Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (64GB)

  • Exceptional battery life that can last up to two days with light use
  • Vibrant and extremely bright Super Retina XDR OLED display
  • Versatile triple-camera system with highly praised Night Mode and 4K video stabilization
  • Strong performance provided by the A13 Bionic chip, which remains competitive years later
  • Premium build quality featuring a durable stainless steel frame and matte glass finish that resists fingerprints
  • Fast Face ID authentication that works at wider angles compared to previous models
  • Included 18W fast charger in the box (a first for iPhones at its release)

What we don't like about Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (64GB)

  • High initial and resale price point compared to the standard iPhone 11
  • Heavier and bulkier design, making one-handed use difficult for many users
  • Low base storage of only 64GB, which is insufficient for heavy 4K video recording
  • Outdated display features by modern standards, such as a large notch and lack of high refresh rate (limited to 60Hz)
  • Lacks modern connectivity and features like 5G support, USB-C (uses Lightning), and MagSafe
  • Fragile glass front and back that often requires a protective case

Verdict

The Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (64GB) is a high-end smartphone powered by the A13 Bionic chip and featuring a stunning 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. Its main advantages include a professional-grade triple 12MP camera system with advanced night mode, excellent battery life, and the robust iOS ecosystem. Key specifications include 4GB of RAM and 64GB of non-expandable storage. Potential drawbacks involve the storage capacity being somewhat limiting for modern use, the use of a Lightning port instead of USB-C, and the lack of 5G connectivity.
