Our takeEditorial
The iPhone 13 Pro Max holds up remarkably well for a 2021 flagship. The A15 Bionic, ProMotion OLED display, and triple-camera system were class-leading at launch and remain strong performers today. The IP68 rating, MagSafe charging, and stereo speakers add practical everyday value. The Lightning connector and fixed 128 GB storage are legitimate drawbacks worth weighing. As a Verizon Certified Pre-Owned device at $428.99, it represents a solid option for buyers who want a premium iOS experience without paying flagship prices. Just go in aware of the age and plan for eventual upgrade.
The Optimist
“The iPhone 13 Pro Max is an exceptional piece of hardware that still punches above its weight years after launch. The A15 Bionic is genuinely fast — faster than many phones released well after it — and the ProMotion 120Hz OLED display is simply gorgeous to look at. You get 3x optical zoom, MagSafe wireless charging, 5G, and IP68 waterproofing in a single package. Face ID remains the most reliable biometric on any smartphone. And now that you can pick this up as a certified pre-owned device from Verizon for around $430, the value proposition is outstanding. This is a pro-grade iPhone at a real-world price.”
The Cynic
“Let's be honest about what the iPhone 13 Pro Max is in 2025: a four-year-old phone with a Lightning port in a USB-C world. You're locked into an outdated connector that caps data transfer speeds and requires separate cables. The 128 GB base storage fills up quickly if you shoot ProRes video, and there's no way to expand it. At 240 grams, it's noticeably heavy in daily use. And while $430 sounds reasonable, that's still a significant sum for hardware that's two full chip generations behind the current A17 Pro. Proceed with clear eyes.”
