For such usage, iPhone 13 is good enough.

iPhone 13 Pro is basically slightly more quality of life upgrades such as 120hz screen (which improves battery life when reading or non-intensive usage), stainless steel body, additional Zoom lens, larger camera sensor, LiDAR, etc.

Wondering if it is worth going for the 13 or save some bucks with the 12? Won't be my main phone but I might play with the iPhone camera a lot, apparently uploads to IG looks better via iPhone than Android.

I went with the iPhone 13 as my secondary phone (photo below) just because of the much better battery performance over the 12, Sensor Shift OIS camera, and Cinematic Video mode. No regrets. ☺️

May I ask if anyone has both the Iphone 12 (regular) vs Iphone 13 (regular).

I'd like to know if its worth the extra price difference if we just talk about the differences. I am interested in the portrait video (How on earth did Apple last this long without it?), but I think some paid apps can do this already.

I am a not a gamer, I dont watch videos but I do a lot of FB and browsing and whatsapping. Most important to me is the camera because I am shutter bug and when travelling and holiday I depend on the phone to keep my memories.

Other than that does it make sense to pay RM400 more?

Is it really worth that much to have 1 more year of software support? I mean as of today IP7 is stop support but I'm pretty sure there are copies out there with refreshed batteries that can still do a decent job as a phone and camera.

Cinematic Video on iPhone 13 series is awesome. I always turn it on especially when taking videos of my kids.

And if you are comparing with 3rd party apps that does this, Apple’s own implementation is on a different level. It’s just way better.

Thanks for replying....
I am not really "upgrading"...I already have an Iphone 12 and NEED to buy another one for my wife for her in progress to kaput Android phone. She can stick to a mid ranger android but these days I am not fond of Chinese OEMs, and I will not spend 3k for a Samsung. I only had good will towards Huawei (of P20 and Mate 20) and we know its a broken path.
Whatever happened to Korean phones, they driving themselves to extinction.

So my budget is circa 3.5k for a new phone, if I buy an IP13 I will use it and get an "upgrade" and pass my IP12 to her. She cannot take a good picture even if Andy Warhol was standing next to her. So no point for her to carry the better camera.

The question is whether I should buy another twin ip12 for both of us or I get to enjoice new tech hehe... drool.gif

My 13 month IP12 is at 93% battery health, once it passed the 6 month it steadily drop till now, 1% per month. I use a very low power charger, charge overnight and have the optimized charging on. Perhaps this is not really the best use method, not sure anyone has better way. I will not charge my phone to 80% and stop there though, that to me will not last the day as I usually use ~80% of battery per day.

Battery health is affected greatly by how you use your phone. If you are using it constantly for 10 hours a day , especially gaming or GPS, it will quickly degrade no matter how good you are at unplugging your phone after charging up to 80%.

In that regard, just go for the iPhone 13.

I can tell from the way you post, your heart is already there.

Don’t get another iPhone 12 and regret. 😇

The iPhone 13 Mini is an excellent buy. Battery life much better than the 12 mini, which makes the 13 Mini a proper usable everyday phone. 👍🏼

anyone using Uniq combat case? I want to ask how much front display edge lip that there without a tempered glass applied? Is it all round lip?

Any cases with drop protection that is under RM100?

Already bought your iPhone 13?

You can consider XDoria Raptic Tempered Glass case too. Feels more solid than those plastic or TPU cases, IMO.
