Camera

The iPhone 13 pro max starts with an improved main (or ‘wide’) camera on the back, which gets a larger sensor with big 1.9µm pixels. The 12MP sensor itself is stabilized (as was on the 12 Pro Max), and the optics inside the 26mm-equivalent lens with an f/1.5 aperture only need to move for focusing.

The telephoto has gained some extra reach – to a 77mm equivalent or 3x zoom, up from 2x on the 13 Pro Max and 2.5x on the 12 Pro Max. It has lost some lens power in the process, and the aperture now is f/2.8 instead of f/2.2. The lens is still stabilized, and the sensor is still 12MP.
