Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Google Pixel 11 Pro
Our Verdict: The Google Pixel 11 Pro is the newer of the two, a 2026 release against the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max's 2021. The Pixel 11 Pro has a far higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 13 Pro Max's 12MP, and the Pixel 11 Pro packs the bigger battery, 4850mAh 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 bigger screen at 6.7" against 6.3", while the Pixel 11 Pro has the sharper one at 497 PPI, and the Pixel 11 Pro uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the iPhone 13 Pro Max's LCD. The Pixel 11 Pro 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.
