We reviewed the iPhone 13 with a series of haikus

Taking the high road, so other publications can take the low

Why review the iPhone 13 with haikus?

Because they get straight

to the point and are more fun

than boring-ass prose.

What’s new with the iPhone 13 design?

Bigger camera bump.

Diagonal lensesand

less notch. ‘New’ colors.

How is using the iPhone 13?

It feels delicious

in my sweaty hands. Sleek and

weighty. Beautiful.

What are the major updates users should care about?

Battery life and the

cameras have gotten better —

which is quite welcome.

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.

Overall, badass.

The iPhone 13 sounds fantastic!

It is, but I still

hate there’s no charger in the

box. Ridiculous.

What are your final thoughts on the iPhone 13?

It is excellent.

I would recommend it to

almost anyone.
