1. Design Comparison between iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro: The variance lies in dimensions.

Comparing iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro in terms of exterior design, one might notice the minimal differences between them.

Both iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max retain the same dimensions and design aesthetics of iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max, implying they are crafted from a single block with flat glass surfaces and chamfered metal frames, exuding a masculine, robust, and sturdy appearance.

The front display features a flat screen with the characteristic notch housing the front camera and Face ID sensor array for facial recognition. The button layout has been slightly adjusted from the iPhone 12 Series for improved user ergonomics.

Additionally, the color options for iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro are identical. This duo offers 4 color choices: black, white, gold, and blue (Sierra Blue).

However, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro still have a distinct difference, which is the screen size. While iPhone 13 Pro Max boasts a screen size of up to 6.7 inches, iPhone 13 Pro is believed to be smaller, measuring only about 6.1 inches (equivalent to the standard iPhone 13).

Hence, the feel in hand between the two devices will also differ. If you prefer using an iPhone with a large screen, opt for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, and vice versa.

2. Comparing the screens of iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro: Differences in size

In terms of screen quality, both iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max feature OLED panels, HDR display mode, Full HD+ resolution for brightness of 800 nits, up to a maximum of 1200 nits, along with a wide P3 color gamut.

With high contrast ratio, users can experience vibrant colors and high-quality image display in various lighting conditions, including bright sunlight or glare.

However, with a 6.7-inch size, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will showcase more content. Entertainment, movie-watching, and gaming on this screen will surpass the experience on the 6.1-inch display of the iPhone 13 Pro.

Nevertheless, the trade-off is its bulky design. If you prefer experiencing a wide-screen smartphone, then the Pro Max version is the suitable answer. Conversely, for those prioritizing compactness, the perfect choice is this iPhone 13 Pro.

In addition, both the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro now feature ProMotion display technology supporting a 120 Hz refresh rate. This allows for automatic adjustment of refresh rates based on displayed content to optimize power consumption. As a result, gestures and touch interactions on these iPhones are smoother than ever.

3. Comparing the Cameras of iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro: Virtually No Difference

Last year, Apple introduced differences in the rear camera systems between the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. However, this year's duo, the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, utilize a unified camera system.

Therefore, whether you purchase the latest iPhone Pro model, you will receive a triple-camera system designed in the iconic triangular layout. It consists of a 12 MP main camera with an f/1.5 aperture, featuring sensor-shift optical image stabilization, an improved ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto camera supporting 3x optical zoom.

Furthermore, this year, Apple has enhanced the camera setup on the iPhone Pro series with a plethora of new photography features such as Cinematic video, ProRes video recording, Smart HDR 4,... and the Night Mode photography feature, which has been the hallmark of iPhones, empowering creative users with versatile photography capabilities.

The front cameras of both iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max boast a resolution of 12 MP, integrating TrueDepth features such as HDR, face detection, 4K slow-motion video recording, Full HD video recording, autofocus, portrait mode,...

4. Performance and battery comparison of iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro

This year, the configurations of iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro are identical, both utilizing the Apple A15 Bionic chip. This flagship chip, built on a 5nm process, represents a significant improvement over the Apple A14 Bionic in optimizing energy consumption while maintaining the highest performance.

With this configuration, both models will possess the utmost performance in the current smartphone world.

Everyday tasks such as web browsing, app launches, or camera usage show no difference in speed. Even heavy games like Genshin Impact, League of Legends,... run smoothly on both devices without any lag.

Of course, iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro are also 5G-enabled for faster network connectivity. Interestingly, this year Apple has collaborated with around 200 different network providers, including 3 major representatives from Vietnam: Viettel, Vinaphone, and Mobifone. This collaboration will help users embrace the upcoming trend of high-speed networks soon to be deployed in Vietnam.

Battery capacity is also a criterion that users consider when choosing between the two devices. Thanks to its larger size, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is also equipped with a significantly larger battery, 4,352 mAh compared to 3,095 mAh on the iPhone 13 Pro.

Therefore, if you want an iPhone with the best possible battery life, the 'Pro Max' model is the superior choice.

Of course, both the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will still support fast charging at 15W and 20W wireless charging with a compatible MagSafe charger (not included in the box), which somewhat reduces the charging waiting time on the device.
