      Such as smaller Notch, WiFi 6e, Snapdragon X60 5G modem, 6P Ultrawide lens, 120hz LTPO Promotion displays (only available for the IPhone 13 pro models), reverse wireless charging, better battery life, better heat management for magsafe wattage, and 25w watt wired charger!

          However, once the IPhone 13 is announced, the lenses on the pro max are larger, meaning that it could capture brilliant detailed pictures!

                  captain fokou, 14 Aug 2021And that's were you are wrong. If you are a photograph... moreListening to the naysayers is pointless, I doubt that the naysayers will ever learn cause they talk trash like a whiny baby, which I seriously agree with your opinion, even though the cameras, battery life and overall performances are certainly more efficient than the previous iphones!

                    [deleted post]” They got beat by OnePlus 8t in blind tests, that's how bad the camera is for a flagship.”

                    Blind tests? Seriously? :D brightest and most saturated photos always win blind tests. They have nothing to do with how good or bad camera is. If photo looks natural and is color accurate, it won’t win blind test, because reality looks ”boring” compared to saturated photo.

If you are a photographer you wouldn't not care spending a bit more time to get a better shot. The consistency the iPhones have is good for the average person who wants to just take a picture. Also an enthusiast about photography almost certainly would want to use the pro mode, something Apple does not offer and you need to download a paid app. Don't listen to fanboys, if you are not one.

                      And in case you say anything about mkbhd, I don't care about his opinion. He almost never test phones outside America.

                        Of course there is, but fortunately, everyone has their own opinions and feelings about the iphone 13, but if you're someone who has the means, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will be your choice, but don't expect changes for the size and design, it may remain unchanged, but you get 120hz LTPO display, Bigger Battery life, and more!

                              Forcing people to buy extras? Removing accessories Correct.

                              Overpriced products? Not your segment, not going to touch cr***y Xiaomi.

                              Impossible to repair phones? iPhones score a 6/10 in iFixIt, higher than current Samsung flagships which normally score a 3/10.

                              Hype lies etc. blame that single guy who hypes so much stuff.

                                But considering there are not a lot of improvements in the iPhone 13 (regular models especially), then I expect a price drop like the Xr to 11 did. At least $50.

Getting such a great results so effortlessly.

                                        These are low tier specs. These sensors doesn't match 1/2.55" and not even close 1/1.76".

                                        Also tne thing Samsung is lacking is bigger ultra wide which is the same size as the regular iPhone 12 main camera.
