So, I had the iPhone 11 Pro Max before this Im gonna be 100 honest with you. Unless you are dead set on upgrading every year or are into heavy videographyphotography, you wont see much of a difference. I dont totally regret my decision at all. I LOVE the Pacific Blue color I enjoy 5G. Thankfully, its in my area. Its slightly bigger, but once in the hand, its not very noticeable. As some others have said, it is a smidge heavier, but I dont mind it because it just feels premium to me. I absolutely ADORE the squared edges again. This phone takes THE BEST pictures Ive ever seen in a smartphone. I choose it over my DSLR camera. Im not mad about the charging brick because I still had one from my previous phone. However, again, you wont see a difference in much anything else if you have the 11 Pro Max I say, do as you want if youre considering upgrading…like I did, but just keep those things in mind. Overall, Im very very pleased with my purchase would still recommend. Its so beautiful Im keeping this one for a couple of years and Im glad I decided to upgrade. For reference, again I have the Pacific Blue in 512GB. I bought directly from Apple. Best shopping experience ever

I love this phone, but I really love the camera and the night vision, its so clear. You can see the stars at night with this camera I love its safety features. I love what Apple stands for and this phone has come through set the bar, and any other camera on another camera, I am unsure about but mine rocks. Also, the phone itself is cool. I love lack of tracking that Apple along with ATT to keep my information safe Its highly important to all of us thats why we have these phones. Well, I really love the camera, everything else is a bonus. Thank you Apple its about time.

iPhone is awesome as expectedTook my time ever deciding whether to go for the larger screen model and believe me it was the correct choice.The camera is amazing and the speed of the iPhone is mind blowing.Really wanted the iPhone in blue however it wasnt in stock so I plumped for the graphite. Really happy with my choice now that as compared it to my daughters blue iPhone I think the graphite looks more stylish and will last the test of time where is the blue might look a bit shabby in the future.256GB should be enough especially if you intend to utilise iCloud for music and media.Over the moon

The Lift to wakeup function makes it too easy to unlock your phone. EVERY time you move it, if it recognizes your face, it unlocks If you turn off that function, the required double tap is even more finicky. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is larger than previous phones, but not too large to fit in most pockets. It takes some time to try to get used to the lack of a home button and I still havent researched how to turn the power off Clear screen, but I miss the battery level. The icon is too small to give a true picture and swiping from the top right corner is iffy sometimes.

Highly over rated. screen brightness battery over half way down in 2 hrs or less. AND NO INDUCTIVE CHARGER included just a USB C cable.5G for 40 extra to connect sometimes Verizon worthless UNLESS away from my WiFi NOTHING NOTICEABLE about 5G, retired ibm chief engineer.As for the phone.. just another screen protector and another new case protect nothing impressive over my 11 pro max.

The good the camera is great. Fortunately you can buy a small pocket Camera thats equally as good or better for way less money so most of the reviews I read just rant and rave about the camera while the camera is good but the rest of the phone really is not. So counter intuitive it drives me crazy. Phones should have a dedicated back button but not this top of the line model. Youll play the game of where is the back button because its going to move around depending on what app youre using and sometimes youll get frustrated wont be able to find one at all. Also I would say 99 of people time with the phone in a vertical position yet when doing so usually the back button is on the top left corner and unless you have pan size of an NBA center its super awkward. People type a lot on their phones when texting searching for things writing notes an email whatever and trying to simply put the cursor where you want to put it to correct something or go back and inject some thing else forget it lol I never had an iPhone before and I really dont get what the fuss is about because most of these complaints are just elementary things at work perfectly and smoothly on android devices. The last straw was this morning on my alarm didnt go off because I shut all the sound off because I dont want to hear my phone dinging and beeping all night and yeah so the alarm is on the very lowest setting. It really seems like the iPhone does things a little differently just for the sake of being different and thats not good. I apologize for my grammar hear some of this may be hard to read but again Im getting the cursor to where I want it to fix things its too frustrating to even bother with it. Going to be returning this after two weeks today.

Jumping from the iPhone 6 to the all new iPhone 12 Pro Max has blown me away. The quality and spec of the phone is so much more superior and its user interface is a joy and so simplistic to use. Being a designer and taking an interest in photography I wanted a phone that can aid me with my work and it has not disappointed. Able to take stunning pics edit them and upload them within seconds allows me to do so much more. Still learning a lot of the new features but its so easy to pic up. Battery life is great to. Highly recommend this stunning phone.

So I have had Samsung for years, after having an iPhone many years ago. Previously I was antiApple when it came to phones, but Samsung irritated me something fierce when I upgraded my watch from an Frontier to a Watch3 and how nonchalant they were about customer service. Anyway, I decided to make the leap back to Apple and boy am I glad I did. This phone paired with a series 6 Apple Watch completely blows away anything Samsung has, and I still havent completely found anything and everything with this phone but so far I am blown away. Everything is seamless and things work as they say they should work, unlike things on the S10 I had didnt do what it said it should do. If you are on the fence about iPhone or Samsung…..just do yourself a favor and go with an iPhone, and thats coming from someone who up until recently was part of the antiApple iPhone crowd. I think youll be quite pleased with your decision

Hubby picked this one up for my Christmas gift. I had the X. Let me just say the camera on this thing blows some of the best vlogger cameras out of the water. I must say however it is very large so get a pop socket to go along with it. Also outter boxes are a no go. At least when I purchased they didnt make them yet. I battery life is still sucked away as per usual but turning down the brightness helps to preserve some life. Dont expect a charger port either just the cord with a new end used to promote the MagSafe charger. My only regret is not purchasing a phone with more space. I got 256gb with the gold finish.

I think apple has always been leaps ahead when it comes to aesthetics. An iPhone always looks beautiful and luxurious. However, it is sorely lacking in functionality when compared to its competitors. I have this and my bf has the Samsung galaxy 21 and his phone can do so much more than mine. I also got this phone for camera quality best one in the lineup BUT its no comparison to the galaxy. I almost switched out of the iPhone crew, but I love the convenience of having all my products be apple and being able to sync everything… Im an addict even when I know its not the best lol wasnt impressed with anything with the newest launch, its barely any different than the iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone needs to start making big changes to stay competitive, I think theyre running out of ideas.. Also, definitely not a fan of them not including a charger plug and always changing the accessories around so its not compatible with older models. Its a cash grab. Other than that, I like the phone, it does what I need it to do.

I just upgraded to this iPhone model in gold and it is so beautiful Everything about it is amazing. The camera is SO good. The screen vibrancy is great and has such a clear display. The speakers are nice and loud. I also really like that they switched the charging cords to USBC. Charges so much faster and holds battery forever I charge my phone every other day and I use it A LOT. Overall, its perfect. I have 0 complaints other than the price on them and not getting a charging cube in the box.

My new phone arrived as a package by the front door. It has a new Sim card in it, so I did not have to transfer the Sim card from my old phone an iPhone 7 Plus. After I started up the new phone and installed the program, I called ATT and they transfer the number from my old phone to the new phone. I then placed my old phone next to my new phone and let the migration system transfer all the applications and information and settings into the new phone. Theres a YouTube video detailing the procedure. It works very well. The migration from the old phone to the new phone only took about 45 minutes. The new phone works great and the battery lasts a long time.

Pros Screen resolution is excellent. Duration between battery recharge is very good with moderate use. Features and configuration options are excellent. Samsung Pay is not good, not user friendly, did not always work at pay points. Returned to using Google Pay, very easy to use, works every time and reliable.Cons Samsung Pay needs to be improved a lot. Camera resolution not as good as advertised. Advice on how to get the best out of the phone and camera settings is very poor. Far too much reliance on getting information from the Internet on features, tips and best use of the phone and camera.

Been with an iPhone on and off for about 8 years. They all get incrementally better but this year is a real nice change. I upgraded from a Xs Max which was a good trade in deal. Comparatively I like the squared off body. The Xs was slippery without a case and still kinda the same with several cases I tried. The flat sides help me take picturesvideo with 1 hand in landscape and of course the family selfie. Other than that the camera is great but really has always been a cut above so no worries there. Of course my wife wanted an upgrade so handmedowns were made and she will have a 12 Pro soon. I say get one.

Love the new iPhone 12 pro max this phone is Great for pictures, The super retina XDR display goes from edge to edge with a camera shield that gives it four times better drop performance . And it has an OR at the speed of light that creates accurate depth maps in nanoseconds, so objects are placed instantly and accurately in AR experiences. And the new day for night mode packs a punch for ultrawide dim or night vision to get great color, I forget to mention this phone automatically Puts your phone in drive mode so when youre driving you wont receive text messages or ringing when youre driving. How about that safe driving mode feature that automatically comes on when you start your engine, talk about Modern technology this phone was a gift , and who doesnt want the gift that keeps on giving highly recommend this phone

Battery life is great. I lost 16 battery health within2 years of the previous phone i owned XS Max. But battery would barely last the whole day. I went 18 hrs with regular use on 12 pro max and it only went down to 26. I couldnt do that with the XS Max. Love the new wallpapers and thinner bezels. Great screen quality too. Love the flat edges compared to the rounded. Lets see how the iPhone looks in 2 years. If my battery holds up I most likely wont upgrade for a few years. As of now just look forward to no notch and bezel. If they keep the same design minus that stuff it will be great.

Would be 44.5 star. See below.Screen is nice. Compared to my old phone XR Max, theres hardly any difference.The bigger storage and faster processor is why I got this phone, I do COD gaming alot.Activation process was not smooth. Unlike prior experiences, where you just turn on, set up, activate while the old phone deactivates, this time around it did not do that. I waited an hour and finally had to call in to manually activate the phone.Most importantly, I didnt know you have to pay 15 more per month per line to use the 5g functionality.If ATT allowed just one line to be upgraded, this would be a 44.5 star review.ATT requires you upgrade everyone in the family plan even if they dont own a 5g phone.There are 7 people in my plan and I pay for everyone. This would increase my monthly cost by 105.

Im a big fan of this phone for a couple of reasons. It doesnt have a glass back yet another thing to crack. Its fast, and has all the features I could want and more. I was happy that it still utilizes the same power supplies that are Ive accrued over time. I like that it magnetically clicks onto the surface charger, and holds its charge exceptionally well. It will not fit into your iPhone 11 case just an FYI. May as well get the case that you can charge through anyway.
Draken –
IOS somehow made me hate a phone that otherwise has every feature I could possibly dream for. A much more powerful processor than my last phone, exponentially better battery life, a camera than can shoot 4k 60fps, 512 GB of storage, and nice big crisp display with excellent speakers to match. How could I go wrong I thought, but here I am, disgustingly disappointed. I want to love this phone but ios 14 is infuriatingly unintuitive. I feel claustrophobic trying to navigate this phone, the UI is bloated, slow, unintuitive, uninformative, and not flexible in regards of customization.

An awesome device, coming from a prior Android user. Ive supported Apple phones at work for years, but stayed with Android until now. Obviously there are differences and gaps, but Im very happy with this device definitely feels and operates as a premium phone.The LiDAR scanning is insane to have available on a consumer device pic for reference. I cant wait to see what app developers do with this capability.Best Buys curbside service was quick and easy. Their staff is always friendly and helpful.

I love the capabilities of this phone gorgeous static display. I do have to say the lack of 120 hz refresh rate is my only complaint. Probably only noticeable to those who own a 120hz display or tv. If you do its noticeable, barely, but thats enough and Im drawn to wanting to watch video on my tv. Excellent camera that takes pictures that somehow look better than real life. Battery is awesome last longer than a day. All in all the best iPhone so far. Would be a true next gen device with the 120 hz refresh rate.

FAST delivery Even in bad weather Ordered on a late Tuesday night and recd mid day Thursday Love the size. Was worried it wouldnt be as big as my 8plus. It is, and then some. Had to get a pop socket to handle it. Screen fills entire phone front. Still getting used to not having Home button but Im starting to get older and it takes longer to update myself on electronics Cant attest to camera yet but there are plenty reviews on that already. Overall, Im glad I went for the best and treated myself

Very disappointed with this phone because I was very excited for my first ever iPhone. I bought it for the camera which is great. But it drops my calls, I lose signal everywhere, and I have difficulty connecting to Bluetooth devices. I never had this problem with my Android. The durability is terrible too, as the whole back shattered even with a sturdy case on. Dont spend your money on a phone that doesnt even work as a phone. I really wanted to love this.

I switched from a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 to the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max. Its been several years since I had an iPhone, but the learning curve was not bad, and only took a day or so to be very happy Screen size is a little wider than what I had, and that makes a difference, for me. The camera is amazing The pictures Ive taken, so far, look very realistic its like looking at an exact replica of what my eyes seein real life. If were honest, very few cameras, if any, capture images with that kind of clarity in detail. The zoom range isnt like that of the Samsung Galaxy s21 5G Ultra, but Ive got two super zoom point and shoot cameras that the s21 Ultra cant touch. In my opinion, other than the long zoom, the 12 Pro Max takes noticeably better pictures. Part of that is due to the excellent display screen clarity iPhones have.The only complaint I would have is that, as usual, some apps dont behave as well across proprietary fences individual manufacturers put up I cant buy books from a certain ebook seller using my iPhone, but I can buy them with a different nonApple device, and it downloads into my iPhone book app of the other company Yes, that proprietary logic works really well, doesnt itAll in all, the 12 Pro Max is an excellent phone in every way I would highly recommend it

Its just Topnotch in all the departments. The excellent camera takes terrific pictures and video, especially in low light. It gives you a great multimedia experience like watching Netflix and youtube.The speakers are great. The screen is gorgeous, looking vibrant and bright.Overall phone looks very premium and stunning and feel nice in the hands .There are no other phones that come near to this but exceedingly displeased about the price as its costly and doesnt give you value for your money .knocked one star for not giving us a charging block.

Its a great phone with a a quality look and feel.The larger camera lens are a much needed improvement but I would like to see a better zoom. No charging brick was poor idea. Would much rather have one in the box than have to buy a new one. Screen is exceptional as with most any iPhone. Its a big device so I would recommend holding one before buying it. The battery life has been exceptional compared to previous iPhones Ive had as well. I can take it off the charger at 6am and still have life at 10pm.

4 out of 5 because I expected more but at the same time this was expected from Apple. I am coming from the 11 pro max so there really isnt that significant of a difference in speed, camera, functionality, screen. It is all just slightly betterbigger. The difference of the size between the 12 pro max and the 11 pro max is about the difference youll notice in every other aspect, just barely. If you are making a jump from the iPhone X or older then yes there is a more noticeable difference all the way around. Moving forward, at least for me, I will wait two years to upgrade phones instead of every year using the next program.
Percy –
The phone was not available in the store and it was shipped to my house in a few days. Sim card installation was quick and easy. The phone comes with a sim card tray key in the box. Superb design and quality. Camera lenses are upgraded from other models and the battery life is great. I took a backup of my previous phone on my pc and was able to restore to the new device with no issues.Note that while a cable is included in the box, the power block is not. Seems odd not to get this for such an expensive phone so keep your old power block

The 12 Pro Max is more like my old 6 Plus in size. I believe that the 12 Pro would have been more akin to my X. That said, I have really been enjoying my new phone. I still have a lot to learn about using all of the features, but that does not seem like it would be difficult. I have noticed many people complaining about the battery life between charges. I have found the time between charges to be the best I have encountered on an iPhone. This is my 6th iPhone, and it seems to be the best. I would not recommend the Pro Max for small hands. The size is great for videos and for composing quick emails. The phone serves you well whether your correspondence is quick or long. I have taken some photos with the phone. They are really nice. The color saturation is evident. I have to find out how to take low light photos, to find out if the enhancement is automatic or if one has to make an active choice. Once again, this is something that I dont believe would be hard to figure out and accomplish. Bottom line I like this phone and am glad that I purchased it.
Crystaldh –
The size is nice. The camera is awesome. But both my husband and I have had nothing but issues with it dropping service or just not having service. We get some calls, not all. And its super frustrating to need to use it for maps or something and not have the ability. I wish I had kept my XR. Because, though this phone is a lot bigger and has the better camera… Id still rather be able to ACTUALLY use it when I need to. Instead its hit or miss. Which infuriates me, since we are now stuck with it.
JWDC –
Overall this is an iPhone and if you like the Apple ecosystem, lots to like here. The extra realestate of the Max is worth it for folks who want to see a lot at one time or those that need to use larger fonts for vision. Selected the Pro model because of the more durable back that theoretically wont crack and spider as easily and got the enhanced camera as a bonus.If you are a longtime Android user, compares similarly to the Samsung Galaxy S20 5G although the sturdier back will provide a bit more protection and the straight sided screen while not as sexy as the Samsung beveled edge provides easier application of screen protectors and a bit more protection against minor drops.

First off, I love my phone. I think the Pacific Blue color is gorgeous is a unisex color Ive always gotten silver or gold, but wanted to change it up. I absolutely LOVE the squared edges. It makes the phone feel more secure in the hand. The phone takes beautiful pictures and its nice to have 5G. The battery is, in my opinion good, but not as great as the 11 Pro Max. My guess is the 5G. However, do I think you should upgrade if you already have the 11 Pro Max No Not unless you are into heavy videographyphotography or feel like you HAVE to have 5G or just like getting a new phone every year. Youre not gonna see a significant change at all, aside from those things. I do feel the extra weight of the phone, but its nothing so heavy that I dont like it. I enjoy it actually. Makes it feel more premium. The phone is slightly wider taller, but I like big phones, so Im not mad at all. However, had I not given my 11 Pro Max to my mom, I probably wouldve returned it. Its not a terrible phone AT ALL. Its just not anything significantly different aside from the squared edges 5G. Would I still recommend it, though Sure Its a great phone. I dont totally regret it. Who doesnt love a new phone Lol However, I wont be upgrading for a couple of years now.My last thing isnt on the phone itself, but rather the transparency of the customer service. Ive always ordered my upgradesnew devices online never had a problem, until this time. The phone was set to be delivered in 23 days on day 3, it had not even been fulfilled yet. I called was told I could still get it that evening, despite not having any sign of tracking numbers. Someone I know gave me a number to text that was when I found out the phone was on backorder. They werent gonna tell me. I had to cancel just order straight from Apple to get it the very next day. Please work on that with the customer service reps. I will say my money was off hold immediately, so Im not mad at all about that. I never had a problem with this before I hope I never have to again.
Long time iPhone uzer –
It took me a while to upgrade iPhones. I had an 8plus and enjoyed all its features. I was disappointed with apple when they took things away from future iphones. The only reason I upgraded was my phone was working slower and slower the longer I had it. Ive heard apple did this and it was evident. The 12 Pro doesnt have anything substantial that would warrant an upgrade. If my iPhone 8 wouldnt have slowed down, I would not have upgraded. The iPhone 12 is a new phone and works quicker. Other than that, nothing I couldnt live without
samar.b –
I love my 12 Pro Max. The size is perfect and the camera is amazing. Ive always been an IPhone enthusiast so one might think Im bias. But in my job as a banker, I have the opportunity to show my clients the different features of our app, whenever I have a client with an android, its simply too complicated. To access apps on an Android, you have to swipe up, down, left right, its crazy on an iPhone, it just one direction back and forth. Also, helping clients email statements directly from the app, with the IPhone, you open the statement, click the share button and email away. But on an Android, you have to download first, then go to your downloads folder and no one client that I helped so far that knows where that folder is then, after looking for 10 minutes, and only if I find that folder sometimes I dont then you can email. I often tell my clients to get an iPhone.

Ive only had this phone for a few days so I cant give a huge review on it. So far I love the phone. The Pacific Blue is a very pretty color. I upgraded from the 8 Plus so theres a bit of a learning curve and Im starting to get used to not having a home button. Camera takes awesome photos but Ive had a bit of a problem with it freezing up. Hopefully thats just operator error. Im sure Ill get used to it. The size of the phone is the same as my old one so Im happy with that. I gave it a 5 star rating because its so much nicer than my 8 Plus.
Some Guy Reviewing –
Terrifying to have without a case but a solid phone nonetheless. Awesome speakers on it coming from an iPhone X.However my favorite feature was the pressure sensitive touch where you could press hard on the screen to have different options which more importantly included the ability to scroll through a document or text to edit which isnt available on this phone. Thats the only reason Im giving it 4 stars because it was so much more convenient than having to go up and turn into Mr. Fantastic and put your thumb into where you are typing. They could remove all the other features the adaptive touch had but that was the one I wish they would have kept it for.Battery life is astounding. I am a heavy phone user and I managed to get through the entire day with 1 charge and halfway into the next.Again I cannot emphasize how terrifying this phone is to hold or go anywhere with but whos going anywhere right now anyways.One other gripe I have is there isnt the Napa leather folio case from Apple for this years larger iPhone which is a bummer. Its a petty complaint but not having to carry a separate wallet and phone is really convenient.Camera is amazing for me. I have shaky hands and the image stabilization on this phone allows me to take decent photos that arent always blurry which was something I have struggled with every phone before this one.Overall Id recommend this phone to anyone who frequently watches videos on their phone that has something older than an iPhone 11. GET A CASE IF YOURE CLUMSY FOR YOUR SANITY.

I actually really love this phone I was worried about the size because I had the iPhone 7 Plus it was huge However, this one is definitely my favorite. Its not too big nor bulky. The camera is the best that Ive seen on any phone which is so important to me as a content creator. I love the color. The display is bright, clean and clear. I do wish the speaker was a little louder. The battery life is better than Ive seen as well. It really is worth the investment.
Charkirk –
Its a great phone, in a beautiful colour, that takes amazing photographs, am totally in love with this phone. Id say if youre thinking about getting one just do it, wish Id gotten it sooner. The other benefit is I got the 256gb so has lots of storage memory as I take lots of photos. When it comes to the end of my contract with O2 I like this phone so much Im hoping I dont have to change my phone in a hurry. The bad things are no more do Apple supply plugs for charging of the phone in a wall socket and no little wire connector to plug headphones in to your phone all have to be bought separately. Otherwise I am extremely happy with my new iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Retired Computer Guy –
The camera is outstanding, although its still a cellphone camera meaning its not at all ergonomical, featured, or practical enough for serious photography. All the same, unlike the iPhone 10, the camera justifies enough of the price that you dont feel like crap for having spent a thousand dollars on a phone.The phone itself…. just another iPhone. Except for two things1 it does NOT pull in the signal in marginal areas as good as previous iPhones. Used to get 2 or 3 bars, now I get 0 or 1 at home.2 Maybe more of a carrier issue, but the 5G is worthless, other than its settings may prevent the phone from working at all. I drove the entire NorthSouth length of Oregon on the main West Coast highway, Interstate 5, with the iPhone 12 set to 5G Auto, and I never once saw it switch over to 5G. It hit every other G and LTE, but never 5G. On that setting, it is supposed to switch to 5G whenever the signals good enough that it wont drain your battery faster than it should.

I have held off upgrading my iPhone 7 plus for nearly 5 years and I finally decided this was the time. I am beyond impressed with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Camera takes incredible pics in the day and the night shots are insane. Not to mention the speed at which this phone runs apps or downloads things. I know its brand new and I have only been using it a week but the battery life is the most impressive thing about this for me. I use my phone constantly with customer calls, emails and sending them pics but it barely affects the battery charge. I still have plenty to use for my exercise app during the 2 hours I am working out. I might have half my battery gone after 1314 hours of use. I dont expect this to continue but even if it drops to 8 hours, Id still be sold on this phone. Glad I waited the 5 years to finally upgrade

The Iphone 12 Pro max does not have a Home Screen button. So I had to get use to not having one. But, I love the sleek design of the phone, the larger screen is unnoticeable, and the graphics are very vivid. I can leave my screen lighting at a dimmer setting and still see. The seed of the phone is excellent. The different camera options are a bonus. The pictures come out amazing I bought the graphite color phone. I wasnt sure I would like it. I love it So far, it meets all of my needs. Before buying an iPhone, check the specs to see if it meets all of your needs.
Nando66 –
Ive never been an iPhone guy always a staunch Android user, and I never liked how Apple sucks you into their ecosystem with limited customization available across many functions… but I gotta say, this phone is FIRE Easy to use, gorgeous graphics, and as fast as a large computer You can watch movies on it on a screen larger and better than on an airplane.. with Unlimited 5G data usage for 75 per month Also, Excel and other office applications work far better on this than on previous versions. I hope it keeps working this way for at least a couple of years and doesnt start crappin out so that I have to upgrade again haha D

Beautiful design, amazing low light and portrait pictures with a user friendly interface. I have the blue which I adore switching from 1 iPhone to another is incredibly easy. My apps are in the exact same place No more weeks to reconfigure my phone to my liking redownloading all my apps, making folders, arranging them. I had Android based phones before, and loved the available customization but hated the inconsistent updates and subsequent bugginess. Having your phone overheat in your pocket as it auto updated then killed your was a nightmare. I am forever an Apple iPhone fan Recently found tiny cracks in the screen in the corners and where the top speaker is.. anyone else have screen cracking issues

I havent up graded in so many years. So much so that I still had an iPhone 5. So getting a new iPhone was such a big deal for me Just the bigger size is amazing to me. This iPhone 12 Pro Max is definitely so far living up to everything it was advertised as Also the customer service at Best Buy was amazing They even installed my new screen protector and new phone case I did not expect either of those to be installed for free either Thank you Best Buy for helping me so much

Ive waited for this iPhone for a long time. I read the reviews and loved the technology going into the iPhone, the camera features and available apps to support the fun factor of owning the new iPhone.Overall the new iPhone is stunning and like all iPhones, it does its job wonderfully. The disappointment is the surface of the screen. My previous iPhones never used a screen protection and all prior models had durable screens.The current model may have a coating of some sort on it to protect the glass but I managed to put a light scratch on the screen by merely using my thumb to swipe upward to open the iPhone. The scratch is approximately 2 inches long, long enough to annoy me. You can see the scratch off angle in the bright light.Sounds ridiculous, but I work with my Hands and with the constant washing of the my hands, this caused my finger tips to be dry and crack with torn skin and perhaps dirty finger tips. Sadly that was enough to scratch the surface of my new iPhone after having it for 2 weeks.On the Apple forum sites, there are complaints regarding this and hopefully Apple will address this issue. In the mean time, I encourage new iPhone 12 users to put a screen protector on it, but be careful how you apply the protector on it.A promising iPhone let down by a fatal flaw or poorly design screen The iPhone 12 is an expensive piece of electronic device. For functionality and design a solid rating for an expensive phone with some annoying cheap glass disappointing, considering the glass surface is used all the time.

Love it so far. Quick, the screen is even better than my iphone6 and I love the face recognition. Battery life is great and the wireless charging is very nice. Three ways to charge the traditional way with the lightning plug everyone has, qi compatible chartable not supplied and the new MagSafe charger not supplied is impressive, quick and convenient. I havent used the laser 3d measuring or the enhanced low light photography yet. This is clearly the best iPhone yet although priced like that too.

The 12 Pro Max has the same fresh design as the rest of the iPhone 12 range squaredoff sides, allscreen front with slimmer bezels and a frosted glass back. It has the same dropresistant Ceramic Shield technology covering the screen and the new MagSafe magnetic attachment system on the back for wireless chargers and accessories, but thats where the physical similarities end.The huge OLED display measures 6.7in on the diagonal, which dwarfs all other iPhones and rivals the Android superphones, such as the 6.78in OnePlus 8 or the 6.9in Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.The screen is stunning. Bright, crisp and almost tabletlike at that giant size. Watching HDR video is fantastic, and there is a good set of stereo speakers too.

REVIEW FOR ANDROIDS USERS SWITCHING TO IPHONES First thing, first Its Complicated but not as everyone makes it seems. Ive had both phones over the years but preferred my android. I recently purchased the iPhone 12 pro max and I love. Android users the camera on the iPhone 12 pro max are amazing, great zooming lens, longest battery life. Switching your information from your android to your iPhone is the same but you will definitely have to make time to familiarize yourself with the different features of the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Over all its worth it ITS THE BATTERY LIFE FOR ME

With only owning the phone a week Ill say the cameras are amazing. Our photos in our Nature Center and Refuge and portraits of grandchildren have been amazing. I dont take our big digital camera anymore on our walks. What has been surprising about the cameras is the night photos. Ive taken photos that almost look like daytime photos.Size This phone is just a few millimeters longer than my old iPhone 8 Plus so that is a nonissue. The edge to edge display is great also.Im very happy that I upgraded.

Best iphone yet The camera is wonderful, the resolution is great, and to be honest I kicked and screamed about facial recognition but its actually not bad. I do miss the home button though, although I realize it took up screen space. My biggest complaint is Siri. She is still absolutely worthless. All she does is pull up google type search results, oftentimes incorrect ones or stuff I am not at all looking for. She is also very nonresponsive, and sometimes Ill tell her what I need and she just shuts off without doing anything which is very annoying so I just never use Siri. Alexa is like 500 times better than Siri, and I use Alexa all the time and once again have quit using Siri because she is more trouble than shes worth. They need to do a huge amount of work on Siri before she will really become useable or helpful.

I got this iPhone a couple months ago. I upgraded from my iPhone 7 Plus. I chose this phone due to the camera quality. I have to say the quality is amazing for my personal needs. I dont use to much video. Mainly camera and portrait mode. The night mode is awesome. I also like the speaker quality on this phone too. Videos look amazing. It is a heavier phone, but feels quality. So far I love it and dont have any complaints. The metal does show finger sprints, but I use a case one my phone.

I upgraded to the 12 Pro Max from an 8 Plus. Although the 8 plus gave me years of perfect service, I thought it was time to upgrade and take advantage of the 5g network.The transfer of data from the old phone to the new one was relatively painless, outside of having to recover some logins for some of my banking apps.I have enjoyed the updated battery life and performance the 12 pro max has provided so far. It was very easy to get used to the Face ID and new gestures that you use to navigate on the phone.So far it has been a very good experience. I can recommend that you consider this phone if you are coming from a device that is a couple of generations older.

This iPhone works exactly like every other iPhone Ive ever used. There are apps, an ability to make calls, and general iPhoney style stuff. The battery life is good seeming to need to be charged less frequently than my former iPhone. The screen presents things well, and the processer handles all the under the hood stuff quickly.The one issue people might have is that the screen is somewhat large, which makes it harder to managed the screen one handed. This doesnt bother me, but might irritate some,
Captain Zoom –
Its a beautiful phone with remarkable features, as always. Its gorgeous. The interface is superior to anything else out there. Its a fantastic product and the camera is exceptional. My only issues are my getting used to the size, as its the largest iPhone Ive ever used, and most importantly, the weight. This is a heavy phone. Im sure everything will be fine once I aclimate to the significant but hardly unexpected differences between this and my X which was my favorite iPhone ever

I have been an Apple user since the very first iPhone was released. Ive also tried many of the android phones over the years to have a business phone but I always fall back to Apple due to the quality of the phones, the security of the Apple eco system. The 12 Pro Max was also the one phone that I have been praying for Apple to release. Ive wanted a large screen iPhone for years and this new 6.7 is perfect. The picture quality is perfection. The speed of the phone is excellent and the camera, albeit lower res in the specs compared to other high spec cameras is just as good if not better than my husbands brand new Samsung. I honestly dont have anything bad to say about this phone. It ticks all of the boxes and being able to spread the costs over 12 months makes it even mote affordable.
Andy –
Pros New design makes it feel like a newer phone than previous models. The new pacific blue is a superb addition to the colours on offer.Cons No additional features from last. The camera is basically the same for the normal user, and HDR is great, but again, would the normal user see that benefit, I dont think so. The design feels less refined in the hand vs the last model. Apple should have reflected the fact you no longer get headphones and fast charger in the price, but instead they charged exactly the same as the last model. Having had every model except the first one, its just lacking some innovation now. You want to feel like the pro max is a cut above the pro, the flagship phone, but its just not.

I just traded in my iPhone 8 Plus for the 12 Pro Max and I am loving it. My provider offered a great deal and I was able to shave 700 off and only pay 16 a month. That was the first positive check mark. I love the size of this one 6.7 but the cameravideo is amazing. Professionals are raving about it as well. Of course, I had to purchase some bling to protect the lens and the phone go checkout Amazon or EBay. There are new features as well raw for the camera part makes the picture more colorful and clear and there are other options within the phone itself. You just need to go check it out

After having my iPhone 8 Plus for a few years it was time to upgrade and Im glad I waited for this.5G speeds are amazing, super fast for downloads.Cameras are out of this world. Especially night mode and the super wide.I have included photos taken with the super wide normal telephoto ends of the camera. Truly amazing for a phone. And did I mention night mode Where you can get upto 30 second exposures when on a mini tripod the phone knows when you have it on a tripod due to non movement otherwise you can only get upto 3 seconds handheld, which is still great due to the floating sensorThe night mode can take photos in near darkness and make them look like day Fantastic feature.I could go on all night about this phone, but if you are debating getting one, just do it. You will not be disappointed. Believe me, I am a photographer and use both a Fujifilm XT3 and a Nikon Z7 mirrorless cameras and this iPhones camera is not far off them for quality1 word for the IPhone 12 Pro Max Outstanding.

I have had both android iphone and feel that I need a phone that can multitask. The iPhone 12 Pro Max definitely delivers on this more. I can work through several apps at same time, plus talk on phone, message, and be on internet. And it can still do more all at same time. This iPhone is definitely worth the second look purchase, even with the pricey cost. I would advise trading in your old phone to reduce your monthly cost, you wont be sorry that you did. I havd had this phone for 3 weeks, made sure that I purchased it with enough memory, 256GB just in case I need it. I most definitely recommend this iPhone be sure to get glass screen protector phone case.

Very nice device Its my first iPhone…EVER Ive been a lifelong MSAndroid guy with no complaints. But Im impressed with this iPhone 12PM. Its got LOTS of cool and useful features, excellent camera obviously overall very pleased with it. Fast response when switching between apps, 5G is noticeably faster, though I use my phones mostly at home with Gigabit fiber internet. It fits comfortably into my hand but after reading all the online forumsTech Reviews etc. about this model iPhone, its NOWHERE as big as everyone was making it out to be. My other phone is the Galaxy Note20 Ultra and its significantly larger than the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Anyway, Im happy with it so far.
NDarme –
The new iPhone 12 Pro Max is the best iPhone I have ever hadIt is larger than my XR was, but it still fits in my hand.The square edges makes it easy to hold. The phone does not slip out of your hand.The graphite color is so futuristic looking The edges are shiny silver and really makes the phone look modern.The 5G connection works great. The phone is very fast.I like having the 128GB. Much more storage than older iPhones I have had.Overall, the look, size and speed of the phone makes this the best iPhone yet

I will keep it short and sweet. The phone delivers and is great. I tried the iPhone 11 Pro Max and had to go back to Android because I wasnt a fan of the software. Apple however, made some big changes with iOS 14 and I decided to give it another shot with the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Nothing to complain about other than the keyboard is small. Works great and as it should. I also have the Samsung S21 Ultra 5G and that phone is a beast as well. I am considering this year to be my Apple trial. Loving it so far.
Tomoneofakind –
Ive had the phone for about one month. Ive been happy with the performance of the phone. The cameras are fantastic and take some great photos. The larger screen is incredibly sharp and very nice and clear on a large 6.7inch screen. Its much faster than my previous iPhone X. The 5G is excellent, and Im surprised I get it in the rural area. The battery is my main issue with the phone. The 12 pro battery is better, but Im not entirely sure by how much. My current usage of my phone can go about four days on a full charge. Ive had to sacrifice my widgets on my iPhone for 5G. Ive also done other costcutting methods to save on my battery. Its why Im stuck on four stars. Still, Ive always used the iPhone since the first one was released, and so far, I was not dissatisfied with any of them. This phone is no exception.
Shaky411 –
I upgraded to the 12Pro Max from the XS and just WOW Such a huge jump in technology between the 2 devices, most notably the camera the battery life. The battery life on the 12 Pro Max is just incredible and enough to justify going for the max over the standard pro model. I easily get through to bedtime with more than 40 remaining and I would easily consider myself a power user. The cameras are amazing especially the ultrawideangle lens. Lidar scanner is a cool addition although I have not explored all of its possibilities. This is a must buy phone for anyone who needs good battery life and a decent camera.

Terrific product. Lightening fast, for sure 5G waters my eyes. Decent price. Sales staffer was magnificent Cenena probably misspelled her name. She knew the product, explained my options in detail and did if in a reasonable amount time. Ive used the i12 for a week now and I love it. Used many of the bells and whistles and like them very much. Ive replaced my 8 and am very happy with the new iPhone and the Woodbridge Best Buy team. Still have a lot to learn about all I can do with this phone have only had it for 78 days.Semper Fidelis.Larry A

I have owned this phone since launch and I had no problem. But at all of sudden in the month may I cant keep a call for more than hour. Im constantly on the phone. Work and personal calls drop after 1hr of talk. Gotten a new SIM card same issue. Did more research and this phone has been know to have dropped call issues. Seems only Verizon has had this issue with this phone. Both Apple and Verizon are blaming each other for this problem. If I were you Id wait till the next iPhone skip this one. Now I have to wait and to upgrade this junk.
eaglegrad16 –
After too many problems with my Note 10 plus, Verizon offered to upgrade me into an iPhone as it would be a different experience and presumably better one. Getting away from androids for a while. Not so much. Not only did this 12 Max Pro not activate correctly, it took the Verizon store and online tech a full day of haggling with the activation and connection and it STILL would not not behave. Not at all a great impression for such a pricey iPhone. I should have stuck upgrading to a better android. I returned after 10 days. Good riddance.

Pros Battery life is amazing, you dont have to charge it for days. The camera quality is exceptional with so many different options and being able to take quality picture. The usueability is really easy to operate and able for any person. The design is sleek and stylish and they have really gone to lengths to making this product an exceptional. Furthermore they have the new usb c charger with lighting bolt cable, fast charge. Apple has done it again.Cons They only downside is that they should give a plug, as you have to purchase a plug separately is causing more packaging and effects the environment more, if they had included in the box.
PennyC –
Love the size and sleek style. There have been a couple of issues Ive had. I am trying to transfer data from my old phone to the new one. I have 128GB and while transferring, got error message that I didnt have enough space. This was bogus since my old phone has the same GB and has storage to spare. It took two more times to get it to work. Also, everything did not transfer. I did backup to icloud but still didnt get all. Also, this whole process took three tries at 3 hours each try. Make sure you have plenty of time to waste before you start.
Shane H –
This phone is awesome Its much faster than my 11 Pro Max. Its taller, wider, thinner, and the cameras are WAY better. The 5G works great and I get so much faster download speeds now on my cell network. It just feels thinner, flatter, and better in my hand. I upgraded every year and this is definitely my favorite upgrade so far. Not a single hardware or software issue and all my apps have performed flawlessly. Two thumbs up on this one
kennymo –
The return to the squared edges make this a much thicker feeling phone in the hand and compounded by the additional weight, it feels ALOT bigger, even though its the same width and only .4 inches taller than my old 6sPlus. I had waited for the 6 Plus for a larger iPhone before upgrading from the 4. I then waited for a 5G phone to justify the investment in a new phone. I felt Smartphone features had plateaued with the 6Plus and needed a good reason to upgrade. Im pretty disappointed though. 5G gets left off in Settings now because the key, most essential feature of a phone is RELIABILITY. It needs more than anything else NOT to annoy or frustrate. Setting this new phone for 5G upends this despite reassurances of a smooth automatic transition while set for 5G from .Also, you would think would be able to make good use of the increased screen space but no. The info bar at the top of the home screen no longer permits battery nor a headphonesconnected icon. How dumb is that. There seems an awful lot of wasted real estate now at the top of my home screen. It doesnt help that I can look elsewhere for that info now that was kinda the point of putting it there in the first place no Ive long perceived that has a very poor process in place to evaluate changes to the userexperience. My biggest complaint is how things change unnecessarily, too often undoing improvements as the interface evolves. Why, when I commit to a platform and its user experience, do I constantly have to get used to doing things I do all the time differently Something simple like opening an app, from one update to another, becomes a consistently frustrating experience for no obvious benefit. When I touch an apps icon I want one thing and one thing only to happen for the app to OPEN Not launch a submenu of options. LEAVE STUFF ALONE should be the order of the day for stuff that otherwise works just fine. And while were at it, why does the recent calls list always default to NOT showing the MOST RECENT CALL Am I the only one whos noticed it lands somewhere down the list, to calls made days ago Just dumb to hafta scroll several pages of recents back to reach the top of the list after selecting recent. How about the only way to turn off autoscreen dimming is to leave the setting for autoscreen lock to never I could go into this and many more minor complaints but you get get the idea and Im trying not to be a ranter.Out of context, this is of course a miraculous device worth owning for the sheer power of its technology. But in context, Im kinda sorry I decided on an upgrade whose improvements are marginal. I think thats really saying something though considering I waited since the 6s Plus to make the move….

One of the best iPhones from previous generations. This iPhone has a beautiful exterior color of the pacific blue color. It feels very sturdy to touch and looks amazing in hand. The display is really vibrant and images, text, and colors really pop out. I think that the camera on this model iPhone is the real selling point. With the amount of great video and pictures you can take, its almost a professional camera in hand. Now with 5G cellular service, Ive experienced better cell coverage in my area and less dropped calls. Using multiple apps doesnt slow down this iPhone either, I use a lot of apps and performance is still above par. Overall a great upgrade to anyone using a previous model iPhone.
LeDollarBean406 –
I had an iPhone back in the day, and then switched to Samsung and I really liked my Samsung Notes. I recently adopted kids, and I take photos constantly, and play games and watch things on my phone, so battery and photo quality are important to me. This phone is hands down the best at both I only have to charge my phone at night. I very very rarely have to charge it more than once a day. The photos I have taken are amazing. I do miss that I cant personalize my iPhone like I could my Samsung. But its a phone ultimately. It does what I need it to do.

Camera lens image quality are great Design is not revolutionary. iphone 12 pro max is bulky, heavy, ugly, not minimal design, aweful addition of 3 big lens, hating the flat edges and the mix between mat and glossy finish.., backside finish is aweful… overall experience with this iphone is so disappointing. As usual protection is mandatory making it more bulky and ugly around the lenses… Iphone did an iphone for 2020. As good as this year. Cheap. I had most of the iphones, this year edition is the cheapest and most disappointing version… Apple, change your designers team

I havent fully set up my phone with Tmobile yet but finished setting up my phone and I must say that this was amazing The delivery process was comforting with quick and easy updates, and it came 7 days before its ETA It was in the original apple iphone 12 pro max packaging with all of the accessories you would get with a new one the sticker, phone and charger. I was surprised with that because most refurbished phones come with a plain third party box. Upon opening the box the phone was so big and shiny, setting it up was easy and I checked the battery health and it was at 100 No noticeable fingerprints, beautiful packaging, looked brand new and only for 900 This was a real deal and I cant believe that Im the first to ever leave a review for this amazing product.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is great upgrade from the iPhone 8 Plus I previously had. The screen size is much larger but the phone itself is about the same size which is good, I wouldnt want a device larger than this for phone purposes. Platform is essentially the same so you can easily transition to this generation without having to learn a lot of new processes. Performance seems more sleek and smooth switching through apps. There are some excellent news features that you might find useful but the phone lets you get used to it and drops hints slowly on ways you can optimize your experience. Ive only had the phone for almost a week now so that is about in depth as I can relay. Battery does seem to last a long time and charges fairly quickly.
PN865 –
I am loving the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I like the feeling of a new phone that I have to learn about. I upgraded from a 7 plus, so it was a big jump. The screen size, graphics and speed are amazing. If anything I am disappointed about it that it still does not have a finger print scanner. They put it in the iPad pro, why not the Pro Max Furthermore, it is very disappointing that this did not come with any type of ear buds and charger. Only the phone and a USBC to Lightning cable in which am not able to use at the moment. If I am paying a premium price for a phone, I expect at least some accessories to come with it. Even though I am dissappointed in those points, I will still rate the phone itself 5 starts.

Ive only had this 12 Pro Max for a few hours. The Best Buy sales rep gave me a 10 minute tutorial, fir which Im ever so thankful Ive spent about 2 hours tapping, sliding, talking to Siri and missing my home button. Im sure Ill get used to this in short order but right now, its just weird.Whats not weird us how smooth this phone slides from app to app, being able to use an iPencil and the ease of response. No need to BANG on the glass to elicit an answer or gain access.I havent finished set up and Ive withheld a star because its just too soon for a final decision. My best guess is that even with the outrageous price, it will be worth every one of the 5 star, max rating. Fortunately for me, BB has extended 24 months wo interest to pay for this beast much more attractive than my carrier, and they are ever so much better at screen covers and phone swaps. YAY
Carolinac –
This is the best phone on the market for a reason. HOWEVER, if you are sensitive to light like I learned I am, the OLED screen on this phone may cause eye fatigue and headaches.To avoid that conundrum, you can apply a darker filter to your screen so that even when the phone is at maximum brightness, the display appears darker. You can accomplish this on iOS by opening Settings and navigating to General Accessibility Display Accommodations Reduce White Point. Reduce the white point to 95 or below, and ensure that your phones brightness level is above 50. This should help with any flickering, but if it doesnt, simply decrease the white point and increase the brightness level.
Not happy –
This phone looks great. That is the best I can say for it. I have this phone and a Samsung and have to say Samsung blow this phone awayFrom connectivity, ease of use, settings menus, responsiveness and even customer service, Apple and this phone doesnt even come close to the Samsung.On the iPhone, Email inboxes are EXTREMELY delayed , it drops connection constantly, will not retain Apple ID password reset 7 times in 2 days and facing that issue yet again, Apple customer service, after over 1.5 hours on the phone with them, could not resolve the problem and abruptly hung up. The downloaded apps lack many needed and essential functionalities you get from Google when one can actually get into the Apple App Store to download, and Apple collects and stores ALL of your info. Although they have good security it is not infallible, as my friend found out when his browsing, financial and email accounts all were compromised through his Apple account. The collection, aggregation and cross referencing of info and data particularly with Apple integrated products and Apps, poses a significant privacy and security issue for all users.

Solid phone. Screen looks like it has better resistance to scratching. I dont use a case or screen protector and have not seen any tiny scratched that the phone developed right away from the 11 Pro Max I had..of course it had the strongest glass in any iPhone..which was crap.I think there are some screensoftware issues Apple needs to work out. Sometimes people call and when I answer it just hangs. Could be a 5g thing who knows.Phone looks and feels like a high end piece of gear.
Fnetdds –
I love the speed and capabilities of the iOS software. Coming from an iPhone 10, I wanted an even l larger screen and of course 5G. I am not disappointed. The screen size is very nice. The phone is heavier than what I am use to, but it only took about a day to get used to that. At times the side feels a little awkward because I use a phone holster attached to my belt or pants, so the bulk is pretty noticeable. The camera is amazing, and I cant wait to learn more about all of its capabilities. The speed of the phone is very impressive as well.

For those that remember and loved the iPhone 4 you will love this. The design is superb, for the first time in purchasing Apple iPhones i am not using a folding wallet case. I use a diamond clear case to show it off and bought a separate wallet. I also fitted a 9H protector for the camera lenses, i have a 9H glass cover for the front both very cheap to purchase on eBay. My phone is the 12 pro max 256gb in graphite, the weight alone gives you satisfaction I will not go Into the technical detail but the upgrade from iPhone 11 well worth it in my opinion. For technical specs google iPhone 11 or current phone v iPhone 12. Word of caution, it does not come with a plug and the charging lead is USBC. I bought an 18W charging plug on eBay and the charge rate is excellent. I also did my research and decided not to fall into the trap of buying apples new old in fact wireless magsafe case 50 or the mag safe charging wire with mag disc. Might look great on the phone when connected but additional money not necessary in my opinion. Instead I bought a wireless portable power bank that also has conventional connectivity. In summary, best iPhone yet, youll not regret it. Dont fall for the gimmicks unless its what you really want.

Overall its a really nice iPhone. I do prefer the flat edges over the round ones. The GeekBench scores are of course better than the iPhone 11 Pro Maxs. My negative is that it didnt come in green, which is my favorite color. That being said the blue looks really good, not cartoony like the plastic models.I wouldnt say the cameras are a major improvement over last years but you can see it does a better job. Especially in low light. The stabilizer does seem to do a better job than last years model. Ill need one of those phone gimbals to really do some fun recordings. Waiting on the ProRaw update as well.Ive tried a few apps to utilize the LIDAR but most arent very good. The AR works fine well detailed. Im still looking for a good free scannerMapping app.Im not currently in a 5G area but I do travel to those areas throughout the year. Hopefully COVID calms down so I can travel again and try these speeds out. I do use WiFi 6 or AX and theres no surprise Im maxing out my data speeds during tests. I also noticed ping is several points better and little to no jitter.I have played multiple games and didnt notice any lag or at least not bad enough to remember.The newer bloon tower defense 5 I think would crash after a certain level on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. It hasnt happened on the iPhone 12 Pro Max so far.PUBG runs smoothly as well. I set FPS to max and quality to balanced sometimes higher with no problems.Waiting on the LOL Wild Rift to arrive, but the mobile legends version runs perfectly so far.Enough about games. If you use a wireless charger even the Apple one its still not faster than wired but is convenient. Ive tried wired and wireless with bricks ranging from 18w90w.Obviously the cap is what the device is capable of but a 20w wired phone will charge faster than a 20w wireless phone. I do like the MagSafe puck if I need to charge while gaming because you can swivel the cable out of the way.Speakers sound fine. I must note there is one less circular slot on the bottom right speaker section. Last years iPhone 11 Pro Max has 7 circular slots and this years has 6 slots.The bigger screen is good enough for watching movies or shows in a pinch. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is very capable and videos look great. I personally prefer iPad when possible but having a pocket sized screen comes in handy.I am happy iPhone finally got 6Gb of RAM. But Apple needs to make a line specifically for power users. Such as higher refresh rate, more Ram, stronger chipset, and better GPU than the rest of the lineup. Im ok with losing some battery percentage throughout the day in favor of power.Also clear casing instead of these frosted ones would be epic. Maybe even RGB lighting that users can customize directly from the device. Seeing these powerful components inside of a phone would be super neatAnyways if youre in need of a phone that does the most and prefer the Apple ecosystem Id definitely recommend the 12 lineup. Just keep in mind COVID has made the fingerprint scanner very desirable. Personal preference though.

This phone really stands out with the that amazing matt colour. Everything is really at its best from the body to performance. I have never seen a phone this responsive, the A14 chip really made a huge difference in battery life despite of lower capacity to 11 pro. Dont listen to those Android lovers that criticise this phone as now days flagships around the same price bracket and this comes with 6.7 screen size which just a little smaller that Galaxy ultra. The new ceramic shield does a an excellent protection to the screen you can watch drop tests on Youtube, and well built. I remember when the first face id came out everyone made fun of it, but it is a way better security than finger print scanner. Face id is probably a bonus to the iPhone devices and makes its technology at least a couple of years of the rivals. Although, ive noticed a bit of lags with iOS 14 but it will get fixed with the new updates.
JBCreus123 –
The function and camera on this phone is great. The pixels and speed is the best Ive experienced on any cell phone. Where this phone lost me is the width and bulk of it. The squared off edges also make it feel way bigger than it is. I cant comfortably use one hand to navigate this phone. Ive had the max style Iphone Pros since the 8 series. This is the first one Im actually exchanging for a smaller size Iphone. Im going with the Iphone 12 Pro. Bigger is not always better, lesson learned with this phone. Its like the Cadillac Escalade XLT. It looks and runs great, but for everyday use and functionality, its not for everybody.
D Navekar –
A solid build with good features to last a few years. A nice clear rear and front camera. Storage size helps with apps. Loud built in speakers good for videos and calls. Sharp crisp image on display. Works well with the Apple ecosystem. ESim compatible so can have two numbers on one phone and having a larger battery in the phone helps. 2 year warranty with JL is also a bonus.

The gold on back is a little paler than expected, more of a sand color. I still like it, it just not what I originally expected from the marketing photos. Shipped on time. I had preorder and it arrived exactly on the 13th, the first day it came out of preorder. Easier than going in store. So far it runs as expected but I feel it too soon to say much else about the phone. Im upgrading from a 6s plus so regardless everything feels like an upgrade to me and I am comparing it to 5 year old tech. The night mode is impressive without ever have seeing it before.
Paul427 –
The new iphone 12 Pro Max is compromised by the relative cheapness of the companies involved with its poorly planned execution in the market place. A new low has been reached in customer service and consequent customer satisfaction when, apparently without any notion of customer fiduciary responsibility, ATT agreed to sell this phone in the manner it was made available by Apple. Not only was the plug portion of the charging system not included neither earbuds, it seems that it was too much for either company to provide a single website address to illuminate the operation of the phones features. ATT personnel who were addressed to help with this situation seemed to vary between those who tried to help make the customer whole and their jokelike Loyalty department a place I assume where executives like to go, play, and probably do anything EXCEPT serve the customer. Despite my overwhelming dissatisfaction, the individual who served me in the Loyalty apparently couldnt think of anything to do or offer me despite the fact that my outragedissatisfaction was apparentWith regard to the technology, I am not quite certain that this equipment is fully functional as it was designed. Strange setbacks keep defying a smooth operational experience, possibly in part due to my inexperience I upgraded from an iphone 6s plus to this new model for which I had great hopes. It still does not yet seem to function smoothly or consistently, perhaps due to Apple rushing it out the door with insufficient qualityinspection checkpoints. Well now I guess Im saddled with it…Better luck next time

My favorite iPhone ever Ive owned the 4, the 5s, the 7, and most recently until now the XS Max. My friend once said once you go to the Max or you never want a smaller one again. She was so right once I upgraded to the 12 , I knew i had to get the pro max. not only does it have a HUGE amount of storage, but also a great battery life. the screen is basically indestructible, which is good because ive cracked every iPhone ive ever owned. 100 recommend upgrading the 12 pro max when you get a chance

Splendid indeed. Still exploring the magical capabilities of this new device of mine, but the size of this multiline paragraph will not be enough to contain my excitement. My iPhone 12 Pro Max 5G 256GB is the ultimate computing machine ever created for personal use. This phone is hardly a phone. It is everything under the sun but a phone. It is where man and machine build a long lasting relationship that transcends space and time.

Bought me and my fianc both the 12 pro max and I have to say Im pretty mixed about it. Her iPhone drops service randomly, quite a few times throughout the day. Frequently drops calls anywhere her service has full bars, and she has to turn her airplane mode on and off for her phone to even search for service. Mine on the other hand isnt near as bad, but does have issues every now and then with dropping service randomly. Not sure if apple will fix this with an update to the software but if they dont I wouldnt trust getting one. Seems like so many out of a bunch have a lot of troubles. Also pretty disappointing that I pay for the highest data package for her phone so she can do work and online school on it for it to have so many troubles staying connected to the network and now have to stay in a contract with the phone and deal it with it for the next two years.

I went from a white 64GB iPhone 8 Plus to this Pacific Blue 512GB iPhone 12 Pro Max. There are stark differences Its far bluer, for one. It has a longer name, which equates to a better quality product. Theres no home button now, although Im attempting to correct that by pushing my own indentation into the screen where the home button used to be. I do appreciate Apples penchant for keeping pace with my declining eyesight with increasingly larger screens. I was hoping the 512GB storage would afford me virtually unlimited space for my 1980s heavy metal library and for filming 4K videos of my neighbors going outside without masks on and while the 80s metal has indeed thrived under its new Pacific Blue overlord, the Pro Max struggles surprisingly to manage 4K videos slowdowns and even lockups. The new chip is clearly not Starfleetapproved for this workload. Other than that one shortcoming, however, the Pro Max is a very nice phone. The still camera is very impressive, allowing me to take better lowlight pictures of my beard than Id ever thought possible. Still, its just another iPhone. Its better. But soon enough, itll be worse. The world moves on and, when you get older like I am, lots of lifes color and texture fades into the malaise of sameness and repetition.

Best iphone Ive had, no problems. No software glitches or malfunctions of any kind that ive run into. Works great. This phone can hold a freaking charge. I havnt charged my phone in 2 and a half days and im just now at 20 battery life. Granted i dont game on it a ton which may drain battery fast but i think the phone could still perfom well while gaming. The phone takes great pictures and automatically ajusts the contrast in dark environments to make the picture look its best.

I had an original iPhone X and decided to update to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The reason was only because some of my apps like reading news were becoming extremely slow and crashing. There were too many ads and video for it to handle. So, I figured with all the upgrades since that model I would go ahead and upgrade. It is definitely faster and handles web and other apps with ease. It is really bordering on being too big to be a phone in my opinion. Other than that, I havent really found anything that really wows me. It compiles video from Adobe Premier Rush much faster than my older phone. I was excited for the LIDAR, but havent seen many apps using it and anticipate it will be more evidently a great tool when devs start integrating it into their apps. Overall, I might consider going with the Pro and not the Pro Max if I was to do it again… but I am not disappointed with this phone and getting used to the size.
Marjorie DS –
Very happy with the phone itself. The size is not too large like everyone said. Its fine The touch screen is so much better. The feel is just better in my hand. I really bought it for the camera and Im disappointed in the lack of preset filters. For being sold as a HDR professional camera its not. I still had to use my own LR app and others to get the look desired. The different zooms are good though. Low light is way better. There werent enough software upgrade features for the money in my opinion. For the max, I feel like I want more for my money. Lastly, I wish any of the sites I checked on when buying apple and att showed someone holding the phone in a video. I didnt realize how chrome the sides were. I would have gotten the gold had I known it was actually gold metallic and not just frosted gold. But thats just a marketing disappointment.

Not impressed so far. Battery life is no better than my old iPhone 6s. Requires charging almost daily. The new phone uses usbc cables, so get ready to upgrade. If want to try wireless charging, well get your wallet out again, you buy it.Huge amount of difficulty setting up, phone was irreversibly convinced it was for my fianc, as we share the account. Finally had to call tech support. They finally got a few thing fixed, but I still cant use my yahoo account for email. Keep getting bad request messages, so Ill be calling tech support again as there is no way out of the loop.The phone does have a good camera

Bought for my daughter as a surprise for her 33rd birthday She is so impressed with it not just the great camera quality and features, but also the speed of apps and downloads as well as battery life. Always been an android user and mainly Samsung but found the features and capabilities on this to be far better than the Samsung S21 Ultra. It is a heavy phone but then you have a large screen. She loves the colour pacific blue. Smooth transfer from the Samsung to the Iphone. Speedy charging too.

This is a great phone, which is what I expect from an iPhone. But, the camera blew me away. Took some video of a parade while walking. When I played back the video, there was no bouncing…looks like I was floating. Plus, really nice picture quality. Tried the 5G function at the Discovery District in Dallas and was on 5G most of the time at that location. Happy with the purchase and especially with the order process…super easy to get this phone and at a bargain with trade in. Tried an Android for a short while, but its just not as intuitive. I highly recommend.

I bought this around a week or so ago, and already it had benefitted me life greatly. First of all the camera, its a beauty. It came in real handy while I was doing my university dissertation film, the quality is top notch and the zoom levels, especially the 0.5x helped massively. Secondly the battery, it lasts all day idle, and survives most of the day with intense usage. Pair this with the new charger Apple released and it charges very quickly. The processing speed is noticeably more faster allowing smooth usage of the phone. Safe to say Im pretty satisfied with this for the next 3 years

I upgraded to the iPhone 12 Pro Max 12PM from the iPhone 7 Plus 7P which was my favorite phone.Things I like…a Bright, colorful screen. The colors really pop and its very bright, easy to seeread.b Battery life is now 23 days vs. my 7P which I had to charge every night. If I forget to charge it, its not a big dealthe battery lasts all day and then some.c Fast. I never thought my 7P was slow but everything is just faster on the 12PM.Things that Im still getting used to…a The size. This thing is ginormous and still takes some getting used to.b Photos. The camera in the 7P was great, always took really nice pictures the 12PM has so much camera power to play with. Night Mode is really nice if you havent seen it yet.c 5G vs. 4G LTE. There is a noticeable but not overwhelming difference between 5G and 4G in my area on 4G LTE, Ive only seen data hit 100Mbps once and often between 2030 Mbps on 5G, Im seeing 50 Mbps almost consistently its maybe not a big difference for email, texts, movies but the downloads esp. on hotspot are as close to home wifi as you can get on a cell network.Improvements…a None, really. Apple really thought of everything on this phone.Comment While it wasnt a big deal for me because we have so many power cables in our home, the phone did not come with an AC adapter. You can charge it from your MacBook Pro but any AC unit will do, especially if you already have an older iPhone.The only thing I truly didnt like about buying the phone through ATT instead of Apple was they latchedon the Asurion protection without telling me, and I had to go to the store during a pandemic to have it taken off it wasnt even on my receipt, I got an email the next day telling me I had signed up for 15mo. No thanks.

Upgraded from the iphone 7plus straight to this. it takes a little getting used to as theres no home button and some of the features are different. but overall a great smart phone decent screen size, I thought it would be bigger as past reviews stated but still a good size the 3 cameras at back look awesome too I made sure i had a protective case and screen glass ready as it was delivered the next day by DPD also the battery life is good, it will last me all day on social media,spotify etc…

This is without a doubt the worse phone I have ever owned. It constantly drops the internet connection and it no fun trying to get it back. So in order to turn off the phone you have to depress the up then down volume control and then hold the power button until the power slide appears. Then to turn on the phone you have to depress the up and down volume button and then hold the power button down. However, the phone does not turn on right away. First the apple will flash and then you have to let the power button go and depress it again and wait for the apple to appear again. Then you phone will turn on and there is no guarantee the internet will boot up. I had to do it five times today alone and still dont have any internet service. I hate this phone and would not recommend it to anyone. Apple should be embarrassed to even sell this phone. I should have kept my 6 Plus. I like the style and design but its not much good when you cant use the phone.

Another superb product from Apple, and remarkably easy to setup, transferring data and settings from my old XR was a breezeThe battery on the 12 Max seems to last an age, a massive improvement on earlier iPhones. The the 12s real party trick is the camera, oh boy this thing is astonishing… sharp super high res images even in very low light conditions. If you record a lot of your daily life this phone is indispensable.I had a slight issue accessing the free 12 months of Apple TV, but this was all sorted out by John Lewiss ever polite and helpful customer service.

This is my first experience with an iPhone, having been an Android user, so this will be my comparison with a Nubia Redmagic 5G. The biggest difference is the screen on the Nubia is brighter, and the colors seem more crisp. Also, I have to constantly raise the brightness level on the iPhone since I wear glasses. I dont know if there is a setting that keeps it at the highest level but it can be annoying sometimes. With the Android I set it and forget it. I know it drains the battery faster, but I dont mind charging it more often. Im still getting used to all the other features how do you restartpower down. The iPhone does have great audio. There is actually some bass you can hear and feel Im still using both phones, but so far, in my book, the Nubia Android has the slight edge, and also costing hundreds less .

Having upgraded from an iPhone 6 Plus, this phone is brilliant Great to have a full sized screen and Im sure that if we ever get 5G here in Cornwall , that will be a great benefit too. Fantastic and better camera. And it was so good to be able to put the old and new phone together, and for everything to copy to the new phone. Im sure that there are probably hundreds of features Ive still not discovered yet and look forward to finding these A beautiful sleek phone Would have probably liked some kind of wireless earphone to have accompanied the phone, re the money Im paying… and maybe some more tips as to how to use some features…. but Im really pleased, and glad that after a lot of research, that Id upgraded to this iPhone 12 Pro Max
Steph007ess –
I bought the iPhone 12 Pro Max to accompany a photography course and to replace my much loved pixel 2 close as updates have stopped.Its a big phone, a little heavy but thats fine.Screen quality is a level up from partners fairly new Samsung.The only thing that gets me is when I play over Bluetooth in the car there is a crackle sound thats there just enough to annoy and the sound is not full.I then discovered that if I reconnect to Bluetooth and reboot the phone its beautiful and clear music such as you would expect for the price tag. Hopefully Apple sorts this software issue out

Whether you will admit it or not, the home button is so much more convenient. The feeling of the new iPhone reminds me of the iPhone 4. Rather than have nice smooth edges, the 12 has sharp edges. Had I not had to replace my iPhone 8s plus I would not have paid 1000 for the iPhone 12 max pro.Camera the camera, both front and rears, are amazing. The look of the backside camera is ugly.Plugin Apple is cheaper than the work in China. They charged the usb to usbc square plug adapter. Rest assured your old iPhone X876 chargers still work.Battery life so far it lasts for what I use it. I dont actively use the phone so I am not certain of what a day on the road steaming Pandora would be.Speakers nice loud music when using your phone as a stereo

It was very easy shopping with you. The iPhone arrived earlier than expected which was delightful. However, I did not receive my Trade In mail so needed to reorder. Hence I sent it out late. Hoping ATT will consider it. Also, when I called ATT to transfer my service to the new phone, well, they deactivated my old phone first before reactivating my new, so after waiting in line for over an hour, I had to walk to an ATT store to get my service transferred to the new phone. In the end all worked out.Overall, good service just need minor tweaks. However, really happy with an early phone arrivalLipi

Its a great phone. I love the larger size and the heavier weight compared to my old XS Max. Not completely sold on the matte glass back on the silver phone it appears white but its completely covered by the cases Im using. Not completely used to the wider side yet having become very used to the narrow thin profile of the XS Max. But Im getting used to both of these aspects because I really like the larger screen. Having a few issues related to getting group texts from Android users but Im sure that will be resolved in future.

I sent back the phone for the following reasonsno enter key in the keypad, the phone had my picture yet asks me every time I touch it 4 my pin number. The verification system was a nightmare. Not user friendly at all. No way to check how many windows u have opened, no way to switch between windows. Maybe its there and idk how 2 use it, but Ive never had an iPhone, never will buy it again. It truly makes me wonder why does this phone costs so much when it does so little, my android does so much more. I had high expectations and it was absolutely disappointed. Waste of time. Rather buy a Samsung again.
TXchickie –
I had the 8Plus as my last phone, which I loved. Decided it was finally time to see what else is out there. Picked up this one am glad I did. Doesnt seem too much heavier or bigger in size like a lot of people say. Its fast, clean easy to navigate. I also like that they have a color assortment now, makes it a bit fun. I like Face ID, although wearing a mask hinders that, but still a nice feature. Siri I have been getting along a lot better on the newer version, they must have had a good talk with her.

Not a big fan of this latest version of iphone. The lack of fingerprint detection is pretty annoying. The face recognition does not work when sitting on a counter desk, which is where mine is most of the time. Having to wait each time until its finished looking for my face, before giving me the prompt to enter my numeric passcode is an annoying time waster. I have also found many repeatable instances where I cannot touch a cursor or similar function because it is apparently out of the screen bounds This is much less user friendly all around versus my previous 8.

I have a ProMax 12 for about 3 months now and I was hoping for some improvement updates but I still dont see it happening I have 2 main issues, both related to Bluetooth headset connection First off, it keeps disconnecting for a few seconds while on call, it switches from the headset to phone then back on Bluetooth which is very annoying if you talk a lot Its happening every single time while you take a phone call on a Bluetooth headset, no matter what brand you use Second issue is that every time I turn on the Bluetooth an Apple Music or Airdrop widget appears on the screen and takes half of it I do have the Music App and I love it but I dont want the widget on every time when Im using the Bluetooth headset or car connection I did turn it off, I turned off the AirDrop, reinstalled Apple Music but no success Apple needs to understand that not every time when the Bluetooth is on is for listening to music In my case is for talking… A third issue more recently is the fact that the keyboard is acting weird while the charger is plugged in Is messing up the letters and numbers, which worked just fine when the charger was disconnected Hopefully well see some updates soon…

Slightly disappointed I traded my IPhone 11 Pro Max for this phone. The battery is smaller and definitely noticeable. While it charges faster it also drains faster than the IPhone 11Pro Max. The processor does not save the battery as Apple had said it would. Also highly disappointed that Apple did not add the fingerprint scanner on screen like the Note 20 Ultra has. With masks being the new normal that is a feature than should not have been missed. Otherwise it is a very fast and smooth phone. I do notice the better processing speeds over the IPhone 11 Pro Max. I have used the Samsung Note 20 Ultra and with the 120hz refresh rate, very large battery, fingerprint scanner, and Face ID it is by far the best option out at the moment.

I wont waste your time talking about the piece of crap that I used to have I made the jump and got my 12 Pro Max and its literally the best device Ive ever owned. Blows everything out of the park. Cameras are top notch quality I mean, you can shoot a pic of the moon in crystal clear quality from the ground. Mess around with your aperture.Battery life is amazing, I usually leave 6am for work and dont return until after 11pm and my phone still has juice to last halfway thru the next day. Only time my battery drains fast is if Im playing games on it for hours which isnt often but Ive done it a handful of times.Performance is great, graphics and visuals are stunning. The ONLY complaint that I have is that it didnt come with a set of earphones. THATS IT.
SmS Portraits –
Only had for aweek so far no complaints.Im a professional photographer, so I decided switching from Android to apple solely because of the camera and also videoing purposes. Because juggling two cameras can be strain on my hands and wrist. Well I made a great choice. Video looks just as good as my Canon and Sony cameras. Photos are great but of course not as clear as a camera but close. But I also wanted a phone that would be a great support for photoshop and light room editing. For my first time using it, Im in love with the photoshop speed and editing tools within the iOS app. Speed of the phone overall is great.
mikey33 –
I like the phone but Im just so upset with apple. Why would you make a new cable and not give us a power brick to go with it. They are the richest company in the world. Come on. Its not because of waste either or they wouldnt waste all that paper and stickers that no one cares about. They dont even put it in the mag safe charger box. Thats insane. What a sham. Make us spend more money on a charger brick that you know we have to buy extra now. Apple is pretty money hungry as a trillion dollar company.

I recently upgraded my iPhone from the XR to the 12 Pro Max and couldnt be happier. Its larger than my previous phone but not too big. Easily carries in a pocket still. Camera quality is amazing, love the different settings and options for editing without needing a separate app. Battery life is great, I can be on my phone all day long without needing to plug it in games, apps, videos, emails, phone calls. The 5G capability is a wonderful plus as well, of course coverage for that depends on your carrier and location but Ive had no issues personally. Excellent storage capability. I have thousands of songs and over 15k photos so a large memory capacity is important to me Fast processing of data, quicker downloads and updates of apps, everything Ive come to expect from apple only ever gets better with each iPhone model and every update.

Excellent phone. State of the art. Equals or bests all competitors bar none. Apple is the creator of the smartphone category as we know it today, and they continue to methodically improve their devices while others slap features on phones hoping they will attract the discriminating buyers that Apple enjoys.The iPhone 12 is an Amazing line of devices. The 12 Pro Max allows the user to sense the truth. The device is a spectacularly well designed hand held computer that happens to have a phone app. Truth be told, it is not far from being all the computer that most people require.

Ive always had Apple phones but sometimes skip upgrades. I upgraded from an iPhone X to the new 12 Max Pro, and it was worth it. I love the boxed style and color options. I never thought my iPhone X was slow until I got my hands on this phone. Its blazingly fast, and the camera is incredible. I can leave my Canon digital SLR and all my lenses at home for most situations where I think Ill take photos. Finally, I love the screen size. I know some people might think its too large, but the Max comes with the 2.5X telephoto lens, where the regular 12 pro does not. The physical doesnt seem noticeably larger than my iPhone X, though the screen is noticeably larger and improved. Text is slightly larger and crisper. Images and video look outstanding
Unicorn Pie –
Love it. As a former photographer the lenses are better than I expected. Battery life is long so far. I only have to charge it every other day. My last phone had to be charged twice a day with my workload. Transfering my data over from my old iPhone to the 12 Pro Max was super easy. I was impressed. The two phones talked to each other to transfer over all my data. I thought I would have to log into everything all over again. I have only had to log into a few things and those things were on bluetooth.

I originally wanted the 12 pro for easier handling but the pro max was the only one available in the store when I broke my old phone. I do love it so much Storage is unreal compared to be 7plus 32 GB. I no longer have to think about which app my phone can handle. This phone does it all and the camera is phenomenal. If you are used to the home button. It needs a bit getting used to not having one. Also, my Face ID doesnt work if I am bundled up for a snow day wearing a mask. But, I can live with it. Summer will come eventually.
danostetso –
I had a 12 pro and I loved it, but it felt too small. Im not opposed to smaller phones, Ive just alway had bigger phones, so I though Id try something different for once. At first I enjoyed the smaller size, and reachability. Having a larger screen just makes using the phone more enjoyable because you can SEE more. Reading books because less of a chore because I wasnt turning the page quite as often. The larger camera sensor is great too, it adds way cleaner depth of field when taking regular and portrait photos. Overall I love it and Id recommend getting it if you dont mind using 2 hands occasionally.

I had an iPhone 10 max for about 2 12 years and the battery life was getting shorter. I was also curious about the new iPhone 12 camera quality and to eventually see if the 5G would actually work.Battery life in the new 12 pro max is definitely better Id be down to 20 every night with the old 10 and with the same amount of use at the same time of day Im at 60 with the new 12 pro max.The camera in the 12 pro max is a decidedly better, especially in low light. Its crisper, clearer and has better definition than the old 10.Jury still out on the 5G time will tell. The 12 is faster, the facial recognition is better and its not overly large compared to the 10.Its annoying that Apple does not include the charger, only the cable with the new 12. Always a cash grab on cables or accessories by Apple its annoying.Aside from the phone itself which is working out well, the phone pickup at Best Buy was annoying. Its a long story that I wont reiterate but next time I buy a new phone, it will NOT be from Best Buy. Their staff were rude and bureaucratic.

I upgraded from an iPhone XS.and these are my observationsPro1. The camera is amazing especially in low light.2. The optical zoom 2.5 is impressive.3. The battery seems to last longer but then I am comparing it with my 2 year old iPhone XS.Cons1. The phone is noticeably heavier than the old phone.2. The increased size does not improve what you are looking at and does make it less easy to hold.3. Since I dont do gaming on this, I dont see a difference with the improved chip.4. The 2.5 optical zoom is not much different than the 2.0 optical zoom on the 12 Pro which also has the great low light capability.The bottom line is to strongly consider the 12 Pro.

Very good cell phone I had a perfectly good, littleused iPhone 8 that I decided to replace wa new Apple iPhone 12, recently. I acquired it through ATT, the carrier that has been providing us wservice for several years. The new iPhone 12 is just about everything the heavy Apple promotional advertising promised, although America is slow allowing the full 5G capabilities to be fully exploited unlike China and other nations. That said, my only real beef with the new 12 is that I am one of those geeky users who insists that a SPECIFIC Apple iPhone 12 DEDICATED user manual be accessible for new users to download. As it is, there is no such critter that fulfills this need, so I had to engage in a slow and trialbyerror process of uncovering answers to my specific user questions online, as they pertain to the new phone. If one is patient and persistent, all the soughtfor answers MAY be uncovered, but Apple should have prepared an entirely new DOWNLOADABLE user manual specifically for those who have previously used iPhones only up to and including the 8 series units.

The Iphone 12 pro max is amazing. Apple has always created easy to use modernized technology. If you enjoy using your camera then this phone will not disappoint the night mode feature is fabulous. The color Pacific Blue is sexy. I purchased a clear case to so I could enjoy the design and color. Its slightly bigger than the 11pro max. Ive been an Iphone user since the beginning so appreciate how far theyve come.

My first iPhone and I am very pleased with the look, technology and price. I chose the larger size phone for my needs. I love the speed of face recognition. The camera has some unique features, with Live Photos, and all the filters to choose from. Amazing All the same features as with an iPad and will be in sync with anyone that calls. Also has Apple Pay for the shops, so you dont have to take your Credit cards out with you. This phone was easy to set up and like all phones I have it insured and protected with a new screen protector and case.

I moved from the iPhone XS MAX to the iPhone 12 pro plus. Size wise is comparable to previous large models though in theory slightly bigger. I have heard the gossip and read reports regarding the screen and the camera…. I have not spotted any great differences in the screen appearance. I am sure if I check in detail there is, but nothing to affect the everyday work and video or image enjoyment. About the camera, it is probably great but I am not a professional photographer and I was quite happy with the camera of the XS MAX. What I love is the battery life With the XS MAX at the end of a day with heavy use from 6am to 10pm I shall be left with 420 while now I have 4572 The difference is noticeable even with hard use internet and videos. Also, it may be my impression, but I think the mobile signal I get is slightly stronger maybe the mobile company decided to improve the signal in the area. In conclusion, mainly markedly longer lasting battery and possibly improved mobile signal reception v iPhone XS MAX.

Pros I upgraded from a iPhone 7 Plus so this phone is a big improvement for me. The screen resolution especially the clarity of colours is amazing. The camera has some really good features not least the automatic light correct on the photo mode. The front camera picture quality seems just as good as the back camera and is great for portrait selfies. I love the Face ID because it makes using the phone so much easier and seamless.Cons The phone was out of stock pretty much everywhere so I had to wait about a month before I could order. I can totally understand why it is so popular because I love everything about this phone but Apple havent done a good job of meeting the demand.
AlexMand –
Its a great phone but expensive for nothing. You can get the same experience from iphone6. Switched from Android to Iphone but i regret the move. I think android is the best. It is user friendly and allows you to do much at once..Android intergrates well with other home devices and sharing data between these devices. Cant believe why the heck it has to be difficult to backup and retrieve data from android to apple. Ridiculous Once again brightness is poor on this 12 Pro Max too.

The iPhone 12 is a fine product. My rating is low because of the way ATT delivers it. My phone came without the eSIM set up. There was a nano sim installed, but it was also not set up for my line. There were no instructions in the packaging for how to enable my phone. I was upgrading, and had a nano sim, and could use that to access ATT services. But I specifically needed 2 SIM support and could not get it to work.First I had to get the phone unlocked. Then ATT sent me email to indicate my phone was unlocked, and I needed to do the setup. No guidance on how to do that.So I contacted ATT again. The CSR had to go through a process to get the eSIM activated with my ATT line.Finally, I was able to put a nano SIM in for my other line, and the phone recognized it.This was a lot of confusion and misdirection that made the purchase so frustrating I was ready to return the phone.
Bad Dolphin –
As a family, we try to upgrade our iPhones periodically. The current ATT trade in promotion was quite generous, so we decided this was a good time.The Pros and ProMaxs offer a significantly improved camera with a new 2.5x optical telephoto added to the standard wide angle and ultra wide angle lenses. Along with many other camera software upgrades, it is a significant upgrade all by itself.The other obvious major change is that the screen area has increased significantly in height not width by incorporating the top and bottom bezels into usable screen. All if this while keeping the body size if each model similar to earlier iterations. The new OLED screen in these upper models is excellent.The chip is faster, but the other noticeable improvement is in battery life, which fir us has been a real game changer.I dont know if I would upgrade from 11s to 12s, but if you have an earlier model, definitely worth it. Plea see note that the 12 and the mini, while the cell ER phones, do not have the camera upgrade that was a major driver for us. If you shoot video, the 4K is very good for such small devices, and the slow motion has improved, too.

Upgraded from Xs Max the literal only reason I traded in my Xs for the 12 Pro Max, was due to the amount of reported quality functionality improvement on the cameras of THIS model Im a photographer. The reality is that there is just as much functional noise, color noise, and STILL a failure to produce pinks. It turns them orange, as Apple always has on its phones. Severely disappointed and wish I had gone with the Galaxy Flagship, at least their camera claims are legitimate from firsthand experience. This was not worth the upgrade, as much as I love the fact that they went back to perpendicular edges. This was supposed to be revolutionary.

I am an average user, I upgrade every 23 years, and this time I went from an 8plus to the Pro max. I dont use 50 of the capabilities of this phone. Im old school, I make calls and speak to people, send messages, take pictures, check email and browse the web, and a handful of other apps on a weekly basis. The camera on this phone is awesome, even I can get some good photos from it Night mode it great. The size of the phone is pretty much aligned with the 8plus. Why did I upgrade ATT were offering a great trade in, and I couldnt resist, and my monthly payment is actually going down

My family and I waited to upgrade our phones when we heard the new 5G was coming out on the iPhone 12s. At the time we had XS max. Through out our whole house4 of us weve never had any issues…. until we purchased the new 12 pro max. Since the upgrade, our service has been total crap, not even being able to use 5G like we are suppose to. Personally I have had to have not only my sims card replaced but my ENTIRE phone after having it less than 2 months due to the phone not holding service, I would be standing next to my wife who would have service in the same spot I was in but my phone have nothing… since then Ive still been having the same problem and even so worse within the last week and half. Ive had to constantly restart the phone. Even when the phone would show at least a bar of service I would constant drop calls, and now my family is all having the same issues and can only be in certain parts of our house with still barley any service. Weve been told it has something to do with the iPhone 12s all the way around. And yet nothing has still been done. Version and apple seriously need to get it together.

This phone randomly turns off for no reason. It has happened while using the phone and while it was sitting on my desk not being used. I asked around and multiple friends have had the same issue with this phone. At first, we thought it was certain color phones with the issue but someone of every color 12 pro max has had this issue. i didnt pay a ton of money for a trashy phone that turns off randomly. i will be getting a replacement for this trash. i

Upgrading from an iPhone 7 Plus to the 12 Pro Max is a great change I like the feel and weight of the 12 Pro Max, not to mention the cameras. I have only had it a week or so now, so this will be an initial review only. My biggest gripe is more with Apple than the phone. When upgrading from one to another, it seems to log you out of every app and you need to authenticate to each app. If you used Authenticator with your previous phone, be aware that you will need to re authorize the two step process with Authenticator again. If I had to do it again, I would remove the two step authentication on every app, and then reset it with the new phone. Along that line, you will need to unpair your iWatch FIRST Then shut down the Find My for the old phone. It is still recommended that you turn off iMessage before resetting the phone. Also, it will not carry over the bluetooth connections, so those will need to be reestablished. All in all I am happy with the 12 Pro Max so far.

Im a huge Apple Fanatic all the way from IPhone 4. I just recently upgraded from the 11 pro max to the 12 pro max for 5G even though Verizon is slipping and still doesnt have 5G in my area, anyway this device is fantastic and Apple exceeded my expectations once again, all the negative reviews thats talking bout chargers not an real apple lover, apple told us in advanced it was getting rid of the headphones that I never used took out of boxes and the charging cable and wall cube, heck even those are still in my boxes. For example this phone here, the cable is still in box. Real apple fans like myself already be prepared, I use wireless charging pads and I upgraded to an usb c on iPhone X before apple even decided to change over. So basically I was already utilizing the fast charging protocol. I had to charge this phone upon opening it and it charged very fast, I use an usbc connected to an 30 watt box, and a charging pad connected to the same 30 watt box. Fantastic phone and apple does it yet again, waiting on my MagSafe charger now, which should really be fantastic with my 25watt apple usb c cube I got 4 years ago.

I was incredibly glad when this beauty was announced at its premiere keynote. I was very excited to see Apple bringing back the flatsided design, similar to the 55s. Its an amazing shape that feels so great in the hand and I drop the phone a lot less. Yes, I drop my phone and dont have a case on it. That being said Im wildly impressed with how its held up Ive dropped it maybe 3 times, one time was super nasty, but no cracks. Also worth mentioning I do use a screen protector I bought off Amazon TOZO I think its called. Anyway, this phone is cool but it also has its issues which I believe are more OS related that anything else. My main issue would be how the phone processes photos now. I wish Apple had an option to reverse the processing or maybe just turn it off all together. Techie Tech Phones Apple iPhone

This product has a larger screen compared to the iPhone XR I previously owned. Not that much larger but you can see the difference. I feel like the iPhone 12 Pro Max screen is clearer and brighter in display. Great quality. The touch sensitivity is accurate and the response is quick. The camera quality as well, is really good. I didnt have to zoom in much to get details of pores on a portrait photo. Thats all Ive got so far on this iPhone as Im still exploring the features.

It seems people are sold on the idea of more expensive harder to use great idea. Well, I AM NOT The more money you spend should provide you with more ease of use a.k.a. User Friendly or Easier access or Everything right at your finger tips I have found IOS to be more complicated, time consuming, and very stressful. The imessage service should incorporate options to schedule a message for a later time and date. its as if IOS doesnt consider its user may have contacts in other time zones and godforbid other time zones on other continents. All messaging apps on all platforms should have this feature. I am not a fan of IOS and probably never will be. It is not worth the money nor the increasing amount of time I am spending to find 46 extra steps, which result in having to download 23 extra apps in order to perform ONE SIMPLE option which has been available within Android and other platforms for the past 10 years. DEFINITELY NOT WHAT I EXPECTED..Doesnt seem like I made a good investment by switching from Android to IOS..

Lets begin by saying we should never complain about any phone and what it does cause we had rotary phones and messenger birds that took along time to get a message. Anyways, this is the worse IPhone Ive ever had. Ive had every one of them from the 1st to this one. Its difficult also cause we are in times where remote learning and extra computer use is happening now. It could be the world is using to much internet, etc. With that being said, my internet on this phone is horrendous. Both Wifi and either 4G or 5G. I have to also shut my phone off and turn on to listen to any voice message andor messenger. It will not play unless I do that. It does the basics as all of the other iphones in the past but not worth the money I spent on this. Very disappointed. Get the IPhone 11 Pro Max instead. I shouldve never upgraded.

Got the Pro Max as it feels much more robust in my hand and not because of the camera system. Seems like that camera is why people choose this over the regular Pro version. It does take wonderful fantastic pictures, but it is very similar to the ones my friends have taken on their iPhone Pro. If it was the same size, I probably would have saved some money and gone with the regular Pro.As for 5G I dont download large files, but downloads tests go a bit quicker. However, Im not seeing any real difference when streaming no buffering as on LTE. One thing I do see is if you are at the edge of the 5G network, itll try to hang on to the 5G connection and not switch over to a stronger LTE connection. For the most part, this wont be an issue.I give only 4 stars as it appears that Apple is starting to sit on their laurels. Lack of innovation. The went back to the same design as the iPhone 7 especially the mini but beefed up the hardware to keep up with 5G.

Its big but it delivers It is easier to use and to read. Graphics pop The keyboard is more compatible to my hands. Its size makes it a little more difficult to conceal and carry but so far, I dont mind. It wont fit into my cars IPhone charging space because its too big to lay flat in the designated smaller space. The audio is certainly better and its louder if you need to listen without a headset. I had to buy different cables and power adapters but that seems to be the case after a few years and with technological advancements anyway. After a week, I am very pleased

This is one incredible phone I have owned a LOT of phones some Android and three years ago I made the jump to iPhone and never looked back. The iPhone 12 pro max is arguably the best phone on the market, period It can handle anything that you can throw at it with ease. Its just that powerful. Its tremendously fast, the battery lasts all day, and the cameras are absolutely stunning. I cant think of one thing that I dont love about the 12 pro max. And that display, so very gorgeous. I am one satisfied customer

Love my new phone I chose the pacific blue and its such a beautiful unique colour super happy with how sleek it looks Loving the camera and the quality of the images and screen view is awesome its very clear and crisp Battery life is really good too Ive always got music, Bluetooth connections and using the phone and its lasting all day without charge something that would have never happened my iPhone XR Only thing I think is a negative is the fact you dont get a plug with it, you get the wire…but not the plug kind of a rip off and cheap skate thing to do from apple as its not even a usb plug that everyone has its a new plug that you wouldnt have if you didnt have this new phone. Dont really understand how they dont provide all the products neeeded to actually use the product but apart from that I really enjoy my upgrade apple iphone appleiphone iphone12 iphone12pro iphone12promax phone electronic device

I am a new iPhone owner. Ive resisted for years. Just upgraded to the iPhone 12 Pro Max Google Pixel 4XL before this and the largest newest Samsungs for my two or three consecutive phones before that. I am in love with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. First of all this is the FASTEST phone Ive ever used. It is insanely fast and handles all tasks with ease. Ive fallen in love with iOS, as much as I hated it at first. Some of the finer details that have been a REALL big deal include being able to switch between recent tasks such as phone calls, Google maps, Spotify using the upper left top of the screen button over the time. Swiping down on the upper right of the screen for most of what I normally quickly want to be able to do. Adjust brightness, turn WiFi or Bluetooth on or off, auto rotate phone, etc. Google maps pop ups telling me what to do next when in another task such as a phone call is a BIG deal. Why did Google not include this feature on the Pixel 4 Videos look inedible on here, audio sounds great. Speakerphone works better than any of my Androids. I have one major pet peeve, actually two. The first is that the Skype keyboard is far less effective than on the Google Pixel. The second is that it is very cumbersome trying to copy, paste, or navigate the cursor within a paragraph. This last one is actually probably my biggest pet peeve with the phone. Battery life is far better than on my Pixel. I might be an iPhone customer for life, now.

Its very nice. At first glance, you dont notice much difference from an 8 Plus, but the camera is better, and the batter last a lot longer. I have had a bit of flakiness with the screen. All diagnostics come back clear, but occasionally, I press on it and nothing happens. Have to get outin of the app Im having trouble with. A coworkers 12 Pro Max has severe screen failures, and he got it replaced under warranty. The store told him there were some known issues with iPhone 12 screens. So far my issues are minor and they dont bother me, but, its the first time I have ANY problems with a new iPhone
Jennifer iphone review –
If you like a big phone, this is for you. There wasnt a lot of clarity on how to do the transfer but a helpful YouTube video later and I was all set. There is no convenient pasting of codes from text messages. I notice its a big glitchy and lagging. Definitely a down side of having to buy your own charging block. Not a lot of recycling or substantially sense there. Overall, meh. Its an iPhone. Nothing special.

So I had the iPhone 6, then the 6s, fast forward a couple years and then grabbed the 11, out of nowhere deciding to get the 11pro max in the cool green it came in, to having that phone stolen without having insurance on it only to find out the phone was discontinued and the only option was the 12 Pro Max and it came in a really nice matte blue color… appearance wise I was SOLD At least if the phone sucked it still looked good right Over the course of that initial first 24 hours of playing around with the phones little tools and gadgets there was always something new around each corner. The camera and video by far were better than anything else Ive ever seen in a cell phone. The pictures and video features are insane compared to older iPhone models. The only downside for me was the weight of the phone but that was quickly knocked off the list because I did choose the biggest model that the phone came in. Its been a good 3 months now and theres not a week that goes by where I dont come across another cool feature that the phone has. In all to say the least I love the phone and couldnt be happier If it wasnt for this phone I probably wouldve switched back to the Galaxy with its really sexy and sleek edges and infinity glass sides… so happy I didnt Hope this review is helpful to those out there who just want the best.

I loved my Pixel 2XL for a long time. Bought it when they first came out. Fully planned to upgrade to another one. Long story short that plan went away when this phone was gifted to me by my daughter lucky me. The 12 Pro Max is an amazing device. Everything is fast. WiFi, photo processing, everything Ive used it for so far has been perfect. The camera is on another level. Im thinking about selling my DSLR since I just dont use it anymore. It is expensive no doubt, but Ill keep it for a few years. Not it will be tough to get me to go back to Android.

55 stars for the IPhone 12 Pro Max I recently decided that my IPhone X needed an upgrade Especially as an influencer, I heard great things about the camera and thought it could be very beneficial to me and very much has been The camera is STUNNINGpeople cant believe I take pics on the IPhone I love my matte black one too Its large because its the max, so I appreciate the screen size when watching entertainment Its also accident proof I dropped it in the river and it came out working perfectly The only thing about this phone I would change is the color variety I am so happy with it, otherwise
Creyerse –
Having had an iPhone from the first introduction I have never had anything but an iPhone. This one has got to be the top of the heap. It is fully capable, and still easy to use. I love the screen size, it is large, yet not too large that you fell clumsy in handling it. Both my wife and I have one, and she loves hers as well. I have yet to fully try out the camera capability, but being an avid photographer I plan to test out its capabilities. Being a 5G phone also helps, the fact that this is readily available simplifies the unique capability of 5G now. I must say, I am not disappointed with the 12Pro Max, it is well designed, with the latest chip design, I cannot fault it in anyway. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone. One of the easiest features was actually the upgrade path, it was fast, and easy to ensure all of my apps were loaded without difficulty.

Before I begin if I could give this 10 I wouldI am a pensioner 74 years young and this phone is a dream. I was a bit worried about transferring everything from my other iPhone XS Max I do love a big phone but no problem at all I did it from the Cloud backup which made me smile as I didnt know I was using it and hey presto it was done took about 55 mins in all for it to complete but everything is as it should be. If you love a big phone then this is for you but if not the 12 pro would be better. I have hankered after this phone for some time so when QVC brought it in AND on ep I couldnt resist. I know I probably wont use everything that this phone can do but the look of it and what I do use it for suits me fine. Thanks Apple for a beauty but especially to QVC for bringing it to us and making it easier to buy.

Like most iPhones the new iPhone 12 Pro Max is rock solid. Nice form factor, size, screen. Looks amazing.Pros Very fast processor Fast load times Zero lag App selection Old iPhone to new iPhone transfer Camera is actually really goodCons iPhone antennas dont appear to be as strong as Samsung or LG A little spendy but not terribly different than other like sized flagships Battery lifeo Not just battery life. Everybody complains about that on almost all high end phones. They used a smaller battery than the 11 Pro Max. Said that the 12 would actually have better battery life due to the new chipset. This is totally false. Im getting much shorter battery life compared to my old 11 Pro Max while using the new 12 Pro Max in the same manner and NOT on 5G. This is comparing battery life to my 1yr old 11 Pro Max. So a brand new 12s battery does not last as long as a 1 year old 11.Still giving this a 5star rating as it is an amazing phone. People just need to know that your battery life will not be the same.

Love love love the IPhone 12 Pro Max. Size, performance, visuals, etc. Thank you for moving the side buttons down.I gave 4 stars and not 5 because like the IPhone XS Max, no matter how many times I tried EVERY suggestion out there, these phones will not sync with Safari on my IMacother devices allowing me to view my open tabs on Safari. Many many days wasted trying. The 2 squares in the upper right corner on the IMac only produces a blank page and the same with the phone safari scroll. Very frustrating The only IPhone that had this ability was my IPhone 6 and I loved it. I could pick up easily where I left off on any device.Also along with the really nice new blue color, a deep red would have been a nice choice too.Also would have preferred you left the big random photo viewer alone at the top of the page on the short cut widgets when you swipe left. Rather enjoyed that. Now I only have the tiny square widget to view and not an option to put it back.Also the charging adapter should have been included with the cord. Not every one upgraded from a newer device thus now adding an expense to purchase the accessory on top of the already high cost of the phone.Have only had the phone a week so still exploring. The above is a review of the week I used the phone so far.

It is still a lightning cable but it is lightning to USBC. Lightning to USB still works like for apple CarPlay and such so you do not need to buy new car cords to use the phone. The only thing with the USB is if you use that instead of USBc it charges way slower. The only thing required to buy is the square block to plug the usbc cable into. If you have a newer MacBook that block also works. These are just things I wish I knew before I purchased because I thought you didnt get a charger at all and I thought the whole thing was usbc to usbc like the MacBook. Overall great phone and fantastic photos and video

It is a trip, how just a few more mm of diagonal screensize can make a huge differenceSo far I have only taken some self portraits and portraits of my cats and there are a lot of new features built into the cameras. I cant wait to do some landscape and night photography.Speed is really good, and the graphite look is really sleek. The edges of the phone look like hematite stone. Gorgeous. Much better than the novelty sky blue color that my XR had. That wore off pretty fast.The only down I would say, is that it can hurt my hand from holding it for games or online reading for a long time.

I am a loyal owner and user for iphones, but never like switching to the latest and greatest, just for the sake of changing to newest. My 8 was awesome in user friendliness, and the camera abilities some of the best quality. Im in marketing and most of my friends thought I was using a real camera rather than my phone. Since having to switch to the new 12, Ive been disappointed with the camera quality, even after I edit images. I know there are new zoom in options and bells and whistles, but would rather have greater resolution and claritystability of the product and end goal. Feels like there are extra stepstouches to take to make what was a single steptouch. I dont really need any larger screens. At some point it will become an ipad, and wont fit in any of my bags or purses or computer totes. Only leaving a review here because Im hopeful someone at Apply sort of reads a few of these, and makes some notes, for future products… or maybe not.

I use Android and iOS. Love the innovation in Android and equally the perfectionism and more cautious approach to development that is the signature of post Jobs Apple.This is just a beautiful phone to hold and look at. Its that simple.Plus good camera is important for me as an ex Fuji and Sony shooter who decided to get rid of all the bulk and cost of mirrorless and fullframe systems. This camera is very good. Dont let the low megapixel count put you off. Its really not as important as Oppo, Samsung etc would have you believe.
Casual Shopper –
Upgraded from a iPhone X to the 12 Pro Max and functions very similarly with added features and larger, sharper screen. Greatest improvements are related to the camera with multiple lenses and functions that make for much better pictures and videos. New phone accesses the new 5G network and downloads, streaming, browsing are all faster and higher quality. Only quibble would be that a case is a must for me because of the squared surrounding edge of phone causing discomfort when holding phone. Case solves that issue

I am not a techie person, so this is for the few of us on here who just love the mundane things about say, an iPhone. First things first, this phone is stunningly beautiful. Nice shape, nice weight and a variety of colors to choose from. It fits your still whether you like to slip it into your pockets, purse or simply hold in your hands. Secondly, this phone has a great camera. Id like to post some of the pictures Ive taken since landing my hands on one, and maybe will if anyone is really interested. Now onto practical stuff like day today routines. Being a parent of 3 little ones, my phone has been subjected to some accidents when little hands somehow acquire its possession. But so far, it is holding steady having insurance cover will ease your mind. Alarms, reminders, notifications, video and sound quality are a notch better than your last iPhone. This is definitely one you wanna get. I am had to leave a comment because of how I have been blown away by the latest from Apple

I bought this phone replacing a Samsung Note 20 Ultra and am very pleased with the transition. The key feature that I like is the Apple Carplay. It works so much better for hands free driving. The Samsung didnt work as expected with Android Auto. In previous Iphone models, I had problems syncing my Mp3 on it. This issue has been corrected. I have a library of about 4,000 songs and didnt want to have to pay for them on Itunes. Everything is pretty good. The Bad They no longer include the charging block and the charging cable is a USB C to lightening. Very inconvenient if you dont have and adapter for the USB C. Not sure why they didnt include it. Cost of manufacturing that item couldnt be more than 12 a dollar. This does not however negate all the positives.

I should stayed with my gut and kept my iPhone 6 Plus I do not like this phone I only upgraded because my husband Kept hounding me I use my phone for both personal and business use. Since I have upgraded I lost contacts and notes that I a unable to retrieve I contacted the att store and they informed me that my icloud updated and wiped it out and I am not able to get it back since it is no where in the new back up Grrrrr a lot of important information is now gone and Im left to try to get it all back The 6 plus never lost any information And it did updates all the time . Two weeks into having the new phone it powered it self off. Hence when I think the information was deleted I dont like the no button and I find that it just doesnt work the same the only good side is that my battery life is so much better one of the main reasons I upgraded. Along with thinking that the newer model had so much more to offer NOPE. Sometimes older models are better

Better processing chip, better screen, better software, makes for a better iPhone overall. I upgraded from an iPhone 8 Plus to an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I can tell you that I can literally feel the differences in my hands. Its much faster even without 5G and works much better than my last iPhone had. The screen appears more durable and looks crystal clear compared to my 8 plus. I really want to see what this phone can do with 5G but will have to wait to travel to a city in order to test it out when the pandemic passes. It does feel a bit heavier than other iPhone models but thats nothing to complain too much about. The camera hasnt been put to the test yet as I dont have any real reason to take pics in various locations just yet, but from what I have seen and used its fantastic. With a 0.7 mm thing case I have it all under wraps for some drop protection and put a screen guard on top as well. Im happy so far and hopefully things will only get better as days go by.

I really like this phone. It definitely is not for the weak of heart. It is a significant upscale from the IPhone 6s Plus that I am ungrading. from. It is a large format i.e.phone footprint from the previous phone a plus for my big fingers. The. automation is stunning in setups often to the point of confusion. All in all I. think this is. going to be a good exerience as the phone is blazzingly fast and physically tough with better shock resistance etc.I would buy again.
PAULA –
I do like it so far. Wish the 512GB was available to buy and it came in more colors.I was very impressed with the huge curbside pickup. Since it was late in the day I didnt venture into the big store. Ill have to come back. One thing I love about the screen is dark. But it so heavy and even heavier with good quality cover to protect it. Definitely need pop socket or ring on the back too big and heavy hold hurts my hand. Also I dont like that I have to pull the screen down to find out what the battery percentage is.

I probably wouldnt know how to survive without a iPhone, and this 12 pro max is so beautiful and just what I love about iPhones is the capabilities and ease of use and flawless outcome time after time. The camera is so good too I had the 11 pro max for a while and really didnt notice much difference besides the camera and shape. But I have noticed a few issues already that are kind of annoying. The mag charging doesnt always work. Even with the mag sage chargers, or wireless chargers. And it gets really hot when I have a case on it, but not having a case on this beauty is not an option at all, no way. So hopefully the heat isnt effecting anything… Wait, what if it ruined my ma charging capability

I bought this product a month ago for my wife as a gift.I know its iphone but i am experiencing some issues with the phone recently.Problems includes touch screen swiping itself sometimes.Volume going updown itself.Screen not turning on immediately. Takes time to turn on the screen.Speakers not working simultaneously sometimes while watching videos online.I dont know what should i do with this phone. I have updated and done all the quick fix things but nothing seems to work.I myself is an iphone 11 pro max user from over a year now and never had any issues with my phone.

ok as a geeral camera and its fast But for divercity agains an android. No The camera still lacks for quality against an slr although posibilities for low light open up much more scope. However the over lap of images to bring in low light imagaes look false. The ability for expansion and imorting , you have to have an up dated I tunes and for music for other files you need to have the latest mac or subscribe to icloud and even then Word documents dont edit to good. As for a pocket HI Fi and TV its fantasyic. Video i am sure is great. But the rest. If Android designed there better for feel and size and bought the price down. i would have another andrid. You cannot use memory sticks to laod anything.

Connections to accessories like the airpod and other bluetooth devices seem to get tripped up, although eventually can get the issue resolved. The camera has great options for close up and landscape photography, but I wish they were more transparent about enhancing the photos and video picture. Had to youtube a few tutorials in order to get the basics down, did I really miss out on that much technology with my upgrade from the 7 Need to dive into some advanced tutorials on utilizing the widgets and layout options. As a heavy user I still have to recharge a couple of times a day, but its definitely a workhorse for video chat and programs like Slack and Asana. A solid upgrade, but not without a few frustrating glitches.

Having upgraded from an iPhone X, the 12 Pro Max has me pretty stunned. While the X was a remarkable upgrade from the prior model, this models camera and screen performance perpetually catch me off guard. Portrait mode in the camera app is now nearflawless and lowlight performance with the new main camera leave me near giddy. Also, the sensorshift stabilizations ability to smooth out video and tighten up longexposure is nothing short of baffling. Yes, it is big and heavier than any phone Ive worked with but it does everything it tries to in spades and I couldnt ask for any more from my phone

I recently upgraded to the 12 Pro Max from the 7 Plus, and man are things slow. Right out of the box and after some forced updates, I wasnt able to browse the web as fast as I had on my 7 Plus. Occasionally getting buffering issues on youtube and other websites that I didnt have before either. Some of the apps even take longer to load. I thought I was getting an upgrade but all I got was more screen space and maybe a little bit extra battery time. Why is my new 5G phone loading websites and videos slower than my 4G LTE phone Hopefully things will pick up speed after more software updates, but as it stands, I doesnt even feel like anything is even faster. Not having touch ID is also terrible because face ID cant tell who you are when your nose is covered.

Love this phone although I wasnt crazy about the roving credit I would receive for my tradein. Traded iPhone XS Max.The screen size is maybe a 14 larger than what I was leaving it does everything my old phone did.only quicker.I am not a power user but I am truly enjoying this phone and am happy with the change up. The only downside was the quote given me by the sales person in the store selling me the phone for the trade value. Then giving me the info to come home and request the boxmailing label trade request and finding out it was 50 less. and I had already moved into the new phone.

Very disappointed my partners 11 Pro Max is better than the 12 Pro Max I got. Reception is worse, wifi signal is worse, MagSafe is a dodgy gimmick and the Apple MagSafe cases reduce my wifi speed by about 6070. You cant handle the phone without a case because of the shape and slipperiness, the screen doesnt even feel like glass and scratches much easier than any other phone Ive had before. Speakers are good, camera is okay but I had a Huawei with a much better camera in the past. Battery is okay but again Ive had better. Its not as zippy as I thought it would be and crashes way more often than any Android Ive ever had. For general use its average or just below definitely not worth the money you pay. I know people are fanatical about Apple products but after using this phone for a few months, I honestly cant figure out why its extremely disappointing. Ive complained to Apple twice, theyve told me theyd call me back to troubleshoot and just never call because they clearly know that its not something fixable and the products themselves are faulty. One tech support guy even told me that the 6070 reduction in wifi signal from the case is expected They sure dont put that on the box Simply put, spend your money on something else theres much better out there.

I dont know how much I like it yet. I didnt automatically love it. Coming from the XS Max and this is more awkward to hold for my small hands. The screen isnt as vibrant. As far as functions, it works great so far. Not crazy about the shape. Makes it hard to hold. That will be an adjustment. I need more time with it. The camera works better in low light but thats really the only difference I notice except its slightly bigger and awkward to hold which I may get used to in time.

Love, love, love it.So pleased that I had John Lewiss Tech Team to set it up for me.They were SO, SO helpful.Its not so difficult either to operate as I thought it would be, after only being used to an Android. Apple have so many ways of helping, some of the Apple shops are live on the P.C. You just need to book from an app on the phone. I have daily tips sent by email too.The camera is wonderful and if stuck up a mountain after a fall it will contact help for you. It even keeps calls away whilst driving.John Lewis also give you 2 years warranty. Superb

The hardware is great. If youve owned iPhones before, its an improvement in more of the same. Faster, snapier, better camera, nothing crazy. It is heavier than the XS Max I upgraded from. The average user may find that problematic and tiring on the wrist.Now the bad The setup was one of the most frustrating experiences Ive had. Trying to transfer data from my old phone took aprox. 34 hours. Eventually I read that its best to setup the phone as a new phone update it erase and start over. Its only then everything out without freezing up. There is also an issue with audio cutting out on calls for the person on the other side. Hopefully these issue can be fixed with future updates, but unlikely since the 13 was just announced.

Worse upgrade yet for iPhone. Had to restart the phone three times before my data was finished transferred otherwise it would just stay at loading apps. Also was not a fan of the fact that ATT cancelled service for my previous phone while I was in the middle of an unknown area luckily I was able to make it hope without GPS and finally did not like that because I upgraded my phone ATT deemed it necessary to change my service plan. All the negatives out of the way the screen is immaculate and at full brightness while watching movies or shows the colors just POP. Camera picture quality is noticeably improved. Overall once it works its good but the getting there and ATT service portion to get me there was not good.

Phone started out lighting fast and then 2 weeks in it started to lag and continues to lag even with 5G. It also gets really hot at random times and always when charging. Never had these issues with my 11 Pro Max. Has this weird thing where the volume icon shows it going up and down randomly without me actually adjusting the volume. My screen has froze a few times as well to where I have to restart the phone. Ive only had it for less than 3 weeks, with my luck it starts after the return period 15 days so Im wondering if this phone is just defective.

Love my new iPhone, I upgraded from my iPhone X XS max and i can instantly tell its faster without running Benchmark. I love the fact that it is a larger screen plus a faster processor because as a professional photographer and cinematographer, having a great quality phone with an amazing camera is essential for taking photos or editing on the fly in LR mobile. This camera is also great for BTS shooting since it does shoot at 4K 60. I now can finally go a whole day without needing a charge plus the USBc charger is a night and day power source when you need a quick charge with right block, only reason why i gave this a 4 is bec Apple didnt put some sort of finger print ID to unlock since face id is useless in Covid times. It wont unlock wearing a mask obviously so you will have to enter your pin to unlock some wearing your mask. Lastly, no charging cube Seriously Apple Do better This phone isnt cheap to not have one included

I absolutely adore the color and texture of this phone. I went from an XS Max to this and honestly love the size difference. The performance is fast and easy to use. The new 5G works amazing in highly populated areas. If you live in the country, like me, then you wont be able to experience only in more populated cities. Definitely would recommend getting a screen protector as well as it will protect your screen from so many damages.

Nice way to find out how to take more from us the consumer. NO INCLUDED POWER ADAPTER OR HEADSET. This phone was priced above one thousand dollars. You might say, maybe there is an extra one laying around, or one from your last phone could be used Well not everyone one changes phones every time a new one is released. I do not have a USB type c power adapter available, or wireless headphones. Really Apple A thousand dollar plus device doesnt include the basic equipment that every single phone before it had A very poor decision to not include these items. It just feels bad that in order to charge my phone I have an extra purchase.

Awesome phone the edges are more square not rounded. It has a larger memory instead of 64 its 128. without paying a higher price. It was an awesome upgrade. The size is a little larger and heavier from previous iPhones. You wont lay the device down and forget it any where. The 5g is an awesome upgrade. Speed is better. I still had a lte in my old device it was a XS Max. So, I just love the new device. Im located in Houston,Tx. I order it online from ATT on preorder so I could receive the phone on release day. I did upgrade my watch to the series 6. So, everything works awesome together I have att unlimited plan. I have been with AtT for nine years. My service is perfect.

I love this phone Im coming from the iPhone6s with 32GB to the iPhone12 Pro Max 512 GB. Major upgrade The camera is why I invested in the phone and I am pleased with the phone overall It is massive I like how big it is. So much storage and I have only had Candy Crush rebootcrash on me lol. I love the speed and the setup of the new iPhone But again, that camera and fancy editing features is where its at The camera quality is better than my canon power shot and the photos come out nice and crisp, especially at night Great phone Highly recommend

I upgraded to the oPhone 12 Pro Max from an iPhone 8. The phone was for my daughter. She does alot of zoom and takes lots of pictures. The size was the hardest to adjust to for her, but after a few days it was no big deal. The camera lenses protruding out of the back were a bad design by Apple. My Samsung Note 20 5G has 3 flat lenses and its easier to avoid scratches. I ordered separate lens protectors with dark rings to avoid flash white spots on the photos caused by the first clear lens protectors I purchased. Overall, My daughter is excited and this seems to be the hest Apple had produced to date. Still a great phone

love the iphone 12 pro max so far. the only issue i have had so far is when i went to set the iphone on the magsafe wireless charger or my belkin wireless charger. the phone would not capture a wireless charge and i had only had it a few days. i figured it wouldnt hurt to turn the phone off and turn it back on and suddenly wireless charging worked. love the phone regardless though. cant really tell a speed difference with the 5g yet, even though it is enabled in my area. overall the phone is amazing. great size if you want a huge phone

I finally decided to do a upgrade. Went from the XS MAX Plus which was basically the upper class 10 to the 12 Pro Max. Thoughts… I like they have the square body type back. The screen went from a 6.5 now to a 6.7 The camera is upgraded, battery life is a million time better, low light shots are amazing I absolutely had that it only came with a just a charging cord and not the block but still a great phone. The phone is a good weight and heavy like all the other Apple iPhones. My only thing that Im not a fan of is I think the video on xs max was clearer but maybe I need to change my video settings around. Anyways, great phone and definitely a upgrade with the 3 lenses and the added bonuses. The battery charges so fast with the proper block and cord The batteries are way better in these new phones. Im happy as always with their products.

Upgraded from an iPhone 8 Plus to the this iPhone 12 Pro Max. The actual size of the two phones are almost the same, but the screen size on the new iPhone 12 Pro Max model is larger. The camera of course is a 100 times better on the iPhone 12 Pro Max model. The processor speed is extremely fast, and I like the customizable Home Screen layout. While facial recognition is great for unlocking your phone, it doesnt work at all while wearing a face mask due to COVID 19, so you are forced to type in your password each time, or bring down your mask so the phone recognizes you not the safest option right now. This is why I gave it a 4 star rating. If Apple could add back the fingerprint scanner and keep the facial recognition to unlock the phone, I would have given it 5 stars. The fingerprint scanner would definitely be a better option during this pandemic, and you would keep your mask on

If you use Android, under no circumstances switch to this phone. Natively, without third party apps with bad bargains, you cant see photo size, type on a keyboard with punctuation, take closeup pictures, see what youre typing in game apps, dictate close to the screen because it will mess up dictation, teach specialized words anytime soon or with any consistency, take close up pictures without blowing things up, take a screenshot that you can immediately upload to CS places that take 5mb or smaller unless it is a simple picture because game pictures are 16mb and normal SS are 5, and I could go on. There is VERY LITTLE you can change in iPhones. Picture size, file size, all of that is determined for you and is immutable.If you dont want to think, love handing your information out and anything you type in the case of third party keyboards, please, get this phone. Its for you If you like to see the files in your phone, see sizes of things, decide quality and size of photosscreenshots, avoid this horrible device with everything in youI wish I had

I will tell you I used to work at apple in Cupertino in design. Not software but the actual look of the devices. Before I quit so I could travel the world alone so I will never bash the aesthetic of an iPhone I think they are sleek and beautiful and have become something that we are inevitably tied to. This blue matte color is gorgeous the team did a great job. But if you arent up for a trade in or if you have one that isnt a pro and is an X or and 11. You are fine I am NOT tech savvy despite working for the company and I can not tell the difference. I actually liked the camera on my better If you arent a blogger or content creator or videographer you will be fine with the older cameras. I find that if you wait about 2 to 3 years then it is worth making a switch. And unless you use a clear case or are just balling and carry it without a case…you wont see the color So dont feel like you are missing out on something Your phone is still good. That being said this is a lovely phone the screen is larger but I am not someone who cares about that so I dont even notice

The IPhone 12 Pro Max is a good phone but it really is a IPhone 11 Pro Max with a boxier body and Slow 5G which is slower than 4G in every Category except Download Speeds. It will Download movies from your ITunes quicker than WiFi would. But good luck with Watching content uninterrupted without getting a buffering issue and pauses in your movie or tv show. New Gold polish looks better but it scratches easier. Im overall Happy but thanks to 5G 512 gb of storage, I will not buy another IPhone. Also the IPhone 12 Pro Max battery is drained quicker than the IPhone 11 Pro Max IPhone XS Max. But still all day battery not two day battery like my IPhone 11 Pro Max that I traded in for this 12 Pro Max. I love my Secondary Phone the best. It is Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Bronze. Also the 11 Pro Max is heavier and I like my expensive phones to feel heavy and premium not light and cheap like the IPhone 12 Pro Max. But the IPhone 12 Pro Max boxier shape makes the phone easier to hold and feels like you will never drop it.

It is such a great upgrade from my XS. It feels super premium. iOS runs quick and smoother than ever. The cameras are ridiculously good for pics and vids. The speakers are really loud and have more bass than previous iPhones. Screen size is perfect for easy reading, playing games and watching YouTube. Only downside I see so far is it is a pretty big phone making it hard to handle onehanded. Besides that, one of the best phones out there.

So maybe Im not a super user or whatever but I felt compelled to come on here and write a review because due to the reviews on this page, I almost didnt purchase this phone. I have not had ANY of the issues frequently described. I have yet to drop a call and my battery life is great I used and set up the phone straight out of the box as is and so far, I love it My ONLY complaint is the weight of it as it is a bit on the heavy side for a phone, however, it is a large phone. I upgraded from an iPhone X so I was used to a smaller phone. That being said, the weight isnt a bother, just something to get used to. The camera is AMAZING and overall, I love it and am glad I didnt take all these reviews to heart I felt like someone needed to come on here and let everyone know that each experience is different and this phone isnt bad at all

I upgraded from an IPHONE7. Quality. Built very well. Again, I am really into Apple Products, so I do not go out and compare with other manufacturers, because, if its not broke, what is there to fix. Over time, I have come accustomed to Apple delivering great products. I also really like their EcoSystem. The clarity of the phone is great. The pictures and videos along with the editing features are insane. Job well done Apple.

A few highlights that I am enjoying updated shortcuts, customizable widgets home screen plus an excellent camera and video recording I am disappointed that there is no facial recognition while wearing masks. That would have been clutch for this iPhone release and Apple missed the mark. The phone has a nice weight to it and feels good in the hand despite the heftiness of it. The sound quality has improved also. I would recommend this iPhone upgrade.

Ive had the phone for about a week now and so far its a great phone. I decided on the Pro Max because if the camera and the battery life but I was worried it would be to big to be comfortable to use. Turns out I really like it and it doesnt actually feel huge or anything. I really like the extra screen space. The inky negative For me is that it is heavy compared to my last phone which was a iPhone X but I got a Otterbox case with pop socket and that helps offset the extra weight. Overall, glad I went with this phone the pictures it takes are simply amazing

What a beautiful phone. Some will say, what is the difference between this and the others. Well..its such a beautiful well structured phone that has such fast ability wonderful battery life. The camera on this device is unbelievably flawless makes it such a wonderful camera to capture everything. You will instantly become a professional photographer. It is simple to use. The size of the phone is perfect. Very sleek and smooth. The quality of the screen…I didnt think it could improve from the previous iPhones but it most certainly does.
