i am using vivo v9 gold chain ring on camera and i love my phone but i want to upgrade to iphone 14 pro max but its expensive😊 so i will buy when i get well government job😊
iPhone 13 Pro. I've had it since release day, of last year. It's been a great experience. I usually upgrade every year, but I'll stick with my 13 Pro, for a couple more generations.
I upgraded from 12 Pro to 14 Pro Max, both for screen size and battery life. I find that I do really like the dynamic island feature, upgraded cameras and brighter screen, other than that, very similar experience from 12 to 14.
Yeah but in the wrong direction in many ways... it already started with the 12 series but especially with the 13 Apple is taking it WAY too far with their oversharpening and noise elimination (it's not even "reduction" anymore). It destroys more than it helps more often than not.
I only went from the 12pro to the 14pro due to the increased battery life. Other than that, practically no difference for me. The 12pro is a damn good phone and you won’t regret it. If it wasn’t for the battery I wouldn’t have even bothered with an upgrade as to my 12pro was great.
Thank you! This made me feel great about my 12 pro, Honestly, I really love this phone. The only downside is the battery life but I absolutely love this phone.
I liked my 12 pro max. It is a great phone but my battery health was down to 88%. I kept it for a backup but I got the 14 pro max and the battery life is amazing, plus I need all the help I can get taking photos. I love the 14 pro max!
the 13Pro is honestly the best phone on the market for performance and value, with better color options too. I have a11Pro in Midnight Green but unfortunately it is water damaged so I was forced to buy a new phone and I wish I had bought the 13 Pro instead of the 14 Pro (Deep Purple).. every time I see that Sierra Blue I wish I had it.
I’ve only seen a couple of your videos, but would like to compliment your review style which is super “down to earth,” and an added bonus- you have a great voice! Keep up the good work.
I bought my iPhone 12 Pro at the time because of the excellent camera. I have looked with interest at the results with both the 12Pro and the 14Pro in this video and the only significant difference where I feel the 14Pro shows better results is in the lack of lens flare. For now, I will keep my 12 Pro which I love using and wait on further developments.
I'm still really happy with my 12 Pro. I thought about upgrading to the 14 Pro series, but could not find enough differences to make the upgrade worth it. Early rumors about the 15 series do sound interesting, I may be upgrading then.
yeah, the only reason to really consider is battery life because after the 2 year mark the battery starts to be about 15-20% degraded, but then again you can just replace the battery in it
In November 2024 I swapped my 12 pro for 14 pro. Same A16 chip as a 15. Don’t like the “updates” of 15 or 16 like having to replace every charging cable I own. Plus 15 and 16 made price drop a little more on 14 pro. 12 pro under 77 percent battery and back glass cracked. Easy choice. Paid half for an improved same phone that I loved just better. No need for 15 or 16 yet. I usually upgrade every 2 years or phones since the iPhone 4,6,8, huge break and went to 12 pro.
One thing to consider when buying from the Apple refurb store is the FULL warranty along with all of them will come with a brand new battery. Amazon renewed don't replace the battery unless it is under 80%
My renewed premium from Amazon 512 gb came with 100 % battery life for $770 after 5% prime cash back, not a scratch or blemish anywhere return window 1 year from purchase date for any reason, hard to beat as far as I’m concerned!
A friend of mine has the iPhone 14 Pro and the camera bump really is insane. It adds about the same thickness as the entire phone and it’s ridiculous. They should just make the phone thicker and add a bigger battery because this is getting out of hand.
Using my 12 Pro still, I had SO many software problems on iOS 15 but thankfully iOS 16 seems much more refined. The phone still feels mostly as speedy as the day I bought it, but my only problem is the battery life, I find myself charging it 2 times a day on 96% battery health.
I honestly feel like both the microphone and forward facing camera on the 12 Pro is superior to the 14 Pro. You looked pretty blurry at times on the 14 Pro imo, and the audio is more muffled on the 14 Pro. The only real reason I can think of to upgrade to a 14 Pro is for the added safety of the satellite communication capabilty. Other than that, the 12 Pro is fine. I really thought the 14 Pro would blow away a 12 Pro, but that doesn't seem to be so.
Is it me, or the clarity of the picture is better on the 12 Pro? It seems like dark colours render more realistically on the 14 Pro, but they are more visible on the 12 Pro due to details being less dark, which makes the image look better, in my opinion - same goes for video quality. So all in all, if you are taking pictures as an art, go with 14 Pro, but if you want details and clarity even on the darkest portions of the picture, go 12 Pro.
I upgraded to 14 Pro from 12 Pro. The difference is not massive. For me the only real advantage is the promotion display. Rest of the things I don't really think warrants an upgrade from 12 Pro.
12 Pro is still a very much viable smartphone. But if your battery life is degrading, the 14 is a worthwhile upgrade with a noticeable improvement when it comes to especially the 120hz and the camera performance.
I might be one in a million but I prefer the 12 pro max. I also upgraded to 14 pro max only because I got offered such a great deal for upgrading but honestly some of my apps still are not optimized and do not perform as they did on my 12 pro. And as far as cameras I don’t really take pics. I did notice slight better performance but really not worth it to me other than I was ready to get 1tb of storage for mostly music and files. If I could I would be fine with a 12 pro max with 1tb lol
I just bought my mother a used iPhone 11 Pro as a Christmas present. In the time I have been setting it up to get it ready to give to her next month, it appeared to perform fantastic on iOS 15.7.1. The cameras also looked to be nice quality as well!
@Tracey Reese You don't need to always have the latest and greatest... Plus these newer phones are "stupid" expensive. I thought this conversation was all in fun at first but you had to go and be rude for no reason. I will stop here since there is no purpose to continue with you further. See ya.👋🏼
I still have my iPhone 12 Pro & lasts me all day on usage! Don’t see a need to upgrade, not a hype like many people who get the newest phone each year.
Been using my 12 Pro Max for over a year and a half now and it does just fine for me. The new features on the 14 Pro are great but in my everyday use I don’t even use half of what my current phone is capable of so upgrading wouldn’t make much sense at least for now.
I traded in my 12 Pro Max toward my 14 Pro Max. Funnily enough, traded in the silver model you're displaying here for the purple 14 Pro Max. The trade in value of $530 was hard to pass up. I knew for sure if I waited another year that value would plummet. I don't regret the upgrade. The 120Hz display makes animations and transitions feel incredibly smooth and the dynamic island is delightful. Overall, the upgrade was not "necessary" by any means but I don't regret it.
So, just put the order in for the 14 Pro after having the 12 Pro for 2 years-ish. I understand they're not that different really, but the battery on my iPhone 12 Pro is at 82% (still lasts a normal day). I'm a big camera person and don't always have my DSLR with me, so hopefully the upgrade in camera quality will be the main reason I've upgraded. We'll see in a few weeks I guess. Great video though!
Evening Aaron 😊 I had the 12 Pro Max before my Pixel 6 Pro, it was a good phone the 12 Pro Max, but I didn’t think the camera was that great, though there’s been updates since and photos I’m seeing now look better than what mine did. I’m very happy with my 14 Pro Max, everything about it I love! ❤
I'm on an iphone 12 pro, the pacific blue one and its like one of my favorite colors. Curious about the new purple color on the 14 pro though, it looks gorgeous too!
Great video as always Aaron! The 12 Pro in my opinion is still a great phone in 2022 with good battery as well. Next make a comparison with an iPhone 12 and iPhone 14
8:15 focus issues on 12 Pro with close ups unfortunately since Apple dumbed the software, my old SE was able to do closer shots then the 12 PRO... with 1 lens
I had a 12 Pro Max 512Gb that I was happy with and I did not plan to upgrade in the lead up to the 14 Pro announcement. But once I saw the always on display, the brighter screen with Pro Motion, the satellite connectivity, crash detection, and especially the Dynamic Island I saw the value in the upgrade. My carrier gave me a generous trade in for my 12 Pro Max which pushed me over the edge and I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max 512Gb in purple. I love the new phone and I’m very glad I upgraded.
I have 12 Pro Pacific blue with 128 GB and was thinking about upgrading to 14 Pro 256 GB but now I’m not sure what to do… Some of the pics looked better with 12 Pro …
I just got a 12 pro. I did get to use the 14 pro max. I won’t lie. If u are a medium user the 12 pro is fine for another couple of years. If u r a much heavier user u might upgrade. But I say this just for the battery because the photos on my 12 pro looks pretty good to me but so far I didn’t get a chance to test it much. And if u need cinematic mode(I don’t. The 4K 60 fps is very good)
Damn… I have the 14 Pro but for some reason I prefer the look of the pictures from the 12 Pro. I still tell my sister to take pictures with her phone over mine. She has the 12 Pro. 😂
Purchased a 12 pro 256 Pacific Blue used excellent condition for $500. This was half the price of any 14 pro 256 I could find and a 13 pro 256 used were $700 Moving from a XS Max the 12 pro should be a noticeable upgrade
I moved up from a 12 pro to a 14 pro and chose to keep my 12 pro as a back up. The only thing that is significant in my opinion is the camera system. If you take pictures in very low light conditions or zoom is important to you, the 14 pro is a worthwhile upgrade. The 14 pro shows it capability in fringe lighting and enhanced zoom capabilities. Of course, the battery life is a significant plus.
That’s my thought, having the 13 pro myself. For most, I think with either having the 12 or 13, the jump in what the 15 might bring will be a better one.
Thank you for this comparison I was think about switching to the iPhone 14 pro and I have the 12 pro thank you so much for this very detailed review I have now orderd the iPhone 14 pro thanks to you! Keep up the great work and videos!
Despite the fact the iPhone 14 pro is better in every aspect, I still love the design of the iPhone 12 pro, the camera lens on the 14pros are simply too big...
Chilling over here on my 12 pro and loving it. The new features look great but my use case doesn’t justify the upgrade now. Perhaps in a gen or two. I remember people talking about smart phones beginning to peak in the past few years and definitely feel this is the case. Perhaps I’ll feel differently with a new phone but I dunno
I traded in my pacific blue 128 GB 12 Pro Max for my current gold 512 GB 14 Pro Max. And except for the fact I wish the 14 Pro Max series came in some kind of blue option I absolutely do not regret the upgrade. Love this phone.
The problem I find since the release of the 14 Pro is down to software support for the dynamic island. I find a lot of apps end up showing things behind the island which can be very annoying. But I believe there is similar issues with Android and their hole punch notch. But you currently can’t beat the camera advantages with the 14
I could see why there isn’t a significant sense of a speed increase. I upgraded my iPhone X to the 14 Pro and wow have a gone to life in the fast lane 😉. I definitely enjoy the always on technology. So far I am impressed.
Wow nice touch about the mirrored screens/icon arrangement. So pro! :) Also there is big difference in RAM. Yes, both are 6GB, but 12 Pro is old LPDDR4X vs LPDDR5 in 14 Pro.
I think upgrading from iPhone 13 Pro to 14 Pro is worthwhile, let alone from 12 Pro to 14 Pro, but if you want to save money, I recommend going from 12 Pro to 13 Pro.
I'm using 12pro from last year! It's great! But I love photography too. So Should I go for the 14pro or wait until 15series to come? Please suggest me.
Went to a 13 Pro Max from the iPhone 11. Had a 6 Plus before the 11 and decided to go big again. I often skip a generation so if I do upgrade it will likely be the 15. However, I am very satisfied with my 13 Pro Max. As I said when I first purchaed it, it was the best iPhone Apple had made.
I am in process tu buy a 12 pro. It is 650 Euros (refurbished by a professional, with two years guarantee). 14 pro is around 1300 Euros. Based on this big price difference, the fact that my iPhone 11 is still selling well (350 Euros) and the rumour that dynamic island might be just an experiment, I prefer the 12 pro for now.
My 12pro is still strong with 93% battery life. My 30-month contract ends in 4months. After my iphone is paid off ill wait another 6months for the iphone 15 pro max ultra. Im not in a hurry for the 14pro. By the way i upgraded from the iphone 7 pluse witch i had for 4years with 78% battery life before i upgraded to the iphone 12 pro. So ill wait till the iphone 15 pro ultra lol
To get decent screen on time on my 12 Pro with 88% battery health, I had to go into Siri and Search, and switch off every single switch, on every single app, as well as turn off “Hey Siri.”
@X It’s saving a lot of battery for me, especially when my phone is idle in my pocket for hours. Next I’m going to apply the tips from the guys on the “Pay it Forward” channel and shut of as many loction based system services as I can.
Alongside the iPhone 14 Pro models being the first iPhone model to feature the new type of the cutout display called "Dynamic Island", the lower-priced iPhone 14 models might be the final iPhone models to feature the notched display (since the iPhone X introduced in 2017) before coming in the late 2023 for the unveil of it's flagship successor.
One of the baddest reviewers ever. Such a good job compartmentalizing comparisons and providing amazing detail. Helped me make a decision and feel confident in it due to concise information and points to consider. Amazing, thanks.
I’m waiting for the 12 pro vs 15 pro comparison great video

Hey, I bought my Iphone 14 pro in February.. I've had it for a while now and I'm ok satisfied. The only problem is the maximum capacity, mine is at 90% after 7 - 8 months.. otherwise it's really damn nice to have!
I’m still using my iPhone 12pro max perfectly fine. Saw no reason to upgrade the phone even looks the same. Anything I saw someone upgrades from the 12 to a 13 or 14 I laugh. The speed difference is so minor is not worth the upgrade or the price That’s because cellphone’s especially apple phones are reaching they max capacity and performance.I skipped both the 13 and 14. Let’s see what apple does with the 15.
I upgraded from iphone 7 to 12 pro and its a great leap from the 7. I am satisfied with 12 pro pacific blue. I might buy new iphone when iphone 17 or 18 comes
This tutorial was explained so informatively but I’m still confused as to what I want…I have the 12 pro and I wanted the 14 pro but can’t really see a reason for an upgrade, besides I’ve always wanted a larger screen also!! Thanks for the information!! Keep the reviews coming!!
didnt hear the sound difference much when you played audio, but deff noticed it when you were testing the video, and the 12 did sound more full and rich, nicer sound.
Personally think the dynamic island looks to be in a rubbish place why didn’t they just keep it in the same place, I am sure you could still get the same effect. To me if I had the 12 pro I would stick with it
I like my new 14 Pro Max a whole lot better than my old 12 Pro Max, my top 3 features are the power on & off sounds (even though power off sound is NOT working on 16.2 Beta 1), the dynamic island (which I used last night to follow the score of the Major League Baseball world series game), & finally a larger battery than the 12 Pro Max!
How big is the difference of battery life between the two??? Coz i have 12PM as well and have just ordered 14PM and will be coming in 3-4 weeks lol, so yeah i just wanted to know
Hi, this is Joe just update my Apple Watch and one thing is after you’re done charging it you don’t have to turn it on you hit the power button just for a second and your time will be displayed on a watch even if the power is off and I want you to mention that when you update or doing next iOS update on the watch watch
What iPhone or phone are using using and switching to next? Thanks for watching, it is always appreciated.
I’m using the iPhone 12 mini and would like to switch to the iPhone 13 mini
i am using vivo v9 gold chain ring on camera and i love my phone but i want to upgrade to iphone 14 pro max but its expensive😊
so i will buy when i get well government job😊
i have 14pro max the best
iPhone 13. It’s amazing!
I had the iPhone X. I always upgrade after three years. iPhone 16 is next:)
iPhone 13 Pro. I've had it since release day, of last year. It's been a great experience. I usually upgrade every year, but I'll stick with my 13 Pro, for a couple more generations.
Holding on to my 12 Pro for now… I seriously love the Pacific Blue shade my phone has and I hope Apple brings this color back.
I honestly love the sierra blue more
The blue is back with the iPhone 15 pro
I upgraded from 12 Pro to 14 Pro Max, both for screen size and battery life. I find that I do really like the dynamic island feature, upgraded cameras and brighter screen, other than that, very similar experience from 12 to 14.
12 to 14PM. Huge difference. Even just stability wise (probably due to ram)
What about battery
To my eyes, the cameras are not that different, sometimes, the 12’s photos are even better than the 14’s
I said the same thing
I agree! A lot of people don’t seem to talk about this enough.
Funny enough I said the same thing when I switched from my Xr to me 12 pro, every now and again it just looks a bit more crisp
wow seeing the camera bumps side by side really showed how much apple is focusing on the camera
and that is good...hopefully one day they will have a camera pro version...
@@jetsonjoe They already have: iPhone Pro lineup
Yeah but in the wrong direction in many ways... it already started with the 12 series but especially with the 13 Apple is taking it WAY too far with their oversharpening and noise elimination (it's not even "reduction" anymore). It destroys more than it helps more often than not.

Cap, the display is miles better also and the 12 pro overheats alot.
I agree, the 12 pro will still be great for years too
Thank you! This made me feel great about my 12 pro, Honestly, I really love this phone. The only downside is the battery life but I absolutely love this phone.
what's the battery difference?

I stayed with the 12 Pro as I didn't see a big enough difference for the price to upgrade. Thx for your terrific videos!
I had the 12 Pro and upgraded to 14 Pro for: ProMotion, Space Black, Face ID in landscape and the dynamic Island. Prefer the island over the notch.
Space black is the best
Face ID in landscape works on all the phones with iOS 16

I went from the 12 pro max to 14 pro max and I love having the dynamic island and 120hz display! Feels so much faster.
120hz is the biggest diff for me. Bucnh of other nice stuff too tho. Love the 48mp cam raw photos
What are you going to do with the time that you won? 😆
I’d 100% go for the 14 Pro for the 120Hz and the much better cameras. Got the 14 Pro and been using the macro mode quite a bit!

Exactly there’s no reason it’s gonna be supported for 5 years it’s only been 2 Soo it’s coo

Great video as always Aaron! The 12 Pro in my opinion is still a great phone in 2022 with good battery as well. Next make a comparison with an iPhone 12 and iPhone 14
8:15 focus issues on 12 Pro with close ups unfortunately since Apple dumbed the software, my old SE was able to do closer shots then the 12 PRO... with 1 lens
I had a 12 Pro Max 512Gb that I was happy with and I did not plan to upgrade in the lead up to the 14 Pro announcement. But once I saw the always on display, the brighter screen with Pro Motion, the satellite connectivity, crash detection, and especially the Dynamic Island I saw the value in the upgrade. My carrier gave me a generous trade in for my 12 Pro Max which pushed me over the edge and I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max 512Gb in purple. I love the new phone and I’m very glad I upgraded.
Was it worth it 😮
@@LouisLuzuka Yes
@@Shundave should I upgrade or save money I have a se2020 but I want to enjoy life ☺️
@@LouisLuzuka I can’t say for you. The new phone is great. My wife has an SE2020 and loves it. Do what works for you (and your budget).
@@Shundave you’re right about that
I have 12 Pro Pacific blue with 128 GB and was thinking about upgrading to 14 Pro 256 GB but now I’m not sure what to do… Some of the pics looked better with 12 Pro …
I say 14 pro for display and battery life alone…cameras are miles better also.
Save your money unless you have it to burn
I just got a 12 pro. I did get to use the 14 pro max. I won’t lie. If u are a medium user the 12 pro is fine for another couple of years. If u r a much heavier user u might upgrade. But I say this just for the battery because the photos on my 12 pro looks pretty good to me but so far I didn’t get a chance to test it much. And if u need cinematic mode(I don’t. The 4K 60 fps is very good)
Been waiting for this one.
Damn… I have the 14 Pro but for some reason I prefer the look of the pictures from the 12 Pro. I still tell my sister to take pictures with her phone over mine. She has the 12 Pro. 😂
We don’t have enough data for the software to be useful it’ll be awhile
@@thedriver3052 what
Wow I honestly didn't realize that the camera array literally doubled in size on the 14. No wonder it's so heavy.
Purchased a 12 pro 256 Pacific Blue used excellent condition for $500. This was half the price of any 14 pro 256 I could find and a 13 pro 256 used were $700
Moving from a XS Max the 12 pro should be a noticeable upgrade
I moved up from a 12 pro to a 14 pro and chose to keep my 12 pro as a back up. The only thing that is significant in my opinion is the camera system. If you take pictures in very low light conditions or zoom is important to you, the 14 pro is a worthwhile upgrade. The 14 pro shows it capability in fringe lighting and enhanced zoom capabilities. Of course, the battery life is a significant plus.
I’m still on my 12 pro max. Can’t see the upgrade to the 13 to 14.
That’s my thought, having the 13 pro myself. For most, I think with either having the 12 or 13, the jump in what the 15 might bring will be a better one.
Omg thank you sooooo much for this video!!!!
Thank you for this comparison I was think about switching to the iPhone 14 pro and I have the 12 pro thank you so much for this very detailed review I have now orderd the iPhone 14 pro thanks to you! Keep up the great work and videos!
Many thanks. Upgrading my iPhone SE 2020 to one of the two for photography. Info was very very helpful. I’ll shop around and see.
Taking the middle: 13 Pro Max 🤷🏻♂️
Despite the fact the iPhone 14 pro is better in every aspect, I still love the design of the iPhone 12 pro, the camera lens on the 14pros are simply too big...
Chilling over here on my 12 pro and loving it. The new features look great but my use case doesn’t justify the upgrade now. Perhaps in a gen or two.
I remember people talking about smart phones beginning to peak in the past few years and definitely feel this is the case. Perhaps I’ll feel differently with a new phone but I dunno
12 Pro max here, I still wanna get the new one especially that Space Black 😩
Im getting one soon
I traded in my pacific blue 128 GB 12 Pro Max for my current gold 512 GB 14 Pro Max. And except for the fact I wish the 14 Pro Max series came in some kind of blue option I absolutely do not regret the upgrade. Love this phone.
I updated to the 14 pro max last month- love it!
@X 12 pro max
The problem I find since the release of the 14 Pro is down to software support for the dynamic island. I find a lot of apps end up showing things behind the island which can be very annoying. But I believe there is similar issues with Android and their hole punch notch. But you currently can’t beat the camera advantages with the 14
I could see why there isn’t a significant sense of a speed increase. I upgraded my iPhone X to the 14 Pro and wow have a gone to life in the fast lane 😉. I definitely enjoy the always on technology. So far I am impressed.
I went from the regular 12 pro to the 14 pro max and I love it!! I love the battery life and the dynamic island❤
I’m totally in love with my 14 Pro Max, however, I really really miss the Alpine Green Color I had on my 13PM… so much better than the purple I got
I currently have a 2 year old 12 pro that’s at 89% battery health and couldn’t decide wether to get a 12 plus, pro or max. Thanks for the video!
Wow nice touch about the mirrored screens/icon arrangement. So pro! :)
Also there is big difference in RAM. Yes, both are 6GB, but 12 Pro is old LPDDR4X vs LPDDR5 in 14 Pro.
yes 1.5 times faster 👍⚡
I think upgrading from iPhone 13 Pro to 14 Pro is worthwhile, let alone from 12 Pro to 14 Pro, but if you want to save money, I recommend going from 12 Pro to 13 Pro.
13 pro to 14 pro only makes sense if you need camera
@@prithvim7 it still doesn’t make sense cause 13 pro camera is amazing
@@prithvim7 The cameras are the same.. except 48mp (raw) photos. I use and compared both.
@CJJK 😂🎯
@@ceddiexd its not a big difference, and the max nits only works with auto brightness on.. that I hate.
This is such an awesome video! Great job with this! 😄
I'm using 12pro from last year! It's great! But I love photography too. So Should I go for the 14pro or wait until 15series to come? Please suggest me.
Thanks…I enjoyed your video. Blessings on your day 👍🏻
Not bad having 90% Capacity after 2 years of use. It probably wasn’t ever fast charged 😎
I’ve been fast charging my 12 pro for 2 years and have 88 percent
@@bennyblunto973 are you me?
My mum has an Iphone 11 for 2 years and the battery capacity is 99% lmao
I have the iPhone XS since 2018, got it on release day! And battery health is 79% lol it’s bad🤣
my XS max from 2018 is at 89 percent on slow charge. My iphone 12 pro max in one and a half years is down to 85%with the fast charger
Went to a 13 Pro Max from the iPhone 11. Had a 6 Plus before the 11 and decided to go big again. I often skip a generation so if I do upgrade it will likely be the 15. However, I am very satisfied with my 13 Pro Max. As I said when I first purchaed it, it was the best iPhone Apple had made.
No, I think that goes to the 11 Pro Max. First iPhone with all day battery life, great processor improvements, and camera improvements
Fab video! Thanks 👍
Thanks for the review, it was very helpful!
I am in process tu buy a 12 pro. It is 650 Euros (refurbished by a professional, with two years guarantee). 14 pro is around 1300 Euros. Based on this big price difference, the fact that my iPhone 11 is still selling well (350 Euros) and the rumour that dynamic island might be just an experiment, I prefer the 12 pro for now.
Iphone 12 sound better with rear camera. I dont know if you’ve compressed the video on 14 pro but sounds way bad in comparison to 12
I’m keeping my current 12 Pro too because I know apple’s super cycle upgrade next year for the 15 Pros/Ultra will be really worth it ✌🏻
This comment didn’t age well lol.
2023 february but Im still thinking theres no reason to switch from i12 pro
My 12pro is still strong with 93% battery life. My 30-month contract ends in 4months. After my iphone is paid off ill wait another 6months for the iphone 15 pro max ultra. Im not in a hurry for the 14pro. By the way i upgraded from the iphone 7 pluse witch i had for 4years with 78% battery life before i upgraded to the iphone 12 pro. So ill wait till the iphone 15 pro ultra lol
To get decent screen on time on my 12 Pro with 88% battery health, I had to go into Siri and Search, and switch off every single switch, on every single app, as well as turn off “Hey Siri.”
@X It’s saving a lot of battery for me, especially when my phone is idle in my pocket for hours. Next I’m going to apply the tips from the guys on the “Pay it Forward” channel and shut of as many loction based system services as I can.
Alongside the iPhone 14 Pro models being the first iPhone model to feature the new type of the cutout display called "Dynamic Island", the lower-priced iPhone 14 models might be the final iPhone models to feature the notched display (since the iPhone X introduced in 2017) before coming in the late 2023 for the unveil of it's flagship successor.
This really shows how each and every iPhone is starting to show smaller increments each time
One of the baddest reviewers ever. Such a good job compartmentalizing comparisons and providing amazing detail. Helped me make a decision and feel confident in it due to concise information and points to consider. Amazing, thanks.
Thanks. At first I thought you were saying it was bad lol. Glad I could help
What did you go for in the end?
I’m waiting for the 12 pro vs 15 pro comparison great video
Hey, I bought my Iphone 14 pro in February.. I've had it for a while now and I'm ok satisfied. The only problem is the maximum capacity, mine is at 90% after 7 - 8 months.. otherwise it's really damn nice to have!
I’m still using my iPhone 12pro max perfectly fine.
Saw no reason to upgrade the phone even looks the same. Anything I saw someone upgrades from the 12 to a 13 or 14 I laugh. The speed difference is so minor is not worth the upgrade or the price That’s because cellphone’s especially apple phones are reaching they max capacity and performance.I skipped both the 13 and 14. Let’s see what apple does with the 15.
I upgraded from iphone 7 to 12 pro and its a great leap from the 7. I am satisfied with 12 pro pacific blue. I might buy new iphone when iphone 17 or 18 comes
iphone 12 pro max still very good. no need to upgrade nothing much changed lol
This tutorial was explained so informatively but I’m still confused as to what I want…I have the 12 pro and I wanted the 14 pro but can’t really see a reason for an upgrade, besides I’ve always wanted a larger screen also!! Thanks for the information!! Keep the reviews coming!!
If considering a bigger screen, I would say buy an iPhone which is a pro max
didnt hear the sound difference much when you played audio, but deff noticed it when you were testing the video, and the 12 did sound more full and rich, nicer sound.
Many thanks. 👍🏻
EXPECT CAMERA DEPARTMENT THE NORMAL PERFORMANCES SEEMS PRETTY IDENTICAL WHEN IT COMES TO DAILY TASK
Personally think the dynamic island looks to be in a rubbish place why didn’t they just keep it in the same place, I am sure you could still get the same effect. To me if I had the 12 pro I would stick with it
Just got the 12 today. Its great :)
I like my new 14 Pro Max a whole lot better than my old 12 Pro Max, my top 3 features are the power on & off sounds (even though power off sound is NOT working on 16.2 Beta 1), the dynamic island (which I used last night to follow the score of the Major League Baseball world series game), & finally a larger battery than the 12 Pro Max!
How big is the difference of battery life between the two??? Coz i have 12PM as well and have just ordered 14PM and will be coming in 3-4 weeks lol, so yeah i just wanted to know
@@bigsur370 Battery life on the 14 Pro Max is a whole lot better than it is on the 12 Pro Max!
0:59 now I feel special 😂
Hello Zollotech. I use an iPhone XS Max with 256gb my problem is that my iPhone system data has take 180gb of my storage. Please help me sort this out
0:13 lenses on 12 pro just got bigger suddenly?
It's just reflection on the chrome element surrounding the cameras
Hi, this is Joe just update my Apple Watch and one thing is after you’re done charging it you don’t have to turn it on you hit the power button just for a second and your time will be displayed on a watch even if the power is off and I want you to mention that when you update or doing next iOS update on the watch watch
