iPhone 13 Pro 4 Years Later: Still Worth It? Long Term Review

Is the iPhone 13 Pro still worth buying in late 2025? Or is it finally time to upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro? In this video, I take a humble, honest look at the iPhone 13 Pro four years after its release. I’ve used this phone as my daily driver for years, and even though I’ve upgraded to the 17 Pro, I still keep this phone in my rotation. We’re going to cover everything from the build quality to how the A15 Bionic handles the new "Liquid Glass" animations in iOS 26. Plus, I share my personal nightmare with 71% battery health and how a DIY aftermarket battery replacement (double power from Cortex) completely saved this phone. We also dive deep into the camera—can a 12MP sensor with ProRAW and 1080p Cinematic Mode really compete with today's 48MP monsters? If you are thinking about buying a used 13 Pro, or you're confused about upgrading from an older iPhone, this video is for you.
