I have a Smartish slim grip case on my personal iPhone 11. It costs $12. It’s been dropped dozens of times. Most recently, I fell hard on the sidewalk with my phone in my pocket. Phone and AirPods went flying. The phone is fine.
I've used Spigen and Elago cases variously on iPhones over the years. Basically the same report as @SumnerH on both.I have Spigen cases on my Android phone and tablet, and am a fan. They're tough, decently low-profile, and won't break the bank.
I had the same with AT+T and my XS (before the 13 came out). I'm paying like $3/mo for my 12 after having my XS for 2+ years.Verizon is giving me $440 for my xR (!), which they give to me in the form of a monthly discount. So instead of paying $33/month for 24 months, I am paying $14/month for 24 months. Not a bad deal.
The same promo for AT&T right now is crazy, if I trade in my XS 256 for a 13Pro 256, I think it's $8/mo for 24 months. Nothing in stock until end of november though.I had the same with AT+T and my XS (before the 13 came out). I'm paying like $3/mo for my 12 after having my XS for 2+ years.
In my estimation, yes. They all seem to fit somewhat differently (for my ears). I hated the OG AirPods - did not work for me, and were returned. The AirPod Pros are a better fit for me than the originals, but I needed to get foam tip pieces to make them nest more comfortably in my ear.Do they fit markedly different than the prior generation AirPods (not the pros)? Seen some conflicting reports that the shape is different enough from 2 to 3 that it bothers some people.
I’d go Pro. I really like the noise canceling and transparency mode. Fit is more customizable thanks to the different sized ear tips.For someone who is considering buying these as a gift for someone, would you go 3rd generation or Pro?
I ordered a 13 Pro on Nov 18th and it arrived on Dec 4th. The expected delivery date range when I ordered was between 12/2 - 12/9.I’m still using my iPhone 8 Plus, but it’s starting to feel like it’s getting close to time for an upgrade. Battery for this one is on the way out, and it’s recently had some sporadic performance issues.
I haven’t really “played” with an iPhone 13 yet, so I don’t know which one is best for me in terms of Base/Pro/Pro Max.
Seems like the 13 and 13 Pro is actually smaller than my current phone, but the screen is bigger due to the entire phone being screen.
It seems like I might have trouble getting my hands on a Pro or Pro Max in the next few days, and wondering if it’s worth waiting for considering the extra money.
Also, wondering the logistics of charging. Would my dozen or so lightning cables scattered between work, home, vehicle, office, gym bag, travel bags be rendered useless?
A new phone uses a lot of battery charge just indexing data/downloading apps and data/etc. over the first few days. You should see a big improvement soon.I got a 13 Pro yesterday, and I’m overall pretty happy with it coming off of the 8 Plus. The screen is gorgeous, and the speakers were surprisingly so, so much better than the 8 Plus.
A bit disappointed on the battery’s early results, but it seems the “Photos” app has been doing tons of shit in the background, so hopefully that’s an easy fix.
Took a photo of my cat in a poorly lit room, and it actually didn’t come out at all grainy, so they has promise.
Hated the change in location of the address bar in Safari, but that’s fixable. Can’t figure out why anyone would want to put the address bar at the bottom of the screen…
Struggling the most without the Home button. I get that swiping up sort of replaces the function, but there seems to be a right way and a wrong way of doing it. Usually if I try it 3-5 times, it will work… Getting better at it. It seems most finicky when already on the Home Screen.
One absolutely huge improvement for me is the GPS. I’m not sure if it’s 5G or the phone’s processor, but previously if I made a wrong turn, there would be a rerouting chime and several seconds of “rerouting” and often the rerouting process would be too slow, as it would tell me to take a left I’ve already passed. Not so now. If I goagainst the GPS, the rerouting is instantaneous.
I found tbe Safari bar at the bottom awkward at first but now I find it so much more practical.I got a 13 Pro yesterday, and I’m overall pretty happy with it coming off of the 8 Plus. The screen is gorgeous, and the speakers were surprisingly so, so much better than the 8 Plus.

Exactly. I have decent sized hands and the reach to access the address bar in safari at the top of the screen wouldn't have been possible. It takes a minute to get used to it, but refreshing a game thread is much easier.I found tbe Safari bar at the bottom awkward at first but now I find it so much more practical.
It makes all the sense in the world. The most likely thing you are going to next is type something, why place it at the top which is as far away as you can get from the keyboard.Exactly.
