iOSCENTRAL REVIEW: i PHONE 13 PRO MAX

bigger wide camera sensor, better 3x

optical zoom, and vastly improved

ultra-wide with fantastic macro

capabilities.

In our CPU benchmarks, you can

see the results are all essentially the

same as for the iPhone 13 Pro, within a

typical margin of error.

Moving over to graphics

benchmarks, once again the iPhone 13

Pro Max is essentially the same as the

iPhone 13 Pro. The fifth GPU core gives

these phones a real advantage over the

iPhone 13, which has a four-core GPU in

its version of the A15.

With everything so similar to the

iPhone 13 Pro, you’ll want to read that

review (fave.co/3w59OgJ) for more

details about things like camera

features and quality. But we’ll give you

this photo of the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s

macro mode, which is simply stunning.
