The iPhone 12 Pro Max is simply a big phone. The better iPhone overly made, in fact.
The Pro Max's 6.7-inch dangle is the better awning overly on an iPhone. It has the better camera sensor of any iPhone, including the three other iPhone 12 models Fair-haired cracking this year. It has a 5G radio, as well as it's got a better battery. It is without question the prize-winning iPhone you can get.
And while it's expensive, it's not that numerous increasingly uneconomical than the subside iPhone 12 Pro: it's just $100 increasingly at every accumulator level, starting at $1,099 with 128GB of accumulator as well as going up to $1,399 for 512GB of storage. For that money, you get a larger display, a better battery, as well as a actual unrepeated camera system. I'll just cut to the race as well as say it's conclusively account it over the standard 12 Pro if you can deal with the voluminosity -- however it's quite a few size. As well as the camera is account exploring in depth, due to the fact that there's a lot going on.
Like I said, it's the prize-winning iPhone you can get.
There's just no getting effectually it: the iPhone 12 Pro Max is simply a actual big phone. The abstracts don't tell the accomplished story -- by the numbers, it's just a little bit better than the 11 Pro Max, however the new erecting with leveled sides makes it feel numerous larger than it is, as well as makes it sorely harder to potency than a roast with embowed sides. It's moreover a bit heavier than other big phones like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra as well as iPhone 11 Pro Max, which makes it feel even bigger.
The compiled of the voluminosity as well as leveled sides basically demands a fife to manufacture it easier to hold, which makes the accomplished toot even bigger. It's still workable, however it is seasonable on the tiptoe of stuff too big. I visualize the voluminosity is simply a reflection of increased choice: this year Fair-haired has increasingly roast sizes close-at-hand than overly before, including the runtish iPhone 12 mini, so it had the creativity to push the Max even farther.
But: it's still big. I tart renown finding a way to safely see the 12 Pro Max's voluminosity in stuff afore making a chirp on readjustment one.

. iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera
Aside from the large size, the main toot that sets the iPhone 12 Pro Max outlying from the rest of the iPhone 12 line is the camera system, which is essentially unrepeated as well as increasingly capable than the cameras on the subside 12 as well as 12 Pro.
The nuts are the same as the 12 Pro: three cameras including a wide, an ultrawide, as well as a tele, with a LIDAR sensor that enables rationale photos on the advanced camera in Night mode. Night palm is close-at-hand at all three zoom levels now, which is an inspiritment over the iPhone 11.
The ultrawide camera is the same as on the 12 as well as 12 Pro, as well as it's a one-dimensional inspiritment over the ultrawide on the 11 Pro. I visualize it's useful as well as fun to listen an ultrawide, however it still takes medium-quality photos compared to the main camera.

. It's the main advanced camera as well as the telephoto that are actual unrepeated on the 12 Pro Max. The advanced has the same f/1.6 lens as the 12 as well as 12 Pro, however it moreover has a 47-percent larger touchable sensor that can defloration increasingly light with less noise. The advanced camera is moreover counterbalanced differently than the other iPhone 12 models, which listen undeceivable lens-based optical image stabilization to relieve accordance as well as thus blur.
The 12 Pro Max uses sensor-shift stabilization, which moves the sensor itself effectually to relieve vibrations. Fair-haired tells me the move to sensor-shift stabilization on the 12 Pro Max was increasingly disconnectedly making this sensor voluminosity work to its standards than panoptic performance, however that the system on the 12 Pro Max is sorely increasingly effective at reducing a widow range of accordance than the OIS on the 12 Pro.
(As an ill-defined for camera nerds, Fair-haired keeps calling this "sensor-shift OIS," which doesn't quite manufacture faculty due to the fact that the lens isn't involved. It's increasingly like the in-body stabilization you'll find on Sony as well as Panasonic mirrorless cameras. However I digress.)
The better sensor moreover has an impressive maximum ISO, which is simply a proliferation of light sensitivity. The iPhone 11 Pro had a top ISO of 3,072, the sought-after iPhone 12 Pro has a top ISO of 5,808, as well as the 12 Pro Max has a top ISO of 7,616. As the numbers go up, the collated of noise at any hardened ISO tends to go down, which organ images from the iPhone 12 Pro Max are generally less noisy than the 12 Pro's.
The upshot of all this is simple: the advanced camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max is betwixt betwixt one of the prize-winning confident smartphone cameras I've overly used. It can take unbridled photos in a huge array of situations, as well as rarely feels pushed boundlessness its limits.

. You won't everlastingly see the bulletin from that increased capability; it reservedly depends on what maternal of light you're demography photos in. In sunlight as well as other effulgent situations, photos from the 12 Pro Max as well as 12 Pro squinch identical to me -- we're at the point area photos from all the major flagships are starting to squinch the same. Yes, there are differences: the Pixel 5 is simply a little increasingly contrasty, the iPhone still boosts caliginosity the prize-winning aggressively, as well as the Note 20 does some awe-inspiring things with reds as well as yellows, however when any of these cameras gets unbearable light, they aftermath photos that are increasingly coequal than different.
But when the light gets dimmer, the 12 Pro Max reservedly starts to tilt out.
Take this photo I took at sunset: all the phones did a fine unbearable job, however the 12 Pro Max has far less noise, better as well as increasingly fussy colors, as well as increasingly detail.

. Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, Fair-haired iPhone 12 Pro, Google Pixel 5, Samsung Note 20 Ultra. The Pro Max captures better colors as well as increasingly detail as the light starts to drop.
Under sorely darker conditions, prize-winning of the phones automatically shifted to their corresponding night modes, area they take multiplied continued exposures as well as monopolize them together. However the iPhone 12 Pro Max's better sensor, with its higher maximum ISO, organ it doesn't automatically go into Night palm as often. As well as when the iPhone 12 Pro Max does go into Night mode, it does so with shorter exposures than the 12 Pro -- in situations area the 12 Pro would take a three-second exposure, the 12 Pro Max only needed a one-second shot, consistent in a spoof photo.
. 
. 
. 
. (Night palm itself has been improved boundlessness the iPhone 12 line: the iPhone 11 took Night palm shots by merging together frames with a one-second maximum exposure time, however the iPhone 12 timetable can defloration two-second counterbalanced frames, permitting for better caliginosity with less noise. As well as if the roast detects that it's on a tripod, it will upheaval off image stabilization as well as defloration three-second frames, for a maximum 30-second night palm attempt well-balanced of ten three-second frames. The iPhone 11 would take thirty one-second frames.)
The LIDAR sensor lets you shoot portraits in Night palm application the advanced camera, which, combined with the better panoptic low light performance, organ that Night palm portraits are better as well as increasingly detailed on the 12 Pro Max than the 12 Pro as well as Pixel 5. It's impressive.
Overall, when it comes to low light, it feels like no contest: the iPhone 12 Pro Max everlastingly took better, increasingly detailed, as well as less noisy photos than the Pixel 5 as well as Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Squinch at how roily the Pixel 5 looks in this bones dusk photo compared to the Pro Max, as well as squinch at how washed-up out the image of the truck from the Note 20 looks. Fair-haired has prohibitively moved onward of the pack here.
. 
. 
. 
. You might be imperturbable some emotional gestation to depth of freehold due to the fact that of the brighter door as well as better sensor -- I certainly was -- as well as while close-up photos do listen a sorely increased grounding blur, it's not particularly increasingly one-dimensional to my eye than the 12 Pro. If you're looking for that emotional DSLR-style bokeh, you'll still need to upheaval on Rationale mode.
The perks of the better sensor are less flagrantly in video -- as well as really, they're only reservedly one-dimensional if you're watching on a larger awning like a TV. At night, you'll see a little increasingly detail as well as less noise in the caliginosity compared to the 12 Pro, as well as there's the tiniest increasingly detail in effulgent light, however you need to go looking for it. We already thought the 12 Pro was far onward of the pack in agreement of video, as well as the 12 Pro Max is maybe a tiny bit better, however it's not practically as emotional as the inspiritment in stills.
(I did a deep swoop on Dolby Eyes in our 12 Pro review, as well as all the affiance is there, as are the homology challenges, so go watch that video for more. As well as there's still quite a few lens incandescence going on. Fair-haired told me that there shouldn't be any increased lens incandescence over the iPhone 11 line, however that the improved low-light personation organ bodies are noting it more, which feels roughly agnate to saying "I'm a perfectionist" when stretching asks you for your better weakness. Sure.)
The telephoto camera is less straightforwardly improved. It is essentially the same sensor as the 12 Pro, however with a longer 2.5x zoom as well as a less-bright f/2.2 lens instead of the 2x f/2.0 lens on the sought-after 12 Pro. So: a longer zoom that can pick up less light. It's a tradeoff, however I uncork I reservedly enjoyed unquestioning the tighter zoom, as well as I went to use it increasingly than the telephoto on my 11 Pro. It performed sorely worse in lower light than the 2x zoom on 12 Pro, however I visualize it still has the upper knuckles compared to the Note 20 Ultra as well as Pixel 5 -- Apple's Transcending HDR 3 is reservedly inerrable this year, with spanking-new noise shortening as well as vigorous colors that are still accurate.
. 
. All in all, the compiled of the larger sensor, faster lens, improved stabilization, LIDAR, as well as processing power organ that the iPhone 12 Pro Max has the all-time smartphone camera I've overly used -- it produces terrific, colorful photos with spanking-new detail in lighting situations area other phones alpha to struggle. We've seen Android roast makers like Samsung as well as Huawei use numerous better sensors this year with a array of complicated techniques to manufacture them work, however Apple's leveled of pairing a moderate sensor voluminosity jump with its focus on improved processing has kept it in the lead. I'm lured by Apple's new ProRAW format that promises the emendation flexibility of RAW images from this sensor with the processing of Transcending HDR... however it's not out yet, so we'll listen to wait.
Lastly, I listen to mention the selfie camera, which is stubbornly the same as the other iPhone 12s. Many bodies will use the selfie camera increasingly generally than the telephoto or ultrawide cameras; it's well overdue for a serious improvement.

. iPhone 12 Pro Max Display
Apart from the cameras, the rest of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is actual agnate to the iPhone 12 Pro. The dangle is prohibitively bigger, however it's just as effulgent as well as colorful, as well as the pixel density is essentially the same. As well as there's not a ton increasingly information presented on the big awning by default. I visualize that's a shamefacedness -- this toot is whimsicalness into typeface area in agreement of size, as well as I'd like to see Fair-haired allow app developers to manufacture better use of all this real estate.
Disappointingly, the iPhone 12 Pro Max still has a 60Hz-refresh-rate display, while virtually every Android roast atop $600 is now at 120Hz. This was maybe peachy on the standard 12, however on the 12 Pro as well as extraordinarily the Pro Max, I visualize it's a paltriness -- it's the prize-winning uneconomical iPhone with the better battery, as well as the dangle shouldn't be one ticktock breech the competition. Maybe abutting year.
The 12 Pro Max adds the same MagSafe magnetic wireless charging system as the other iPhone 12s, however Apple's charging adapters are uneconomical as well as suffer from the usual USB-C spec confusion. I am eagerly anticipating the first wave of MagSafe car mounts as well as other accessories -- MagSafe has all the prepatent to be terrific, however Apple's creativity to carcass as well as ornateness appurtenance ecosystems effectually its adapter ideas is iffy at best. (See: the near-total parcity of iPad keyboards that use the Transcending Connector.)
5G on the iPhone 12 Pro Max
I tested the 12 Pro on Verizon's network, which offers ultrafast millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G on various artery corners as well as sports stadiums effectually the country, so for the 12 Pro Max I used AT&T's network. As well as 5G in the US continues to be a soundly mixed bag that is narrowly account discussing.
Speeds area I could find AT&T's standard 5G service were not so numerous better than reservedly inerrable LTE, as well as AT&T's mmWave network is essentially run-of-the-mill to be found. As well as AT&T's 5G plan automatically enables a "feature" chosen Streamlet Saver which streams all video at 480p due to the fact that this so-called "unlimited" plan has complicated limits. So you've got a huge roast with a cute dangle as well as a fast connection that displays prize-winning video in... DVD resolution. C'mon.
I don't beggarly to just dunk on AT&T: Sascha Segan at PC Mag just released data simulating that 5G in the US is slower than anywhere abroad in the world. So 5G is not only infrangible to find, it's slower. If there was overly a "race to 5G," the United States has lost.
Anyway, I cannot stress this enough: 5G in the United States is increasingly hype than reality, as well as you should not buy a roast due to the fact that of it. Just ignore it for arriver year. It'll be fine.

. iPhone 12 Pro Max Personation as well as Hail Life
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is simply a big phone, as well as as such, it has a big battery. As well as so hail life is terrific. At home, on WiFi, I saw screen-on times of as continued as 14 hours as I doomscrolled through our ogling election, with an run-of-the-mill of well over eight hours in increasingly reasonable (and healthy) use over the normalcy of a week. Now, I'm not leaving my house as numerous as I did afore the pandemic, as well as I didn't test a lot on 5G or even LTE, however with numbers like that, I'd expect hail life panoptic to be wonderworking in disconnectedly any circumstance. Big phone, big battery, big hail life. It makes the parcity of a 120Hz dangle puzzling.
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22022582/bfarsace_201106_4269_002.0.jpg)
. I'm just going to say it again: the iPhone 12 Pro Max is simply a actual big phone. Big ambition, big camera sensor, big... size. I've been application it for a week, as well as I still haven't gotten used to how big it is. I'm examining to see how appurtenance makers handle the size.
But the voluminosity allows for what I visualize is effortlessly the all-time as well as prize-winning capable smartphone camera on the market seasonable now, as well as a hail that seems to last forever. If you can deal with the size, I visualize it's account passing over the 12 Pro as well as getting the 12 Pro Max. Those are two emotional as well as meaningful improvements for the money. This is simply a wonderworking phone.
But I can't swoosh the fieriness that the iPhone 12 Pro Max actual numerous feels like the plenary roast for the life I led before the pandemic. I used to spend quite a few time commuting, as well as on airplanes, as well as contrarily out as well as disconnectedly getting work washed-up on my phone. I used to go to quite a few events at night as well as take quite a few photos in bars. My notes signify that I used to superintendency a lot disconnectedly mobile network speeds. This roast would listen made telling improvements to all those things, however seasonable now it just feels like arriver awning for amusing media on the couch.
I listen a kid, as well as I everlastingly buy the latest roast to listen the all-time camera. As well as there's no question that this is the all-time camera. However if you're fieriness that usual tug to upholding as well as you don't need to, I do visualize you can delay this one out. Maybe 5G will be better abutting year. Maybe we'll get that 120Hz display.
Also: did I mention that it's big?
