Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Review

Long battery life ; Big, bright screen ; Excellent cameras

Exceedingly heavy and large ; Expensive

The iPhone 12 Pro Max, the largest model in Apple's iPhone 12 lineup, adds super-long battery life and a giant screen to the 12 Pro's excellent camera capabilities.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review: the best smartphone camera you can get

The 12 Pro Max is a big phone with a great camera

Terrific camera ; Tremendous battery life ; Fast performance

Very close to being too big ; 60Hz screen behind competition at this price ; I was required to think about 5G

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the biggest, most equipped, and most expensive iPhone you can buy this year. It has a larger screen, larger battery, and larger main camera sensor compared to the other iPhone 12 models. But it’s so big that you really have to...

iPhone 12 Pro Max review: Simply the best

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the perfect showcase for everything Apple has to offer

Gorgeous redesign ; Versatile and improved cameras ; Solid battery life ; Advanced LiDAR technology ; Extensive 5G support

60Hz Display ; Expensive starting price ; Charger not included

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is clearly the best iPhone this year, but you need to be willing to deal with a smartphone this big.

iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera Review

Image Quality AnalysisA note about our Camera IQ score: our scoring system is based on four “Pillars” sub-scores that can help...

A noticeable camera upgrade ; Very good performance in daylight ; Predictable photo outcome ; Agreable photos ; Predictable outcome ; Noticeably better than iPhone 11 Pro ; Optimized for portrait mode ; Nothing obvious

Competitors perform better in key metrics ; Lower detail and texture than 108MP cameras ; Much filtering going on in complex scenes ; Somewhat noisy ; A full generation behind the best ; Not competitive for long-zoom applications ; Noisy ; Excess image...

The iPhone 12 Pro Max stays in the high-end race, but barely. A lot of the disparities in image quality differences can be explained by the difference in camera hardware utilized by various competitors, and it’s not surprising that higher-quality...

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Review – A Milestone Decision

Pictures don't quite prepare you for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Apple's newest flagship sits at the top of a four phone family for 2020, and you could be forgiven for assuming that distingu…

Incredible cameras ; A14 Bionic processor is fast and future-proofed ; More than all-day battery life ; Beautifully designed and constructed

Potentially too big and too heavy for some ; No 120Hz display ; iOS could make better use of the massive screen

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max vs Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

Apple's new heavy-hitter goes toe-to-toe with the best Samsung has on display right now. Not foldable, that is.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review: the best camera and display on an iPhone

Is the iPhone 12 Pro Max worth upgrading to? The best camera on an iPhone meets a 60Hz display refresh on a $1099 phone, what's the review verdict?

Largest, toughest display on an iPhone; The best camera set on an iPhone; Double the base storage of its predecessor; Futureproof 5G support with bands record ; Best water-resistance on a general purpose phone

Static 60Hz display refresh on a $1099 phone; Blocky and heavy compared to its peers; Expensive $599 body repair if you crack the rear; No power adapter in the box, slow charging
