Both devices have the same 6.7-inch size, support 2778 x 1284 pixel resolution, Super Retina XDR OLED panel and integrated HDR10 technology to provide similar display quality.

Another difference between these two iPhone models is that the 13 Pro Max has an additional 1TB memory option. Although the Apple A15 Bionic chip is somewhat superior to the A14 Bionic, in reality, both devices offer the same processing speed.

However, the sensor on the 13 Pro Max is larger in size, capturing up to 2.2 times more light at night. In addition, the 3x optical zoom telephoto camera with a focal length of 77mm and the super wide-angle camera capture up to 92% more light than the 12 Pro Max. In addition, the camera system of the iPhone 13 Pro Max also possesses many other professional features such as: Photographic Styles, Cinematic Mode, ProRes, ...

In terms of charging capabilities, both devices are integrated with 20W wired fast charging and wireless charging (MagSafe and Qi).
