Hi, thinking of getting ip 13 pm for amazing battery life but not keen on its weight and wide size. 13 seems good but not sure if I can go back to smaller phone as I am presently using s21 ultra.

So, what I would like to check is...is there anyone here who got 13 pro but wish he had got the 13 pm instead and vice versa.

I purchased the pro max (was previously using the iPhone 12), found it to be too big and gave the phone to a family member, and I went for the pro instead. But now I miss the bigger screen and bigger battery life, so going back to the pro max.
Having used both for a couple of days, the weight difference between the pro and pro max is really not that discernible in the hands (imo).

I’ve been on Plus since 6 and Max since XS and never looked back, so it’s 5.5, 5.8, 6.5 and now 6.7.

went back to 13 Pro from 11 Pro Max
wife did the same too, she initially took the 13 Pro Max but found it too bulky, probably due to the additional heft and width

Me. I had the 12 pro and 13 pro. Liked the 13 pro so much that I upsize to 13 pro max. I also currently have the s21 ultra. If you are used to s21 ultra size, you should aim for the pro max. And the difference in battery life between the pro and pro max is also very discernable.

my history is
iphone X , love the size so much, dislike the battery life though.
then change to
Xs Max, size is a bit too big but still manageable, battery life is much better than the X
then change to
11 Pro , love the size again, but once again battery life is quite dissapointing.
then change to
12 pro max due to better camera than the pro model, love the battery life soo much, but it's really really big, and it does bother me.
when the 13 was announced, i saw the camera specs are the same between the pro and promax so no brainer , i bought the 13 Pro
and loving the size, as far as batterylife i can't say anything because it's only few days out, but from apple tech specs, it has almost the same battery life as 12 pro max, so it should be sufficient for me.
the 13 pro max will definitely give much better battery life, but my pinky are too sore to use any "max" model 🤪

I was using the Plus models til XS Max and was considering to change to 13 Pro instead. I went to compare the screens of 12P and 12PM and realise that I can't go back to the smaller screen on Pro model. Happy user of 13PM now and the huge size doesn't really bother me. I can still grab onto it with one hand, just that abit of struggle sometimes when typing using one hand. It's a trade off I'm willing to take. :)

Having a 7.2” phone but can still go back to 6.7”
Heck I even have a 6.53” phone
So size does not really matter as long as the battery life is excellent and the built is premium
13PM is bulky but it is not an issue for people with big hands

it is another league of iPhone to me
See whether can it lasts me till the next successor

I went from X to 11PM to 13PM. Slight increase in size but used to such sized phone. The increase in screen size is so good for my photography and videography, at no disadvantage due to the powerful battery too.

Unless you must have one handed operation, then go for smaller sized 13s.

From 11 pro to 13 pro. PM version is too huge on my hands and I figured out I will probably have difficulty using my phone on one hands

I think the pro is just nice to hold in my hand compared to max. Though I love the mini size but the camera is not as good as pro

I came from 11 pro to 13pm. Other than can’t text and send text with one hand, the size and weight don’t really bother me. Better screen res, bigger battery is really a upgrade for me. And even when I’m using 11 pro, sometimes to type faster I also use both hands. So now with bigger screen it’s even easier to type.

I went from X to XS Max to 11 PM to 12 PM and now to 13P.

I think I do miss the larger screen a little, but overall the size of the P is so much better. Think of this, if apple made an iPad mini sized phone, sure it would be better screen and battery wise, but it’s so bulky. A few days with Pro, and you won’t miss the PM screen size. You would love the weight/size forever.

Having said that, both are equally good. If you want the biggest screen, go for PM.
