Brilliant cameras, Great 120Hz display, Super-fast performance, Outstanding battery life

Design hasn’t changed enough, Some features coming later

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

The iPhone 13 Pro Max is in many ways the best iPhone Apple’s ever made. It has the biggest and best screen, a superb and industry leading camera system, a bigger battery, solid speakers, and more raw power than most people will ever need or use. But it’s also big, expensive and heavy. And this year, all the camera upgrades and a chunk of battery improvements come to the iPhone 13 Pro too. So if you want the best Apple has to offer, this is your iPhone. But first weigh up whether you could do with a little less battery life, screen space and strain on your hands – and £100 extra in your pocket – because this year’s iPhone 13 Pro is just as good.

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

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.

The iPhone with the biggest screen also delivers the biggest battery capacity of the range, meaning its stamina is epic. Its sheer physical size won't suit all, though, but if you want all the features and all the longevity then it's the ultimate choice - otherwise the Pro model offers all the same features in a smaller package instead.

Massive display; ProMotion screen brings 120Hz smoothness; Even bigger battery than predecessor; Easy-to-use and effective cameras;

It's really big - which won't suit all; Macro mode automatic switching can get confused; No Apple Pencil support; No USB-C; No always-on display;
