iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Design and colors

  • Smaller notch just a bit heavier than iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • Sierra blue is our favorite color

The iPhone thirteen Pro Max retains the flat edges of the iPhone 12 Pro Max but looks a scrap dissimilar. For one, the camera array is larger than earlier, and so it takes up a bit more existent estate on the back of the phone.

(Paradigm credit: Tom's Guide)

Weighing viii.46 ounces, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is also notably heavier than its eight.03-ounce predecessor. But I'll allow that given the new iPhone Pro has a larger bombardment.

(Paradigm credit: Tom's Guide)

On the plus side, the iPhone 13 Pro Max's notch is a bit smaller on the brandish, as Apple tree shrunk it twenty% while retaining the same fundamental Confront ID tech. It's not a full-screen wait, but it's an improvement over recent iPhones.

iPhone 12 Pro Max (left) and iPhone 13 Pro Max (right) (Image credit: Tom'south Guide)

My only real complaint with the iPhone thirteen's design is that information technology doesn't offer Touch ID, either in the power button or underneath the display. At a time many people are still wearing masks in public places, it would be nice to have an culling way to easily unlock our iPhones.

Fortunately, the iOS 15.iv software update enables Face up ID to work with masks. And nosotros accept tested the update and it works well.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max comes in four colors: graphite, gold, silvery and sierra blueish. I would opt for the blue model if paying with my own money. The graphite model I tested has a sleek professional vibe, merely information technology's not every bit playful.

One affair to note, thank you to Apple'south new iPhone Self Service Repair kits, yous can now carry out your ain repairs, merely continue with caution here equally you lot'll demand some technical skills.

iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Brandish

  • 120Hz ProMotion display delivers smoother functioning and animations
  • Brighter screen easier to read outdoors

The biggest upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro Max's display — and biggest upgrade overall — is the new ProMotion display. This vi.7-inch console can dynamically calibration its refresh rate from 10Hz to 120Hz, which results in smoother overall performance and animations.

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

For instance, when scrolling on The New York Times homepage with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max adjacent, I could more than easily read the text on Apple's newer telephone when quickly scrolling on both displays. It just feels more responsive.

iPhone 13 Pro Max (left) and iPhone 12 Pro Max (correct) (Epitome credit: Tom'southward Guide)

These benefits carry over to other activities as well, such as swiping between apps or returning to the dwelling house screen. But I'chiliad more excited by apps that take advantage of ProMotion. This includes Catalyst Black, a corybantic online battle game that had me shooting in all directions and transforming into monsters. And the whole experience was wonderfully fluid.

The iPhone xiii Pro Max and iPhone 13 Max initially had an upshot where certain apps did not support 120Hz, but the iOS fifteen.4 update enables 120Hz refresh rate for third-political party apps.

Another plus for the iPhone 13 Pro Max's screen is its increased brightness. We measured an average of 837 nits with the Adaptive setting off and 1,038 nits with with Adaptive on. The iPhone 12 Pro Max averaged 654 nits with Adaptive off. The Galaxy S21 Ultra maxes out at 821 nits.

The iPhone xiii Pro Max's display delivers stunning detail even in depression-light scenes. When watching the trailer for James Bond No Time to Dice, I could make out every creepy scissure in Rami Malek's transformed face.

iPhone thirteen Pro Max review: Cameras

  • New sensors allow in more lite for brighter images
  • More powerful 3x optical/15x digital zoom
  • Compelling macro fashion

The iPhone 13 Pro Max has a bigger photographic camera array for a reason. The main wide photographic camera is Apple's largest still at one.9Ī¼m pixels (upward from 1.7Ī¼m) while offer a f/one.v aperture, which is rated to deliver a 49% more low-cal thant the iPhone 12 Pro Max. And the ultrawide camera offers a larger f/1.eight aperture (was f/ii.iv for iPhone 13 Pro Max) for brighter pics while offering a wider field of view.

(Prototype credit: Tom's Guide)

Zooming on the iPhone 13 Pro Max gets a boost too, every bit the iPhone thirteen Pro Max's telephoto lens offers a 3x optical zoom, up from 2.5x on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

And there'due south lots of camera upgrades beyond the hardware. For instance, the iPhone 13 Pro Max leverages the ultrawide camera to capture images equally close as 2 cm away. I actually enjoyed getting upwardly close with this slice of woods on a nearby embankment. While the iPhone 12 Pro Max struggled to become close, I could capture every nook and cranny with the new iPhone.

iPhone 13 Pro Max macro

The iPhone 13 Pro Max also did a superb chore capturing this purple pansy, with rich colour and lots of details in the petals. And I got real close to this dreaded spotted lanternfly crawling in the rocks; I could fifty-fifty make out each of its legs and fine lines in its wings.

Just bear in mind, the macro fashion tin can at times be fiddly to use, with it beingness fussy and jerky when triggering automatically, but Apple is working on a fix.

Another new iPhone thirteen camera feature is Photographic styles, which lets you choose how you want your photos to await in terms of tone and warmth. Your options include standard, rich contrast, vibrant, warm, cool. And y'all tin adapt these as yous encounter fit.

In terms of overall paradigm quality, the iPhone xiii Pro Max is a pace ahead of the other best photographic camera phones. Take this photo of pumpkins, which has the sun overhead and a fair amount of shadow. The iPhone 13 Pro Max captures a more than vibrant sign in the foreground and the pumpkins themselves wait more than vibrant than in the Galaxy S21 Ultra's shot. Even so, Samsung'south photo is a bit brighter overall.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max takes a more pleasing portrait of me standing in front of the Manasquan reservoir. My face and green shirt are both brighter. And if you're hanging on to an older phone similar the iPhone 11 Pro, you lot tin can run across how much better the new iPhone is; I come out nighttime and fuzzy in this shot.

The more complex a photograph is, the more the iPhone 13 Pro Max shines, every bit evidenced by this comparison shot taken near the edge of the water. The iPhone'southward photo more accurately captures the translucence of the water while making the surrounding rocks popular, while the Galaxy S21 Ultra's flick looks apartment by comparison.

Despite a jump from two.five to 3x for the telephoto zoom on the iPhone xiii Pro Max, it's however backside Samsung's best. Zooming in on some boats at 3x, I prefer the slightly brighter images from the S21 Ultra in this case. And at 15x digital zoom, the writing on the boat looks sharper in the Samsung shot. At least the iPhone xiii Pro Max's 15x zoom is better than the 12x max digital zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max's bigger sensor shines in this selfie comparison with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. My face and blue shirt look brighter with the new iPhone while I get a little bit lost in the shadows with last twelvemonth's camera.

When information technology comes to ultrawide photos, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is neck and neck with the Galaxy S21 Ultra hither. But I requite a slight edge to the new iPhone because of the detail in the rock and especially the ripples in the h2o.

To test the iPhone 13 Pro Max in depression light I shot these hydrangea flowers at night in almost complete darkness. Neither epitome looks very sharp, simply the iPhone delivers a more accurate pink and brighter green leaves.

iPhone thirteen Pro Max review: Video and Cinematic mode

  • Cinematic mode steals the show with automatic focus and bokeh
  • ProRes support for more artistic control

The Cinematic video mode on the iPhone 13 Pro Max is so adept that yous'll experience like a mini Spielberg. That'south certainly how I felt subsequently shooting several clips that apply a bokeh effect to your footage and automatically switch the focus to multiple subjects depending on what'south going on in the frame.

(Epitome credit: Tom's Guide)

In one video I recorded of a German Shepherd and Shepherd-Rottweiler mix, I appreciated how the iPhone 13 Pro Max automatically blurred out the dog in the background, resulting in a sense of depth, and I could modify the focus bespeak on the wing simply by pressing on the display.

I also had fun with the Cinematic mode by having my son capture me walking along a trail and attempting a layup playing basketball game. In both cases, the iPhone 13 Pro Max delivered a convincing bokeh with the video. Check out the video below to run across how iPhone 13 cinematic manner works.

Unfortunately, the resolution for Cinematic style is capped at 1080p across the unabridged iPhone range, so you can't have portrait mode videos and 4K quality at the same fourth dimension.

If you lot desire even more creative control, the iPhone 13 Pro Max supports ProRes video, a format preferred by video editors. You can record in ProRes up to 30 fps in 4K, simply note that only the 256GB and higher models support 4K; the 128GB model is express to 1080p in ProRes likely considering these files take up and then much storage. Check out our how to tape ProRes video on the iPhone 13 Pro tutorial for more than. info.

No matter what y'all shoot, you won't be disappointed in the iPhone 13 Pro Max's video quality. In this sweeping shot of the Manasquan river, everything from the heaven trees and puffy clouds to the rippling water and swaying branches looks DSLR-similar. However, I did find a little noise as I zoomed in at 3x.

iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Performance

  • A15 Bionic blows the door off of Android phones
  • Sizable graphics improvement

Cheers to its new A15 Bionic chipset, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is ridiculously fast and grabs the title of earth's fastest telephone. I got totally lost in the Warp Bulldoze racing game, which delivers fast frame rates and silky smooth action even equally you zoom (and sometimes teleport) around the track.

(Prototype credit: Tom'south Guide)

And I besides got a kicking out of Seek, which flexes the iPhone xiii Pro Max's machine learning muscles by instantly identifying several plants around my abode, from coleus to new guinea impatiens.

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

In terms of benchmarks, the iPhone 13 Pro Max one time again destroys the Android competition. In Geekbench 5, which measures overall functioning, the iPhone 13 Pro Max notched a multi-core score of 4,549 and a single-core score of one,720. The Galaxy S21 Ultra hit 3,440 and 1,123, respectively, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max reached iv,111 and 1,603.

Interestingly, the iPhone 13 scored a slightly lower 4,436/1,668, which we call back could be due to the Pro Max having more than RAM. (Apple doesn't reveal how much memory information technology puts into its dissimilar iPhone models.)

Y'all should expect a graphics boost on the iPhone thirteen Pro Max, as it vaulted ahead of the competition on the 3DMark Wild Life unlimited test. It registered a frame rate of 68.four frames per second, compared to 54 fps for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and 34 fps for the Milky way S21 Ultra.

Video editing should be quick piece of work for this telephone, too, as it took only 25 seconds for the iPhone 13 Pro Max to transcode a 4K file to 1080p in the Adobe Premiere Rush app. That's only a little faster than the 28.5 seconds from the iPhone 12 Pro Max but way speedier than the Samsung'southward 1:02 time.

Cheque out our iPhone 13 benchmarks folio to see how the iPhone 13 Pro Max and all the new iPhones compare to each other and the Android phone competition.

iPhone thirteen Pro Max review: Battery life and charging

  • 12 hours and 16 minutes of battery life is amid the longest lasting phones
  • Charging even so stuck at 20W with no USB-C port

Now we come to one of the best parts of the iPhone thirteen Pro Max review: bombardment life. Cheers to a larger bombardment and other enhancements, the iPhone thirteen Pro Max lasted a fantastic 12 hours and sixteen minutes on the Tom's Guide battery test, which surfs the web over 5G continuously at 150 nits of screen brightness.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max last year lasted x hours and 53 minutes and Milky way S21 Ultra endured for 11:25. Annihilation above 11 hours is bang-up, and then the iPhone 13 Pro Max earns a spot on our best phone battery life list.

(Image credit: Tom'south Guide)

Caput over to our iPhone 13 bombardment life results folio to run into how the iPhone 13 Pro Max compares to the other new iPhones and the best Android phones.

The news is not that bang-up on the charging front, as the iPhone xiii Pro Max reaches just l% capacity after thirty minutes using a 20W UBC-C charger, while other phones like the OnePlus 9 Pro and Xiaomi 11T Pro can go to 100% in thirty minutes or less. MagSafe charging, while convenient, is even slower at 15W.

At that place is some good news. The iPhone 13 Pro Max can get to 100% in a adequately brisk 90 minutes if you employ a college-ability 30W charger. It costs $49 from Apple tree.

iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Software

  • SharePlay lets you watch videos and listen to music with friends
  • Focus cuts downwards on distractions

iOS 15 isn't the spring iOS 14 was in terms of adding widgets, but information technology delivers some smart and fun upgrades. FaceTime gets some needed audio and video improvements and, as of iOS 15.1, you can use the new SharePlay feature to listen to music or sentinel movies or TV shows with friends or family. And the Messages app has a new Shared with You section for easier access to shared photos, articles and more.

(Paradigm credit: Tom'due south Guide)

I especially like the new Focus characteristic in iOS 15, which lets yous filter notifications based on what you're doing. Notifications are besides more streamlined, thanks with a new summary view and so yous don't go overwhelmed.

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

Other iOS xv goodies include a redesigned Safari (I actually don't like the address bar at the bottom, but y'all can change information technology), a more total-featured Atmospheric condition app and an enhanced Maps app with more detail and meliorate road views. Last just non least, Live Text gives y'all Google Lens-like powers by recognizing text in existent time via the camera for looking upwards things.

Developers make great apps for Apple devices, and that hasn't slowed down with iOS xv's release. We'd suggest loading up on some of the best iPhone apps or, if you're new to the platform, grabbing the best apps for a new iPhone.

And now that iOS 16 is official, nosotros have a lot more to look forward to. Apple announced a bunch of changes to things similar the lock screen and Messages. In that location is even an update to permit Face ID to unlock your iPhone thirteen Pro Max in landscape mode.

iPhone 13 Pro Max: iOS 16

Apple started releasing the iOS 16 betas over the summer, which you can exam on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The biggest updates coming later this year eye effectually the lock screen. Apple will at present let you customize it completely. Information technology's actually quite neat.

Other notable features include the power to edit/disengage send iMessages, some updates to the Home app, and much more. Be sure to bank check out our iOS sixteen coverage for more.

iPhone 13 Pro Max problems and issues

Thus far iPhone xiii owners have encountered a few problems. For example, some iPhone xiii users are finding that the phone won't unlock with an Apple Watch, though a ready is on the way. In addition, some iPhone 13 owners are complaining nearly the touch display not being responsive enough in some cases, which could be an iOS 15 consequence.

On the iPhone 13 Pros in detail, there are complaints that the cameras are automatically switching between lenses without alarm, and Apple tree has rolled out an update that will enable users to turn this off. And the ProMotion displays on the iPhone thirteen Pros are non running at 120Hz with some apps (opens in new tab), which Apple will be addressing in an update. Of course, developers need to optimize their apps equally well.

See our iPhone 13 problems roundup for more than info.

iPhone xiii Pro Max review: Verdict

The iPhone thirteen Pro Max is that rare phone that gets a 5-star rating from us. Y'all get superior cameras and video recording capabilities — including the very compelling Cinematic mode and macro way — blistering performance and a very responsive 120Hz display. Plus, the bombardment life is even ameliorate this time around and among the all-time we've seen from a 5G flagship.

I also capeesh the slightly meliorate 3x optical zoom and 15x digital zoom on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the brighter screen and the slightly smaller notch. But I wish Apple could deliver faster charging, and I'd like to meet a sleeker design adjacent time around with the iPhone xiv with less of a camera bump and peradventure full-screen look.

Some may simply prefer the iPhone thirteen Pro because it'due south smaller and lighter, equally there are no other functional differences between the two handsets. Merely if you prefer a bigger screen, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the closest thing to perfect you tin can make it a telephone.

Of class, you might want to expect another twelvemonth for the iPhone 14 earlier you determine upgrade from your current Apple phone; if so check, out the seven biggest upgrades nosotros want to run into from the iPhone 14.

Adjacent: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 fixes the one thing I hate near foldables and has a great camera that compares to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
