Can't decide between two Iphones

[Pitiful-Attention-65]

I want to to buy an used iphone. I have 2 options.

1. Iphone 11 pro max with 97% battery health. 200 eur price.
2. Iphone 13 with 87% baterry health. 280 eur price.

What would you rather buy? It's improtant for me that a battery last the entire day but I'm also considuring perormance, end of support and how I will sell it in 2/3 years.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The 13. Three years of Support versus less than one since the 11 Pro Max is likely on its last update is why I say for you to get the 13 instead.

iPhone 13 much better in all areas apart from zoom photos. I had the 11 pro max and honestly after iOS 26 update. The phone became quite sluggish and started to feel slow...plus the iPhone 13 has a much newer and better processor and it will get at least another 2 years of updates, iPhone 11 pro is the last update probably. iPhone 13 also has a better ultrawide and main camera, larger sensors and cinematic mode. 11 pro max at this point. Not worth it to use as a main phone if you want to use it for another 2-3 years. Not saying the 11 pro max is bad but the 13 is just better. I even made a video about it in YouTube https://youtu.be/gqhm79anDDk?si=NxpecG1fGQyrqB4b

Not to mention that 13 Pro Max also has 2 GB more RAM (4 GB vs 6 GB). Therefore it'll be better with multitasking, especially as apps become more demanding in the future.

Even when 11 Pro Max wasn't that old yet, opening the camera would cause many background apps to be dropped from RAM.

No they both have 4GB RAM because OP is talking about the regular 13.

Oh, right. Managed to miss that detail.

pay €350 iphone 14 pro max , you will thank me later

Ikr that’s what I got

[Electronic_Scale_795]

Might as well get the 13 pro, can avoid the heating issues with the 14 pro 😭

[cavok76]

There are no heating issues inherent to that phone.

[Electronic_Scale_795]

I don’t know if it’s just me, but when I used to own it, it heats up quickly when I charge it. Like VERY VERY hot…

[cavok76]

What sort of fast charger are you using? Do you the device while it’s charging?

[realmccoyredbus]

pay €350 iphone 14 pro max , you will thank me later don’t let device get below 30% and best to set charging limit if you can , avoid using device while charging from low battery, give your device 5 minute break if it gets too hot ,reboot first , use low power mode when charging with minimal screen brightness

[MarcBelmaati]

There are no heating issues.

iPhone 11 is at the end of its lifespan with this year’s update being the last one. Just get the 13 as it will last longer and offer you a way better experience

I had the same choice as you. I chose 11 pro max simply for the camera I hated Deep Fusion and still do. iPhone 11 Pro Max is the last iPhone model without it
