Sort by:

204g ? This thing is heavier than some big flagships despite compact size , what's the point then ? Chipset problem seems like trend in 2021 flagships and i expect battery be even worse if apple rolls out update disable HRR limitations

Expected more

    IpsDisplay, 14 Oct 2021Alright so the iPhone battery life still sucks unless you g... moreIncorrect.

    The iPhone 13 pro scored 16.5 hours on web browsing and 17.5 hours on video playback. That's 34 hours total.

    On the other hand, the redmi note 10 pro, one of the best phones in battery life, only scored 14.5 hours in web browsing and 17.5 hours in video playback.

    3G talk time was roughly equal on both.

    Keep in mind the iPhone is using a 3100 mah battery while the redmi is using a 5020 mah battery. The redmi has over 60% greater battery capacity, yet the iPhone still beats it or ties it in the 3 tests.

      SadSoul, 14 Oct 2021I expected batterylife to be way more.Better web-browsing and video time than 12 Pro Max. It's only the talk time that drops its overall battery rating.

In the 3x digital zoom image the person on the sign doesn't wear a hat, but in the 3x tele image the person on the sign does wear a hat! It's crazy what nonsense Apple's deep fusion produces. It shows how dangerous machine learning is for photography.

                A god, 14 Oct 2021Since iphone 7 they have one handed mode Stop lyingI am not talking about one handed mode on the keyboard, I am talking about the entire content of the display shrinking down for one handed mode.

                The choice of how much it would shrink is only available on android.
                On iPhones, especially the pro Max model which is too wide, the reachability mode on iOS isn't as effective as we can only shrink the screen from top, not from the sides.
                With the one handed mode on Android, everything is accessible easily no matter how tall or wide the phone.

                Yet another implementation where Android is more polished.

                  you've had the x70 pro+ in for review since 3rd of october and that review is not yet up, but the iphones keep coming one after another!! wtf gsma?? there are other phones you know besides the iphone! and the x70 pro+ does happen to be a very well rounded phone many people expect its review!!

                          Which is too much for any type of 1 handed use unless your hands are really large.

                            "The chipset is prone to heavy throttling under max load."

                            Interesting they don't mention this as a con with every phone that has this issue, and sadly in 2021 a lot of them have this issue.

                            Anyhow the battery life is actually good, the stand-by is the killer here and while on paper this could be a 2 day phone, because of poor stand-by it is not, but someone that uses the phone a lot and charges it every day will have a lot of fun getting it empty.

                            I do wonder why? Sure the Pro Max has a bigger battery, but I would have exoect the 13 Pro be around 100 hour mark BECAUSE the Pro Max is so good, yet for some strange reason it is "mwah" on the standby (personally I would call it bad).

                            Think about this, my 2 year old phone has same same endurance but with better stand-by, and that is with Android.

                            So unless while testing iOS of the carrier coverage had some bugs, or apple messed this up, whatever it may be the endurance difference between 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max is much bigger than I have expected in the end.

                            Not that I am getting this phone, I am just a tech fan that follows any news I like to read about, and after reading the battery reviews of the Pro Max I did expect more from the regular Pro.

                                The sixth low-light image with 3x digital zoom (night mode off) suffers from wrong(!) detail when you compare it with the 3x low light image of the tele camera (night mode). Look at the holes!! Probably due to machine learning.

                                  Well, I think the battery life still is very good and much better than in previous years. The 3G talk time is indeed lower but I feel like that's less important nowadays.
                                  The video and web tests are above the previous 12 Pro Max! (16:44 13Pro vs 14:13 12ProMax and 18:20 13Pro vs 15:16 12ProMax)

                                    Alright so the iPhone battery life still sucks unless you get the pro max
