A very long-time Samsung user who finally took the plunge - and I will not look back.

My first Samsung was an S5. Since then I purchased Samsung through and including the S21 5G. Decided to change since virtually all my immediate and close family members use iPhones. Been using my iPhone 13 since mid-July 2020. After a relatively short learning curve I am loving it. Simple to use; features are appropriate for my basic needs. Camera is great. Battery so far has been excellent. My biggest complaint so far is the placement of the send arrow in the same box as where you type your text message. It is really easy to accidentally hit the arrow while composing or editing a text message. Very easy to update apps and the operating system. Display is very nice. Does not seem to be as cumbersome to use compared to my previous Android smartphone. So far, I have ... MoreMy first Samsung was an S5.

Calls do not drop and no wi-fi or bluetooth issues.

Came from XR, Not happy with the 13

My last few iPhones have lasted me a long time, I bought a 13 after almost 4 years with my XR (iPhone 10). With a good amount of time between purchases I normally see a big difference/improvement in many areas upon getting a new iphone. Not this time. Camera is supposed to be much higher quality - I can't get it to focus without having to manually switch a setting and even then the XR photos would focus better and show more detail in the photo. It sounds much worse than the XR did - on a call the sound quality is noticeably poorer than my XR. The style of the phone is reminiscent of an iPhone 4, boxy and small, fit is not as comfortable in my hand width wise as the XR (normal size XR) was. I'm seeing no noticeable difference in operating speed and battery life which ... MoreMy last few iPhones have lasted me a long time, I bought a 13 after almost 4 years with my XR (iPhone 10).

I'm seeing no noticeable difference in operating speed and battery life which are supposed to be improved, does not appear to be any different for me over the XR. In all I wish I had taken my XR to a repair shop to confirm it was not able to be fixed instead of shelling out almost $900 for a new iPhone that in my opinion is a down grade from the XR three models prior! Note that NOT included in the box is the plug required to charge this phone, and no headphones. The lightening cord from a newer previous iPhone will work if your going from iPhone to iPhone but if you are new to an apple phone I guess Apple expects you to spend $900 for a phone and not even provide you with what you need to charge it! I've never been disappointed with an iPhone purchase before (iPhone4, iPhone5, iPhone6, iPhoneXR) but I am now. Apple drastically lowered the bar on the standards of an apple product with the iPhone 13 (and it appears on the iPhone 12 as well from the reviews I'm reading on them). I wish I hadn't been in a pinch causing me to make this purchase without researching first, mistake on my part.

David's review of iPhone 13 128GB (PRODUCT)RED

Pros: The colour product red suits the iPhone 13 well, it’s fast and almost no loading times boots up within 12 seconds or less when switching on phone. Cameras are fine both wide and ultra wide. Navigating round the phone is good and quite straight forward, I’ve only ever had iPhones since iPhone 4 and haven’t ever changed phone to android I don’t think there is much point as they all offer the same performance. It’s a good phoneCons: Getting used to a bigger screen can be difficult as I’m used to using one hand and can get around with one hand but I need two hands for this one and I have to stretch out a little sometimes to touch a certain part of the screen. Maybe I could have gone for the mini 13 instead. But I do like the bigger screen other than that little ... MorePros: The colour product red suits the iPhone 13 well, it’s fast and almost no loading times boots up within 12 seconds or less when switching on phone.

Oh and I’ve heard that the screen scratches more easily than previous models so getting yourself a screen protector would be a good idea

Excellent easy to use mobile phone

I think most people know a lot about Apple's iPhones by now.I bought the iPhone 13, rather than the 14, as it was $400 cheaper at the time and the iPhone 14 adds almost nothing over the 13 (the 14 is slightly faster and has a slightly better video camera). Not worth an extra $400 for me (and according to many reviewers).As usual the iPhone 13 is easy to use and of very high quality and durability (as long as it is in a very protective case).The only real downside, for me, is that the IOS "operating system" is not really a true or powerful operating system. IOS is easy to use and does all the expected day to day tasks but is missing many true OS features (hierarchical file system, full change and version control of Apps, access to underlying "core" OS e.g. like ... MoreI think most people know a lot about Apple's iPhones by now.I bought the iPhone 13, rather than the 14, as it was $400 cheaper at the time and the iPhone 14 adds almost nothing over the 13 (the 14 is slightly faster and has a slightly better video camera).

But IOS is adequate. Not as powerful as Android but easier and safer to use.

Faulty iPhone

Purchased this iPhone 13 in April. Wanted to get ahead of it going out of stock. I was right, as the pink ones are now. I waited for my current contract to finish and then migrate to IOS from Android.Went to make the transfer across yesterday, only to find the iPhone kept spoiling, overheating, short battery life and non-responsive. Even took to a Vodafone store where I was told there was a possible fault with the device,Spent 40 minutes on the phone yesterday holding with customer services, as they are unable to replace, despite the phone being only 3 months old and unused. Instead it took all of this time to find out if my nearest John Lewis store could help with taking my mobile back for repair. Was not impressed with JL policy and customer service on this ... MorePurchased this iPhone 13 in April. Wanted to get ahead of it going out of stock. I was right, as the pink ones are now.

Sold a faulty product and they will not replace after just 3 months and only just trying to use. Only other suggestion was to return it to an Apple store, which I may try to do today. Hope they are more understanding than JL. Will be a long drive to do it in 40 degrees!

Having been a long time Android user, I’m pleasantly surprised with the iPhone 13 and the Apple Watch Series 7

I made the switch from Android to IOS because of health issues. Specifically the Health app being much better for ECG and heart rate monitoring. I also bought the Series 7 watch. I am very impressed with the monitoring.Voice recognition on apple iPhone is more accurate and allows you pause longer when dictating. Voice recognition is available nearly everywhere.Facial recognition is outstanding.Apple Maps app is not nearly as good as Google Maps, but you can install Google Maps.The IPhone requires learning many gestures, which are not always intuitive.I miss the back arrow function in Android.Siri has many commands which makes using the IPhone very easy.The IPhone is fast and the screen is excellent.Accessories are abundant.The camera is great.The ... MoreI made the switch from Android to IOS because of health issues.

You don’t have to say “hey Siri”The learning curve is not easy due to extensive gesture requirements.In general I really like the IPhone 13 and IOS,I hope this helps.I am 74 and supported large computer systems since 1982.

Massive Beast in a small size!

Just upgraded to this from a Samsung Galaxy S10e a couple days ago, and let me tell you something. For me, this was a huge jump because I've had very little experience with iOS prior to buying this phone. And to start off, I love every aspect of this phone, especially Siri and the cameras! Speaking of which, the cameras on this thing are insane! Way less noisy and grainy in the background than my Samsung. Another feature I absolutely love is the Face ID, which detects your face almost instantly, unlike my S10e. And the last feature I really love on this thing is setting Do Not Disturb based on location. This was a feature that my Samsung did not have and I cannot tell you how helpful this is! One being that I don't have to readjust the time schedule of Do Not ... MoreJust upgraded to this from a Samsung Galaxy S10e a couple days ago, and let me tell you something.

One being that I don't have to readjust the time schedule of Do Not Disturb and the second being that it will not turn of until you're a certain distance away from that location (which can be adjusted in Settings). Overall, as a former Android user, I cannot tell you how much I love my iPhone 13! It has way more features than my old phone and it's also blazing fast! I would definitely recommend this phone!

The blue is Ugly :(

It’s not much different from my XR, camera is different but I only take screenshots so not exciting for me Really. I thought it was bigger than the XR but no it’s smaller because of the non curved sides and that’s annoying as wanted same size or bigger! the blue is not like shown on the app when I upgraded, it was advertised as prettier on the app but I opened it and was so upset as it’s so ugly and definitely a blokes phone for sure! Even my child (10) said “yuk” when I showed her! A very ugly dull blue that my new ordered transparent cover sadly won’t hide! I guess it will have to do for the next 36 months!Also the volume is so loud and won’t turn down for calls and texts, so inconvenient to have to have on mute 90% of the time! Battery is what it is, lasts long ... MoreIt’s not much different from my XR, camera is different but I only take screenshots so not exciting for me Really.

Very disappointing

I was led to believe that my 13 Pro Max would do and be all sorts of wonderful but, actually, it’s not much different than all the rest.Mine has a touchscreen difficulty, similar, at times, the issues that plagued me with my I-6… often I tap, tap, tap on the screen with little or no response. I have to either turn the phone off and restart it… or, reset network settings to get around it. On other occasions, I move my finger within a 1/4” of the screen and it activates whatever was nearest my finger. There have also been times where drops of perspiration, hitting the screen will change a display… depending upon where the drop of sweat hits the screen.There is a glitch, when taking photos, where the photo pixilates.

There have also been times where drops of perspiration, hitting the screen will change a display… depending upon where the drop of sweat hits the screen.There is a glitch, when taking photos, where the photo pixilates. Most often it will normalize when retaking the photo but every once in a while, it will continue to pixelate 2-3 times… differently, with each subsequent photo.I was led to believe that I would be able to take “macro” photos. Apparently, the individual making this claim knows absolutely nothing about photography. Yes, it… on occasion… will take a decent “closeup” (not the same as “macro”) but even that can be difficult and very time consuming because the phone camera cannot decide where the focus should be. My subject of the photo, “bounces” wildly around the screen and I must ready myself to make an extremely quick shot if it “bounces” into a more desired area, compositionally speaking. It’s extremely difficult, also, to get the focus on a smaller object in the foreground, if there is anything large enough, in the background, for the camera to focus on. An example would be, attempting to photograph, say, a flower in the foreground and leaves are behind it… the focus will switch quickly from the flower to the leaves in the background.There seriously needs to be a way to set the camera to focus on the main subject and leave the background blurry. The “portrait mode” is “supposed” to this but it fails miserably the vast majority of the time and you cannot get very close to the subject in “portrait” settings.
