Design
The design of the iPhone 11 Pro Max has not changed significantly. However, this cannot be taken as a minus for a bunch of reasons, which you will read below. Apple has used a good combination of polished stainless steel and strong textured frosted glass. The company assures us that this is the strongest glass that has ever been used in an iPhone.
