The following table lists the key differences between the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, most of which are directly related to the size of the smartphone.
The iPhone 13 Pro has a generous screen size of 6.1″ and an impressive battery life of more than 20 hours for video playback. There have not been significant improvements in battery life between the last two models, namely the iPhone 11 and 12, and so the 25% battery life improvement in iPhone 13 Pro is impressive.
While everything appears “smaller” for the iPhone 13 Pro, it does have a slightly higher PPI than the Max in a very high-resolution display.
