Movies and photos are also more easily viewed. The iPhone XS Max has a smaller display, but looks more compact and is easier to carry.
  • Camera: The iPhone 13 Pro Max is a clear winner when it comes to the camera. It has a Pro 12MP rear camera with wide, ultra-wide angle and telephoto and a front camera with 12MP true depth capability. In comparison, the iPhone XS Max has a dual camera - 12MP (telephoto) rear camera and a 7MP front camera for taking selfies.

  • Price: This may be one of the key factors that may swing in balance in favour of either the iPhone XS Max or the newer iPhone 13 Pro Max model. If you are on a budget or want an affordable yet superior Apple phone, you should buy a refurbished iPhone XS Max. If money is not a constraint, a refurbished iPhone 13 Pro Max from Mobile Guru at discounted prices beckons.
  • Battery: Apple understands the importance of battery better than most phone makers. Battery drain is a major issue with most smartphones. Charging your phone repeatedly or the absence of a charging point when travelling can be frustrating. The iPhone 13 Pro Max has a bigger and better battery compared to the XS Max.

Which is Better - iPhone XS Max or iPhone 13 Pro Max?

You will find the iPhone 13 Pro Max superior to the iPhone XS Max in most respects. It is technologically advanced with tons of features. Additionally, the larger display and super-fast speeds make it a favourite of most users.

  • Cost vs display: You have to compromise between a larger display and the cost. While there are some other noticeable differences between the two models, a bigger display is the key differentiator. Check out the price difference and decide if a larger and clearer display is worth investing in. The iPhone 13 Pro Max has an AMOLED display, while the XS Max has an OLED screen.
  • Battery usage: If you frequently use your phone for playing games and watching videos, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the right choice. It supports up to 28 hours of video playback compared to up to 15 hours of video playback for the iPhone XS Max.
  • Features vs simple use: Do you use your phone for simple calling or checking messages? Or do you want a feature-rich phone where you can use various health, entertainment and reading apps? Other factors that can influence your choice include the user interface and camera settings.
  • User age and profile: Another factor that can help you decide which iPhone to buy is the user’s profile. Are you buying the phone for yourself or your parents, or maybe your child? Is it your first iPhone or are you familiar with iOS and looking to upgrade? The iPhone XS Max is a comparatively easy-to-use phone with fewer features and a simpler user interface.
