Overview

Be aware that this A2643 iPhone 13 Pro Max is compatible with 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n77, n78, and n79. It does not support 5G NR bands n29 (700d MHz) and n71 (600 MHz), nor does it support 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This model is intended for carriers almost everywhere—it is sold in at least 189 countries—but not in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, or a few other nations. It is, however, technically functional with carriers globally.


All iPhone 13 Pro Max models feature a 6.7-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion" (2778x1284, 458 ppi, 120Hz refresh rates) that covers almost 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.


In contrast to its predecessors, the iPhone 13 Pro Max's rear camera system has larger sensors that deliver reduced noise, allow for faster shutter speeds, and improve low-light photography, while also adding 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 with flat sides, with a glass front and back. The front has a durable "Ceramic Shield" cover, and the back includes an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Initially 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 the UK, this iPhone 13 Pro Max was initially priced at £1049, £1149, £1349, and £1549 for the 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB models, respectively. It was also offered with monthly payments starting from £43.70. Trade-in discounts were also available. This model was discontinued on September 7, 2022.
