In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“the iPhone 13 feels like a bit of a no-brainer”
“I would instead get the incredibly similar iPhone 13 for 699”
“the iphone 13 is already so far ahead of androids with its chipsets”
“even next to the iphone 13 which is twice the price the nothing genuinely holds its own”
“now's a great time to still buy an iPhone 13”
“the normal iphone 13 is a lot better than i thought it would be”
