iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have some differences, but also have a lot more similarities than anything else. I go over what is different and what is the same between iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. I help you decide which iPhone 13 Pro model is the right choice for you. I compare the price, the display, talk about the camera and much more. #iPhone13Pro #iPhone13ProMax #Apple Anker Nano Pro - https://ankerfast.club/3hwTTC1 ————————————————————————— Watch Band I use on Amazon - https://amzn.to/2Kpb7zX Screen Protectors on Amazon: http://geni.us/7rcHc Apple Case I use on Amazon: http://geni.us/BNXPOn Check AirPods Pro Prices - https://amzn.to/38hE8rE Check AirPods 2 Prices - https://amzn.to/2TwhKGw ------------------------------------------------------------------ Time Codes 00:00 - Introduction 00:19 - Price and Storage 00:50 - Colors 01:06 - Design and Size 01:53 - Display 03:14 - Battery 04:58 - Charging 05:16 - Everything that is the same 05:34 - Cameras 06:32 - IP Rating 06:48 - Which should you choose? 08:34 - Conclusion 09:03 - Outro ------------------------------------------------------------------ Gear I use: 📷 CAMERA: https://bhpho.to/3idRl9u 🎤 Microphone - https://amzn.to/2JYatZl ------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone 13 Pro - Unboxing and Everything You Wanted To Know - /watch/EoIc5ayKEJPKc iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini - Unboxing, Setup and First Look - /watch/8--X9N8Q-lsQX watchOS 8 is Out! - What’s New? - /watch/YoOqe6jTgmbTq iPadOS 15 is Out! - What’s New? - /watch/IVTfDV44hsR4f iOS 15 is Out! - WHat's New? - /watch/s29=t&gjE7vhJ02dO0= iPhone 13 Buyer's Guide - Should You Upgrade? - /watch/s86=t&skH6i1t23zQ2= iOS 15 RC is Out! - What’s New? - /watch/YUgfHXYjmnnjf iOS 14.8 is Out! - What’s New? - /watch/QV5IP25duDpdI iOS 15 - The Last Beta Review - Is It Ready? - /watch/MPUw6hMm3PKmw iOS 15 - Top Features Now - /watch/AQ0oZ0zWhzkWo iPhone 13 - Everything to Expect - /watch/gow1s_1zBPNz1 iOS 14.7.1 is Out! - What’s New? - /watch/4ar7zR8pyLrp7 Apple MagSafe Battery Pack - Unboxing and Everything You Wanted To Know - 4K - /watch/YObAcx0vmR3vA How to Clean and Disinfect iPhone properly - /watch/0OM4uTXbu7qb4 5 AirPod Tips and Features You Might Not Know /watch/A20geMWDazGDg ——————————————————— Support ZOLLOTECH on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2jxmglN Outro Music: “Halos” by Yung Logos - Available in the YouTube Create Audio Library --------------------------------------------------- Wallpaper - https://bit.ly/3mgdt8N Wallpaper on Pinterest - https://bit.ly/3mgdt8N By @Hk3ToN ---------------------------------------------------- Website - http://www.zollotech.com Follow me on Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/zollotech Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/zollotech Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aaronzollo Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/zollotech Telegram - https://t.me/zollotechchat Discord - https://discord.gg/J7DBww8 ——————————————————— [DISCLOSURES] This post may contain affiliate links, which help Aaron / Zollotech with a commission if you make a purchase. ——Subscribe to stay up to date with the channel! —— Subscribe - /user/zollotech Make sure to subscribe to the channel & select the bell push notifications (click the BELL icon next to the subscribe button) to be notified immediately when I release a new video.

@zollotech3 years ago Which phone are you using this year or upgrading to? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated. 142
@

@gillt92243 years ago I went with just the regular sized Pro. I tried the Max at the local Apple store and found it a little too big for my hands. I upgraded from an iPhone 8 so this is a huge improvement for me. 355
@

@arca52003 years ago Been watching your channel ever since the 13 rollout. Honestly, the best channel covering these things out there. Straight to the point, very informative and clear. Amazing work ethic too. 43

@TheRealJohnJ102 years ago My wife and I just upgraded to the 13 Pro and the 13 promax… Your channel is always my go to when I need to make a decision… All of your contact is greatly appreciated… Keep up the great work. 2
@

@GearReviewDepot3 years ago Can't wait for my Pro Max to arrive later this month. Apparently it's sitting in a shipping container off the coast waiting to be unloaded. This'll be my first iPhone ever, so the anticipation is intense. 🤣🙃 301
@

@yashsingavi51673 years ago The way you’ve shot the scenes is just phenomenal !! 19
@

@JDRos3 years ago I wanted the Pro’s size. But I can’t give up the Pro Max’s battery. 248
@

@nathan_anotherunner3 years ago Upgraded to the 13 pro graphite from the 11 pro and it arrived on launch day, really like it so far, specifically the macro camera. Great video! 1
@

@alyhalym66442 years ago exact video I've been searching for. thankyou so much, this helped me💚 1
@

@Braden123 years ago I feel like the Pro is the perfect size. 603
@

@armen79323 years ago Love my 13 Pro Max. Definitely couldn’t go down to the smaller screen now. I’m on day 2 of no charging and I’ve been to the gym twice as well as normal use. I’m now on 22% and it hasn’t been charged since 10:20am on Saturday! ... 67
@

@anthonyscott24183 years ago I’ve been watching a lot of your videos on the iPhone 12 series and the 13 series. Like the way you break things down and show how to get to different settings. Had the 12 pro max and this year went with the 13 pro max In graphite love the battery life. ...
@

@thulaninala46223 years ago Great video as always, thank you! I’m currently using the 11 pro and I’ve ordered the 13 pro max and so looking forward to it. Pity I live in South Africa and we’re on ‘African time’ and that means I have no idea when I will eventually get it. ... 2
@

@darrene.mathews55663 years ago I am deeply pleased with my 13 Pro. It’s been an awesome phone so far, with noticeably improved battery life. The camera upgrades are also excellent for both photos and videos. 85
@

@herb6013 years ago I went from the 12 to 13 Pro Max. Love it. The bigger size is perfect for me since I never use a phone one-handed. Great review Aaron. 78
@

@juniorfred91103 years ago Amazing , all areas covered .thanks 👍🏻
@

@luckydube51543 years ago Very Excellent comparison thank you so much and of course I gave you a thumbs up 1
@

@FireRagex3 years ago Aside from the phones, I love the new zoom angles for this video ! Awesome ! 3
@

@arc77443 years ago I got the 13 pro from the Verizon store on launch day. There were only a few people in line. I got the 13 pro because when I held the 12 pro max it felt way too big and heavy like a brick compared to the previous max iPhones. I wanted it originally but it just feels comically huge and hard to hold with one hand ... 11
@

@WeOnCodeine3 years ago Another amazing video keep up the good work Aron 1
@

@m.b.5572 years ago For me, handling large phones like the pro max or s22 ultra only become an issue depending on the size of the case that I put on it. Since I use thinner cases, the added bulk is minimal. I used to prefer the larger, more rugged cases because they also included a kickstand most of the time, but once magsafe and it's accessories were introduced, I can't see myself using those type of cases anymore. Weight in the pocket is the only real issue now. ... 9
@

@ZizoGFX3 years ago I have tried both and kept the Pro, it’s just that the Max is too wide to use comfortably and the extra weight is very noticeable and tiring even after a few minutes of using the phone. Battery life on the Pro is just excellent, yes the Max is quite a bit better but it’s just not enough to tip the scale in it’s favor. Of course that’s my own preference. ... 284
@

@metalninja1173 years ago Ended up going with the 13 Mini this year. I wanted the smallest 13 I could get and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! 2
@

@2160michael2 years ago Excellent video. You've helped me decide to go with the Pro as opposed to the Pro Max 2
@

@jdg93593 years ago I upgraded to a 13 pro from a 12 pro for the battery. Was pleasantly surprised with the 120hz display. I noticed difference immediately. I regret the 12 pro upgrade from the 11 pro midnight green. Loved that color. But Im loving this sierra blue. I’ll be keeping this 13 pro for years to come. ... 21
@

@josephw69773 years ago I’m honestly so glad I picked up the iPhone 13 pro this year. If you’ve got the money to get the pro this year I’d 100% recommend it. Brighter screen, 120hz, better cameras and battery life automatically make it worth it for me. Loving mine so far! ... 128
@

@quick.easy.eat233 years ago This was perfect for me thank you so much for sharing this video! Stay safe and blessed 💕 newbie here with Bell! 😁 1
@

@foodenthusiast24993 years ago Thank you for the review - I will be exchanging the pro max to pro today. 1
@

@tigoat23 years ago Upgrading from a 12 Mini to the 13 Pro was perfect for me. I really liked my Mini, but the camera (especially the macro capabilities) drew me in, the ProMotion display sealed the deal, and the battery life is just a crazy good bonus! iPhone 14 Pro will have to be spectacular in order to pry this out of my pocket. ... 20
@

@Boulderplus2 years ago Very good review. Clearly you know what you are talking about. Keep up the good work!
@

@jasongates233 years ago Did the pro Max this year and I was a little worried it was going to be to big but now that I’ve been using it for a few weeks I can tell the difference, in fact I find it easier to type on and the battery life is a dream. 40
@

@fracturedmind81242 years ago I’m so glad Apple didn’t cripple the smaller Pro. The Max has gotten so big and almost unwieldy. I tried the Max but I found it almost impossible to use, although the display is gorgeous. I got the smaller Pro and I absolutely love it. ... 6

@masonintrater3 years ago Great video man ! Best video quality on YouTube. Even on my 13 pro max I still watch every video lol 1

@antonfundberg64463 years ago I love this dude. Best Tech-Tuber at the end of the day to be short :) 1
@

@martymartin70103 years ago Came from 10s max to 13 pro max…. Great upgrade and the battery jump is remarkable 11
@

@larryb67593 years ago I didn't think I would upgrade my Iphone 11 this year, but the deal I got from a new carrier was to good to pass up. I went for the Iphone 13 Pro Max with 256 GB of storage so I could try out the new Pro Res. Love the battery life! ... 23
@

@925toothfairy2 years ago I went from the pro max too the pro to the mini, which I’m still using and loving it size does matter, battery I can go all day until 11/12 pm/am, great quality pics and videos I’m able to edited videos with no problem and storage I got 256gb don’t knock it till you try it , love your videos so descriptive and knowledgeable 😊 ... 1
@

@garymahan33463 years ago I went from 12 pro max to 13 pro and I love it! The small difference in screen size to me just isn’t worth the extra weight and size. I get the same battery life as the 12 pro max had in my 13 pro. 80
@

@Bellairvideo3 years ago Great content comparison, many thanks.
No reviewers seem to cover the advantages or dis advantage upgrading to a 256gb vs 128gb for the pro res video. I have been told you need the 256 to process pro res footage & i wonder, as an every day user (XR) why i would even need pro res…. Unless?? ... 21
@

@PossibleJothamChin3 years ago I always like your videos in the first 5 second😉 I know they will be good 1
@

@claudiaquilizapa64363 years ago This was extremely helpful in making my decision. I am still using the iphoneX! I can now purchase an upgrade. Thanks! 1
@

@jonathankeay34113 years ago I was on the 11 pro max which at times I had felt was just too big, although yes the battery was awesome. I have gone for the 13 Pro this time around and I have to say it was bang on the right decision. With the 13 pro max being just a tad bigger than the 11 PM I decided it was a no brainer to try the 13 pro. I have to say its made tons of difference as its just feels like the perfect size and battery has not been an issue. And the camera is just ridiculous - Awesome ... 127
@

@deerpark24392 years ago I’ve owned both the 11 Pro Max and now with the 13 Pro Max. The 11 I owned for two years. I bought the 13 for specifically for the camera system, which I thought the lens flare would be better on the 13, but it's not; they are both bad. And I like the rounded grip on the 11 better, but overall I like the 13 better. One question I have is there any way I can record pro res off the 13 directly to a external device so I don't use up so much storage? ... 3
@

@iTalktech19853 years ago I went from the 11 pro to the 12 mini to the 13 pro. They finally made this with pro features and brought me back. 1
@

@dnaalex173 years ago I upgraded from the iPhone X to the 13 Pro three days ago. Everything about this phone is improved except for Haptic Touch, I’ll definitely miss 3D Touch. 26
@

@KeithAinsley3 years ago Did something hadn’t done in awhile. Went from max to pro today. Was easier with all hardware specs being the same. Felt it would be nicer to be able to store in pockets other than the back pocket. Besides just having to adjust to using the smaller pro everything works great. ... 27
@

@simplyjay07483 years ago Thinking about getting my mom the pro max thanks for the vid appreciate it! 💯
@

@revoltzzz11783 years ago Went with a silver iPhone 13 Pro a week ago.
Im loving the ergonomics of this perfect size, plus the amazing battery life to death! 😍 6
@

@daniela57483 years ago I came from the regular 11 and I love the 13 pro … it’s actually a little smaller than the 11 - not as wide and a little shorter. So it fits my small hands even better … And I love the weight of it … Feels premium 30
@

@Nick-bu2hr3 years ago thanks great video . straight up aping into the 13 pro max
@

@mic78183 years ago I went from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro and I am obsessed. I love it so much. I don’t think I can see myself going back to a Max size. 41
@

@VGM-R3 years ago Used to have the 12 pro max but since the pros are the same in specs I decided to try both 13 pro and pro max in store and I fell in love with the pro. The max was too bulky and kinda ugly the 13 pro looks slim and beautiful. I bought the 13 pro and I’m loving it. The 120hz display makes SUCH a big difference. Trying to older iphones feels so sluggish and jello. ... 8
@

@daigle20072 years ago I upgraded yesterday from an iPhone 11 64gb to a iPhone 13 pro max 512gb simply because of the size. I love the screen real estate! Plus it’s a beautiful phone. Worth the upgrade. 2
@

@alvirahman66502 years ago Planning to upgrade from the iPhone XR to the iPhone 13 pro , I believe the pro size is much more suitable for me, and I’m not much of a heavy user I don’t need the extra battery life. 3
@

@EJRACE763 years ago I upgraded to a 13 Pro Max in Gold. Blue is nice too!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 14
@

@gdargdar913 years ago Max phones are getting out of hand, with heavier weights and bigger sizes each year. With a smaller notch, I think a 6'4'' display would be a great fit. 18
@

@TheJCP0063 years ago Opted for the 13 Pro Max. Battery extends performance and features. Display negates the need for any tablet. Together both improve the overall experience and greatly reduces battery charge anxiety as demonstrated in repeated battery test vs flagship Android devices especially those with much larger batteries. ... 19
@

@karon7183 years ago I had both and was torn for weeks but finally decided on the Max. The Pro is definitely more comfortable but coming from the 11 Pro max and the XS max before that I’m it’s hard going back to a smaller display. Everything on the 13 Pro just felt small. With that being said the 13PM is thick and heavy no denying that and that’s going to take some getting used to. ... 32
@

@arkantochiron3 years ago I am so glad the Apple did not have any feature disparity between the pro and pro max this year. We don't have to choose the biggest and heaviest phone to get the best experience. It's the pro for me. 4
@

@TheBrettYT3 years ago Nice video Arron you make so good videos
@

@SlyCooperRN2 years ago I currently have the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but after purchasing an 11” iPad Pro I will be downsizing my phone to the Pro model next year! 2
@

@marka82463 years ago I really like the 13 pro max I’m getting two days easy battery life , the phone is great smooth it feels like a decent upgrade from my 11 pro max !! 8
@

@MrLuigi-oi7gm3 years ago Great job! A lot of waisted space in those notches. Would love to see Apple use some of that space to include the date. 5
@

@raffymytaffy3 years ago Good job! Hey I recommend doing the Z Fold 3 VS The iPhone 13 Pro Max :)
@

@matjazsparas72863 years ago I picked up the 13 pro on the release date. I love everything about it, amazing battery, gorgeous display, great design with cornered edges, the premium feeling, the size,...No regrets from me. 6
@

@Abitofeverything43 years ago Coming from a 12 pro max and been using a 13 pro and it’s honestly been great. I’m ending the day on MORE battery left than on my 12 pro max, I’m always using my phone one-handed and it’s been a joy to have something this excellent with portability.
I’m not justifying my experience when I say these things or with regret for not sticking with the max, I can honestly say the 13 pro is probably the best option for MOST people and for those wanting a downsize change this year it’s definitely the year to do it! ... 83
@

@erec7073 years ago I’ve had my 12 pro max for a year now, and I think I’m gambling to wait till the next phone. I would LOVE to see the iPhone 14 with a usb-c port, better camera, all while having a great battery. Plus rumors are stating theres going to be a complete redesign. Fingers crossed 🤞. Plus, the 12 pro max is getting everything done regardless. ... 1
@

@wreckagevic3 years ago Went with the 13 Pro. The 12 pro max I had was just to bulky to carry around and I recently acquired a iPad for my home browsing needs.
@

@observinghumanity30343 years ago I upgraded from the XS Max to the 13pro Max. For me it’s definitely about the battery life, because what good are any of the features if your phone runs out of battery. Plus I am not someone who carries extended battery packs with me on the daily. ... 10
@

@joenissan3 years ago I skipped the 12 last year but this year I traded in my 11 pro max for the 13 pro max. Excellent battery life but otherwise, not much different to me than my 11 pro max. The 120hz promotion is negligible at best. I just can’t tell the difference. ... 3
@

@gregz16903 years ago Waiting for my 13 pro max to get shipped I ordered it last week. Can't wait
@

@EmissaryOfDeath3 years ago Thank you allen ❤️
I think pro will be better for me than pro max. 3
@

@TheMystro19713 years ago This year the star is really the 13 Pro as it’s more compact and portable size gives up nothing in performance for a Pro model. Even battery life is outstanding and does better than previous years Pro Max size. The Pro Max is a brick and unless you want to compromise all day carry comfort. The trade off isn’t worth it now that we have equal performance between Pro & Pro Max. Look it this way: Extra battery life is meaningless if going to bed and you have 20% on the Pro and 30% on the Pro Max since it’s extra battery life would be waisted since your charging your phone anyway. Battery life insecurity can really distort reality in a real world portable device. This is like walking around all day with 5 lbs boots vs 2 lbs boots when even a pair of sneakers would have been ideal. The extra weight yields nothing in real world performance unless you continuously run your phone to 0% at the end of the day and that won’t happen with either Pro or Pro max. Go on a extended vacation where you are really carrying and using your phone a lot and at the end of the day at a place like Disney World, the Pro Max will feel even heavier and annoying. ... 27
@

@Naessey3 years ago Great review. Thanks. With the cameras now the same, hard to justify the Max. As a max owner, do like it but it’s big/heavy. 1
@

@Ahv200213 years ago Keeping my 12 Pro Max. After almost a year, still one of the best phones I’ve had. 14
@

@idrisb073 years ago As a 12 mini user, I can never go bigger than the regular Pro, and the 13 Pro is quite tempting 36
@

@cgrscottlast year Aaron, you always seem to have a good personality for reviewing Apple products. I have come to realize that most of my colleges are getting better photos with their iPhone 13 Pro than most people get with their digital SLRs and digital point and shoots. Sometimes I'm hired to shoot Christmas Walk Parades at night and I'm thoroughly convinced that an iPhone 13 Pro would get better night time shots of these events than any digital SLR out their for under five grand. I'm looking to get a used unlocked iPhone 13 Pro with at least 256 GBs of storage. Thanks for the helpful comparison. I know I can only tolerate the size and weight of the 13 Pro and not the Max. ...
@

@bbruce653 years ago Bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Coming from an iPhone 12 Pro. Decided on the Max for the bigger screen for video conferencing and the bigger battery. Couldn’t get through the day with the 12 Pro. The 13 Pro Max is doing great on battery performance. ... 7
@

@NSR953 years ago I got the pro max in sierra blue and upgraded from the xs max. I was a little worried about the upgrade and whether it will be worth it or not. And it definitely worth it 3
@

@alessandrotorrescampos5223 years ago Amazing video Aaron, just as always. The new iPhone has some new interesting improvements. My great deception is the delay in the delivery that is happening. I, who come from Brazil, pay 10 times more. And now I still have to wait until November 5th for delivery. What I'm finding strange is that no one is making video about these delays that are occurring in Apple's deliveries. Greetings from Brazil. Alessandro. ... 1
@

@1234567890ZETA2 years ago I ordered the 13 ProMAX. First apple phone too. I opted for the 256 gb memory because I only use my phones for calling watching videos navigation and taking pictures. 1
@

@chargerman1653 years ago Always had a Max ever since there was a Max. Bought a 13 Max and returned it for the 13 Pro. 13 Max just seemed a little heavier than my 12 Max. Not much difference in specs and I really like the size of the Pro. No regrets 52
@

@speedyg123.3 years ago Upgraded from my XS Max to the 13 Pro Max and at first was surprised how much bigger the 13 Pro Max felt (i loved the XS Max size and could onehand everything with ease). Had few doubts for about 2 weeks but eventually got used to it. Now I look at my Dad's iphone 11 and find it tiny (and the 13 Pro would be even smaller physical size). No way I could downgrade to a 6.1in device. ... 15

@LemontHill3 years ago i picked the 13 pro max 512gb in the blue color blue is my favorite color plus i am a heavy duty user as far as recording videos go and i also use it for Ministry i am very content with the phone and i will keep it for at least 8 years max before i upgrade again Lord Willing.. i enjoyed the video Aaron God bless you.. ... 2
