At the end of the day, our Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max review concludes that this is clearly one of the best big phones around. It is the world's fastest phone, it has simply incredible battery life, and the camera system is more versatile now and captures better photos, while video recording remains...

Amazing battery life, Super bright display with great colors, Fastest performance of any phone, Improved camera, Best video quality of any phone

Lacks fast charging, Size is a bit extreme and it is a heavy phone, Cinematic Mode needs some more polish, No USB-C makes life more complicated

Like a lot of recent SmartPhones this was one of a range of models. Having told you about one of the lower specification’s model I now get to test the top of the range model – the one they use in the TV ads – so what does this latest offering from Apple have to temp you away from your current...

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is a beast with Apple’s biggest screen, longest battery life and highest price. There aren’t many phones that can last more than 48 hours on a charge, particularly with top-class chips, cameras, a 120Hz screen and upwards of six years of software support.

Pros: great cameras, 3x optical zoom, Face ID, very long battery life, great performance, large and brilliant 120Hz screen with smaller notch, 5G, long software support.

Cons: no USB-C, need your own charger, very heavy, very expensive, huge and difficult to use one-handed, not cutting edge compared with folding-screen devices.

An astonishingly good phone made marginally but undeniably better Stunning picture quality Great sound Brilliant battery life Fairly mild update Standard iPhone 13 arguably better value

Apple's iPhone 13 Pro Max is largely identical to the regular 13 Pro model, but the screen is larger and the battery lasts longer.

Huge screen with high resolution and 120 Hz refresh. Faster mobile is not available on the market and you cannot run the battery down.

Live Text does not work for small languages like Danish.

A giant, updated. Apple again positions the iPhone 13 Pro Max as the spear head with absolute top technology in 2021. Keywords are: a 120-Hz ProMotion display, improved cameras, a new Apple A15 chip, and optional 1 TB storage. We take a detailed look at the top model.

high-quality case, extreme amount of optional storage, fast WLAN, many 5G and 4G frequencies, accurate locating, very fast 120-Hz display, very high performance, long battery life

only 12 months of warranty, significant camera bulge, slight throttling under longer load, relatively mediocre charging speed, large notch

The iPhone 13 Pro Max gets put through its paces to see if this is the best phone yet from Apple

Better in most ways than its predecessor, but most improvements to the iPhone 13 Pro Max are marginal

Longer battery life, Macro mode is great, 120Hz display makes a difference

Most improvements marginal, Lens flare still a problem

Camera and battery improvements alone make the iPhone 13 Pro Max a significant upgrade for fans of the biggest iPhone

First-rate cameras, Longer battery life, Superb large display, Unparalleled app ecosystem

Big, heavy and bulky, No USB-C connector, No Touch ID, Edges are a fingerprint magnet

If you’re after the best iPhone Apple has ever made by a long way, then the iPhone 13 Pro Max is it - mostly down to having a genuinely long-lasting battery. You’ll need deep pockets, both literally and figuratively, to own this phone, as it’s big and rather expensive - but you’re getting a decent amount for your money. Some upgrades seem pretty minor - we struggled to get a lot from the new 120Hz ProMotion display and Cinematic mode will get quickly forgotten - but the low light camera is excellent, the power onboard outstrips any phone on the market for heavy tasks and it’s bound together by a cohesive user interface and app experience. If you want a big iPhone that you’ll enjoy for years, this is it.

Useful camera upgrades; Easily the best iPhone battery ever; Oodles of power;

120Hz screen is minimal upgrade; Cinematic mode is quite basic; Notch still too large
