The Apple iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max have all the latest that Apple has to offer. Thanks to ProMotion technology, the screen refreshes 120 times per second when you scroll or play games. As a result, animations and games look smooth. When you read an article, your screen will refresh less frequently. That's better for your eyes and your battery. With the improved cameras, you can take better photos in low light and you can easily record professional videos. The iPhone 13 Pro is relatively compact with a 6.1-inch screen. On the large 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone Pro Max, you can optimally enjoy movies and games.
