The iPhone 13 Pro Max counts with just a little better performance than Apple iPhone SE (2020), and although they both have a 64 bits processing unit and a Hexa-Core processing unit, the iPhone 13 Pro Max also has 3 GB more RAM memory.
Apple iPhone SE (2020) has just a bit better camera than iPhone 13 Pro Max, although it has a tinier camera aperture which is not nice for shooting photographs or video in low-light situations, they both have the same 60 fps video frame rate, a 12 mega-pixels resolution back-facing camera and the same (4K) video quality.
