I’m running on a Mint Sim as well, just like OP. Nearly pulled the trigger for a 14 PM last Oct.

Coming from an 8 Plus PR (I still have it, my back up; a keeper). Am still a firm believer of a physical SIM. That is why I prefer (after weighing the Pros vs Cons between the two) and went for a mint year old 13 PM instead (vs a new 14 PM). The 13 PM is just perfect for my yearly international travels.

With both physical SIM and eSIM abilities, the 13 PM is more versatile than the sole eSIM 14 PM. Removing the physical SIM from the 14 PM was a cost cutting measure for the US market (many fail to realize). Apple didn’t raise prices for the iPhone in the US as they claim..but of course, there’s gotta be a “trade off” somewhere (removing the physical SIM feature)..

13 pro max is also the king of battery life, the juice on this badboy is long lasting

Yes, I totally agree. I am floored with the outstanding battery life of our 13 PM.

Ya I got one now instead of the 14 because the 13 pro max is the true goat it’s the device everyone talks about even today. Battery is truly insane. I’ve been using it so much and haven’t charged it yet going on the second day basically. Crazy iPhone 14 max is close but not as long lasting as the 13 pro max
