In fact, yours truly here still proudly owns an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I’ve yet to be persuaded to upgrade. It’s that good!

So, ready for a fun ride with Loop Mobile? Let’s dish out some tech gossip, and by the end, you decide which iPhone buddy you wanna roll with!

That said, both chips redefined performance and endurance meaning you can use your phone flawlessly throughout the day without draining the battery to zero.
