Adam Kos The iPhone 13 hasn't been unveiled yet - that won't happen until September 14. But it is already clear from my point of view that whatever functions it will bring, it will be a clear buy. While my current iPhone XS Max is still a powerful device, it doesn't make sense to keep it any longer due to obsolescence. I'd like to say right off the bat that this comment is purely my view on the matter and you don't have to agree with it. On the other hand, you might find yourself in it and also decide that you need to upgrade the device you own.

Flying around the world with Apple Limited by brand
The history of the iPhones I own as a primary telephone device goes back to the official start of sales of these products in the Czech Republic, i.e. the iPhone 3G. From then on, I regularly bought a new machine every two years, while the old one went out into the world. I skipped the "S" version until the iPhone XS Max came out, simply because Apple changed their branding with the iPhone 8 and X. In addition, the Max model brought a huge display. I was supposed to upgrade to iPhone 12 last year, but I didn't upgrade, it didn't make sense. This is how I broke the two-year cycle for the first time. Watch the iPhone 13 presentation live in Czech from 19:00 here.

Sure, the iPhone 12, and by extension the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max, brought many improvements, including the coveted design change. But in the end, it was still the same phone, the purchase of which I simply could not justify. I can say with my hand on my heart that the iPhone XS Max has no problem surviving another year, two, or even three. Its replacement is therefore only a question of technological progress and innovations that the three years since its purchase have brought.

Amaya Toman Limited by the display
OLED display is a great thing. If it finally gets the much-hyped 120Hz refresh rate support, using the device will be a lot more pleasant. But because I know that the bigger the better, unfortunately I can't go for a smaller diagonal than the XS Max model now has. It would simply be a step backwards. So I am forced to choose a device with the same "maximum" epithet. On the other hand, I will improve even more, because the new product will probably have the same diagonal as the iPhone 12 Pro Max, i.e. 6,7" versus 6,5". And a bonus will be the reduced cutout and (hopefully) finally the Always-On function, which can be assumed to be available only with new products due to exclusivity. So there is quite a lot going on in terms of the display.

Limited by cameras
Lately, the iPhone has replaced any other cameras for me. The XS Max already produces great shots (under ideal lighting conditions). However, it suffers from several shortcomings that I would like to finally eliminate. The telephoto lens has visible noise and noticeable artifacts, so I'd really like Apple to finally improve it properly. Although I used to condemn it, I've been using optical zoom more and more lately. The portrait mode with the news is also no longer keeping up and there are noticeable bugs on it. I consider the ultra-wide-angle shot just as a bonus. I am definitely not thrilled with the experience of taking pictures of it with the iPhone 11 model. And on top of that, there are all the software innovations that the iPhone XS Max simply can't reach, such as night mode.

Vratislav Holub Limited by price
Although the above points are the main factors when it comes to equipment, the last thing is the price. And this is not meant with regard to the one with which the news will come, but the one that the iPhone XS Max will have after the presentation of the iPhone 13. Of course, it falls proportionally every year with the introduction of a new model. For a used piece, it is now between 10 and 12 thousand, so it is advisable to "get rid" of the device as soon as possible, so that the appropriate financial injection needed to buy a new machine is available. My advantage, however, is in the condition of the battery, which holds at 90% and the fact that the phone is undamaged by falls, does not have a cracked or previously changed display, etc.
A reduced cutout in the display is one of the expected novelties:

To wait another year would mean not only limiting yourself in the possibilities of the device, but also a further loss in price. So my point of view is that it doesn't really matter what the iPhone 13 brings. Of course, I can now list here what I think, what various analysts think, and what I would actually like. The fact that I will put more than 13 crowns into Apple's pocket for the new iPhone 30 Pro Max will not change anything.
"But at the end of the day, it was still the same phone that I just couldn't justify buying."

"So my view is that it doesn't really matter what the iPhone 13 brings."
With permission, just a simple question, which of these two statements is valid? I have a problem with the interpretation myself, don't worry about it :)
Or don't bother me about what's mine.
