Cases and glass for the iPhone 13 Pro Max
Here are the cases, screen protectors, back skins and sets whose choices include the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Most are made for a run of iPhones in one listing, so select the 13 Pro Max on the product page. It is worth checking twice, because the 13 Pro Max shares its outline with a later phone.
The one with the same outline as the 14 Plus
Apple's specifications give the iPhone 13 Pro Max a body 160.8mm tall, 78.1mm wide and 7.65mm deep, with a 6.7-inch screen and ProMotion, which refreshes at up to 120Hz. The iPhone 14 Plus has exactly the same height and width, but it is deeper at 7.80mm and has two cameras on the back. The 13 Pro Max has a Pro 12MP camera system of three, Telephoto, Wide and Ultra Wide, so its case needs a larger opening in a different shape. That is why a 14 Plus case is not the one to buy.
Weight, steel and glass: choosing protection
Apple gives the 13 Pro Max a weight of 240 grams, a stainless steel frame and a textured matte glass back. A phone that heavy lands hard, which suits tough and shockproof cases, with a hard shell over a softer liner, or bumpers with a soft edge round a hard back. For a lighter feel, there are soft clear silicone and ultra-thin hard cases. Also here: magnetic cases sold as MagSafe-compatible, leather and leather-look backs, a flip wallet, a card-slot case, kickstand cases, a crossbody lanyard case, and mirror, glitter, cute, printed and plated cases.
Screen protectors
The tempered glass comes in packs, and in kits with a frame to line it up. Hydrogel film is thinner and softer, and is not glass. For the back of the phone there is a faux leather skin in back films and skins.
Questions people ask about the iPhone 13 Pro Max
Does the iPhone 13 Pro Max have MagSafe?
Yes. Apple lists MagSafe wireless charging at up to 15W, with a magnet array and an alignment magnet, and Qi at up to 7.5W. See magnetic wireless chargers.
What charges it?
A Lightning cable. The one in Apple's box goes from USB-C to Lightning, and Apple quotes up to 50% in around 30 minutes with a 20W adapter or higher. See Lightning cables.
Face ID stopped working after I fitted glass. Why?
Apple says to remove anything covering the TrueDepth camera, such as a case or screen protector, if Face ID stops working. So check the glass is the one for the 13 Pro Max and that it sits straight.
