i Phone 13 Pro Max Specification

 

I said the outward design hasn't

changed very much the phone has a glass

on the front and back along with a shiny

stainless steel frame that adores

collecting fingerprints the layout is

otherwise unchanged too

the notch is a smidge smaller and the

the camera bump is just a little larger but

that's the biggest change that you'll

see here

pick the max up though and you will

notice something new it's heavier than

before and at 240 grams it's heavy for

your smartphone in general it's also

massive especially with a case on it

so before buying it you should really

pick one up literally because the Max

size might not be your cup of tea

the 13 pro max is as rugged as last

year's model

it should survive up to 6 meters

underwater for 30 minutes

the display's cover glass the ceramic

shield by Corning once again offers some

of the best protection in the industry

though it will shatter and scratch if

6.7'' OLED, 1284p, 120Hz refresh rate

you abuse it

as for the screen itself, it's a 6.7 inch

super retina OLED with a pixel density

of 458 ppi it's hdr 10 and Dolby vision

compliant too

for the first time, apple is introducing

a high 120-hertz refresh rate on its

phones

they call it promotion and it's adaptive

games can't fully utilize it just yet

but aside from that the feature is

executed very well

the display can drop down to as little

as 10 hertz and then jump up to 120hz on

the fly depending on whether you're

touching the screen and the current

content

this both saves on battery life and

offers a smoother experience when you

need it other than that this is a

wonderful display

it has a wide color gamut and pretty

much flawless color accuracy

we also got an excellent 1050 nits in

auto brightness which means this is one

Speaker and sound quality test

of the brightest panels on the market

the audio quality from its speakers was

similarly impressive

the iPhone 13 pro max has a bottom

firing speaker and it uses its earpiece

as a second channel

the speakers earned a very good loudness

rating on our tests and these are among

the best-sounding speakers that you can

get on a phone

4352 mAh battery and 27W fast charging

the max is a hefty phone and part of

that comes from its 4 352 milliamp hour

battery

which is the biggest one that Apple has

ever put in an iPhone

and surprisingly one of the best parts

of the 13 pros has to be the battery life

it got a 121-hour endurance rating on

our tests

not only is this the longest endurance

ever for an iPhone

it's up there in terms of 2021 flagships

in general

and it's not just good standby times

that gives it this result

the screen on time is great and this phone

will likely survive a full day or two of

heavy usage

irritatingly the iPhone ships without a

charger

using Apple's 20-watt charger the 13 pro

max got from zero to 42 in half an hour

since the phone supports charging up to

27 watts if you get a more powerful

the adapter you can get up to 55 in half an

hour

however, it doesn't improve the full

Apple A15 Bionic

charge times

the iPhone 13 pro arrives with Apple's

latest a15 bionic chipset

the phone is equipped with six gigs of

ram versus four gigabytes on the non-pro

models performance wise the pro max is

way ahead of its Android competition

iOS 15

and its closest rivals are last year's

iPhones

the new chipset improves last year's

performance by 10

and it is the fastest chipset in a phone

to date

the one concern I do have is that the

GPU was quick to throttle and I would

have liked to see better sustained

performance the 13 pro max comes with

ios 15 out of the box and while visually

it's not a huge update over ios 14

you'll notice that ui elements are

slightly rounder more notably facetime

messages notification management the

safari browser wallet and maps have all

been improved

for example, notifications got a complete

overhaul and they now have better

visibility and you can set a focus

profiles that filter notifications

depending on what you're doing

I have more details about ios 15 and

our iPhone 13 review 

but the biggest update with the pro max

Camera specs

model this year must be the cameras

all three rear cameras have been

improved

so what are you getting here on the 12

the megapixel main sensor has larger pixels

then before the largest single pixels in

a smartphone with the 12 megapixel

telephoto now has optical three times

zoom instead of 2.5 times and the 12

megapixel Ultroid sensor lets in more

light and now has autofocus so it can

double as a macro cam

there is a lighter scanner too and it

helps the three cameras with depth maps

for better portraits and faster

autofocus in low light only the selfie

the camera is the same 12-megapixel unit as

before

Daylight Photos Quality

during the day the 13 pro max takes very

good photos with the main camera

and of course, they have a very iPhone

like flavor colors are accurate but

unexciting dynamic range is wide and hdr

is balanced

detail is good and noise is non-existent

if you want more dramatic images you can

use the photographic styles to achieve a

more expressive look the telephoto

maintains the same vibe as the main

camera

and you get sharp and detailed images

noise is minimal and the dynamic range

is good

the ultrawide is also quietly competent

colors and dynamic range are a good

match for the other cameras

there's some extra softness here and

there though and a bit of noise

thanks to the autofocus you can get some

extreme close-ups with the ultra red

camera

they're not quite macro and the focus is

quite shallow but still with good light

patience and a steady hand you can get

Portrait Photos Quality

some pretty impressive shots you can

take portraits with both the main camera

and the telephoto the main camera will

get you higher quality images while the

telephoto allows for a nicer perspective

with the main camera subject separation

is good

but the phone sometimes blurs the

shoulders of your subject when it

shouldn't skin tones be warm detail is

great and the dynamic range is great too

with telephoto portraits are a little

softer and there were more mishaps in

subject detection once again dynamic

Selfies

range and colors are excellent

shots with the front camera had very

likable skin tones exposure and dynamic

the range was great detail was superb and

Lowlight Photos Quality

we didn't notice much noise

the 13 pro max has an excellent default

auto night mode it's less aggressive

than Android phones when it comes to

restoring highlights and boosting

shadows so you get a more true to life

look

detail is good outside of tonal extremes

and you'll find white balance and color

saturation to be on point while you can

disable it there isn't a good

reason to do so

if you want to zoom in at night the max

will revert to its primary camera if the

the scene is too dark

overall images are okay but they're

nothing amazing

detail and sharpness are good in

reasonably lit scenes when they're

captured by the actual telephoto they

are a little too dark for our taste

though

at night the ultrawide snapper is a step

up from what you get on the iPhone 12

pro and what you get with the vanilla

iPhone 13. shots have good sharpness and

detail and colors are accurate once

Video quality Daylight

again I would have preferred slightly

brighter shadows

the iPhone can record video up to 4k at

60fps with all of its cameras

iPhones usually have excellent video

quality and the situation is no

different here

during the day footage is a great dynamic

the range is good colors are lively there are

no noise and detail is plenty

videos with a telephoto are the same as

with the main camera

just zoomed in three times

the ultrawide is as good as the other

two cameras

there's great parody as far as color

exposure and dynamic range are concerned

detail is great too and we found it to

be crisper than the galaxy s21 ultra

though not quite at the level of the mi

11 ultra in low light the main camera

captured footage that had good exposure

and dynamic range and accurate colors

Video quality Lowlight

detail is good but not great too

if you zoom in three times low light

the footage is sourced from the main camera

so it's mushy if you want to zoom

in you should find brighter areas

the ultrawide does decently in low light

when it comes to exposure and dynamic

range

there's a new cinematic mode on the 13

Cinematic mode

Pro 2.

it's like portrait mode for

videos and it simulates blur for things

that should be out of focus

you can change the simulated aperture

and if the auto mode makes a mistake you

can fix everything later

since it's all done by the software it's

not perfect but the video quality is

quite good and if you don't mind

tweaking it a bit in the post you can make

some pretty nice videos

the iPhone 13 pro max doesn't look very

different from its predecessor

the notch should have been long gone by

now and it's not significantly

faster

however, the screen is fantastic the

Conclusion

stereo speakers are great

performance is still unmatched and the

battery life is simply class-leading

photo and video quality is great across

the board too

is this the most innovative phone ever

hardly

but it offers a very solid experience in

pretty much every department and of

course it's the best iPhone ever

so if you're upgrading from an iPhone

that is older than the iPhone 13 pro

I recommend it

thank you
