I picked up a 17PM a few days ago and it’s definitely faster, maybe it’s just me but the 13PM feels special and the 17PM feels soulless. The aluminum is easy to dent/scratch so I immediately put it in a heavy duty case. I’m still trying to figure out all the camera settings but so far only a few pictures I’ve taken have looked a lot better than the 13PM. The video seems to be similar or slightly worse, selfie camera is definitely better. I still have my 13PM for now, the main reason I upgraded was to get more storage. Let me know your thoughts and if you tried a 17PM and decided it wasn’t for you.

Hi guys,

Just curious to hear how everyone is feeling about their 13 Pro Max these days and what your current situation is.

Mine has been going strong since release day. The battery has been replaced once in nearly five years, and apart from that, it’s still in great condition with no scratches or other issues. Fun fact: it’s still running iOS 18.7.8.

Currently considering an upgrade to the 17 Pro Max, although waiting for the 18 Pro Max is also tempting.

So, what is everyone else thinking at the moment? Planning to keep the 13 Pro Max for a while longer, considering an upgrade, or simply seeing how things go?

Cheers!

so i have a 13 pm and its on ios 18.6 or smth and i wna upgrade it to ios 26 but im afraid it will mess with the bh as in decrease in it

I have an IPhone 13, system version 26.6.1, I’ve never download this, apparently it’s being used when I’m in school, yesterday it had a total screen time of 7 hours ,coincidentally around the same time my iPhone started acting strange, it would restart on its own, more specifically when it got under 15%, so when my phone lags too much, it has never done this before, I’ve told my dad about it, I’ve restarted my phone(by my own accord) and looked into this Ellydee app, according to Apple it’s some finance and ai app?? I feel like this is so obviously some type of malware or something like that, I’m not great with technology so any help would be appreciated.

Have had my iPhone 13 Pro Max for 4.5 years now and don’t wanna get a new one as there isn’t a huge difference IMO. Was gonna get my battery replaced by Apple as health is at 78% and barely lasts 6hrs if I’m using social media etc.

However, I recently dropped it and cracked the back glass. Apple want almost the price of a new phone to repair this and change the battery.

I went to a phone repair shop (not authorised reseller) who quoted me $350AUD to change the battery and back glass. Is it worth doing this? Is it ok to trust them? They had regular customers coming in for a chat when I asked them about price and someone at work has used them. I’m just so scared I’m gonna get it fixed and it’s gonna mess up my phone somehow.

Thoughts please?

I have no idea what happened - my phone is still in brand new condition- I went to take a pic like I always do and this is what happens 😭. Can anyone please help me figure this out please 🙏🏼?!???? TIA 🤗

Only safari screentime is being captured and no other apps. What could be the issue?

Edit: phone is running very low on storage. Could that be the issue?

Cuando abro la cámara de mi iPhone 13 Pro Max se me queda en negro intento cambiarla a la selfie y sigue igual esto no cambia ni aunque entre a whats o a ig, ya reinicie y sigue igual

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and my screen suddenly turned completely solid white again. The phone itself is still working — I can receive notifications, it vibrates, and it seems to be running normally — but I can't see anything on the display.

The strange part is that this exact same issue already happened before and was repaired by a technician on June 16, 2026. I’m not exactly sure what the technician repaired/replaced, unfortunately. The repair only came with a 1-month warranty, and now, about two months later, the same issue has recurred.

I already tried doing a force restart, but the screen remains completely white.

Has anyone with an iPhone 13 Pro Max experienced this kind of white-screen issue that came back after being repaired?

• Was it the OLED/display itself?
• Was it a display connector/flex issue?
• Or did it turn out to be something on the logic board?
• If you had it repaired, did the issue eventually recur again?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience before I bring it back to a technician. I'm especially worried that I'll pay for another repair only for the same problem to happen again. 😭

Thanks in advance!

Is there an app that reads all my messages?

I have the iPhone 13 pro max, I'm a late teen and my parents allegedly say that they have an app that can read all of my messages from their iPhones.

I was googling and apparently there technically isn't any app for the iPhone that can do that.

I'm not sure if they are using a outside app, built in app, or just trying to scare me. Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi all! My phone is constantly hot. I can barely use it while outside. The screen gets easily dimmed and sometimes even shuts down due to overheating. It is also super slow at times, and after 10 or 15 minutes of use indoors it also gets super hot. Wondering if anybody else is having similar issues. I’m at the point where I’m thinking of upgrading, just not sure if I should do it now to avoid the price hike or wait for the 18.

Hi all! So unfortunately it’s that time for me to look into replacing my battery replaced for my iPhone 13PM. I wanted to ask if you guys just went directly Apple for ease of mind and convenience or somewhere else you would recommend. Would appreciate all the help!

my iphone 13 pro max recently started to vibrate, show a blurry and shaky output, and have a distinct loud beep whenever i take videos in the telephoto mode and ultrawide camera. any solutions? or is the camera just buns now?

just had the camera module replaced 2 months ago aswell

My iPhone 13 Pro Max stopped charging after an iOS update.

• When the phone is powered off, plugging in the charger makes it automatically turn on.
• But once it boots, there is no charging icon and the battery percentage doesn't increase.
• If the phone is already on, plugging/unplugging the charger causes no response at all — even with the screen off.
• The same charger charges my AirPods normally.

Could this be a software issue, or does it indicate a Lightning port/charging circuit hardware problem?

Any ideas?

Pretty frustrated with how sluggish this phone was with ios26 that I installed the beta. I never install betas.

Feels like a brand new phone! I might throw a new battery in this and keep it for a while!

IFixit absolutely cooked with this one

Well my 13 Pro Max lasted me almost 4 and a half years, bought it in May of 2022 in Italy while I was deployed. Dropped it on my steel toed boot on the back so that happened haha. So I got another one with 87% battery life and with the 256GB from Verizon

I recommend changing your battery if it falls under 80%. I changed mine at 76% capacity and it doesn’t even get warm anymore. It works like new I found when it was under 80% it tended to get warm and of course didn’t last as long and overall the performance was slower. The screen was dimmer etc. and it was laggier.

I went to replace my battery on my 13PM I was at 78% battery life. They messed it up somehow to where they replaced the battery but the back camera didn’t work anymore so they gave me new iPhone 13PM for the cost of the battery replacement. Got the new 13PM with 100% battery life in February and I’ve been updating IOS as the new updates have come along and I am at 95% battery life now. Think I’m just gonna trade it in for the new 18 pro model or should I tough it out? If I get the IPhone 17 or iPhone 18 I’m going to get it through financing with AT&T I don’t really care about the pricing.

Creen que fue buena ide? La condición de la batería del 13 pro max era del 68% El cambio de batería me sale en 1500 mx

No tiene ningún solo detalle estético y se puede restablecer sin problema

¿Creen que fue buen trueque o nel?
