iPhone 12 Pro Max Review
Apple, with its launch of the iPhone 12 series has left potential buyers thinking as to which phone to opt for. Here is the review of the iPhone 12 Pro Max in detail:
- DESIGN AND DISPLAY :
Let us start by talking about the design and display of this device. At first glance, the phone looks really classy and sophisticated which is what one really expects from iPhone. It weighs 226z grams, making it the heaviest of all iPhones so far, and is even heavier than some of the tablets.
The 12 Pro Max follows the same fresh design as other 12 series iPhones – the sides are squared off, it has a 100% glass front and a frosted glass back. It comes with drop-resistant ceramic shield technology that covers its entire screen. It has a MagSafe magnetic attachment system on the back for wireless chargers and accessories.
The display measures 6.7 inches diagonally which makes it bigger than any other phone in the large category phones. Compared to 11 Pro Max, it has a better screen-to-body ratio as well as a slightly better resolution. Because of the large screen that it offers, watching movies, playing games, or even browsing feels great.
At first glance, you will be enthralled by the large, bright and stunning screen of the phone. If you are using a lightweight and small size phone, your hands will need a few days to get used to the 12 Pro Max. Even though the size is big, the hard edges ensure the grip is comfortable and easier.
It comes with a Dual SIM option with eSIM that allows you to have both a personal number and a business number on the same iPhone. The iPhone 12 Pro Max uses 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, including those in the MagSafe accessories. The phone does not come with apple headphones or a power adaptor that reduces its carbon footprint, something which Apple as a company is focusing on.
iPhone 12 Pro Max comes in three different storage types ie 128GB, 256GB and 512GB and in the following colors options:
- Gold
- Silver
- Graphite
- Pacific Blue
- THE PROCESSOR:
The 12 Pro Max uses the processor as used in other 12 series phones – A14 Bionic processor. It comes with 6GB of RAM and the storage space starts with 128GB. The maximum storage size available is 512GB. If you like to multitask, you will be impressed by the speed of the phone. Whether you want to process photos, videos, or play games, every activity on this device will be smooth. The UI/UX of 12 Pro Max is the same as other phones from the series.
- THE BATTERY
Most people are concerned with the battery life of the iphone they are going to purchase. However, with iPhone 12 Pro Max, you don’t have to bother about the battery life. Whether you are using a 4G or 5G network there is no impact on the battery life.
In India, the 5G is not yet available but even if you switch to 5G you won’t see any significant issue with battery life. Compared to the basic iPhone 12, it offers 8 hours longer battery life – you can go around for 48 hours before you have to think about charging your phone again.
The long-lasting battery is always good to have but given we hate to stay away from our phones even for a minute, having to put it on charging for long hours would spoil the mood. The iPhone makers have considered this and you can charge 50% of your battery in less than 30 minutes. You can charge 90% in about 70 minutes but to charge 100% you will need 2 hours 13 minutes.
These numbers hold if you are using a cable and an Apple 20W USB-C power adaptor.
- CAMERA
If you are an avid photographer or you like shooting professional videos, this is the phone for you. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has the same selfie camera and ultrawide camera as the 12 and 12 Pro but different main and telephoto cameras on the back. The telephoto camera has a 2.5x optical zoom. The main camera has a 12-megapixel resolution and a large sensor that collects up to 87% more light than its predecessor.
The camera is equally good for both night and day photos. The 12 Pro Max also has the same LIDAR (light detection and ranging) scanner as in the 12 Pro on the back for Night Mode portraits and faster autofocus. The 12 Pro Max camera is faster in processing night shots compared to other phones in the 12 series. The 12 Pro Max shoots 4K video at 60 frames a second and in Dolby Vision HDR. Overall, the 12 Pro Max has the best camera compared to any other previous iPhones.
- THE PRICE
The price of the iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at $1099. Here is a breakdown of the costs for three different storage types:
- 128 GB, 6 GB RAM: $1099
- 256 GB, 6 GB RAM: $1199
- 512 GB, 6 GB RAM: $1399
