The best iPhone yet is simply for those with deep pockets.

Two-Minutes Review

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is that the biggest iPhone Apple has ever made, and it is also the simplest – although you’re only likely to agree if you do not mind spending $1,099 / £1,099 / AU$1,849 for the honor of owning it, and don't mind care a huge phone about your person day to day.


It's adorned in premium-looking, more muted colors though, and we're fans of the shiny metal rim around the edge (despite the actual fact that it's a true fingerprint magnet).While the iPhone 12 Pro Max is basically only a very bit bigger than last year's 11 Pro Max, the bezels around the OLED display are shrunk to permit Apple to increase the screen size to 6 .7 inches – and it's a compelling reason to pick up the new larger iPhone.


Images are clearer and more visible on the larger display; you'll see more of a web page or image in daily use – and as a movie-watching machine it's the simplest iPhone ever.  It's one of the only displays on the market, able to render both colorful scenes and more subtle tones with ease.
The headline feature on the new iPhone 12 Pro Max is that the camera array: there are three cameras, all promoted with a much better image processor. While the camera block protrudes from the rear of the phone quite on recent iPhones, the foremost 12MP sensor has been upgraded to capture tons more light, and enhancements are made to the image processing too – a variety of the photos we took were really impressive. However, the 12 Pro Max wasn't that far before the iPhone 12 Pro's camera performance in our tests, which was surprising – images were, on the whole , clearer and brighter from the 12 Pro Max, but not by an enormous amount.


5G is that the way forward for mobile connectivity, but it is not in itself a reason to buy for the iPhone 12 Pro Max... yet. Many parts of the planet still do not have 5G coverage, numerous users will find this feature redundant for now. within the next few years connectivity will become much more widespread though, so buying a 5G iPhone is more about future-proofing than enjoying next-gen speeds immediately, unless you reside within the heart of a serious city.

Along with the larger display, one of the massive reasons to travel for the iPhone 12 Pro Max is that the battery life – it is the most vital battery of all the new iPhone 12 range due to having the foremost important chassis. We easily crested every day of use in our testing, and even on days once we actually pushed the battery hard we'd like to 7:30pm before we might have liked the charger – if you've read our iPhone 12 Pro review, and have concerns about whether it'll last long enough, we advise moving up to the Max.


If you'd just like the simplest of all things in an Apple smartphone, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is it. the massive and bright display, the better-quality camera, the longer battery lifespan and awesome grunt inside make this a fascinating smartphone. If your hands can affect the extra heft (and your wallet with the heftier price), this is often often the model to travel for.


And 5G mostly just brings faster speeds (though it’s faster than even Wi-Fi for most), so you'd possibly not desire that's something that’s missing from your life immediately.
Apple has also added the advanced MagSafe tech to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which enables you to fascinatingly clip chargers, cases and accessories to your new iPhone. We like this addition, and more accessories are appearing all the time right now; MagSafe will only improve as time goes on, and getting the iPhone 12 Pro Max will future-proof you as more accessories look on the market.


However, if the professional Max feels a touch quite you would like, or is beyond your budget, the iPhone 12 Pro offers an identical feature set and performance for fewer (although without the extended battery life) – and thus the difference between the cameras isn't as marked as we expected.

The design of the 12 Pro Max mirrors that of the other handsets in 2020's iPhone 12 family: there’s a replacement flat-sided frame, which looks more industrial, and may be a little less comfortable to carry than last year's model.
