    To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question, and it only becomes even more pressing with Apple products. I like to think of Cupertino as the automaker of tech, where since design is one of the most important pillars of its products, it's also the reason why it doesn't change that often. My new MacBook Pro carries a design that's five years old, and you'll see that across the board.
    Where you'll see innovation is in features, which is one of the major reasons why looks can be deceiving. On one corner we have Apple's best and most changed iPhone of 2020 and on the other we have its 2021 successor. If you judge them by the looks you'd assume they're the same phone, but I think you'll be impressed by the differences. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max, sponsored by SUPCASE.

Let’s say that you can make a case for battery life, I have the 12 Pro Max, I get a day of really heavy use with maybe 12-16% battery left at 10 PM so if you get the 13 Pro Max which by his calculations is a 1- 1-1/2- 2 day battery it will not matter ‘cause MOST PEOPLE CHARGE THEIR PHONE EVERY NIGHT WHILE THEY’RE SLEEPING. The camera I didn’t see a significant difference not even at night the 12 Pro Max is still one the best ones out there, so in conclusion Unless you’re getting a really good deal on your 12 Pro Max then go ahead as for me… No way!

The Note 8, released the same year, didn’t have any trade in value after 4 years. Oldest Samsung with value is the s10 with a trade in value of 400$, and that released 2 years after. So Samsung doesn’t carry value over the long run. Android doesn’t carry after the long run. Shoot the Note 20 Ultra, last year was worth 1300, is half the value a year later.

    Honestly the camera is worse , i upgraded from iphone 12 pro max to iphone pro 13 (decided to go with a smaller pro because this year the camera was the same whereas last year 12 pro max had a bigger sensor)
    They removed my favorite feature which is MANUAL HDR CONTROL
    i get blown up skies anytime i type on a person while taking a photo because the hdr doesnt kick in automatically... and theres no option anymore to enable it manually
    And the other bad thing is the zoom lenses apperture which is f2.8 whereas on iphone 11 pro max it is f2.0 on iphone 12 pro max it was f2.4 ... the night mode doesnt really help because i get shaky photos even with the new stabilization
    Id say if you care about taking beautiful PHOTOS keep the 12 ...

    When it comes to choosing between two phones that are fairly similar it should come down to price. A person shouldn't go into debt just to get a phone that the slight now if you are affluent and have the extra money of course you can change every year especially if you get a good trade in value. If you're a person looking to upgrade from a older or inferior phone and you can get a good price on the 12 promax why not go for it? Nice video once again, you have a friend in Columbus Ohio!

    I did upgrade from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro Max, but only because my wife wanted an upgrade so she got my 12 Pro Max.
    If she didn't I would still happily have a 12 Pro Max...however for a heavy user like myself, the battery improvements are very noticeable. The 12 Pro Max will need a top up by early evening on a work day (calls, multiple email account syncing, hotspot usage, 5G usage most of the day with mixed signal with 4G at times), but the 13 Pro Max will last until bed time with about 20% left.
    Everything other advantage is a nice to have, but wouldn't miss it if I stuck with the 12.

    Is it my imagination or were the daytime shots with the cloudy sky much better on the 12? The sky had much more dynamic range and definition in the shots from the 12. At night the 13 definitely was better though. As for the "smaller" notch, it's more narrow yes, but it's deeper now. That's why the notch now cuts into 18:9 video. So yes, the design of this brand new iPhone reminds me of the Google Pixel 3 XL. Congrats Apple :/

    Only reason why I’m considering upgrading is because I can get $975 trade in value for my 12pm. Upgrading to 13pm for $125 (before tax) is amazing. Don’t care for the camera, but the 120hz and better battery would be great.
    Also, say I wait and don’t upgrade until the 14pm. And let’s say that the price stays the same at $1099. I’ll be lucky to get $700 trade in value for my 2 year old 12pm. That means that I’ll have to pay $400 for the upgrade. Whereas if I upgrade to 13pm for $125 now, i most likely won’t be upgrading for a while because the updated refresh rate and battery would be the most significant upgrades for me.
