Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max
Our Verdict: These are two phones from the same range, with the iPhone 13 Pro Max sitting above the iPhone 13 Pro. The Pro Max has the bigger screen, 6.7" against 6.1", and the Pro uses an OLED panel, which gives it richer contrast than the Pro Max's LCD. The Pro is the lighter phone at 204g against 238g. Only pay up for the Pro Max if you'll use what it offers; if not, the Pro makes more sense.
If you'd rather pay up front, the Pro is the cheaper buy at £239 SIM-free.
