Is the iPhone 13 Pro Max still worth buying?

Yes, if you want a large 120Hz screen, long battery life and strong cameras. It lacks USB-C and the newest camera sensor, so compare with the iPhone 14 Pro Max if those matter.

How does it compare with the iPhone 13 Pro?

They share the A15 chip and triple camera. The Pro Max has a larger 6.7-inch screen and a bigger battery, but it is heavier and harder to use one-handed.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it at up to 28 hours of video playback. Most owners get through a full day of mixed use.

Is it unlocked for any carrier?

It is sold unlocked, so you can use your current carrier or a new plan. Check that your carrier supports the phone's bands before switching.

A compatible charging cable and, per a customer review, a screen protector already installed. A wall adapter is not included.

Is it water-resistant?

Yes, it has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. That protects against splashes and brief immersion, not deep or prolonged submersion.
