 14 this time
Maybe 2 more years but not soon. They still have it apart of the apple continuity and eco system.
Maybe they can update the lighting port
@@fiirasmusic5366 i’ve been criticizing Apple on here, but when it comes to lightning port I can sort of see their point for two reasons. First reason, USB has changed numerous ways since the lightning port came out. Apple is into consistency and I admire that about them. Second reason, high-speed charging is convenient but pouring that much power, that fast, into a lithium ion battery definitely shortens its lifespan. This is another thing that I admire about Apple, they pride themselves on a longer product life cycle.
@@steviesevieria1868 bullshit. My bro has a Samsung galaxy s9 plus which will be 4 years old next year, he used it's original fast charging brick and still have 2 days of use on a single charge like it was new.
Batteries in Android devices tend to be bigger in capacity, that's why they take more time before they start to deplete while iPhones with their ridiculous little batteries can barely hold a single day on a single use
@@danteerskine7678 whateves …. I have a Pixel 3a … not my fight. But I do understand the chemistry of lithium-ion batteries. They lose capacity every time they’re charged, by a tiny bit.
The 13 pro and max are finally worth calling pro iPhones age well but I think this one will last a very long time longer than the 6s this phone is a beast I got the pro max and I’m very impressed I came from a iPhone 12 I do miss the size but make up for it With camera battery display and performance although my 12 was good to me this pro max is amazing
My guess is they left always on display to keep battery at its peak. I came from Android and this is my first iPhone (13 pro max). I will tell you I really miss always on display. I only switched because my whole family owns iPhones and it’s easier we are all in the same ecosystem. The rest of the phone is good except no Touch ID. With the era of mask wearing, it bites to have to punch in a code when I am wearing it. I shouldn’t have to buy a watch to do it.
I’ve tried telling people in the comments about their “solution” about getting the watch. They kept saying if you can buy the phone, so you can buy the watch. But I told them not everyone wants a watch and it’s an unnecessary cost just for that one feature. Apple wants people who just buy their stuff cuz of things like this. Even though they should’ve given their iPhones more options for biometric security authentication. I’m saying this as someone who uses Apple products
@@A.The.H. apple fan boys will defend apple no matter what the company does..
@@ShockfactorCA unfortunately for this case, I agree. Its ridiculous how they’re gonna defend a company that make expensive products and not give more options or features in their devices. So freaking stupid.
@@A.The.H. my friend who owns an older galaxy a70 has an in display fingerprint scanner and always on display. These devices with oled screen are so cheaper that it could be considered as a steal and this is where the simplicity of Android change the whole user experience.
Let's take a look at the Google assistant which has a built in sound search, which can easily find a music track just by putting the phone near a speaker, Siri isn't even capable of doing the same thing.
On one of the Mkbhd video when he did the assistant battle, he asked Siri what was the population of Nepal and Siri response was human population and apple fanboys have some nerve to defend iPhone and it's outdated technology
@@A.The.H. I had a whole argument with a bunch of Apple cultist about this exact thing. I live in Italy and we have to wear mask almost everywhere indoors and outdoors. I don't want to buy a watch literally just to unlock my phone. All they did was copy trusted devices from Android but put it on one single device. I love my iPhone but I'm starting to consider Android and Touch ID. Everyone keeps saying masks are only temporary and that may be true, but they've been saying this for almost two years now. Cases and restrictions are just as bad.
I was watching this video again, and now I don't think I want the 13 Pro Max anymore.
I agree with you me too.
I am tired of going to my texts and selecting a text, then go back to my texts and everything is disorganized and I can’t find where I was. (I get a lot of texts from clients and don’t have them all saved, but even my contacts and still doesn’t work.) I switched to the 13 pro max 1T from my 7plus and I am so disappointed with this issue as well as all the issues you mentioned on your video. I do love the camera and many of the other features but I changed a good phone for this and can’t believe I am experiencing this issues with my new phone.
How warm is it currently in your city? I have been putting my 13 Pro Max into full brightness while using 5g, Bluetooth headphones and even playing some lighter games and it never once dimmed. I understand cameras are even more demanding but during regular usage it never is like that. And as for the touch input: I have that issue literally only in TH-cam. Even with iOS 15 having some issues, this feels TH-cam specific. I have had it on all devices (XS Max, iPad Pro and now 13 Pro Max) for weeks during beta testing. There are easy settings changes to prevent dimming in games. Genshin is hugely demanding and PUBG is poorly optimized so it makes sense that those cause the biggest brightness drops.
It would be dumb for a phone to dim with normal usage. My iPhone 12 Pro Max dims when recording videos for long periods of time. So it is disappointing to see the dimming issue return even if it's improve slightly
He exaggerating
My guess is that he lives somewhere very hot, I don’t know of others that are experiencing these issues en mass.
I play pubg with my s10... never have to deal with dimming... and tbh I never hear about this problem. I was thinking to get a 2 phone because I was never have an iPhone.. but if it has this insane amount of issues.. better not
@@factisimo these issues are all fixable by software updates, so in a few weeks/months it will be optimized.
