The iPhone 13 Pro Max offers a larger, higher resolution screen, which could be better for media consumption, though it may make the phone bulkier. It has a slightly better build quality and its camera system might offer better image quality in certain conditions due to larger sensors. The battery capacity is lower than the Galaxy S23 FE, but iOS is known for good battery optimization. The iPhone also has a high maximum brightness, making it more usable in direct sunlight. On the other hand, the Galaxy S23 FE comes with a newer operating system version, Android, which provides more customization options. It has a higher battery capacity, which tends to mean longer battery life, but also has a slightly smaller screen which might not be as immersive as the iPhone's. The Galaxy S23 FE's camera has a higher megapixel count, but megapixels are not the only factor in camera quality. The Galaxy also supports expandable storage, in case you need more than the built-in storage. Ultimately, if you prioritize a larger screen, build quality, and potentially better camera performance, you might prefer the iPhone 13 Pro Max, whereas if you want newer software features, longer battery life, and the flexibility of expandable storage at a generally lower price point, the Galaxy S23 FE could be the better choice.
