Apple iPhone 13 Pro
I'd buy itI'd buy this.
Smaller 13 Pro gets at least 30 minutes more screen time than the 12 Pro Max and shares the strong screen and cameras, but the notch cuts into videos.

- Dense and uncomfortable to hold
In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“the 13 Pro is on 31%”
“the normal iphone 13 pro is also really strong”
“the iPhone 13 Pro which as far as I'm aware has the second nicest looking slow-mo”
“there is easily enough of a gap in reliability here to justify spending that extra hundred the iphone 13 pro wins this comparison”
“the pixel only serves as a reminder of how good the iphone 13 pro is for video”
“the normal 13 Pro is getting at least 30 minutes more screen on time than my 12 Pro Max was”
Every time I covered it
Most recent first, so you can see if my view has changed.
