Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	T3 | Matthew Bolton, Mat Gallagher As the flagship model, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the very best iPhone available. If screen size and battery life really count, then this is the model for you, though for everything else, the iPhone 13 Pro is just as good in a smaller package. Read full review
100	What Hi-Fi? An astonishingly good phone made marginally but undeniably better Read full review
100	Pickr | Leigh Stark The iPhone 13 Pro Max is easily one of the best phones this year, even with its high cost. There's just so much going in this mobile, and it takes everything that was excellent about the iPhone 13 Pro and sticks it with a bigger and more capable battery. Read full review
100	Stuff | Craig Grannell At a glance, little has changed, but camera and battery improvements alone make the iPhone 13 Pro Max a significant upgrade for fans of the biggest iPhone. Read full review
100	Tom's Guide | Mark Spoonauer The iPhone 13 Pro Max's stellar cameras, 120Hz ProMotion display and longer battery life add up to a practically perfect phone in our testing. The charging could be faster and Touch ID would be nice, but overall this is a beast that can't be beat. Read full review
95	ZDNet | Jason Cipriani So, if you currently have an iPhone 12, don't feel compelled to upgrade ... to anyone else, even iPhone 11 users, the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max are worthwhile, expensive and meaningful upgrades. Read full review
93	phoneArena | Victor Hristov At the end of the day, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is clearly one of the best big phones around. Read full review
90	Recombu | Peter Phelps Out of all the smartphones we've tested, the iPhone 13 Pro Max simply has the best camera, screen, and battery life, and so it's very easy to recommend. Read full review

90	NextPit | Camila Rinaldi The iPhone 13 Pro Max is superlative by nature. Right now, this is the smartphone with Apple's most advanced hardware and software experience, and while it doesn't have the best camera on the market, it is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-performance smartphone.

90	Android Authority | Robert Triggs Apple's iPhone 13 Pro Max is a very familiar handset with just enough new twists to keep it near the top of the pack. Read full review
90	Input | Raymond Wong The new high-end iPhones are faster, sharper, and last longer than any previous models. The incredible camera only has one annoyance, but thankfully iOS 15.1 fixes it. Read full review

90	Trusted Reviews | Max Parker A big phone that impresses thanks to a standout display, finally with a 120Hz refresh rate, best in the business camera and stellar battery life. Read full review
90	The Verge | Dieter Bohn The story of the iPhone 13 Pro is a story of iteration, sure, but iteration matters. iPhone 12 Pro owners will have to pay a lot of attention to see some of the differences, and an upgrade probably doesn't make a lot of sense. But if you're using something older, all that iteration comes on top of the major improvements from the iPhone 12 Pro - the upgrades will be very noticeable. Either way, when you start to pay attention to the details, prepare to be impressed. Read full review
85	India Today | Javed Anwer ... if you don't mind spending this kind of money, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is also the best choice for you. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews | Jonathan Bray Better in most ways than its predecessor, but most improvements to the iPhone 13 Pro Max are marginal. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Stuart Miles 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.

80	Gadget Speak | Paul Smart It takes good images and videos even in low light and that is what people seem to want. Read full review
80	Know Your Mobile | Richard Goodwin Is the iPhone 13 Pro Max for everybody? No, but if you're the kind of user that demands the best of the best and you don't mind paying a little extra for it, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is an easy recommendation. Read full review
80	The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs The iPhone 13 Pro Max is a beast with Apple's biggest screen, longest battery life and highest price...But all that size and power comes at a very heavy cost. Read full review
