Finally jump ship to iPhone 13 pro after years of android disappointment. chose graphite coz silver out of stock. I thought silver ain't popular. Blue is popular since last year

-Turn off true tone, can't stand it.
-The tap back button where applicable is at the top of screen, need to get used to that and android 'back' function is better
-No haptic on typing, will wait whether to download gboard
-color accuracy better than oneplus 8t, haven't try using it outdoor yet
-unlocking thru passcode is a bit of hassle, will try faceid later
-so far no issues with hardware/software. Stability which I needed. Android phone makes you feel like beta tester.

Swipe left instead to move back

Currently using Gboard and I think it's very good

Faceid is one of the best things ever, except when you are outdoors with a mask

Been using Samsung flagships until recently as well, very happy with my phone
*
In some apps, like WhatsApp during viewing media and settings, you have to tap the back button. The swipe left gesture won’t work

Later I try faceid

Pair with apple watch la bro. Ez to unlock 😂
I also using gboard as used to it during android days

Next wish list smile.gif
But you shouldn’t need another device to unlock phone better in the first place. No device is perfect after all

welcome to the club smile.gif graphite is also one of the popular classic colour, I would say its the popular colour along with the colour of the year in almost every model thus far...

yea I disable truetone the first thing too even on iPads lol, can't tahan the yellowish screen lol..I didn't use the back tap feature coz I've been living with the assistive touch virtual button over the years..and I only use it for Lock Screen/volume/ screenshot..and it was a very important feature back then due to home button durability, so its used mainly for the virtual home button function smile.gif
*
Thank you. smile.gif I turned virtual button on at first. Then, disabled it coz interfere while watching videos. Using back tap to Lock Screen now.

When you view media, u can just swipe down to exit.

Unlock with Apple Watch is quite magical in this era, but the watch has a lot more uses too, a fashion piece (with the straps), health monitor, extension of your phone that follows you everywhere (im not as reliant on my phone now since i can check/reply/dismiss notification on my watch)
i know right, notification on the watch is a big thing, made me use my phone way less now.
i thought im the only one that use assistive touch to screenshot/lock my phone haha
*
Thanks. It works for WhatsApp media and I haven’t get used to reachability function. Better than android to access one hand use function.

I got to turn back on assistive touch to lock phone. Double back tap with case on, tricky

Will check what’s special about Apple Watch

Double tap near the bottom or the right of the camera area makes it easier

Hahaha. Weird but It works. Thanks a lot

Still need the assistive touch for screenshot convenience rather than using the physical buttons

After a month of using my iPhone 13PM, I feel like this phone is quite small in my hands. Or have I gotten used to it already with the chunky size?

I’m also using a very thin 0.33mm case so it feels naked but wrapped like a protection rubber. brows.gif
*
I prefer smaller phone. The size of mini is good. If only it comes with 6gb ram

QUOTE(eyez98 @ Dec 21 2021, 11:33 PM)
I also feel the size is ok. Just the weight heavier than my previous phone a lot. Holding it before going to sleep, makes my wrist tired smile.gif
*
What’s your previous phone? So far okay for me coming from My previous phone was below 200g. I guess the extra camera in pro makes it heavier?

Pro max is too heavy and big for me. I rather bring power bank which is still optional choice

I limit frame rate to 60hz just to feel what it’s like using previous iPhone, oh my lord what have I been missing for years? Scrolling feels jittery and draggy, how did my eyes so used to that?

Really can’t go back to 60hz displays now.
*
I’ve been using pro motion for 5 days and also use back my old one plus 8t. Lol what a joke oneplus phone which is last year flagship.

I tried the limit frame rate after reading your post, omg terrible. That’s why I always disabled the animation in my previous iPhone or iPad. Now I don’t need to.

for 13 pro few days usage..so far no lag, no force phone restart, learned iPhone gestures day1 which I don’t even use for android, smoothness in all apps and each screen swipe. Iphone is so boring coz everything just works.

Custom ringtones need a bit more work with pc, chrome extension, iTunes and GarageBand though.

I'm having colour uniformity issue d with my 13pm

The whites on the right appear to be pinkish on low brightness. It seems to dissappear at 15% brightness above.

Anyone know how long would it take for a warranty claim
. Only ever claimed for an apple watch, it took less than a week

Also would they replace the screen or replace the phone.

Hard to capture on camera but it's noticeable with the eyes.

I just use apple product after some time so I’m not a pro. Maybe ask authorised apple dealer. Before that maybe backup your phone or prepare a backup phone if this is your main one when you send for repair

Maybe I am one of those with insensitive eyes. There’s no discernible difference between 60hz and 120hz to my naked eyes when I tested it in Apple store. I turned off the the 120hz refresh rate on my MiPad 5 to save battery cos I can’t tell the difference. My 👀 bad bad
*
Me too didn’t notice the difference until compare side by side with 60hz screen and few days usage. Also, not all apps are working with dynamic frame rate or 120hz anyway

I don’t have faster refresh rate screen Pc monitor either to compare

in fact, i just sold my iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB for RM3900 last month, which is a drop of 27% as compared to the ori price (RM 5300) after 1 year
*
It’s normal depreciation for iPhone, I checked across FB and Carousell. Heck, android phones depreciation are worst.

Sell used android phone is like begging ppl to buy

For iPhone 13 pro, besides the okay battery life with pro motion screen and 6GB RAM , I think this model still will still be desirable even after 3-4years

iPhone 13 pro, the sides really finger print magnet. Use naked, looks ugly. Using spigen clear case and since mine is graphite don’t look standout and also the camera gather dusts too
Maybe I don’t know how to appreciate stainless steel frame.The glass back build is real good and premium. Won’t notice the glass.

The mic is good even using on loud speaker. The loud speaker is not as loud as android flagship. WhatsApp app hanged twice. Unlocking phone with Passcode is old school.

Looking for other phone cases now

Finally got my 13 Pro after following this thread from V1. Was on Note 20 and then 12 Mini before this. The 13 Pro is really heavy. Can’t imagine the Max

It’s still lighter than high end androids out there, especially coming from 12 mini. You’ll accustomed to it soon and no not heavy until have hand/arm pain. I watch shows with my phone but don’t hold for hours, still bad for health

Hi guys it’s been 1 month I’ve been using my Iphone 13 Pro Max. I’ve realise that my screen are more yellowish compare with my friends (no dark mode or True Tone)in full brightness but after I turn off the brightness mine are slightly brighter then hers. Please advice guys. Hmm

Go to Apple authorised shop? They’ll be more familiar to assist you.

Anyone frustrates of the dust gathered at the cameras? What do you guys do? Frustrating to clean the cameras area every week.
