All iPhone 13 models have the same MPs, which means even iPhone 13 Mini has the same MPs as the iPhone 13 Pro Max does.
Best iPhone for Photography
There are considerable differences as you move from Mini to Pro Max in iPhone 13. Previously iPhones mostly varied only in pictures and not in videos.
However, a lot has changed this time as iPhone 13 Pro Max gets an exclusive feature called ProRes. The sensor in the new iPhone 13 Pro Max models has an increased surface area to light ratio, which enables it to capture more detail than previous versions.
The 1/1.65" size improves pixel granularity by 84% over last year's model while also increasing image resolution by 25%.
iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max
● Wide (primary) camera: Both cameras are 26mm, f/1.5 on 13 Pro Max versus f/1.8 on 12 Pro Max.
● Telephoto camera: 13 Pro Max has a 3X zoom and 77mm lens, whilst the 12 Pro Max has a 2.5X zoom.
● Ultra-wide camera: Both cameras are 13mm, f/1.8 on the 13 Pro Max versus f/2.4 on the 12 Pro Max.
● Night Mode Exposure: Because of the bigger sensor and wider aperture, the iPhone 13 Pro Max can use night mode with a 1-second exposure instead of a 3-second exposure on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max models have an edge on its standard and Mini model:
● The primary camera sensor is more significant, having 1.9m pixels and a wider F1.5 aperture.
● F2.8 77mm equivalent '3x' telephoto lens with PDAF and OIS.
● It is equipped with an upgraded ultra-wide lens with a wider F1.8 aperture for enhanced low-light performance and AF for Macro shooting.
All of this suggests, and it is also proven that iPhone 13 Pro Max is the best iPhone for photography.

Why iPhone 13 Pro Max is Only 12MP
Each brand names its lenses differently, with hundreds of acronyms possible per maker. For example, other phones have an astonishingly high number of megapixels, but iPhones still use 12MP.
The definition of a megapixel is that it is a unit of graphic resolution equivalent to one million; for example, a 12MP camera has twelve million pixels. However, a more significant number of megapixels certainly do not mean it is better, and this is because of several reasons:
