New iPhone 13 and 13 Pro owners are sharing their opinions on the MacRumors forums, and for those awaiting their own new iPhones or considering a purchase, impressions from average consumers provide useful insight.
MacRumors reader Hindsy, who shared several photos of his new Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro, said that the 120Hz display is "definitely noticeable" even for "an amateur like me."
MacRumors reader Chris got iPhone 12 models in pink and blue. The pink is "gorgeous" and a must-see in person, and the blue is lighter in person too. Cinematic Mode is "incredibly fluid and fast."
And of course this year’s blue lineup is absolutely stellar! The Sierra Blue is a lot lighter than you’d think in person. pic.twitter.com/LD6vf9T5gU

— Chris (@megarangerblue) September 23, 2021Boardiesboi, who shares his opinions on new iPhone models every year, said that the new iPhone 13 Pro Max doesn't feel heavier in the hands than the 12 Pro Max, even though there is a slight difference in weight. MagSafe does not appear to be stronger than last year.
He also said that the smaller notch is not that noticeable, and that the Sierra Blue color is "absolutely stunning" in person and looks quite different in different lighting situations.
Boardiesboi also shared a nice photo of the Sierra Blue color vs. the Pacific Blue color from last year for those who are interested in seeing the difference side-by-side.
Other impressions from new iPhone owners:· The iPhone 13 Pro display appears to be cooler than the iPhone 12 Pro display· The stainless steel edges of the Pro and Pro Max are still show fingerprints· If you'rere used to the old notch, you can tell the new one is a little bit taller. But it still disappears into the background as you use the phone.
