Attention: The 2021 iPhones are finally out and there is a new Pro Max model under the name of Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, which features the best battery life in any iPhone ever!
What's Old Is New Again
With its straight edges, the visual design of the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is heavily inspired by the iPhone 4 from back in the day. It features a brushed stainless steel rear shell, thin bezels and a completely flat screen. It still doesn't feature a USB-C port, so we're welcomed by the Lightning port again. Although it still features a notch that houses the 12 MP front sensor, responsible for the Face ID feature, it is smaller and more discreet than the one on its predecessor. In addition, this phone is equipped with a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2,788 x 1,284 pixels at the refresh rate of 60 Hz.
A High-Performance Smartphone
The 12 Pro Max features Apple's brand new A14 Bionic processor. It comes with a 5-nanometer design and offers up to 15% of increased performance over its predecessor Apple iPhone 11's A13 chip. The 5-nanometer design allows the device to be more energy-efficient and provides better battery management. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has 6 GB of RAM and is available in different storage capacities: 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB. In addition, the phone supports 5G and has the battery capacity of 3,687 mAh.
Built-in Depth Scanner
Unlike the regular iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 mini, the 12 Pro Max features a LiDAR scanner. This tech allows the camera module to scan the depths of the environment up to a distance of 20 meters with significantly increased accuracy. It can also be used in games and other applications that use augmented reality.
iPhonography Is Better Than Ever
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is outfitted with three 12 MP sensors on the rear camera module, including an ultra-wide and a wide-angle sensor. Compared its little sibling the iPhone 12 Pro and most competing devices on the market, the sensors of the Pro Max are larger, which better optimises the brightness of the picture under all lighting conditions. Moreover, it offers 2.5x optical zoom. A feature unique to this model is the optical image stabilisation of the wide-angle sensor. Finally, support for the Apple ProRAW file format allows photography enthusiasts to retouch their photos in a detailed manner.
iPhone 12 Pro Max: Price UK
Prices for the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max start at around £1100, and the phone comes outfitted with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage on its base model. If you need more space, you could also upgrade to the 256 GB or 512 GB version. If you'd like to compare prices on similar smartphones, check out the deals on the Apple iPhone 12 Pro, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra or the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a beautifully large high-end smartphone in a class of its own. The only drawback is that it is relatively heavy. But that was it in terms of weaknesses. It scores well with its good battery life, which lasts for several days. The beautifully large display is nice and bright and displays the colours in a rich way. The workmanship and design are also really successful, with the high-quality materials it flatters the hands and looks very classy. The camera with its 3 lenses takes very good, sharp and detailed photos. The speakers are beautiful, loud and clear. The network reception is great. Operation is also very smooth, it responds very quickly to inputs and does not stutter even in demanding games. Advantages: Battery Disadvantages: Relatively heavy

I've had the iPhone 12 Pro Max in Pacific Blue for almost 2 years now and I'm very happy with the phone! It has a very good battery life of approx. 5-8 hours (depending on use) and the camera resolution is top! The 128GB is very sufficient for my use to do everything possible with it. The screen size is also suitable for watching films and videos. Apart from the high price, I have nothing to complain about and am very happy with the mobile phone! Advantages: Top camera and battery life Disadvantages: High price

I bought the IPhone 12 Pro Max because of the large display. I am very satisfied. The colours are very rich, the camera excellent. The battery life is also easily sufficient for one day. The processor also shows no weaknesses in games, for example. The device makes a very elegant and high-quality impression. The price is a little high, but still worth it. Advantages: quality, Camera, Battery Disadvantages: Price

I've only been using Apple smartphones for years and so far I've loved them. This product is one of my favourites, the camera quality is simply fabulous and the handling is also very convenient. The functions are also easy to use and the price is reasonable. The only thing that bothers me a little is that there are too many unnecessary fixed apps from Apple that you don't need every day, and in my opinion that uses up a lot of memory. Advantages: Good camera quality Disadvantages: Many unnecessary fixed apps from Apple

Advantages: Battery Disadvantages: Expensive

I can't complain at all with my iPhone. As a long time Apple user, this is the best investment I have made. It is very handy and totally relieves me in my everyday life, because my battery also takes a lot. Despite frequent dropping I have through the protection of my sleeve no scratches and also no hanging. Advantages: Handy Disadvantages: Nothing

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is an ideal phone for people who like big phones and like to take pictures. It has a remarkable quality on the photos and a simple function that is very usable.

I have the iPhone since October 2021 and am more than satisfied! The battery is still very good, with a capacity of 90%! Negatives I do not notice so far, I have nothing to complain about. Before buying the product, however, you should have held it in your hand at least once, because it is bigger than it looks in pictures. But I like it that way and find the size good :) Advantages: Battery capacity Disadvantages: None

Review summary: The iPhone 12 Pro Max impressed the tester with its premium design, incredible performance and long battery life. Points were also awarded for an outstanding display and what the tester calls the best camera set to date on an iPhone. However, they noted that the display can only deliver up to 60 Hz and that iOS does not make full use of its size. The phone is also on the heavy side and quite pricey.
