iPhone 13 vs iPhone 16 Pro Max

Thanks to its three year age gap and the fact it's a higher spec model, iPhone 16 Pro Max outshines iPhone 13 in almost every possible way. Indeed, iPhone 16 Pro Max users will enjoy the ease of having an Action button, Camera Control button, Dynamic Island, and a phone that's optimised for Apple Intelligence. iPhone 16 Pro Max also benefits from enhanced safety features such as Emergency SOS via satellite, Crash Detection, and Road Assistance via satellite, whereas iPhone 13's only safety feature is basic Emergency SOS.

iPhone 16 Pro Max also boasts an A18 Pro chip which is a great advancement on iPhone 13's A15 Bionic chip. As you might expect with such a difference in chips, iPhone 16 Pro Max gives its user up to 33 hours of video playback time - a huge leap from iPhone 13's 19 hours. Additionally, the camera system of iPhone 16 Pro Max includes features that aren't available on iPhone 13, such as more zoom options, macro photography capabilities and the ability to take super-high-resolution images.

There's a lot to love about iPhone 16 Pro Max; however, its huge display might not be a good thing for every customer. The iPhone 16 Pro Max's display measures 6.9 inches, whereas iPhone 13's display is 6.1 inches. Therefore, iPhone 13 might be better for people with smaller hands or for those who like to carry their phone in their pocket. As a result of its larger size, iPhone 16 Pro Max also weighs more: 227 grams compared to iPhone 13's weight of 173 grams. For most people, iPhone 16 Pro Max is the better choice, but those who are concerned about their phone's size and weight should certainly consider iPhone 13.
