Tech Spurt
Reviewing Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro Max one month after launch, to see if iOS 15 has improved, if the camera compares well vs the Pixel 6 and Android rivals, and how the everyday experience holds up.
Thanks to Vodafone for sending in the iPhone sample, you can grab the Pro Max from £62 a month, with £49 up front:
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is one of the biggest and most expensive smartphones of 2021, but not the best. It’s fantastic for battery life and performance while the camera results are as good as most phone rivals. However, Apple’s software is still buggy one month on, while flaws like the hefty design, massive notch, dodgy sensitivity and lack of headphone jack/microSD support are downers.
Considering the extreme price of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, this is a tough phone to recommend unless you’re an Apple die-hard after the best battery life. For others, I’d recommend the excellent Pixel 6 which also boasts great longevity, a solid camera and impressive privacy tools.
