Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max / Apple iPhone 13 mini

ProMotion adjusts the refresh rate to the content, giving 120 Hz smoothness when scrolling and lowering it on still images to save battery. The Always-On display shows the time and notifications dimmed while locked.

Typical maximum brightness is 800 nits, 1200 nits peak for HDR content; typical contrast 2,000,000:1. There is no ProMotion; that is only on the 13 Pro models. Because the corners are rounded, the visible area is slightly smaller than the 5.42-inch rectangle.

The 3,000-nit outdoor figure is a short peak in strong sunlight, not sustained full-screen white. The screen has an anti-reflective coating.

Apple notes that this resistance is not permanent and can decrease with normal wear.

The GPU supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

The A15 in the iPhone 13 Pro has a 5-core GPU; the mini and standard iPhone 13 have 4 cores.

Capacity is chosen at purchase; there is no memory card slot.

It also gives a 12 MP 2× (48 mm) image by using the centre of the sensor.

4K 100/120 fps is limited to the main camera. ProRes 4K 120 fps requires recording to external storage. Genlock syncs several cameras to the same timing with compatible hardware.

The Center Stage camera’s square sensor allows landscape or portrait selfies without rotating the phone.

No adapter in the box; only a 1 m USB-C charge cable.

10 Gb/s needs a compatible USB 3 cable; the included cable does not guarantee that speed.

Availability of satellite features varies by country.

Camera Control opens the camera and changes settings such as zoom and exposure with slide and light-press gestures.

Apple notes that liquid damage is not covered by warranty and that resistance may decrease with normal wear.

The front camera also supports 4K Dolby Vision video and Cinematic mode.

The models on the UK page list no mmWave 5G. Ultra Wideband availability varies by region.
