The iPhone 13 Pro Max was released on September 24th 2021 alongside the rest of the iPhone 13 lineup. Starting at the same price as last year’s iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple’s new flagship maintains the same stainless steel design language, adds a 1 TB storage option alongside the 13 Pro, and sits squarely at the top of Apple’s smartphone lineup. Both the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max gain 120 Hz ProMotion displays for 2021, an entirely upgraded 3-lens camera system, and Apple’s new A15 Bionic.

Featuring five GPU cores over the regular iPhone 13’s four, the iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at 128 GB and is available in Graphite, Silver, Gold, and Sierra Blue.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at $1099 and can be identified by model numbers A2484, A2641, A2644, A2645, and A2643 depending on region.

You can identify the iPhone 13 Pro Max by finding one of the model numbers either on the inner edge of the SIM card tray or within the phone's Settings app:

A2484
A2641
A2643
A2644
A2645

You can find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like the numbers above.

The iPhone 13 Pro features a 6.7 in (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, and a notch at the top of the screen to accommodate a speaker and selfie camera. The back cover is glass and the edge frame is made from flat stainless steel.

Volume controls and the SIM tray can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A rectangular camera "bump" containing three cameras in a triagonal layout protrudes slightly from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max can be differentiated from the iPhone 13 Pro by the 6.7 in screen (relative to the 6.1 in screen on the standard Pro model).
