Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max, 64GB, Space Grey (Renewed)

Product Information

Still, that’s the only big area of contention and, in other areas, Apple stretches out a lead. It’s IP68 rated for dust- and water-resistance, which means in this case that it can be submerged in up to four metres of water for up to 30 minutes. That’s equivalent to the depth of an Olympic diving pool. A feature Tom Daly might find useful, then, if he could squeeze it into his Speedos. You’ll have noticed the difference in cost between the UK and US - where previously Apple has been matching the dollars and pounds price tag for its iPhones, this time it's a little different. Yes, it rivals the cost of some MacBooks in certain territories, but that’s not really a fair comparison - these are different products with different specifications, designed to do very different things. However, it does illustrate how expensive the iPhone 11 Pro Max is. This feature is really only something that will appeal to the social media elite, those wanting to take truly head-turning footage with an iPhone, and with the onboard editing suite allowing you to alter the color and filters of the entire video directly on your device, there's a lot to enjoy here.

Video has also been improved. It now offers several modes for intuitive handling and better results. It is possible to record with an extended contrast range, ensuring that light and dark areas are more detailed. You can also toggle between video and photo mode with a single press. The front camera includes a new slow motion feature, called "slofie". iOS 13 operating system provides an extensive selection of post-processing tools. iPhone 11 Pro or Pro 11 Max? We tested the iPhone 11 Pro’s charging capability from absolutely flat, and it was rapid indeed: after just 15 minutes it was nearly at 25%, more than enough to get you somewhere in a pinch. 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. iOS 13, iOS 14, iOS 15 and performance

There's also SharePlay where you can share music, watch TV shows and movies, alongside sharing your screen, so you can show a recipient how you use a certain app. Mercury Free Display, Arsenic Free Display, Free of Brominated Flame Retardants, Return System for Old Models, PVC Free, Beryllium Free, Recyclable Steel Image quality, on the other hand, is pretty much unimpeachable and on a par with the best smartphone cameras on the market. The only phone you could say is better is the Huawei Mate 30 Pro but, since that phone isn’t available in the UK and doesn’t officially work with Google apps, it’s not strictly a fair comparison. With iOS 13 on board - and now an update to iOS 15 - the Pro Max feels more refined than previous models, and tweaks to the accuracy and range of Face ID make it simpler to use every day, with things like opening a notification when the phone is placed flat on a desk made much easier.

Overnight, things were quiet and the standby mode only lost 5-6% battery over seven hours, meaning we started the day with over 50% battery left. Normally, we see Apple stretch out such a lead with its new chips that the competition then spends the next year scrambling to catch up, and 2019 looks to be following a similar pattern. In the benchmarks, the iPhone 11 Pro Max outperforms all of its rivals by a significant margin, both for CPU and graphics-intensive tasks. If recent history is anything to go by, this year’s iPhones will still be the fastest smartphones on the planet 12 months from now. Instead you’ve got an upgraded haptic engine, where the rumbles under the finger feel even more like a mechanical button when activated, and a long-press system whereby holding your finger on an option will enable other menus. Despite the rather confusing name change, the iPhone 11 Pro Max sits in the same position as the iPhone Xs Max did last year, at the top of Apple’s iPhone range. It’s the most expensive handset Apple sells and the largest, with a 6.5in AMOLED display on the front, just like last year’s Xs Max. 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.You might think that such power – benchmarking faster than the Surface Pro 6 in Geekbench 4 – is a little over the top for a phone and that is certainly the case for things like running basic apps and performing core functions. However, it is put to good use here, particularly in the phone’s extended dynamic range 4K video recording mode. Here, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is able to capture 4K footage at 120fps – fully stabilised – with each alternate frame shot at different levels of exposure to produce video at 60fps with a pseudo-HDR effect. 4K video capture is probably the most demanding thing you can ask any mobile chipset to process and the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the most advanced 4K video mode of any smartphone on the market. That’s a pretty impressive performance, and not an achievement we’d have expected based on the performance of the iPhone XS Max last year - so it seems that Apple’s claims of a more powerful battery are indeed true. In day-to-day use we found that this is just about a 24-hour smartphone (assuming you sleep for a portion of that time), and the fast charger that (finally) comes in the box gives you around 20% in 15 minutes, and a full charge in just an hour and a half. The results were sometimes staggering - the levels of sharpness and brightness the iPhone can achieve using Night mode have to be seen to be believed.

Continuous Autofocus (CAF), Autofocus, Touch Focus, Dual Pixel Autofocus, Phase Detection Autofocus The new OLED screen seems to have more of a yellow tinge when you’re viewing white scenes or looking at photographs – these tints aren’t present when images are viewed on a computer screen, for example, so it appears to be and issue with the calibration of the device. Here are some comparison photos I shot on the iPhone 11 Pro, which has exactly the same camera hardware and software as the iPhone 11 Pro. It’s clearly apparent that the iPhone’s camera is fantastic: Interestingly, when compared with the iPhone Xs Max from last year, I spotted some colour balance differences. The 11 Pro Max produces images that are ever so slightly warmer than the Xs Max. This is a difference you’re only going to notice if you’ve shot exactly the same scene on each phone, with the same lighting conditions at precisely the same time, but it’s something to take note of nonetheless.iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone X S, iPhone X S Max, iPhone X R, iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation), iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions; iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15, and iPhone 15 Plus have a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes); iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 4 meters up to 30 minutes); iPhone X S, iPhone X S Max, and iPhone 11 have a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 2 meters up to 30 minutes); and iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPhone X R, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and iPhone SE (3rd generation) have a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes).

Clearly, it makes much more financial sense to choose an Android phone but, if money’s no object and your heart is set on Apple’s latest flagship, then there is no doubt you’ll be pleased with the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It looks and feels fabulous and, despite my initial reservations about the triple-protrusion of camera lenses on the rear, these look much nicer in the metal than they do glaring out at you from Apple’s billboard ads.

It’s battery life where the iPhone 11 Pro Max shows most improvement over last year, with a huge gain of 7hrs 22mins in our video rundown test (which we run with the screen brightness set to 170cd/m² and airplane mode engaged), for a total time of 20hrs 7mins. That matches Apple’s claims of “up to 20 hours” by the way, which is reassuring.Depending on the light levels (and whether you're using a tripod or not) the iPhone will ask you to hold still for between 2-5 seconds normally – however, you can manually extend this up to 30 seconds (if the iPhone is in a tripod or leant against a wall) to get ‘fully bright’ scenes. The iPhone 11 Pro Max was announced on September 10, 2019 and it came out on September 20 in the US, UK, Australia and a variety of other markets around the globe. The iPhone 11 Pro Max is the larger of Apple's two 2019 flagship phones. Compared to last year's XS Max, it features major improvements to the camera as well as boosts in processing power and battery life. Well, whether that conspiracy theory is true or not, the battery life on the iPhone 11 Pro Max is strong indeed, and here’s how we fared on the third day of testing...
