Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Specs

8.8

Description

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is Apple's biggest phone in the lineup with a massive, 6.7" screen that for the first time in an iPhone comes with 120Hz ProMotion display that ensures super smooth scrolling. The benefit of such a gigantic phone is that it also comes with the biggest battery of all iPhone 13 series. Apple also introduces improvements to all three cameras on the Pro Max, the wide, ultra-wide and telephoto zoom ones, but there is no periscope style long-range zoom like on many Android phones.

Improved, but still not up to the price tag.
Phone owned for less than 3 months

Still disappointing. IOS still holds back iPhones and the design is to big and heavy for the screen size and small battery. The notch should not be on a phone in 2022 let alone at this price. Video is great, photos average at this price point. Battery is good u til pushed hard but is still too small compared to competition. Recharging is slow and need to improve. Overall, the phone is overpriced and not a great design. The ecosystem benefits for those with lots of Apple stuff is the only reason I can see for buying this over other comparable phones.

Apple Could Win Some Android Users
Phone owned for less than a month

I've worked in the telecommunication industry for just around 14 years now. My gripe with apple is they have been lacking behind Android since the iPhone 6 models in battery life, and technological advances when it comes to the iPhone. I usually will get the newest iPhone as I hope that I will enjoy it considering most everyone I know has one, and communicating through FaceTime is easier than trying to get an iPhone user to download duo, or actually use video call through Facebook messenger or Whatsapp. I eventually use my Android device as my daily driver (previously Galaxy z fold 2, OnePlus 9 pro, most recently Google pixel 6 pro) as screen resolution, lack of processing speed, and camera quality from apple drive me back to Android. With the iPhone 13 pro max in the short time I've have the device I've been quite surprised with it's performance. The two biggest gripes I've had with apple as far as battery performance and lack of a 120hz display have been resolved. The battery performance is very good, and the 120hz refresh rate makes a world of difference when comparing it to the iPhone 12 pro max. When I was setting the phone up I was impressed with the speed and performance of the iPhone 13 pro max, there is definitely a difference between last year's model and this years. The smaller notch is noticeable from the 12 pro max, and for someone used to a hole punch front camera makes it easier to transition to the iPhone 13 pro max. When comparing the camera though to my pixel 6 pro, the 13 pro max thus far can not compare. The pixel photos just seem much crisper, and more defined (could very well be from the telephoto lens). The Google pixel 6 pro also comes stock with more features for the camera, but I can get those features from the apple app store (just nice to already have them built in with the pixel). Call clarity definitely goes to the iPhone 13 pro max very crisp clean audio when on a call or face time. When playing a video the audio from the iPhone is devine. When you can get nice lows and highs from a phone speaker it's beyond impressive. Overall I believe I'll use the iPhone 13 pro max as my daily driver for now, unless I'm going somewhere I need elite photos then I'll switch back to my pixel 6 pro (since unfortunately my pixel is having the connectivity issues). This is by far the best version of the iPhone apple has put on the market to date!
