Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB review

Design

At 6.2 x 3.06 x 0.32 inches and 7.97 ounces, the iPhone 11 Pro Max continues to be a handful. It’s heavier than the 7.34-ounce iPhone XS Max and also a bit thicker. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus, which has a larger 6.8-inch screen, is a full ounce lighter at 6.9 ounces and it’s also slightly narrower and slimmer at 6.4 x 3 x 0.31 inches.

Display

If you’re on the fence between the iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 11, don’t bring both phones outside. You’ll notice the huge difference in brightness that I did. In fact, the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display vastly outshined the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, too, when I put both phablets side by side.

Haptic Touch

Haptic Touch is similar to 3D Touch and offers much of the same functionality, but it is not pressure sensitive so there are not multiple functions for each press. Instead, Haptic Touch is like a long press with haptic feedback.

3D Touch, a feature that’s been available in iPhones since the iPhone 6s, has been eliminated in the entire 2019 iPhone lineup. The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max all use a new Haptic Touch feature, which was first introduced in the iPhone XR.

Haptic Touch is able to be used in many of the same places that had 3D Touch support, so most users are not losing features with the exception of the pressure-based feedback.

Camera

The new phone offers three stellar 12-MP rear cameras: a wide-angle, a 2x telephoto with wider aperture that lets in more light than before and an ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view.

All three lenses are 12-megapixels and the differences between them are detailed below:

Wide-Angle Camera

  • Larger 12-megapixel sensor that lets in more light
  • f/1.8 aperture
  • 6-element lens
  • Optical Image Stabilization
  • 100 percent focus pixels
  • The wide-angle camera is located at the top left of the iPhone

Ultra Wide-Angle Camera

  • 12-megapixel sensor
  • 13mm focal length
  • f/2.4 aperture
  • 5-element lens
  • 120 degree field of view
  • The ultra wide-angle camera is the right most lens

Telephoto Camera

  • 12-megapixel sensor
  • f/2.0 aperture
  • 6-element lens
  • Optical Image Stabilization
  • 2x zoom
  • 40% more light capture than in XS
  • The telephoto camera is the bottom left lens on the iPhone

The front camera on the iPhone 11 Pro Max gets several upgrades from the iPhone XS Max, including a sharper sensor (12MP vs. 7MP) and a wider view to fit more subjects (or just more of the scene) into your shots. A clever software trick automatically engages the wide view when you flip the phone to landscape mode.

The other big new feature for the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s camera is Night Mode, which kicks in automatically when the iPhone detects more than 10 lux of available light. In this comparison with the Note 10 Plus, Apple soundly beats Samsung’s effort. The Note 10 Plus’ shot is entirely too grainy, while the wood and decorations look more realistic on the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Better portrait mode

The other upgrade to the static camera is to Portrait mode: not only is it better at figuring out the outlines of the person, animal or other subject that you want to keep sharp, it’s also now able to work at a ‘normal’ distance, as well as zoomed in as on previous models, thanks to the extra sensor being able to pick up more information about depth. The results are pretty good

U1 Chip

Apple’s new U1 chip. This technology can pinpoint the exact location of other iPhone 11 devices with a U1 chip inside, and there are rumors that Apple is working on a Tile-like object tracker powered by the U1. For now, the only application to benefit from the U1 chip is AirDrop; you can point your phone toward another U1-powered iPhone to share content over the air.

Connectivity

The iPhone 11 Pro Max features the most advanced 4×4 MIMO antennas, compared with 2×2 antennas for the cheaper iPhone 11. On T-Mobile’s network, we saw a notable delta in throughput, with the iPhone 11 Pro Max averaging 12.5 Mbps down and 3.5 Mbps up in central New Jersey, compared with 9 Mbps and 1.5 Mbps up for the iPhone 11. 

Dual-SIM Support

Dual-SIM support, which allows two phone numbers to be used at one time, is included in the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. Dual-SIM functionality is enabled through the inclusion of one physical nano-SIM slot and an eSIM.

The eSIM feature is available in many countries around the world, and Apple has a full list of carriers that support eSIM on its website.

Dual-SIMs work with select carriers in Austria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, India, Spain, the UK, and the United States.

Water resistance

Apple has improved the IP68 water resistance on the iPhone 11 Pro Max; the phone can withstand being submerged in 4 meters of water for 30 minutes (up from 2 meters on the iPhone XS Max). That makes it more durable than any other flagship phone against liquids, earning it the top spot in our list of the best waterproof phones.

Battery

While the iPhone XS Max lasted a pretty good 10 hours and 38 minutes on our test, the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s battery lasted an average of 11 hours and 54 minutes, which lands the 11 Pro Max on our list of phones with the best battery life.

To put this runtime in perspective, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus lasted an average of 11 hours and 9 minutes, while the OnePlus 7 Pro was more than 2 hours behind with 9:31.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB Performance review

Our lab results backed up my real-world impressions, as the iPhone 11 Pro Max turned in an average nit reading of 761 nits, compared with 652 nits for the iPhone 11 and 686 for the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. 

When watching the Star Wars Episode 9 Trailer: The Rise of Skywalker on both the iPhone 11 Pro Max and last year’s iPhone XS Max, I could make out more gradations of color in Princess Leia’s hair as she hugged Rey. This is likely thanks to the extended dynamic range offered by the improved panel on the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The sound on the iPhone 11 Pro Max is just as bright as the visuals, as there’s now spatial audio with Dolby Atmos support. Apple has focused on improving its video recording with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and it shows. There’s now extended dynamic range for better highlight details along with cinematic stabilization for smoother footage.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max’s panel isn’t the most colorful, registering 118.6% of the sRGB color gamut, compared with 124.6% in the Note 10 Plus’ Natural screen mode. The OnePlus 7 Pro hit 180%. Regarding color accuracy, the iPhone 11 Pro Max’s display registered a Delta-E score of 0.28 (where 0 is perfect). That’s stellar, but not quite as good as the Galaxy Note 10 Plus (0.25) and OnePlus 7 Pro (0.18).

Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB Benchmark performance

On Geekbench 5, a relatively new benchmark that measures overall performance, the iPhone 11 Pro Max notched a single-core mark of 1,334 and a multicore score of 3,517, The Galaxy Note 10 Plus scored 736 and 2,691 respectively, while the OnePlus 7 Pro was also behind with 744 and 2,802. Last year’s iPhone XS Max scored 1,106 and 2,773. 

The iPhone 11 Pro Max didn’t perform as well on 3DMark, another graphics benchmark. On the Slingshot Extreme Unlimited portion of the test, Apple’s phone notched 5,974, while the Galaxy Note 10 Plus and OnePlus 7 Pro both cleared 6,200.

To test graphics performance we ran GFXBench, and once again the iPhone 11 Pro Max lapped Android phones. On the Aztech Ruins High Tier off-screen test, the iPhone 11Pro Max hit 1657 frames (25 fps), compared with 1,058 frames (16 fps) for the Galaxy Note 10.

How much is Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB – Price & model comparison

I recommend that you check out our iPhone 11 vs. iPhone 11 Pro vs. iPhone 11 Pro Max comparison for more details, but here’s the gist if you’re trying to figure out which new iPhone to buy. 

The $999 iPhone 11 Pro is smaller than the iPhone 11 at 5.8 inches, making it a good choice for those who want to use a phone with one hand. And you get a third camera on the back for telephoto zoom and a richer OLED display, compared with the iPhone 11’s LCD.

At $699, the 6.1-inch iPhone 11 gives you the most bang for your buck, including great dual cameras and the same handy Night mode and fast A13 Bionic chip found on the pricier models.

The reasons to step up to the $1,099 iPhone 11 Pro Max are its best-in-class battery life and ginormous 6.5-inch display.
