Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 11
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max's 2021. The Pixel 11 leads on camera hardware with a 48MP main sensor to the iPhone 13 Pro Max's 12MP, and the Pixel 11 packs the bigger battery, 4985mAh against 4352mAh, but capacity doesn't compare cleanly across iOS and Android, so it isn't a battery-life verdict on its own. The iPhone 13 Pro Max has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.7" against 6.3" and sharper at 457 PPI, and storage goes higher on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, up to 1TB against 512GB. The Pixel 11 is the one to have if you want what it adds, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the smarter buy if you'd rather keep the money.
Buying outright, the iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at £320 SIM-free.
