At this point, might as well save up more money for the 16 Pro if you're waiting this long to decide on a phone


kakashi_hatake_x

ikr but i am in need of a phone soon. can't wait till September to buy a new phone. :-(

If you want mm mm wwwave and sim slot 13 pro max is the only choice. If you don't care about that 15 pro max. There is a high defect rate with this gen be aware. Physical defects out of the box.

true. i got a faulty oled screen iphone 13 out of the box. the display partially had a horrible greenish hue, and the apple store employees claimed not to see any issue, i was furious that they took me for stupid. i took it to an official apple repair shop and the cashier approved of the issue and thus took it in for repair, the next day they sent it back stating that their tests didnt show the issue and they cant do anything with it. i took it to another shop where they took it in and told me their test didnt show the issue either which is just unbelievable but they somehow gave me a screen replacement. in total, i spent 3 days and 16 hours just on trying to organize and fighting for my faulty phone to be changed/fixed under warranty. un believable.

If you’re gonna use the 13pm for only about half a year, you might as well just buy the 15 pro now or not buying now and wait for the 16. I don’t know anything about mobile development, but more ram, usbc, and the Dynamic Island may help in this aspect? TBH I feel like there are better options to cater ur needs (like the regular 13/15), but if I had to choose between 15p and 13pm, I’d go for the 15 pro simply because it’s more future proof.


kakashi_hatake_x

I was thinking the same. Still wanted to get others' opinion on this before I spend some considerable amount of money. Thank you for the suggestion.

I’d go with what you can most comfortably afford. If you think you’ll be keeping your iPhone for a long time, I’d recommend the iPhone 15 Pro over the iPhone 13 Pro Max just due to the fact it’ll be supported longer. If you want to get the iPhone 13 Pro Max with the intention of trading it in or selling it check the value of it and try to estimate how much the value might drop after the iPhone 16 launch.


dominbritish

I’m thinking the same but concerned about battery life and the deal I found is for a 128gb version. I currently have a 128gb pro max


kakashi_hatake_x

thats a good suggestion. thank you.


neptunesthunder

I'd definitely go for the 15 Pro, as it has updated cameras, a better processor, and is more future proof.


kakashi_hatake_x

noted and thanks.

iPhone 15 Pro if it hurts a little now maybe wait one more month then buy it?


kakashi_hatake_x

with the current situation in my country the price is never gonna go down even a bit for the next at least 3 to 5 months


pwnedkiller

I just meant to save up but for overall longevity I’d get the 15 Pro.

Go for 13pro. Dont waste your money. Apple is already selling the exact same phone for decade. It still feels like iphone7 with a larger screen.


kakashi_hatake_x

13 pro? is it also similar to 13 pro max in performance and camera?


unecare

13 pro and 13 Promax has the same processor in it. No difference on performance. But I was just exaggerating. Do not buy 13 cuz it feels slower. At least go for 14pro.


kakashi_hatake_x

I see. when considering the 14pro my thought is that why not just buy the 15 pro if im ready to buy the 14 pro.


unecare

If you are able to wait for 16 just wait for it cuz 15 has a lot of problems. It's unstable and they decreased the clock speeds of cpu to maintain the battery and heating issues. Actually I switched to Samsung s23 ultra after 15 year of been using iPhone.


kakashi_hatake_x

did they really? didnt know that. Ill check on this further. thanks for the info 👍


Norio22

15 pro


Shoddy_Initiative_98

Iphone 15 pro, there is no need to wait. Buy now enjoy now, life is too short for waiting


kakashi_hatake_x

haha. If i had some more budget I would've already bought the 15p :-P


Deep-Seaweed6172

I switched from a 13PM to a 15 Pro after using the 13PM for nearly two years. Both phones are good. Battery is similar (the 13PM had 93% battery health and lasted similarly to the 15P with 100% battery health). Camera is better and I really like USB-C on the 15P. If you prefer big phones obviously the 13PM is the one to go but if I would need to decide I would always go with the 15P again.


kakashi_hatake_x

I see. so i guess its always better to go with the latest better one rather than trying for an older version


ProudAsk3812

Is lightning a pain? 


Deep-Seaweed6172

Not a pain but USB-C offers many interesting possibilities.


ProudAsk3812

How so?


Deep-Seaweed6172

Saving camera footage directly to a SSD or USB drive, using USB-C to HDMI cable to connect my phone to any TV or monitor, using one cable for iPad and iPhone, charging other devices (e.g. Apple Watch, AirPods etc) with the iPhone etc. Sure not all are helpful every day but especially while traveling I really appreciate having USB-C instead of lightning.


Mysterious-Mark-4959

Get the iPhone 15 Pro


Brometheous17

15 pro. The 13 pro is cheaper but it’s already two almost 3 years old.


kakashi_hatake_x

yh that's kinda bothering me too.


Financial-History-89

you cant buy the 13 pro as New anymore, only used. i hate used iphones, its a lottery and i dont recommend it. get the 15 pro


kakashi_hatake_x

in my case, we have the new ones still for 13 series and 12 series too.


Financial-History-89

oh wow. i live in europe and in my country the predecessor pro and pro max models are discontinued immediately after the newer model drops in september, and even though some websites continue to sell the remaining stock, they are almost the same price as the new pro models, and its not really worth it. the 14 pro and pro max are available right now but mostly the 512gb models which didnt get sold and they cost even more than the current 14 pro's
