Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review: The camera you want, in a size you can’t handle
It was in some ways frustrating for the iPhone 12 Pro Max to launch a month later than the iPhone 12 Pro, because we couldn’t immediately compare them side by side. But working under those constraints has provided me with extensive time using the iPhone 12 Pro, so now that I finally have a 12 Pro Max in my hands, I can leverage that considerable experience with the platform. That lets me evaluate the three huge things (emphasis on huge) that differentiate the iPhone 12 Pro Max: The size of the phone, its subsequently larger battery, and its improved camera system. The “Max” iPhones have a short history, but have gained an extremely enthusiastic following. Some people have seen the value of having a huge iPhone and never looked back. For those people, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is wonderful — it’s yet another huge iPhone, brought up to the modern era of Apple hardware design and features. If you like the design of the new iPhones, as I do, you’ll love that you just get more of it in the 12 P...- Large and beautiful display

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Review
The iPhone 12 Pro Max, the largest model in Apple's iPhone 12 lineup, adds super-long battery life and a giant screen to the 12 Pro's excellent camera capabilities. 2020 is an anxious year. If that anxiety manifests for you in worrying that your smartphone will run out of charge, you might want to consider upgrading to the iPhone 12 Pro Max ($1,099 and up), a giant serving platter of a handset with the longest battery life of any iPhone, ever. It's also the largest, heaviest iPhone to date, and one of the most expensive, which makes it hard to recommend over our Editors' Choice award winners, the iPhone 12 mini ($699 and up) and the iPhone 12 Pro ($999 and up). Before I continue, I should note that we also have reviews of the aforementioned iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro, as well the iPhone 12 ($799 and up). These phones are comparable in many respects—with similar screen technologies, the same processor, and iOS 14—so here I'll focus on how the Pro Max is different from its siblings. If one of your questions about the iPhone experience isn't answered below, see our main iPhone 12 review. It's a Big 'Un Apple has had big phones for severa...- Long battery life

iPhone 12 Pro Max review
One of the greatest iPhones to date, packing in the best smartphone camera, outlandishly good performance and cutting-edge features like 5G and Dolby Vision, but a few too many issues undermine an otherwise excellent experience.- Best camera phone to date
- Premium, elegant design
- Amazing performance
- Superb battery life
- Beautiful display
- Charging and MagSafe are a mess
- iOS underutilises big screen
- Display tops out at 60Hz
- Heavy, unwieldy form
- Price

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB - Pacific Blue MGDA3X/A review
Apple's biggest phone to date excels as a photographic tool, especially in the dark.- It sets a new bar for low-light photography, even if the bar isn't drastically higher than the competition. If you like big phones, you'll love the massive screen. Excellent battery life. Also makes phone calls.
- Expensive. No 120-Hz refresh rate or USB-C port, two features commonly found on other large phones at this price.
Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB - Pacific Blue MGDA3X/A review
Such a large phone that it won't be to everyone's liking, but if you want big then this iPhone delivers without making the form-factor awkward to hold or use.- Great cameras
- 5G connectivity when you need it
- Big and bold screen
- Design is large but not awkward
- A14 Bionic processing power
- Low-light photography enhancements could be better
- Much the same experience as the cheaper (and smaller) iPhone 12 Pro
