It’s been said that size matters. The new iPhone 12 Pro Max is Apple’s most prominent phone ever produced. Is it a gigantic beauty or a gigantic monster? It depends on your point of view, is the correct response. 

There are four different iPhone models, from the iPhone 12 mini to the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the largest model, the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The saying “What fits my hand might not fit yours perfectly” is an excellent explanation for users who want to buy the iPhone 12 Pro Max and are concerned about its size. 

This article will evaluate the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s appearance, feeling, performance, and use of the cameras in various scenarios. 

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Design 

It is the follow-up to the iPhone 11 Pro Max from a year ago, and it is slightly thinner, taller, and broader than its predecessor. However, it feels smaller in hand due to the new 2020 iPhone’s cliff-edge sides replacing the comfortable curved shape of the 11 Pro Max.

If your hands aren’t enormous—the flat edges aren’t uncomfortable, in case you were concerned. If you could handle iPhone 11 Pro Max, why shouldn’t you handle the iPhone 12 Pro Max? 

The other distinguishing characteristics of the iPhone 12 line, such as the all-screen front, TrueDepth camera cut-out, raised lens rear camera panel, etc., are also present here. 

The camera has a unique design. As with the smaller iPhone 12, there are three cameras—wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto—along with a flash and a LiDAR scanner to help with augmented reality features, speed up autofocus, and enhance the functionality of apps like Magnifier.

However, Max’s wide camera has a larger sensor than the iPhone 12 Pro’s, and its telephoto lens has a longer focal length, providing an optical zoom equivalent of 2.5 times the wide camera’s resolution. The equivalent of a 2x zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro.

Apple decided to enlarge the other lenses to match the wider lens’ larger size because it had to. When compared to the 12 Pro, they are larger.

But what draws your attention to the phone is its size. And a large part of that is attributable to the display, which we’ll discuss next. 

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Ceramic Shield 

The iPhone 12 Pro Max, like the other iPhones released, has what Apple claims are the toughest rear glass on any smartphone on the back and a new, durable Ceramic Shield protecting the front of the phone. There are reports that the Ceramic Shield is more resilient, which is great for peace of mind.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Display 

The 6.7-inch screen on the iPhone, which is the largest ever, looks amazing. It slightly steals your breath every time it turns on.

This iPhone 12 model has an OLED display, which is gorgeous, colorful, rich, and detailed.

It has the lowest pixel density of Apple’s newest displays, matching the iPhone 12 Pro’s 458 pixels per inch while having a slightly lower resolution than the 12, 12 Pro, and 12 minis.

Naturally, the display is still very high-resolution, and there isn’t much difference between this screen and the others. But, as you know, it’s bigger. This is advantageous when streaming video. Since the phone has 5G connectivity and an HDR-capable screen, you can stream at high quality, and the result is stunning. Remember that the 6.7-inch display is slightly smaller than many tablets, though it is slightly more portable due to the absence of many tablets’ wide bezels.

One thing: although it wasn’t true, Max’s refresh rate was rumored to be higher than that of the other iPhones. Since this screen is so great, you will notice it is present despite your preference for phones with a high refresh rate.

The video looks excellent, whether it’s Netflix or something you just recorded with a camera.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Performance and Battery 

The A14 Bionic processor, which is present in all of the most recent iPhone models, produces a phone that is incredibly quick and responsive and offers a brilliantly enjoyable user experience. This phone is extremely quick and never leaves you waiting while you switch between apps, play games, or watch videos. Everything happens quickly.

The processor is currently quite capable, but it might be pushed harder as more demanding apps are developed.

Watching videos on such a large, detailed screen while using a 5G connection can drain a battery. Despite the demands placed on it, the iPhone 12 Pro Max has unbelievable battery life—well over an entire day. When you use it regularly but not excessively, you can still have more than 60% of it at the end of the day. It is really impressive. 

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera 

Each iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini has two cameras: an ultra-wide and a wide-angle lens. Along with those two, the iPhone 12 Pro also has a telephoto lens, which gives the wide lens an optical zoom of two times. As was already mentioned, the Pro has a LiDAR scanner as well.

But the Max separates itself from the competition by providing a unique camera experience. The LiDAR scanner on this phone is the same as the iPhone 12 Pro, and the ultra-wide is the same on all three devices.

However, the Pro Max’s wide uses a different, larger sensor with pixels that are 1.7 microns in size, which is significant for a camera sensor and allows it to capture light more quickly. According to Apple, this results in an 87% increase in image quality. These cameras are the best used on an iPhone and are unquestionably on par with the best camera phones, like the Huawei Mate 40 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

Conclusion 

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the best phone Apple has ever produced. The outstanding display, lovely design, lightning-fast performance, and outstanding cameras create something unique.

However, only some hands can hold it comfortably due to its size. It might be too much for you if you like to carry your cards and cash around in a wallet case with your phone. However, if you like the idea of a device that’s so large it feels more like a tablet than a phone, if you want the best cameras Apple has ever produced, and if you require a long battery life and quick performance, then look no further.
