Once a year Im hit with an impossible question: how the hell do you review the new iPhone?

Do you write for the tech-heads who obsess over every details?

The broader public who may only upgrade their phone every few years?

We reviewed the iPhone 13 with a series of haikus

Theres simply no right way.

Making this even trickier is the fact the devices are now incredibly mature.

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

Why review the iPhone 13 with haikus?

And what about the battery life?

The iPhone 13

lasts for 2.5 hours

longer than the 12.

But what does that actually mean?

The battery life is

fantastic.

It goes on and

on and on and on.

What about the cameras?

Akin to the 12,

but Night Mode is much improved.

The iPhone 13 sounds fantastic!

It is, but I still

hate theres no charger in the

box.

What are your final thoughts on the iPhone 13?

I would recommend it to

almost anyone.
