Overview

Be aware that this A2641 iPhone 13 Pro Max supports 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n71, n77, n78, and n79. It is not compatible with 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This device is designed for carriers in Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the US territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the USVI, but is technically functional with carriers globally.


All iPhone 13 Pro Max models have a 6.7-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion" (2778x1284, 458 ppi, 120Hz refresh rates) that nearly fills the entire front. It has four cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "notch," supports Face ID, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a 4K-capable "pro 12 megapixel camera system" with Telephoto (f/2.8), Wide (f/1.5), and Ultra Wide (f/1.8, 120-degree field of view) lenses.


Compared to its predecessors, the iPhone 13 Pro Max's rear camera system features larger sensors for reduced noise, faster shutter speeds, and better low-light photography, while also introducing macro support. It also includes "Sensor-shift OIS" for enhanced stabilization. These cameras support a "Cinematic mode" with simulated depth of field (1080p, 30 fps) and compatibility with the "ProRes" codec (1080p at 30 fps for the 128 GB model, and 4K at 30 fps for larger capacities).


The iPhone 13 Pro Max is built with a stainless steel case and flat sides, with glass on both the front and back. The front is protected by a durable "Ceramic Shield" cover, and the back has an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Originally available in four colors—graphite, gold, silver, and "Sierra Blue"—a fifth color, "Alpine Green," was added on March 8, 2022.


Internally, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is powered by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with a six-core CPU, 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 storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, Ultra Wideband for "spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve," and dual SIMs (one physical nano SIM and one software-based eSIM or dual eSIMs).


Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 13 Pro Max are "up to" 95 hours of audio playback, 28 hours of video playback, and 25 hours of streamed video.


While pricing differed by country, in Canada, this iPhone 13 Pro Max was initially priced at C$1549, C$1689, C$1959, and C$2229 for the 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB models, respectively. Monthly payment plans started at C$64.54. Trade-in discounts were also available. This model was discontinued on September 7, 2022.

Evaluation

The iPhone 13 Pro Max A2641 emerged as the ultimate content creation powerhouse, receiving extraordinary praise from professional photographers and videographers across Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Saudi Arabia for its revolutionary 95-hour audio playback capability and industry-leading 28-hour video playback endurance that transformed mobile production workflows. Professional evaluations consistently highlighted the device's massive 6.7-inch ProMotion display as a game-changing tool for on-location editing and review sessions, with cinematography specialists in all four markets noting the 120Hz adaptive refresh rate provided unprecedented precision during frame-by-frame video editing and color grading tasks. Technology reviewers across North American and Middle Eastern markets extensively tested the device's ProRes video recording capabilities, reporting exceptional 4K@30fps quality that rivaled dedicated professional cameras, while the enhanced macro photography features earned widespread recognition from nature photographers and commercial product specialists. The model's exceptional battery performance under intensive usage scenarios was frequently cited by documentary filmmakers and travel photographers, with many noting that the device consistently delivered over 25 hours of mixed usage including 4K video recording, ProRes editing, and cellular connectivity without requiring external battery packs. Cultural photography specialists in Japan particularly appreciated the device's camera shutter sound compliance features combined with the extended battery life, enabling discreet shooting sessions that could last entire days without interruption, while business technology analysts across all markets recognized the model as the definitive mobile workstation for professional content creators requiring maximum screen real estate and uncompromising battery endurance.
