IPhone 11 Pro Max Review
There is nothing wrong with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. The screen is great, the game is free, and the triple camera system is versatile and efficient, but what impressed me the most about its battery life? To hit 30% before midnight, I had to force myself to use the phone as much as possible.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max is a bit taller and taller than its predecessor, but the thing you'll notice the most is how heavy it is at 18 grams. I quickly got used to it, but the extra weight already makes the expensive phone feel more luxurious. It's still a huge phone, with a screen size of 6.5 inches, and it needs two hands to reach the top of the screen.
It is one of the few phones made of stainless steel, and its sentences are as luxurious as the feeling of writing. It's more durable than the aluminum found on most smartphones (including iPhone 11). The back and front are wrapped in "durable" glass, but what's new here is the matte texture on the back. It's fantastic. I don't waste a day and a half as ugly prints don't come out, so I prefer a matte aesthetic over something that's clean and polished. Apple was not the first to explore this type of texture. Google did it last year with the Pixel 3.

The 6.5-inch size can be hard to get in your hand, but who cares when you have a massive screen for watching videos and movies? I especially like the large OLED screen and the extra space it provides when playing games.
Apple says it's using a Super Retina XDR screen that offers impressive brightness, incredibly accurate colors, and crisp 2,688 x 1,242 resolution. I had no problems watching shows with lots of dark scenes in bright sunlight, like the spy on Netflix. In HDR scenes, the brightness can go up to 1,200 nits (typical brightness is 800 nits).

Yes, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are among the best camera phones available. Not only the fact that Apple has added lenses (yes, it adds versatility), the enhancements come mostly from image processing.
Smart HDR is smarter. There's a new feature called Night Mode for superb low-light photography and Semantic Rendering, which lets you take multiple underexposed photos before pressing the shutter button, what you want when you press the button, and overexposed photos later to balance the lighting. Merge together. The camera can also understand specific parts of a photo, such as faces or flowers, and apply separate Smart HDR enhancements to those areas, rather than a holistic change to the entire photo.
Unlimited power, slick iOS 13. Click Here
I've never felt the iPhone 11 Pro Max too slow for work or gaming. This is thanks to Apple's A13 Bionic processor, which delivers 20% faster CPU and GPU performance than last year's iPhone XS Max. Running an app is as simple as switching between them. And I played several games on Apple Arcade for an hour, from where the cards fell to Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Kingdom, but I had no problems anymore. Performance.
Here are some benchmark results:
- AnTuTu 3DBench: 443,735
- Geekbench 5 CPU: 1,331 single cores; 3,444 multi-core
These are one of the highest scores I've ever seen on a smartphone, and the iPhone 11 Pro is the only phone with better performance. The Note 10 Plus is nearly 100,000 points lower than the iPhone 11 Pro Max's AnTuTu score. In practical use, Samsung's Note 10 Plus is a powerful and fast phone, but all of these are equally impressive differences. There are no problems running. Almost everything in the iPhone 11 Pro Max is there.
Battery life is a full day of comfortable, worry-free use.
