iPhone 13 Pro Max pros and cons 

iPhone 12 Pro Max pros and cons 

Add to that a host of other enhancements, such as higher brightness, larger sensor size for the triple camera system, and pro features like ProRes video recording, and it all comes together for something indeed quite impressive. So should you buy the newer iPhone 13 Pro Max, or instead get the 12 Pro Max and save some money instead?

First, let's see the key new features for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and how they compare against the 12 Pro Max.

iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max in a nutshell:

  • Nearly identical design and styling, newer phone a bit thicker and heavier
  • Notch is 20% smaller
  • Same 6.7" screen size, 120Hz ProMotion vs 60Hz
  • Brighter screen on the newer model
  • Faster Apple A15 vs Apple A14 on older model
  • Big improvement in battery life: 2.5 hours longer on average
  • New cameras, bigger sensor and faster aperture
  • 3X zoom camera (vs 2.5X on 12 Pro Max)
  • ProRes video recording on the newer model
  • New Sierra Blue color

The new 13 Pro Max is also great at our YouTube video streaming test where it managed to play back video non-stop for more than 10 hours, a first for an iPhone, and it beat the 8 hour 37 minute score on the 12 Pro Max.

And last but not least, gamers will be happy to know that you get excellent battery life there too as the score there also breaks the 10-hour mark. This compares to just 8 hours on the 12 Pro Max.

On the charger front... well, you don't get a charger in the box on either one! Plan on spending an additional $20-$30 bucks for a fast charger here. Unfortunately, even these so called "fast chargers" that Apple supports are not quite as fast by modern standards, only maxing out at 20W, at least theoretically. We actually tried charging the 13 Pro Max with a 45W Samsung fast charger we had lying around, and it delivered higher speeds and fully charged the phone for just 1 hour and 40 minutes. Take a look at our charging speed test below:

On the wireless front, MagSafe is also still around with up to 15W charging speeds, that's unchanged. In our testing, using the Apple MagSafe charger, it took about 2 hours and 45 minutes to fully charge up an iPhone. And the magnets and their strength also hasn't changed on the 13 Pro Max. Take a look here for the best MagSafe compatible wireless chargers.

Cameras

All new cameras, a couple big new features too

While they look quite familiar, the three cameras on the iPhone 13 Pro Max are visibly bigger and the reason for that lies in the all new and bigger sensors that they use. First, though, here is a quick camera comparison with the iPhone 12 Pro Max:

  • Wide (main) camera: 26mm on both, f/1.5 aperture on 13 Pro Max vs f/1.8 aperture on 12 Pro Max
  • Ultra-wide camera: 13mm on both, f/1.8 aperture on 13 Pro Max vs f/2.4 aperture on 12 Pro Max
  • Telephoto camera: 3X zoom, or 77mm on 13 Pro Max vs 2.5X zoom on 12 Pro Max

Apple advertizes that the iPhone 13 Pro Max wide camera now captures up to 2.2X more light at night for both photos and videos, and the ultra-wide camera gets up to 92% more light, which sounds massive. That advantage comes from the larger sensors used. The main camera on the 13 Pro Max features a 1/1.65" sensor vs a 1/1.9" sensor on the 12 Pro Max.

But let's take a look at the actual photographs:

During the day there is hardly any difference at all and photos look pretty much identical. But what about the low light performance?

Interestingly, the newer phone captures slightly darker photos for a moodier, more genuine "night time feel". Notice the flaring from the lights that is quite annoying, it's still present in both photos and videos.

The trend with darker photos is particularly noticeable when using the ultrawide camera. Some people will still prefer that brighter look, but you may argue in favor of the more realistic tonality with a darker shot. And yes, detail is cleaner with less noise with the ultrawide, there is a more pronounced difference with this camera.

The larger sensor and wider aperture allowed the iPhone 13 Pro Max to use night mode with merely a 1-second exposure compared to a 3-second exposure on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

There is quite a bit of difference when using the ultra-wide camera as well.

In such low light, even though we tapped on the native 3X zoom on the 13 Pro Max and 2.5X zoom on the 12 Pro Max, both phones actually used the main camera with digital zoom and night mode in the photo above.

A new feature on the 13 series is called Photographic Styles. This is basically photo filers on steroids: you can do local edits in real time and you can see the results right in the view finder. You can pick a more vibrant look, or a different style, and you can have the iPhone remember that personal preference you have and use it across all your photos.

You can now also capture macro photos on the iPhone 13 Pro / Max thanks to the new ultra-wide camera that has a new auto-focus system that allows to focus at a distance as close as just 2cm for incredible close-ups. This same feature applies for video too, where you can record macro video.

On the video side, the major new feature is called Cinematic Mode and allows you to rack focus while you are recording, and even change the focus of a previous recording captured on an iPhone 13 device.

Just like the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the iPhone 13 Pro Max also comes with a LiDAR scanner. The main use of that scanner is for augmented reality, but we are yet to see Apple realize its full potential, and for the most part you can probably just ignore its existence here.

New Apple A15 chip

Gains!

iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max

Apple has the lead in performance in the smartphone space, and the new Apple A15 Bionic chip in the iPhone 13 Pro Max raises the bar from the previous leader, which just so happens to be the Apple A14 in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Both chips are build on 5nm technology, but the newer one features more transistors and a wider cache, and it gets improvements in CPU, GPU and AI performance, plus it brings very crucial camera ISP enhancements.

Below, you will find benchmark results from the iPhone 13 Pro Max vs 12 Pro Max to understand the real difference in speed:

  • Geekbench 5 Single
  • Geekbench 5 Multi

So far, it is said that Apple has bumped the CPU frequency up from 2.99GHz on the A14 to 3.22GHz on the A15, which gives an under 10% increase in CPU performance, and the company has also boosted the cache which helps get better multi-core performance. Our take on these numbers is that the A15 is faster, but the A14 was already fast enough, so don't expect some huge difference in the way these phones run in real life. This is more of a future-proofing move rather than addressing any particular problem. Unless you edit a lot of video on your phone that is, that definitely feels much quicker now.

On the GPU side, we are seeing slightly bigger gains. The new iPhone Pros with the Apple A15 Bionic scored 14,216 points on the Geekbench Metal graphics test, compared to 9,123 for the iPhone 12 family, and 7,338 points for the iPhone 11 series. That's nearly 55% improvement, a bigger leap than you might have expected.

But in more realistic testing cases such as the 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme test that simulates 3D gaming, we see more modest gains in actual GPU speeds. 

The iPhone 13 Pro Max also has the same 6GB of RAM as the previous model. That falls short of Android flagships but seems sufficient for the way iOS runs.

On the network side, you have 5G connectivity with support for mmWave in the US, as well as mid-band and low-band 5G, so you can get the full benefits of 5G. The iPhone 13 series also use the new Qualcomm's X60 modem, a welcome upgrade over the X55 modem used in the iPhone 12 series. The main advantage of the newer X60 modem is that it gets rid of one limitation of the previous modem: while the X55 bundled 5G downlink with 4G uplink, which was problematic, the newer X60 combines 5G downlink and 5G uplink for lower latency. One thing we had heard earlier in rumors and that did not happen on the 13 Pro Max is Wi-Fi 6e support. Wi-Fi 6e is the new standard that can theoretically more than double bandwidth by opening the 6GHz channel for customers for the first time, but we guess that might come to the 2022 iPhones.
