Pre-booking for I Phone 16 series has already started. Apple introduced their new design for I Phones in 2019 for I Phone 11 series and still they are using the same design with small changes for the I Phone 16 series which is launched in September 2024. Samsung also following the same and they are using the same design for all their new phones from flag ship to budget.
Here we are giving you 3 year used review of I Phone 13 pro and it is still worth in 2024. From Launch date September 2021 to till the date I am using I Phone 13 pro as my personal phone. When I shifted from my Old, I Phone 11 to I Phone 13 pro, my idea was to use I Phone 13 pro as my personal phone and for my work. Before I Phone 13 pro, I was using I Phone 11 as my personal phone and a Samsung Phone for my work. As I Phone 13 is having only small battery capacity of 3095mAh which is giving me less than 8-hour battery backup, I need to charge my phone twice a day. Other than the Battery backup, phone is giving me excellent performance from day 1 to till the date. Because of less battery backup, I decided to take Samsung S22 Ultra which launched after 5 months from launch date of I Phone 13 series for my work and continued to use I Phone 13 pro as my personal phone for taking personal photos, using personal E-mails, Apple pay etc.. and transferred all official documents to Samsung S22 Ultra. Now I have changed the Samsung S22 Ultra to Samsung S24 Ultra. On my comparison with S24 Ultra which is the newest model of Samsung Flagship S series, I Phone 13 pro provides almost same Camera Quality, video quality and have other better features.
When comparing to latest models with I Phone 13 pro major upgrades are dynamic island in I Phone 14 pro and newer models instead of Notch in I Phone 13 and previous models and I Phone 15 series is having USB C type charging. As I am a normal user, these are the difference which I will feel, if I use new I Phones. In short, I Phone 13 pro is still a good choice for someone who need to use a decent iPhone pro models with better price.
