I just saw someone tweeting about taking their new iPhone 13 Pro out of its case all the time simply to gaze at it. At first I scoffed, but then I discovered myself doing exactly the same thing!

What I like most about the 13 Pro design, I realized, is the giant camera module. With its multiple protruding lenses, the module exudes a steampunk aesthetic.

It makes the phone much more interesting to look at than previous iPhones, which in recent years had started to resemble featureless slabs of glass.

When I'm not gazing at my new iPhone 13 Pro, I've been playing around with its many new features. I quickly came to the conclusion that it's almost the perfect phone.

Check out my review for more.

It’s just that one cord to a hub or dock helped reduce their previously tangled mess of cables splaying out all over the place.

"Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people, that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them. It's not the tools that you have faith in -- tools are just tools. They work, or they don't work. It's people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I'm still optimistic. I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long." -- Steve Jobs
