5 More Thoughts On The iPhone 13 Pro And Pro Max
HWM Singapore|November 2021
For the past three weeks, I have been switching between the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max to see if I can uncover more things about them that I didn’t in my review. Specifically, I wanted to find out what battery life is really like in more typical day-to-day use and if there’s anything to the cameras that I might have missed out on in my initial testing. And while I did discover some new things, the findings in my review still stand and I still think the new iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are fantastic phones. They may not have any ground-breaking new features but they are probably better than you may think.

5 More Thoughts On The iPhone 13 Pro And Pro Max

01 Battery life is a lot better

This year’s phones are thicker and heavier in large part because they have larger batteries. Compared to their predecessors, the iPhone 13 Pro’s battery is 11% larger while the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s is a whopping 18.5% larger.

This translates to significant real-world improvements. The iPhone 13 Pro could comfortably last a 16hour day with around four hours of screen time with 20-30% of battery remaining. The iPhone 13 Pro Max was even more impressive. For the same amount of screen time, I typically ended my day with 40-50% battery remaining.

You have to try really, really hard to try to kill the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s battery in a single day. As for the iPhone 13 Pro, the days when I feel that I might run out of batteries before the end of the day were those that I had to drive around a lot. I use wireless CarPlay and that puts a serious strain on the battery. If I didn’t, it would easily last me a full day.
