I watched the anime because of the game and absolutely loved it, it was quite emotional towards the end.

Not really, the 13 Pro hasn't had any settings changed and I'd say the photos look quite natural. The battery life is also amazing.

I'm not particularly a photography person but I'd say they are fine. They can be a bit blurred in low light, and maybe they are not as sharp as a 13 pro which I can compare them to.

I bought an iPhone 12 for a relative a few years ago, that thing holds up great. One of the cheapest models with an OLED screen I think, which still looks absolutely stunning. They make such small incremental upgrades now which makes it hard to justify a newer model.
