Compared to last year's XS Max, it features major improvements to the camera as well as boosts in processing power and battery life.

But these are just numbers - what about the actual performance of the iPhone 11 Pro Max in day-to-day use?The results are pretty good, especially when you're snapping people in well-lit, contrasting scenes - in fact, get such shots right and the images can be stunning. The battery is a big problem though, it gets very hot and it takes some time until the battery is fully charged.

Apple or its trade‑in partners reserve the right to refuse or limit any trade‑in transaction for any reason. Apple has given users more control in Portrait mode, enabling them to adjust depth of field to create stronger or weaker bokeh effects. The full charge took just 90 minutes, so getting the fast charger in the box certainly makes the high cost of the 11 Pro Max a little more bearable. That’s because the iPhone can usually only display 800 nits of brightness (the metric for how bright the screen can get), which is still pretty good - but when playing a Dolby Vision film things get even more impressive (up to 1200 nits, according to Apple). The raw performance of the iPhone 11 Pro Max also impressed, although we did encounter some slowdown in the camera app; however, if you're looking to edit video on the go (and don’t forget this phone can shoot 4K at 60 frames per second, and do it well) then you’ll enjoy the extra grunt on offer.Read our Product Environmental Reports for detailed information on the environmental performance of every Apple product.

For the first time, users can easily record video without switching out of Photo mode with QuickTake by simply holding the shutter button to start recording. These sit proud from the back of the iPhone 11 Pro Max, with the glass square surrounding them matching the color of the phone itself, which helps to minimize the visual impact of three prominent black holes on the rear.

There were also occasions where scrolling through a downloaded film to get to a particular scene froze the footage, which was annoying when we were trying to find a brighter scene to test the quality of the display. We believe the Pro handsets have the most RAM of any iPhone, so it makes sense that the overall benchmarking scores are higher. This feels intuitive very quickly when you start using the iPhone 11 Pro Max, although it does get confusing when you're trying to rearrange icons on the homepage - you’ll need to select from a menu or wiggle your finger to start moving things around. Users can easily zoom between each of the three cameras, while Audio Zoom matches the audio to the video framing for more dynamic sound. It’s sharp on the edges, as it’s made by milling the glass down and rolling it into the rear of the phone.
