Apple iPhone 11 vs Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max
Our Verdict: If you've got the iPhone 11, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is two years of updates on from it. Only the 13 Pro Max is a 5G phone; the 11 maxes out at 4G, and the 13 Pro Max has the bigger battery of the two, 4352mAh against 3110mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The 13 Pro Max has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.1" and sharper at 457 PPI, and the 13 Pro Max goes up to 1TB of storage, where the 11 tops out at 256GB. If you're on the 11, the 13 Pro Max is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
If you'd rather pay up front, the 11 is the cheaper buy at £119 SIM-free.
