@@RennieAsh I do agree with you. Last night (it’s 4:30 am here in Paris) I spoke over the phone with my good friend David. He doesn’t want to be introduced as a professional photographer, as his major activity - and the only activity he gets his income from - has nothing to with taking pictures. I always tell him that I respect that but I do know his skills in photography are way beyond amateur. Anyway. When I spoke with him he was super excited about the iPhone 13 news focals, and kept telling me : “Stef, you just can’t imagine how the news built-in photographic system is wayyyy superior to the former model”. So, as you wrote, people with specific needs like David (+, needless to say but who obviously can afford the new iPhone) will never : - ask themselves : “Should I really buy it” ! - spend the rest of the year cursing the day they switched to this 13th edition 😅
I never expected that I will have this dilemma to choose between 12 pro max vs 13 pro max. I want to pat my self for working hard and saving for a new phone. 🥰 I'll be upgrading from ip11.
@@kaycee4060 Me too. Upgraded from 11 Pro Max. I was worried I wouldn't see much of a difference. But my 13 Pro Max makes my 11 Pro Max feel very sub-par. I'm impressed.
It used to with mine, I upgraded to 13 PM and HDR 4 is real. Man the highlight and shadow control is night and day and lens flair issue has been pretty much ironed out. I found camera to be a huge upgrade over 12 PM overall (HDR, Ultra-wide, macro & low light specifically). If you care about cameras, definitely it’s one of the biggest iPhone jump generation to generation which I have seen! That was my experience with it so far.
@@parthoomphy7214 thanks for the info, but I shoot raw only and never had issues like that, maybe I got lucky with my phone, the 13 is great phone but I can’t justify $1200 upgrade right now
@@juanmm9297 yeah I understand, I got a buyer who was offering me nice money for 12 PM, so upgraded just for 120hz (my iPad had spoiled me u can say). I was not even expecting such a big jump in camera over 12 PM tbh, but it was kinnda a surprise to me, and yeah the battery too! So I’m super happy I did upgrade. Cheers
@@parthoomphy7214 lol its not a huge difference especially comparing to iPhone 12 pro max. The next iPhone will be worth to upgrade. Most of those picture were identical.
@@hewad1923it’s a video bro, u can’t tell on it, when u have phones in your hands and see The details, difference is apparent right away. I have had both, so I know what I’m talking about. Especially in low light, it’s night and day
My 8 Plus' battery is going out and I'm looking at upgrade options. I just can't get over the pricing of 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. I like the large form factor, it feels comfortable in my big hands, but the price is just killer. I was thinking maybe just replacing the battery could do the job, albeit losing the water resistance. 8 Plus has a decent enough camera for my needs. When I compare photo quality in iphones since 8 Plus, I don't think even the 13 non-pro models have as nice pics coming out of them as the 8 Plus does. The Pro Max series seems to be the only upgrade path for me and I'm just not over the pricing yet :/
Not much better .and in some pics the 12s look better . To make it even all you gotta do is do a few touch ups like vibrance, contrast etc and it’ll be par with the 13 . Only place the 12 ain’t touching the 13 is in macro shots
Hello. I'm planning to buy an iphone but still cannot decide if I'll buy the 12 pro max or 13 pro max even after watching this video 😭 can anyone help and enlighten me more?
Night mode on the 12 Pro Max may have occurred when you zoom in even further. On my Android phone, it tries to use the main sensor when too dark or if you are too close for the telephoto lens. But after a certain a mount of zoom it will force the telephoto lens to be used anyway. Or use manual mode :)
In a periscope format yes. In standard format, I don't think I've seen more than 3x zoom. I guess Apple doesn't want to use the space for periscope or they think it's not ready for what they want to use it for
No, in real life you will hate iphone 12 because i had experienced that. Iphone 12 makes our face looks really bright and edited. No natural looking at all at iphone 12 series. I hate iphone 12 camera for photos but still great for videos
Oh my god nothing to do with the context of the video but I just can't get over how charming you are! This was a pleasure to watch, I'm still trying to decide for wich one I should buy making a huge jump from my dying iPhone 7 plus!
Very interesting about night mode for telephoto. On first glance the 12 Pro Max was brighter but I didn’t realise it is the standard wide lens digitally cropped. I’m still disappointed that the aperture couldn’t stay the same. Going from 2.2 to 2.8 for me is a sacrifice.
Got to love when people do this, especially with bright white borders that overpower the content being shown. And they have the temerity to talk about details ;p
Amazing pictures, as always Michael! I just ordered a iPhone 13 pro max, and it is scheduled to be delivered by October 27th. Do you think it is possible they send it before?
you need to manually increase how many seconds to take night mode photo's to see the difference..because at default it only take 3s or 4s thats why isn't much different from 12 pro max..but if manually put 10s on night mode shots in 13 pro max it will destroy all night mode kings because it is so bright and detailed
Idk, there are some great phones out there eg Vivo x70 pro plus that can give stunning night mode shots (and without Apple's over exposed light problem)
There’s a huge difference in real life,I upgraded from 12 PM to 13 PM and difference is one the biggest camera jumps generation over generation which I have seen on iPhones. I mean all cameras are upgraded hugely, but specially the ultra-wide! It’s actually pretty awesome now (never liked it on my 12 tbh, so used it very less). Also additions of new features like macro, better zoom with night mode, cinematic mode and picture styles, it’s most fun iPhone camera I have used in years. Seriously if u care about camera, display and battery life, 12 to 13 PM is a huge jump (just looks are same, it’s a new experience if u go in-depth)!
Anyway to compare nighttime action video. The only reason I would need to upgrade is if this is superior. I video HS football from the sidelines under the lights. My 12pro max does amazing… but would the 13pro max be way better?
Hi!! Can you please please do a 12 Pro Max vs 13 Pro (not max) comparison. Battery (endurance and charge speeds), performance, screen, benchmark. I think people like me who have the 12 Pro Max would want to move to a 13 Pro (not max) and save a bit of money and go for the 256gb. Thank you!! 😊 🙏
Bro I swear these are the same photos every year… like there’s zero difference… it’s the same before and after pics… look at the 10vs11, 11vs12, 12vs13… etc
@@KNHarrison125 i had an issues with samsung phones the exynos versions , and its a bit hard to get the snapdragoon version in my country and will be out of warranty .. so me relatively more on the 13 pro max .. but i need to check more comparsions to pay on the right choice
My iPhone ProMax 12 was supposed to be the best camera empowering me to take great pictures. LOL. Couldn’t tell the diff between ProMax 12 and previous iPhone versions.
I also got the iPhone 13 pro max, 128gb in white/silver. i did an unboxing and test video on my channel! if anyone has been debating on getting it..... GET IT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! i love mine and it was worth every penny, lol. i love these kinds of videos, thanks for sharing!

damnit why do your videos only have few views and likes :< you and your team* have always been creative and unbiased in your reviews. your contents are really good so i hope a lot more people go here! great vid!
Fact Check, Apple has upgraded their image sensor every single phone upgrade. Just because the sensors “specs” themselves doesn’t change is only 1/5 things they can upgrade. The light sensor can be bigger, the light sensor can be smaller but more efficient, the light sensor can utilize new light Technologies like from 8to X, the sensor can have more MP, Bigger Aperture, Focal Length, Depth of Lens, Positioning, type of glass, color processing unit, and of course the upgrades to the processor directly effect the upgrade to the camera itself and how it functions as well as the world class CPU, as well as the little changes they make like the transitions from one camera to another through positioning/mechanical zoom. So yeah, they don’t just leave the same 12MP camera over and over again.
It's NOT zoom but rather *telephoto.* The iPhone 13 Pro has a wide, an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? Wide-angle zoom lens are a thing too and have _nothing_ to do with telephoto.
I am vividly amazed how you do this Micheal i might say ONE OF THE BEST comparison of 2 powerful camera's that Iphone have . You review it in a awesome way that a not tech person like me will fully understand. Keep this awesome work and say Hi 😘 to me to chai she nailed those posses by the way hahaha 💜♥️ stay safe and looking forward for this awesome review. Can i make a request? can you do ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY comparison with google pixel 6 pro when it launch? THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥️💜🇵🇭🔥🏳️🌈💯
hi guys, just adding my 20 cents...great video btw! so i finally bought the iphone 12 pro Max today and im shocked at how bad the selfie camera is indoors, even under a lot of light, it's unusable for high quality vlogging, which is what I got it for, the 4k video is a joke and all photos with no exception have this weird sepia effect, has anyone else experienced this with the phone? ive done all possible changes, still no luck. even my old iphone 7 takes better pix and much nicer vids.
I keep hearing reviewers of the 13 pro/pro max say that the buttons (volume & lock) on the 13 pro/pro max are lower than they are on the 12 pro/pro max. This is certainly not the case with my 13/12 pro max’s. The buttons on my 13 pro max are slightly higher up on the phone than they are on my 12 pro max. What gives?!
Things that made me sad: 1.) It takes a month or two before new iphones are available in the PH 2.) My iphone 12 pro max’s battery life is so bad after the 14.6 and above updates. ios15 “kinda” improved it, but even with medium use, the battery doesn’t last me a full day like it used to. My battery health is 91% just for 11 months of use. That’s why the iphone 13 pro max is so tempting because of the bigger battery and better cameras. Always loved your content Josh! Blue is also my fav color! 😂 also grew up watching Voltron!
Yea your iPhone battery sounds defective. Unless you use your phone 20 hours a day 7 days a week there is no reason your battery health should be less than 95%. Ive had my 12 pro max since November 2020 and I’m still sitting at 97% health and I’m averaging 6 hours of screen time each day.
