Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max review

05 October 2021


Sort by:

Android-Authority, 05 Oct 2021IPhone 13 pro Max will be irrelevant soon as Snapdragon 898... moreI can't possibly think of a situation where A15 would be rendered obsolete by SD898 when SD888 is still falling far behind A14 lmfao.

    Android--Master, 06 Oct 2021All that A15 power is useless as yet again this year they c... moreLol I'm pretty damn sure thermally throttled A15 is still more capable of handling CPU/GPU demanding tasks than any chipsets used by Android devices running at their peak performance.

      [deleted post]Probably both.

        ABC Media, 06 Oct 2021OK 8k is not possible with 12mp.. Correct.. but who told Ap... moreYou do understand that FHD 960fps capture on Poco is interpolated, right? Nothing shows that IMX682/686 has an integrated DRAM that allows it to read out each frame so fast.

          JaiHind69420, 06 Oct 2021Dude, photos taken from an iPhone have less contrast. What ... moreNo, from iPhone 12 onwards Apple has been going really aggressive with emphasizing BOTH local and global contrast. There's also a decent amount of sharpening applied to the image, especially during low light, but it's mainly a clarity boost that gives its photos rather an unnatural look while noise reduction basically erodes all the fine textures away.

              Y'all must understand Android phone makers or Apple don't care about you no matter what you say. All they care is profiting from all of you, money is all they care, you the consumer don't matter. People can't seem to understand this.

                Android-Authority, 05 Oct 2021It's not just the weight but the overall in hand feel.... moreMost people uses a case, so grip and fingerprint is not an issue. I like the wider screen too. Only issue is weight and 12MP main camera. I prefer a 20MP sensor with 3:2 shooting mode. IMX718 Could have been a smarter choice

                  Just to give my 2 cents , Apple just provided a phone that fanboys would drool over, even if its 2 years late if compared on what present Android flagship can offer. I mean in just computational standpoint, the A15 is a monster, but everything else spec wise, this is a boring phone and nothing to offer from an android user perspective, but its a big jump from everything you have from last year pro max version and I share the same excitement as the reviewer.

                    Nick Tegrataker, 06 Oct 2021This is nothing to do with sensor size, there are a few pho... moreDude, photos taken from an iPhone have less contrast. What clarity boost are you talking about? You obviously don't know anything about photography.

                      i0S.- Never.- Again, 05 Oct 2021The cons of using a smaller cheaper sensor. This is nothing to do with sensor size, there are a few phones from 2020 or even 2019 that come with a smaller sensor yet render finer details than iPhone 13 Pro at the base and near-base ISO levels (Exynos S20/Plus, Mate 30 Pro). The thing is that Apple applies too much clarity boost and noise reduction to the point where virtually all very fine details are exterminated, which they should absolutely not need to.

                        Anonymous, 06 Oct 2021obviously you doesn't understand analogy...Your analogy is terrible.
                        A sports car costs $300k and above.
                        IPhone is as cheap as 400$.
                        Even for the expensive model, most people can simply save up for few months and buy a 1000€ iPhone. They can't just save up for a few months and buy a ferrari.

                          Anonymous, 06 Oct 2021Did I said anything about people cannot prefer android, im ... moreEveryone wants a ferrari? No man I want a buggati.
                          Someone else might want an Aston Martin or Lamborghini.
                          IPhone isn't the only flagship around just like ferrari isn't the only sportscar around.

                          You also need to also follow the context of the conversation.
                          Some guy accused gsmarena comment section of being android biased.
                          You need to understand the reality than around 80% people prefer android and don't want anything to do with ios. They are perfectly happy with their device.
                          If they had the money, they'll spend it on Android flagship, not iPhones. But on Android, a 200$-300$ device gets the job done, so they don't bother spending more on an Android flagship as they aren't looking for unnecessary power, just like you won't buy a sportscar for day to day driving around the city.

                              [deleted post]Did I said anything about people cannot prefer android, im saying it is not right to compare sales number this way. Everyone wants a ferrari, but why is ferrai sales much lower than toyota? They are just different product to cater to different needs and requirement.

                                [deleted post]First of all iPhone is no ferrari.
                                Over 200 million people bought iPhone in 2020.
                                The amount of people who bought Ferrari is far far less than that.
                                So your comparison is bizarre.

                                Secondly, the whole world doesn't need to afford a flagship phone, a 200$-300$ Android phone can do the job pretty effectively embarrassing the 1000€ iPhone in many areas.

                                  Anonymous, 06 Oct 2021Powerful chip does not mean the support for 8K@30 or 4K@120... moreOK 8k is not possible with 12mp.. Correct.. but who told Apple to be stuck on 12mp?? It was their decision and they have to be considered responsible for the same.

                                  What about 4k120?? I am sure the chipset supports it. Why isn't it there??
                                  What about 960fps video recording??
                                  Even budget poco x3 pro does 1080p 960fps with imx 682 and its good quality because of flagship ISP.

                                    i0S.- Never.- Again, 05 Oct 2021Only Youtubers you can trust are those who are buying these... moreTrue, but that is equally true for all brands. The reviews released straight after launch by reviewers who have received review units are not reliable

Also it's a phone, not a computer. You can't add tons of cooling when the weight is already 30% up compared to what we had a couple of years ago.
