All iPhone 13 Pro Max models have a haptic-touch capable 6.7″ (diagonal) “Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion” (2778×1284, 458 ppi, 120Hz refresh rates) that occupies nearly the entire front of the device. It has four cameras. On the front — tucked in the “notch” — is a “TrueDepth” camera that in addition to supporting Face ID, takes 12 megapixel photos and shoots 4K video. The rear packs a 4K video-capable “pro 12 megapixel camera system” with three cameras — Telephoto, Wide, and Ultra Wide. The Telephoto has a f/2.8 aperture, the Wide has a f/1.5 aperture, and the Ultra Wide has a f/1.8 aperture and a 120-degree field of view.
Compared to earlier iPhone models, the rear camera system in the iPhone 13 Pro Max hosts larger and better sensors that promise reduced noise, faster shutter speeds, better detail, improved low-light photography, and macro support for the first time. It also supports “Sensor-shift OIS” for improved shot stabilization. These cameras additionally provide a new “Cinematic mode” with a simulated depth effect (1080p, 30 fps) and new “ProRes” codec compatibility (1080p at 30 fps on the 128 GB configuration and 4K at 30 fps on higher capacity configurations).
The iPhone 13 Pro Max uses a stainless steel case with flat sides and has a glass front and back. The front has a “Ceramic Shield” cover for durability and the back has an integrated “MagSafe” magnetic charging connection. It is splash, water, and dust-resistant to the IP68 standard (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). It originally had four color options — graphite (dark gray), gold, silver, and “Sierra Blue” — with a fifth option — “Alpine Green” — added on March 8, 2022.
Internally, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is powered by a 3.2 GHz “Apple A15 Bionic” processor with six cores — two performance cores and four efficiency cores — a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB of flash storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2×2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, Ultra Wideband “for spatial awareness,” NFC for Apple Pay, “Express Cards with power reserve” for compatible transit systems, and support for Dual SIM (one hardware nano SIM and one software-based eSIM or dual eSIMs).
Apple estimates that the iPhone 13 Pro Max provides “up to” 95 hours of audio playback, 28 hours of video playback, and 25 hours of streamed video playback.
