Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Motorola Edge 70
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 leads on camera hardware with a 50MP main sensor to the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max's 12MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Edge 5G 70 has the bigger battery of the two, 4800mAh against 4352mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. Storage goes higher on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, up to 1TB against 512GB, and the Edge 5G 70 uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the iPhone 13 Pro Max's LCD. Only pay up for the Edge 5G 70 if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro Max makes more sense.
Buying outright, the iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at £295 SIM-free.
