Using it since almost a year now.. I would say it’s a fantastic phone. I think the notch in 12 series is more beautiful than 13 series. Also a couple of cons are the battery backup has become not so great lately also what I hate in the video recording is that in low light it doesn’t shift to tele photo lens. It needs brighter surroundings. I would upgrade next year for the 16 series

Downgrading from 13 pro max to this, this may sound odd but my 13 pro max has problems with the screen and it’s too expensive, this 12 pro max isn’t all the different I think I’ll be fine

I’m getting the housing replaced for a non cracked one since the camera glass is cracked and it opens it up to potential water damage. All in all with the replacement housing I’ll still only be into the phone 260

Hi there! Responsiveness is still pretty good in iOS 17, battery life on the other hand is not as strong as before but I still get all-day battery life, battery is around 40-50% by the end of the day.
I literally just picked one up. Works amazing. Might have to get the battery replaced but it’s only at %87. Anything under 80 I consider bad.

I upgraded from the 11 pro max (which is just as good if you can afford the 12 pro/pro max. You just lose out on “square” Iphone features as I call them 😂.
Just my opinion after using the base iPhone 12 an the 12 pro max they are excellent phones in their own right but there weakest point is the battery life if your one of the countless people who start there day at 5,6,7 o’clock in the morning the the base 12 won’t make it a full day my 12 was screaming for the charger at around 5 so when I jump to the 12 pro max yes I was able to squeeze a couple more hours in but still wasn’t to my liking to were my 14 pro max I can average between 8-10 hours before charging an with being a android user at the time of switching to the iPhone 12 series not having my favorite feature the always on display was a big disappointment for me. I also agree if your coming from an older iPhone at least I would say go for but if your looking to switch from android I’ll say look at a different iPhone.
Switched to this phone from my old Samsung galaxy s21 fe5g which has 120hz refresh rate and I don’t feel the difference that much iOS by itself is so smooth that in my opinion 120hz or as apple calls it pro motion is not that nevessar
Im planning to buy a Iphone 15 pro max then I realize to go for Iphone 12 pro max .. I almost save half of the price and the half price that I save I will purchase a 12g 18K bangles.. its worth it🤣❤️

Ye. I bought iPhone xs max its gonna be my first iPhone. Then i will buy iPhone 11 pro max or 12 pro max i think. They not so expensive as 13 or 14 and not much difference so
I will say yes because I had to get rid of my 13 pm and get a 12 pm earlier this year and I must say yes it’s still a good phone didn’t feel much different from the 13 pm although I missed the 120hz screen and camera and battery life it still did well in those areas I do recommend it if you on a budget

Apple supports iPhones for a reasonably long time. Around 6 years of iOS updates, and even really old iPhones, like the iPhone 6s still get security updates, for now. So based on Apple’s record, the 12 Pro Max has some good 3 years left of iOS updates.
