IPhone 13 Pro

I’ve had my phone since release and it has been absolutely great. This is either my second or third time getting the Plus / Pro Max variant of an iPhone and during the first few years of ownership, it was brilliant. I loved having the large size and 120hz for watching videos on the fly. I rarely had to run for a charger or anything like that because of how long the phone would last.

A few months ago, I dropped the phone and absolutely clattered the back of my phone. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have contents insurance to get a replacement. This meant that my phone went from having 82% capacity, back to 100%. I think this was the biggest thing in revolutionising how my phone feels.

I find myself a few generations behind and I keep wondering if it’s time to send this phone to my dad so I can get myself a new one. I’m finding reasons to upgrade (like the Pro Max being cumbersome, which it is) and needing a fancy new camera system. But if I’m being really honest, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this phone and I could probably keep it for another 2/3 years at least.

There’s not much here to say apart from the fact that most people (myself definitely included) just want a shiny new thing every so often but in most cases it’s just not necessary.

Long story short, iPhones have plateaued in recent years so the iPhone 13 PM is so good that I can’t get myself a new toy and that makes me mildly annoyed. Very first world problem but just wanted to share!
