Apple announced there new smartphones in fall 2019 and the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the most expensive edition with the starting price of $1,099. The iPhone 11 Pro Max has similar specifications as the iPhone 11 Pro, except that it has an expansive 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display, a bigger battery, and of course, heavier weight.
The choice between the Pro Max and Pro purely depends on size preference. If you spend a lot of time to watch movies or play games on your iPhone, you will absolutely enjoy the content more on the big 6.5-inch OLED display. In terms of specs, the iPhone 11 Pro Max also features the Apple’s A13 Bionic chip with 3rd-gen neural engine, 3 camera lenses on the back including a new ultra-wide lens (ƒ/2.4 aperture and 120° field of view), IP68 water and dust resistance, an 18-watt charger for faster charging, and a new midnight green color option joining the silver, gold and space gray.

- iPhone 12 Pro Max A2342, A2410, A2411, A2412 Differences
Similar to other iPhone 11 editions, the iPhone 11 Pro Max also comes in 3 model numbers, which are A2161, A2218, and A2220. Identifying the model number is important because each is made for a specific country/region and their modem and antenna setups are different. For instance, the phone you buy in the United States might not work properly when you travel overseas. Therefore, you should check the cellular bands carefully before checking out, especially when you get it from an unauthorized Apple store.
Notably, each model number will come with numerous part numbers for different carriers, onboard storage, and color option. We’ve tried to put as many part numbers as we can find on the market.

Greetings to everyone
If anyone can tell me where I can buy to pre-order for an Iphone 11 Pro Max Model A2220 (Dual Sim – 2 Nano Sim Card)?

I will appreciate any honest answer
Thanks,

Peter Jan says
Hello Ion,
last year we bought an iPhone with dual sim on two nano sim cards at tegcom in Germany. I don’t know if they ship to Ireland but I think just ask them because they also ship to Spain and Greece and some other countries.
Good luck.
Bye,
Peter
Megan Jane says
Hi Ion,
If you are still looking for an A2220, I have a space grey model I want to sell. I puchased it from Hong Kong a week ago and have decided its too large for me to use.
It’s pretty much new as I haven’t used it yet – just unboxed it and realised quickly it wont work for me.
Thanks,
Megan

Is there any real life difference between using the hong kong model 11pro max vs the US version besides having physical dual sim slot when using it in the US? I mean like different software features or updates? Or having specific restrictions or limitations? Or anything that would be noticeable in the US?
Thanks in Advance for answering 🙏🏻
