Our Review : Iphone 12 pro max
The iPhone 12 Pro Max, upon its release, became Apple’s largest iPhone to date and was widely regarded as the superior choice. However, its premium features came with a hefty price tag of $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$1,849. Presently, locating this device has become slightly more challenging as Apple no longer sells it directly.
   Although this review may seem outdated with the arrival of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, you may still be contemplating the purchase of Apple’s flagship smartphone from 2020 due to cost or availability considerations. While Apple continues to offer older basic models, it typically discontinues the larger variants without much fanfare. Consequently, you may find the iPhone 12 Pro Max at other retailers, likely at a discounted price, but not directly from Apple.
The design of the 12 Pro Max resembles that of the other handsets in the iPhone 12 family released in 2020. It features a new flat-sided frame, which gives it an industrial appearance but may be slightly less comfortable to hold compared to the previous year’s model. This design is not entirely new, as it was first introduced in the iPhone 4 a decade ago and has made a comeback in recent iPad Pro models.
Despite the incremental upgrades on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, we still recommend the iPhone 12 Pro Max as an excellent choice for fans of larger Apple phones. Additionally, the introduction of iOS 15 brings a host of new features, including enhancements to Apple Maps, more nuanced functionality in Messages, and the ability to watch or listen to media with others through SharePlay.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max boasts a premium aesthetic with its muted color options, and we particularly appreciate the shiny metal rim around the edge, despite its tendency to attract fingerprints. This design element gives the phone a modern and industrial look.
Although the iPhone 12 Pro Max is only slightly larger than its predecessor, the 11 Pro Max from 2019, Apple has managed to increase the screen size to 6.7 inches by reducing the bezels around the OLED display. This is a compelling reason to opt for the new, larger iPhone.
The larger display on the iPhone 12 Pro Max offers improved clarity and visibility, allowing users to see more content on a web page or image in daily use. Furthermore, it excels as a movie-watching device and was considered the best iPhone for this purpose upon its release. With its ability to render both vibrant and subtle colors with ease, it boasts one of the finest displays available in the market.

The camera array is the standout feature of the new iPhone 12 Pro Max, boasting three upgraded cameras with a better image processor. Despite the camera block protruding more than recent models, the main 12MP sensor captures significantly more light, resulting in impressive photos. However, in our tests, the 12 Pro Max’s camera performance was not significantly better than the iPhone 12 Pro’s. For aspiring filmmakers, the 12 Pro Max offers Dolby Vision recording at 4K and 60 frames per second, making it an excellent choice for high-quality footage. While HDR can enhance brightness and color, it may appear artificial and take up more storage space. Overall, it’s not a feature that most users should prioritize when upgrading.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max offers a minimum storage capacity of 128GB, which is the expected starting point considering the rapid filling of storage by the cameras. Additionally, with the inclusion of 5G technology, downloading content becomes faster, allowing for easier accumulation of movies and music on your phone. While 5G is the future of mobile connectivity, it is not currently a compelling reason to purchase the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Many regions still lack 5G coverage, rendering this feature redundant for most users at present. However, as connectivity becomes more widespread in the coming years, owning a 5G iPhone will be more about future-proofing rather than immediate access to next-generation speeds, unless you reside in a major city. Furthermore, 5G primarily offers faster speeds, surpassing even Wi-Fi in most cases.Â
Therefore, you may not feel a significant void in your life without this feature at the moment. Apple has also introduced the innovative MagSafe technology to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, allowing for the magnetic attachment of chargers, cases, and accessories. This addition is well-received, with an increasing number of accessories becoming available. As time progresses, MagSafe will continue to improve, and owning the iPhone 12 Pro Max will ensure compatibility with future accessories entering the market. In addition to its larger display, the iPhone 12 Pro Max boasts impressive battery life, thanks to its substantial chassis accommodating the largest battery among the new iPhone 12 models.
 Our testing revealed that it easily lasted a full day of use, even under heavy battery usage, with the need for charging only arising around 7:30pm. If you have concerns about the battery life based on our iPhone 12 Pro review, we recommend upgrading to the Max variant. For those seeking the best Apple smartphone experience, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the ultimate choice. Its large and vibrant display, enhanced camera capabilities, extended battery life, and powerful performance make it a compelling smartphone. If you can handle the additional weight and your budget allows for it, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is worth considering.
