iPhone 13 Pro Max review: Apple?s heavyweight super phone

But while it looks great, its large size and solid-feeling stainless steel sides come with a major downside: weight.

Apple also offers trade-in and free recycling schemes, including for non-Apple products.

Apple provides software updates for its smartphones for longer than any other manufacturer. You an expect at least five years of software and security updates but potentially as long as seven years, so you can use the phone safely for longer.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max costs £1,049 ($1,099/A$1,849) with 128GB of storage, £1,049 ($1,199/A$2,019) for 256GB, £1,249 ($1,399/A$2,369) for 512GB or £1,449 ($1,599/A$2,719) for 1TB.

For comparison, the iPhone 13 costs £779, the iPhone 13 Pro costs £949, the Galaxy S21 Ultra costs £1,149, the OnePlus 9 Pro costs £829 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 costs £949.

But all that size and power comes at a very heavy cost. Literally. The phone is just too heavy.
