r/iPhone13Pro

Can anybody tell me if this is normal? 😔

Finally went in and replaced my battery in iPhone13Pro. Brought it in Aug 2022. My first ever iPhone and it’s very dear to me.

I had to reset my phone at the Apple Store, and all my previous apps and info are downloading as of now. But oh boy it genuinely feels faster than before.

Is it just an illusion or the phone genuinely does feel faster?

I’m going on a lot of trips and concerts this summer, I would wait for the 18, but it’s coming out after all the events I have planned :/ The biggest reason why I’d want to upgrade is the camera. Honestly the camera on my 13 pro is okay, but I was wondering if there’s a significant difference in camera quality between the two? Especially the zoom for taking videos at concerts, is there a big difference in the quality?

I’ve had this phone for 4 and a half years now, the battery isn’t terrible and in general everything is still good, only thing is I’m running out of storage (I have the 256gb) and sometimes my phone will freeze and lag while scrolling or typing but it doesn’t happen enough to bother me.

The 17 pro max also costs a pretty penny, and I’d want to get the 512gb so it’s an even prettier penny lol, is it worth the price? I’m grateful and lucky that money isn’t a big issue, but it’s still a huge purchase.

If the difference isn’t huge or noticeable between the two then I’ll just stick with the 13 pro, but I’m not very good at making decisions when it comes to technology so any help is appreciated!

Just got my hands on this iphone 13 pro 1 tb with 97% battery health 220 cycles with no history of repair. I did a ios 26.5 update before factory reset then downloaded my apps and copied my 200gb backup files from windows manually. I turned off the icloud, background app refresh, 5g, location service, etc and turned on other settings that would help to increase battery life such as dark mode, limit frame rate, reduce motion, etc. I also turned on the airplane mode and low power mode and it's been like this for 3 days now but it loses 9-10% battery overnight, from 11 PM - 7 AM, with no info about the app who consumed it. Idk if it's still indexing because there is nothing on the battery usage section on settings.

for those who's wondering why I do these battery optimized settings is because I just using this iphone mainly for it's camera and 2 apps, so I'm just prioritizing it's battery life and turning off other functionalities/features.

edit: I checked its info on 3utools, did diagnostics by pressing the volume up, down, and power button, and the results were fine.

My phone is getting a lot warm lately and its performance is getting hampered after the new 26.5 update
Now i regret that why did i upgraded from ios 18

Currently using an iPhone 11 since launch day and honestly it has served me really well till now.

Now getting a 13 Pro deal for around ₹35,000 and confused whether I should go for it or not.

Things attracting me towards the 13 Pro:

• 120Hz display
• Better cameras
• Better battery efficiency
• Premium feel overall

But at the same time, it’s still a used 3–4 year old device, so I’m thinking long term as well.

People who are still using the 13 Pro in 2026:

• How is the battery holding up?
• Any heating or lag issues?
• Does it still feel smooth and premium?
• Is the jump from iPhone 11 actually noticeable in daily usage?

Would appreciate honest opinions before I pull the trigger.

maybe im only one here ain’t use that protector..

I shoot gym content and the lighting in my gym is not so good. My 15plus performs decent but I used my friends 13pro a few days back and I found it better performing. I only used it for a few minutes just to take a few videos. Now I am getting an exchange deal, my 15 plus at 88%BH for a 13 pro at 100% bh(probably battery changed). Should I go for the deal?

Who can share their experience (battery or other things) after installing 26.5 on 13 pro.?(very important info for me )

Should o go with iphone 13pro around 35k with no issue or wait for bbd sale and buy new phon

I bought this thing when it came out, dropped it like at least 50 times (with a cover) the back is completely broken, up to and including the camera bump but somehow it still runs absolutely perfectly (changed the battery once).

I am ready to get something new this year but honestly none of the options seem worth it. The iPhone 17 looks like an absolute steal, but I have to say, going with a Pro was really worthwhile. My Partner has the 13 and especially since ios26 it's way more laggy. Long-term the Pro just really pays off.

The iphone 17pro seems like a bad deal by comparison, especially for a klutz like me, I am vary about breaking the aluminium. The 18pro doesn't look super interesting either and spending 2.5k on a Ultra seems excessive too.

Now that I have had this for so long, if I eventually replace it I want something that I am equally excited about using daily for the next 5 years, but somehow none of the options seem like that much of an upgrade.

Anybody else in this situation? What do you have your eyes on?
