iPhone 12 Pro Max review: how big is too big

Ғылым және технология

Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max is the biggest iPhone you can buy -- and it comes with an impressive camera to match. In this review, we go into detail about the bigger sensor, how it performs in low light, and whether Apple’s biggest phone ever is worth the matching price tag.

    Yeah...sry but that Note picture side by side looks way better than the iPhone, and thats especially thanks to its noise reduction which makes it look more uniform without losing a lot of detail. iPhone looks the muddy one there, with less AA, altough its trying to create more detail which to me just doesnt work in this instance.

    Great review, thank you. I’ve got a 12 Pro Max on order and it arrives Friday. The real-world reviews are just coming out and I’m gobbling them up. I kind of have pre-buyer’s remorse. You review hit every one of my questions. I sold a very good small mirrorless camera to offset the price because I found that I just don’t need it anymore because I’m not going anywhere anymore. So why not have a super camera in my phone for those times where I really do need one? Anyway, your thoughts and analysis are spot on and I appreciate them. I also appreciate your presentation. Some tech reviewers think they need to be a showman vs. doing what you do - just talking like you were with a friend vs. being on camera.

Should they start the review for the 12 Pro Max with "this feels borderline too big, so instead of reviewing the 12 Pro Max, we're going to review the 12 Mini"? He explained that as someone who likes big phones, this one pushes the limits...is that information not useful? He even mentioned he was glad for size variation & there are more sizes of iPhone than ever, so I'm not even sure what this comment is attempting to convey.

    I've been upgrading every 3 years since 2008, but I think I'll pass this time. My iPhone X is still working fine, though it could use a battery replacement ($69). It'll probably feel new after that. Spending as much on this new iPhone as I did for my 2020 11" iPad Pro with accessories/Apple Care+, which has the 120hz screen and Apple Pencil 2, doesn't seem to be worth it. I like having a great camera since I take a lot of photos, but the argument about this being a device for a much more mobile lifestyle is a strong one. Between two MacBooks, two iPads, an Apple Watch and an iPhone, I'm already Maxed-out on screens to look at. I've never bought a used or refurbished Apple product besides my Watch ($600 off retail), but with Apple's flagships now pegged at $1,099+ seemingly permanently, I may try to find one for at least 25% off in 1-2 years.

I just got it so it’s too soon to tell but so far I’m loving it and i can’t believe how fast it is!!!! I had the iPhone XR before this iPhone 12 Pro Max and I hated it it wasn’t a good phone it barely lasted me 8 months! I liked it for the battery that’s about it.
