The iPhone 11 Pro Max was the first iPhone with a triple-camera system, giving you an ultra-wide shot Apple had never offered before. Buy it refurbished and you get that camera range for a fraction of the price, battery-backed at 85%+ so it still shoots as well as it did on day one.
At a glance
The refurbished iPhone 11 Pro Max is the cheapest big screen iPhone that still holds up well when it comes to camera quality. It comes with a 6.5-inch OLED display and the A13 Bionic chip. It's a strong choice if you want a big-screen iPhone with a reliable camera at a refurbished price.
It suits anyone who wants Apple's signature Pro camera setup without paying flagship prices, and users who prioritise screen size and battery life over having the newest chip.
If you are comparing iPhone 11 Pro Max deals in the UK, the main difference is testing and aftercare. A professionally refurbished iPhone from The Big Phone Store gives you clear grading, battery checks, warranty cover and support after purchase.

Features and Improvements
The iPhone 11 Pro Max improves on the iPhone XS Max most clearly in camera capability, battery life and display technology.
Feature | What This Model Offers | What You Notice |
|---|---|---|
Screen | 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, 2688 x 1242 resolution | A large, sharp display that's excellent for video, photos and browsing. Everyday scrolling is a breeze with this phone. |
Camera | Triple 12MP: Wide, Ultra Wide, Telephoto 2x 12MP front camera | The new camera upgrades mean you can take clear photos in more situations without losing quality. Photos in the dark? No problem. Group shot of all your friends and family? Piece of cake. |
Battery life | Up to 20 hours video playback | You get a full day of use without needing to top up the battery. This gives you a hassle-free day without worrying about whether or not you have access to a charger. |
iOS / Software | Supports iOS 26, but nearing the end of its support life | The phone is fully secure and modern in 2026. It should work just fine for another couple of years, which at this price point is impressive. |
Dimensions | 158.0 x 77.8 x 8.1mm, 226g | A large phone that suits anyone who wants a bigger screen and doesn't mind the extra weight. |
Feature Note: The iPhone 11 Pro Max does not support 5G or MagSafe, meaning mobile data may not work as fast as on newer phones, and magnetic accessories aren’t compatible.
The Big Phone Store Team Summary: The main reasons to choose the 11 Pro Max over the iPhone XS Max are the camera quality and screen size. It's also the better long-term buy if you plan to keep the phone for a few years, thanks to its improved battery and durability.
The 11 Pro Max was the phone that got me into taking photos on my iPhone properly.
The Night Mode was such a leap over what came before it, and even now it holds its own against newer phones when the lighting isn't perfect. We take it for granted today, but Night Mode is seriously useful.
This is a great phone for anyone who wants a big, capable phone without spending the big bucks. It might not last you as long as a newer iPhone, but it'll do everything you need for the time being.
