Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max vs Motorola Edge 70 Pro
Our Verdict: The Motorola Edge 70 Pro came out in 2026, after the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max in 2021, so it's the more recent phone. The Edge 5G 70 Pro has a massively higher-resolution main camera, 50MP against the iPhone 13 Pro Max's 12MP, plus a 50MP selfie camera against 12MP, and the Edge 5G 70 Pro packs the bigger battery, 6500mAh against 4352mAh, though iOS and Android manage power differently, so more mAh doesn't always mean longer battery life. The iPhone 13 Pro Max goes up to 1TB of storage, where the Edge 5G 70 Pro tops out at 512GB, and the Edge 5G 70 Pro 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 Pro if you'll use what it offers; if not, the iPhone 13 Pro Max makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the cheaper buy at £310 SIM-free.
