There\u2019s no difference between the two phones other than their physical size, screen size and battery life.<\/p>\n<p>This phone showcases a 6.5\u201d OLED screen that was the biggest ever fitted to an iPhone at the time - even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-13-pro-max\">iPhone 13 Pro Max<\/a> is only slightly bigger, at 6.7\u201d. It\u2019s a beautiful screen, but the specification elsewhere is a little less exciting. In particular, this phone\u2019s camera is a disappointment next to the best of today\u2019s phones.

Previously, it had been \u2018Pro\u2019. The change in branding reflected the major change to iPhone design from the iPhone X onwards. Previous Plus-sized phones had a 5.5\u201d LCD screen with fat borders above and below. The iPhone XS Max blew them all away, with a 6.5\u201d OLED that stretched to the edges of the phone and packed in more than 60% more pixels.<\/p>\n<p>Other than bigger dimensions and a bigger battery, the iPhone XS Max was identical to the iPhone XS. That was excellent news in 2019, but it\u2019s perhaps not so good now - the phone\u2019s A12 Bionic chip is three generations behind the latest, and its camera system looks particularly weak by today\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-11-pro-max\"> iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-12-pro-max\">iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/a> or iPhone 13 Pro Max, the iPhone XS Max is showing its age. But compare prices and it looks like a bargain. While Apple will happily charge you more than a grand for its latest big phone, you can buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-xs-max\">reconditioned iPhone XS Max<\/a> for less than \u00a3300. So is it worth it?

Compare it to earlier plus-sized iPhones and it\u2019s a stunning step forward, moving iPhone design on just as dramatically and successfully as the iPhone X did for the regular-sized devices. Gone are the huge borders above and below the screen - and with them the TouchID sensor. Instead, there\u2019s a huge, glossy OLED screen stretching away to every edge, and an enhanced FaceID camera for security.<\/p>\n<p>This phone\u2019s sides are curved, smooth stainless steel, and its rear panel is glass. Unlike newer Pro Max models, this is polished rather than frosted, but it still looks classy. The camera mound is far smaller than on newer phones - especially compared with the huge weaponry of the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The overall result is a stunning phone that\u2019s comfortable to hold, but not ideal for one-handed typing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616997156\/meew6jk4zg8w5basbhhc.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XS Max Front\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_13 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616997156\/iowbdpu9wpx27chigcqq.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XS Max Side\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_14 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1616997156\/xxrnsfarpiy1puimcexf.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XS Max Back\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"display\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_15 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_15 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XS Max - display<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_9 et_pb_row et_pb_row_1-4_3-4 et_block_row et_block_row_1-4_3-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_16 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_16 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1635400878\/IMG_0006_1_e1y1yl.png\" alt=\"Apple iPhone XS Max Display\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_17 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_17 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The iPhone XS\u2019 display was one of the key features that set it apart from any other iPhone. At the time of its launch it was the largest yet found on the series - fully an inch bigger than the iPhone 8 Plus, and with about 60% more pixels. But while it was amazing at the time, newer iPhone Pro Max models have a 6.7\u201d display - it\u2019s no longer the unique feature it was.<\/p>\n<p>Like the iPhone XS, this phone\u2019s OLED technology means it provides a bright, sharp, dynamic and crisp picture. It\u2019s perfect for gaming or other media, although it\u2019s a shame that the characteristic \u2018notch\u2019 housing the front-facing camera takes a bite out of the edge of the frame. Even so, several years after its launch this remains a great screen for anyone who wants more space for films and other media.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_10 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"camera\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_18 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_18 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XS Max - camera and video performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_11 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_19 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_19 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>While the iPhone XS Max is ageing surprisingly well, its camera is a major letdown. Although it\u2019s a dual-lens, 12-megapixel (MP) system, it\u2019s comfortably outclassed by today\u2019s phones. One of the main issues is comparatively poor low-light performance. While the latest iPhones can conjure up images in near-darkness, the iPhone XS Max struggles to make anything much out of the gloom.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s perhaps not surprising. Apple gave the iPhone 11 Pro Max a major camera upgrade, then made a similar step forward with the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Newer iPhones have bigger lenses and sensors to capture more light, and use software enhancements to create spectacular images in Night mode. The iPhone 11 Pro Max also introduced the third, telephoto lens found on all Pro branded iPhones. The iPhone XS Max misses out on all of that.<\/p>\n<p>You can work around the comparatively small zoom by getting closer to your subject - or using digital zoom if you don\u2019t mind the loss of detail that comes with it. Unfortunately there\u2019s nothing you can do to improve the disappointing low-light performance. With no Night Mode, this phone can\u2019t resolve images in very low light. It\u2019s fine for everyday portraits, holiday snaps and the like, but if you want a top quality camera, you\u2019ll need something newer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_4 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_12 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"performance\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_20 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_20 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XS Max -

Apple continues to dominate in benchmarks, and it\u2019s taken the competition three years to catch up with this phone\u2019s 3D benchmarking scores - most relevant for gaming and intensive media work.<\/p>\n<p>In the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme benchmark, the iPhone XS Max notched up 1,579 - about half what you\u2019d get from an iPhone 13 Pro Max, but only a little short of the 1,800 you might expect from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/samsung\/galaxy-s21-5g\">Samsung Galaxy S21 5G<\/a>. That said, like other iPhones this phone generates a lot of heat, and after a time it needs to slow itself down to prevent overheating. After 20 minutes, its final score on Wild Life Extreme was just 920 - a fall of more than 40%.<\/p>\n<p>We used Geekbench 5 to measure the A12 Bionic processor\u2019s number-crunching grunt. Its single-core score of 1,120 is just about the maximum you\u2019d get from today\u2019s fastest Android phones. Its multi-core score is far less impressive, though: at 2,799, plenty of high-end Android phones can keep up.<\/p>\n<p>While no longer dominant, there\u2019s no doubt this phone still has plenty of power to run today\u2019s apps and games. While its heat management means it can\u2019t sustain its headline performance figures, it\u2019s still plenty quick enough for most purposes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_14 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"battery\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_23 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_26 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XS Max - battery performance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_15 et_pb_row et_pb_row_3-4_1-4 et_block_row et_block_row_3-4_1-4\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_24 et_pb_column et_pb_column_3_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_27 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>With a bigger screen, this phone needs a bigger battery to match the endurance of the smaller iPhone XS. Fortunately, its bigger body provides the room. When new, Apple claimed the iPhone XS Max could playback video for up to 15 hours, compared to 14 hours for the iPhone XS. In our test it managed just under 11 hours - only about 20 minutes more than the smaller phone.<\/p>\n<p>While that\u2019s not brilliant, it\u2019s an unrealistic test that forces the energy-hungry phone screen to stay on. In normal use, there\u2019s plenty of juice for a normal day\u2019s use, even if that includes a bit of gaming or video calling.<\/p>\n<p>Apple says that, like most iPhones, the XS Max will charge to 50% within 30 minutes on a 20W charger. We timed 31 minutes - close enough. It needed an hour to hit 80%, and ticked up to a full charge in just under two hours. You can also charge this phone on a Qi wireless pad. While it\u2019s a bit big, it still fitted the wireless dock on a modern car.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_25 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_28 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Battery life<\/strong><strong> (movie playback)<\/strong>*<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_4 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_12 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 19hr 2mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_13 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 11 - Time = 14hrs 45mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"77.6%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"77.6%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_14 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone XS Max - Time = 10hrs 54mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"57%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"57%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_29 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Charge Time (0-80%)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><ul class=\"et_pb_counters_5 et_pb_counters et-waypoint et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><li class=\"et_pb_counter_15 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 13 Pro - Time = 53mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_16 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone 11 - Time = 55mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"96.4%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"96.4%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_counter_17 et_pb_counter\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_title\">iPhone XS Max - Time = 52mins<\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_container\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount overlay\" data-width=\"100%\"><span class=\"et_pb_counter_amount_number\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_text_30 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">*Battery life test involves looping the playback of an HD movie from fully charged until the phone shuts down.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_6 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"options\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_26 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_31 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XS Max - options and additional features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_27 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_32 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight:100;\">You could snap up a new iPhone XS Max in just three XS-only colours: gold, silver and Space Grey.

Many users reported WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity problems, while others noted that some portrait photos seemed excessively smoothed, as though airbrushed. Others couldn\u2019t charge without turning on the screen and unlocking the phone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight:100;\">Fortunately, all these issues were addressed with software updates - any iPhone XS Max running iOS 12.1 or later should work excellently. However, it\u2019s worth remembering that the oldest examples are now three years old, and that their batteries are starting to age. Like other iPhones, you can check the remaining capacity by opening the Settings app, tapping Battery and Battery Health. On well-used models this is likely to be less than 100%.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_8 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_21 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"verdict\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_38 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>iPhone XS Max - verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_22 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_39 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">There\u2019s no two ways around it - this is far from the latest phone. While it still looks great and works well for most everyday purposes, its performance is beginning to fall behind and its camera is disappointing. If you want a powerful phone for challenging games or creative media projects, you\u2019re going to need something newer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 100;\">On the other hand, if you\u2019ve got a limited budget and you fancy combining iPhone design with a lovely big screen, the iPhone XS Max still has lots to offer. With prices starting below \u00a3300, it\u2019s by far the cheapest way to get a plus-sized iPhone that\u2019s worth having. Provided you don\u2019t expect too much, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/products\/apple\/iphone-xs-max\">refurbished iPhone XS Max<\/a> could be a great everyday iPhone - particularly if you want to watch movies or TV on the move.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The iPhone XS Max was Apple\u2019s first plus-sized flagship phone since the design changes introduced with the iPhone X.
