Despite hearing quite a bit about the upcoming iPhone 13 Series with powerful upgrades in both hardware and camera, for those 'slow-living' users (waiting for the new iPhone release just to buy the previous predecessors), the iPhone 11 Pro Max remains a beautiful dream.
So, should you buy the iPhone 11 Pro Max in 2021? Read this article to make the most reasonable choice for yourself!
The iPhone 11 Pro Max may be over two years old but still packs a punch.

For Android manufacturers in general, with each passing flagship generation, it's easy to render the previous product obsolete. But with iPhones, it's different; one to two years old doesn't mean much in the life cycle of a new iPhone, especially with devices like the 11 Pro Max.
After over two years since its launch, despite significant shifts in the smartphone market, the iPhone 11 Pro Max still retains its robustness. Over two years of usage barely scratches the surface of this device's endurance. Not to mention, the design, specs, and camera of the iPhone 11 Pro Max show no signs of becoming outdated at this point.
An important point to note is that over two years, Apple has had time to address any iOS and Apple A13 chip conflicts, resulting in smooth performance and almost no annoying glitches.
Still the iPhone with the largest battery in the Apple family.

With its 3,969 mAh battery, the iPhone 11 Pro Max remains the iPhone with the largest battery in Apple's history. Not to mention its real-world usage, just looking at the specs provides reassurance to users.
And the actual usage figures further instill confidence in this iPhone's battery life, dispelling the stereotype that all iPhones have weak batteries. You can click here to see detailed reviews of the iPhone 11 Pro Max's real-world battery life!
Furthermore, the iPhone 11 Pro Max also supports fast charging of 18 W, which will help you optimize a considerable amount of time to recharge and embark on new experiences.
Performance and camera quality are still excellent in 2021.

One thing is undeniable, even though it's over two years old, the power of the Apple A13 still ranks at the top. With a 7nm process and 8.6 billion transistors, the CPU's strength exceeds the A12 by 20%.
The Apple A13 doesn't flinch at any heavy games available on the current AppStore. Its power also shines in more professional tasks like rendering 4K videos using specialized software. As mentioned above, even though it's over two years old, the performance of the Apple A13 still leaves plenty of room, even for the next 2-3 years.
It would truly be surplus if you care about the power of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, while your needs only include making calls, browsing the web, watching YouTube, Facebook, Netflix... or smoothly playing games like Arena of Valor, Mobile Legends, Call of Duty,...

Similar to its specs, the camera quality on the iPhone 11 Pro Max remains excellent. The DXOMARK score of the iPhone 11 Pro Max is currently at 117, which can be considered excellent. From image quality, white balance, detail, to deep learning algorithms, Apple has meticulously crafted them all, delivering the highest photo quality.
For the selfie camera, Apple delivers authenticity to the point of 'frightening' detail in each photo, and coupled with third-party beautification algorithms, the selfie photo quality on the iPhone 11 Pro Max is beyond dispute.
Familiar design, hand-friendly

The sharp design of the iPhone 12 has caused users to experience marks on their hands, with one user in China even losing a finger after using a naked iPhone 12. This has led to numerous complaints about this design on the new iPhone generation.
I don't want to compare the aesthetics between the two iPhone generations here, because what I want to emphasize is the user-friendly aspect. And in this regard, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is doing very well.
Although the weight of 226 grams on the iPhone 11 Pro Max feels hefty, if not downright heavy compared to a smartphone. But the rounded corners, smooth edges, and 2.5D glass make the iPhone 11 Pro Max easy to hold, and the bare-handed usage experience is simply fantastic.
Especially when swiping from the edges, something you'll hardly find on newer iPhone generations. But it must be acknowledged, most users will still buy a phone case for their smartphone, turning off the lights even if it's a thatched house or a mud hut.
But with the amount of money spent, albeit on used goods, users deserve the best experience. And the iPhone 11 Pro Max completely delivers on that.
Should you buy the iPhone 11 Pro Max in 2021?

My answer is yes, because in my opinion, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is still a worthwhile purchase at the present time. The Apple A13 chip is still too powerful, the camera cluster still produces very high-quality photos, the display screen is beyond reproach, and the design is still very distinctive and shows no signs of obsolescence.
I'll say it again, Apple will no longer produce new iPhone 11 Pro Max models, so currently, you can only find used ones. In short, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is still very worth buying in 2021.
