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

Product Information

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. If you’re someone who finds yourself often flipping between Wi-Fi networks or Bluetooth connections, a long press in the relevant toggles in Control Center (those options you get when you drag down from the top-right of the iPhone 11 Pro Max screen) will allow you to choose the network you want. 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...

Loading a photo to edit takes a second or two as well, as does saving some of the image manipulations - while we appreciate that there’s a huge amount of processing going on here, we would have expected things to be a little snappier, rather than having to watch a spinning progress wheel appearing from time to time. The iPhone 11 Pro Max colors are attractive: midnight green, space gray, silver and gold. The dark green is easily the most attractive in our mind, and the most obvious statement you can make to announce ‘ People of the city, I have BOUGHT A NEW iPHONE!’ The first is Night mode - previous models from Apple have failed to capture truly impressive photos in the gloom, and other brands have stolen a march here, with Samsung, Huawei, and particularly Google leading the way, offering phone cameras that can almost turn night into day through advanced post-processing of images. Video quality, in particular, is superb, with the extended dynamic range mode helping to even out exposure when you’re shooting scenes containing extremes of light and dark. It’s also possible to shoot in 4K at 60fps fully stabilised and, while the stabilisation isn’t quite as good as OnePlus’ Super Stable video mode, it’s very good all the same.In terms of raw performance, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the most powerful iPhone on the market - and one of the most powerful smartphones too. Mercury Free Display, Arsenic Free Display, Free of Brominated Flame Retardants, Return System for Old Models, PVC Free, Beryllium Free, Recyclable Steel One thing we didn't enjoy was the use of the word 'Slofies' in Apple's marketing - these are just slow-motion videos that can now be captured with the front-facing camera, and you shoot them on all three of the new iPhones.

We say the results were sometimes staggering, because if you introduce any motion the whole picture is ruined. This means that if you're trying to snap some friends dancing, it's not going to work at all, and you'll need to turn off Night mode to get any kind of sharpness (although the pictures are still fairly bright). 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.

In day-to-day use, of course, the screen doesn’t reach peaks anywhere near this high – and nor does it need to. Measured highs of 758cd/m²(in auto-brightness mode) are more than bright enough to ensure the screen is easily readable in the brightest of ambient light.

It's the biggest and best 2019 iPhone, but does it offer enough?

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max has the best display I’ve seen on a smartphone, bar none. It’s the fastest phone I’ve tested, and it has the best all-round camera, too, with only the smartphone-a-non-grata Huawei Mate 30 Pro coming close. That means any brand trying to make a market-leading cameraphone needs to fill it with features, and that's what Apple has tried to do here. I think the phone has a very nice look and it feels very nice in the hand. The phone has a very good camera and you can take very nice pictures with it and play very many games and the phone has a lot of memory. The battery also lasts very long and the camera's functions are limitless. The software looks very good and runs smoothly. It also has enough ICloud storage space. All in one top cell phone! 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.
