I honestly believe the 7 to be one of the most perfect iPhones ever made. It’s A10 processor and refined body initially seemed underwhelming at the time, but almost half decade later, look at all the people who are still running it with their 1st gen AirPods.

But when it comes to information and actually making a decision... there is no one doing it better than Rene ! Simple, precise,informative. Hopefully our path will cross one day again in an Apple Store. Cheers Rene ! Excellent video as always
I found Marques’ initial review a little surprising really. I wonder if he will change his mind about the camera after using it more. Everyone else is raving about it but he was definitely underwhelmed and I watched his first too 👊🏻
@@Richard_Barnes maybe but if I’m being honest I seen a lot of early pro Max camera test so far aren’t overly impressive (over the 12/12pro) obviously the iPhone pics and video are downright amazing but like Rene mentioned I think for the Pro models Apple need to upgrade the optical zoom for the telephoto camera. But I’m very satisfied with my 12
Thank you so much for all the comparisons to the older plus models. I’m upgrading from an 8 plus and have been stressed the Pro Max would be way too big and have scowered the internet for answers. So helpful!
Rene, I enjoy your videos and reviews! Thank you for pointing out that the iPhone 12 Pro Max is really not much bigger than the iPhone 11Pro Max. In fact the difference in size is minuscule.. I’m so tired of people saying, “Oh this thing is HUGE”!” It’s not! The other thing I want to point out is that many iPhone users (regardless of phone size or model) are TWO HANDED USERS. I have owned every iPhone model since the iPhone 3G.... I have never used a single hand to operate my iPhone. There are lots, and I mean LOTS of two handed users... it’s something I take note of when watching other people use their phones.
Nice video. I preordered the iPhone 12 Pro Max and is due for delivery this week and can’t wait. Perfect upgrade for me as had the iPhone X for the last 3 years.
Rene... PLEASE keep dropping the deep cut "Princess Bride," quotes. The personal flair you add to your reviews help them stand out from the crowd and is one of the many reasons I've trusted your opinion for years. I would definitely list that as one of your assets in the first place.
Anyone else upgrading from the iPhone X? As a photographer, I'm so excited for my 12 Pro Max to come in so I can put these big boi cameras to the test myself
I have an iPhone X. I have been waiting for the Pro Max videos to drop so that I could decide which direction to go. Not sure I have made up my mind yet.
An iPhone 11 Pro Max owner hoping someone would say an upgrade to this is a big yes, but every vlog I’ve watched I’ve realised it’s common sense to stay with the already amazing phone I have. This vlog nailed that. Thank you 👍
It is so refreshing to see a review that doesn't exaggerate the size of the 12 Pro Max. Yes, its technically large than the 11 Pro Max, but the 12 Pro Max doesn't deserve this, "OMG ITS HUGE". Stop it! Thanks Rene for your review style. I'm a fan.
I really can't wait for my phone to get delivered now that I'm binge watching all the Pro Max reviews. I haven't upgraded my phone for a long time and the time has come. My big oops is I ended up pre ordering the 512gb Pro Max, but I'm using this phone to edit my action videos.
@@lavontelorick7659 512 is a lot... And if you’re taking that many photos/videos you should be familiar with external drives...I’d say get 256gb and save that $200, and later buy a $100 500gb SSD for photos/videos boom 756gb of storage and $100 saved
@@lavontelorick7659 Depends if you're transferring videos onto your phone from your cameras. I have a GoPro and Insta360, and the videos are 4k, so they tend to be around 30gb every time I download them to my phone.
3:42 I’m glad you showed the 6 plus. I used to have that phone before going to the X. It’s a good reference to me cause I’m getting the Max this Friday 😁
I absolutely LOVE my iPhone 12 Pro Max, best phone I’ve ever had! My only complaint is it’s so heavy! Laying in bed looking at it, you get nervous.. You know if it falls and smacks your face, you’re either getting a blackeye or a bloody nose..
I upgraded from the 11 Pro Max to the 12 Pro because I often found the dimensions of the Max to be unwieldy. I have both an iPad Pro and the new M1 Air, so I'm covered for large screens. I need my phone to be easily one-handable, and ease of slipping in and out of pockets is crucial as well.
Every year I hear tech reviewer talk about one handed functionality but at a pro max and plus size phone user, this has never concerned me. I’m mostly able to do things with one hand but when/if I can’t do something one handed, using 2 hands is second nature at this point. People who are buying plus sized phones I think already know this. I don’t think there’s anybody out there who wants to know if you can use these phones one handed. They either get the smaller-mid sized phones because they just don’t want a big phone in their pocket or they do. Even when plus sized phones first started coming out for Apple at the 6 plus. I guess back then it would’ve been nice to know but for the most part over the past 4 or 5 years, phones have kept the same form factor.
Thank you! Finally someone who doesn't say the Pro Max is huge! It is only a smidge taller when compared to the older version! This year, I'm going back to the Pro Max size because of the camera. Wished Apple didn't make that difference in the camera because I like the Pro size iPhone.
Decided to purchase the Pro Max after watching all of your iPhone 12 videos. Now I have the Pro Max, I couldn’t be even more happier with my decision! Thank you!
Thank you!! Easily the best ProMax 12 review I’ve seen and, yes, I did get a subscription to Curiosity. I’d love to see you do a SERIES of vids talking about photography and those “small nerdy things”. You’re an excellent speaker and very engaging, you explain and transfer knowledge quite well. It’d be great to learn / discuss photography on the 12 ProMax with you AND I think that’s a niche yet to be filled here that could drive more folks to your site Thanks Again, best of luck!
I need clear sharp videos in a dark environment My iPhone 6s is disappointing as it’s not very sharp and looks noisy Wondering if the 12 pro max is so good it will give me pro looking videos
My God, this may be the best produced video on RUclips! Fantastic from quality of the video, to the shots, to the language, man everything is too notch! I need to learn from you!
Absolutely brilliant review, thank you Rene. It's very clear that you did a ton of work on this. I also appreciated you advising users to keep their phones for as long as they are able or as long as they need to, unlike others pushing people to just go out and buy stuff. Thank you, keep up the fantastic work!
Why do you think Apple decided not to use 120 Hz displays? Do you think it’s solely for the purpose that when the new iPhone comes out whether it’s called the 13 or the 12 ass they will have an upgrade feature?
Based on your experience so far, do you think its worth shooting in 10 bit all of the time and working with the color for daily youtube uploading? Or does the benefit not really outweigh the file size/time needed to work with the color?
I Pre Ordered this iPhone 12 Pro Max. Im so excited going from a iPhone 8 Plus lol. My whole family has the iPhone 11 Pro Max. My iPhone comes in Friday 😊 Great Video 🤝
I am on an iPhone 6s. Can’t wait to buy the Max! The iPhone 6s did an awesome job but it’s finally time to upgrade. I hope the Max will get me trough the next 3-4 years. I’m hyped! :-)
This is the first video i've watched from you, and i got really impressed by your quality within the first seconds. :) Keep the great content up, subscribed. :)
Reachability mode - start the swipe down inside the bottom dock area and in between app icons. If you do this it works every time. 😂 (you were swiping the screen so got search mode) Also /me - runs to find a potato................ Random question of the day - do you remember and did you use ICQ? I loved that. 😆
Rene, could you do a video that explains the big problem so many of us are having with using Dolby vision on our iPhone 12s? Here’s the confusion, and there are several points of confusion: 1. If we film in Dolby, edit it properly in FCPX, export it as a master file, and upload the master to RUclips, have not we just lost the Dolby quality since RUclips probably converts it to HDR10? 2. If we want to film in HDR and not Dolby, how do we do that in settings on the iPhone 12 Pro Max since shutting off HDR (the Dolby option?) puts you back in SDR? 3. What if I want to shoot in HDR, 1080p, 30 fps, but not Dolby? If I shut off Dolby, doesn’t that put me in the dreaded SDR? Help please.
Hey mate. How are people getting such great battery life? I would say mine is beyond average. 12 pro max, 1 week old getting 6hrs sot with 9hrs off the charger. I’ve had apple run a diagnostic test and come back all good. I run no auto brightness and have it manually set to half or under. Spend majority of my time on RUclips and socials. Thought these phones were meant to get upto 14hrs sot
Really appreciate you comparing the size with all the previous iphone. I have xs max, upgraded from 7plus and I’m getting the 12 Pro Max. I was kinda worried that it’s gonna be too big after watching some reviews, but after your video I think I’ll be fine with the size. I liked the size of 7plus in my hands more than XS Max size.
Depends on what you are going to us it for and most importantly your budget. If you plan on keeping the phone for a long time and plan on taking a lot of photos and videos than 512 GB might be worth it if you can afford it. Go Gold if you like flashy and cool, go Graphite if you want something more laidback and classic. Pacific Blue and Silver are also good options too.
Tech nerds make a big deal about names too much. Everyone else knows it's iPhone 12. You don't need to say the size. White shirt 2XL, black jeans 32 waste 32 long, 3XL coat, XL cap, size 12 air jordan 11, 65" LG OLED tv, 5 bedroom 3 bathroom house , 2 bedroom 2 bathroom second floor apartment
Have you had any over heating issues? Today I got a temperature warning that blocked me from using my phone for around 2 minutes. Contacted Apple support and they told me it could be the case. The Apple MagSafe case! iPhone 12 pro max.
You know your stuff so i want your opinion rene. I have the xs max. My fiancee has the 8 plus. Im thinking of giving her mine and upgrading. I dont use my phone for alot, social media and the odd photo and video of my children. Do you think the base 12 would be an ok upgrade or is it not worth upgrading to from my phone?
I still use and like the iphone 6s plus inspite of the upgrades coming all these years. It has a sleek thin design and has a button at the bottom, to get the feel. It has large screen, the camera is good, has long life battery. I do like the iphone12 pro max, due to similar large screen size , the new pacific blue color and the 5G network, but you need to ask yourself a question, DO YOU REALLY NEED THE UPGRADE against your previous upgrade by spending 1000$ if the previous one is pretty good enough ? Upgrades always come in future years be it a smartphone, TV or a car. If you really need the upgrade then ONLY one should consider buying it. I am surprised the iphone 12 or iphone 12 pro does not come with ear pods or a charger. But nevertheless if one really needs an upgrade then should go for it, otherwise previous upgrades are also quite good.
Thank you for this MEGA (indeed) and extensive review. A lot of videos I’ve seen talk about the camera - and just the camera. You talked a lot about the camera and a whole lot more. I was worried that the Max would be too big but you put it in perspective. I currently have the 7 Plus and thought about just going pro, but after watching your review it made me feel better about ordering my Pro Max. Thank you!
Couple of errors. 1) The memory / cost table showed the 64/128/256 for all 4 iPhone 12 models when it should be 128/256/512 for pro models. 2) Comparing battery life to iPhone 12 pro you say you’re consistently getting less with the iPhone 12 pro max, where I think you mean 12 pro? Hey.....you got a hugely impressive review out in no time at all, which is fantastic. I’ve never had a max before, last phone was iPhone 11.......looking forward to seeing if I can handle a big one this Friday when my 128 blue arrives. Thanks 👌
Love your video. I’m coming from an IPhone XS Max. My 12pro max has a yellow screen color (True Tone off) and not as bright as my 10. I like my XS max better. Just wondering why the change and if I’m missing something. Thanks!
I disagree with the dislikes. But (just get a girlfriend) can be one the most challenging things in life. There are so many girls taken now days. You almost have to win the lottery to get one. Sorry about the rant but just getting one isnt a reality. The other way around though they can get one almost instantly.
Thanks for this video. Best review till now! Loved you mention the 6plus and 7plus, been the only video i heard them. I have a 7plus (4 years of use and still going, will keep it as an accessory for my drone) and will upgrade for sure to the 12promax.
Question: - Could you explain about Apple Care for Iphone 12? - Any good screen protector recommendation that wouldn't change tint of original display color? Thanks.
I enjoy the videos. You really do go into detail, the only thing I would say is you sound a little robotic recently as if you are directly reading your review. I would appreciate it if your reviews were a little more relaxed.
*Excellent* video, Rene (and to all who read this). It simply confirmed my decision. For the extra money, I think the 12 Pro Max offers an enormous number of additional features. My main concern was the size. There is simply no way to interpret the scale without holding the items in one's hand. The 12 pro Max looks gargantuan in online comparisons but is acceptable in person.
I really wanted the 12 Pro Max cameras and battery life. But I have a work XS Max phone and I hate using it because it’s so uncomfortable to handle for long periods of time. I decided to go with the regular iPhone 12 Pro. The cameras on that device seem incredible, even the 2x telephoto. And even it’s battery will be better than my current iPhone X. And like you I’m looking forward to someone coming out with a MagSafe wallet-sized external battery. It’ll make Pokémon GO Community Days so much better than carrying a really big external battery with a wire. Here’s hoping.
Hey Rene! Did you make sure to use Halide or another third party app to make sure that the phone doesn’t just crop the wide camera when you tap 2x? At least in those low light shots??? Recently found out that even on the 12 pro it still does this, as in, night mode isn’t really on the telephoto, night mode is just now enabled when the wide is 2x digital zoomed lol
That size is too big. It’s like a ridiculous brick. If you have an ipad and other multimedia devices I find perfect a 6,1 inches display (normal 12 pro). It’s big enough and confortable to use. At the end it’s a mobile phone and it must be “mobile”. Battery it’s not an issue if you have at least 25-30% at the end of the day (normal 12 pro). I don’t mind if pro-max has 40% at night because anyway I will charge the phone at night in Order to start with 100% battery in the morning
I mentioned this in one of your other pro max vids but I just really want to thank you for mentioning people with vision problems and showing how the zoom looks I always put everything as big as I can I’m on the iPhone 11 but I’m upgrading to the pro max for that reason
I can't decide between the 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max. So thanks for doing this great video showing some of differences and the strong points of the Max.
Simplifying their iPhone name to mini, air, pro and max makes the most sense! I’m sure apple are willing to spend some money on redesigning the graphics on the box to differentiate which year/model number their iPhones are.
Already bought the phone, why am I watching every video on it too 😂

Really appreciate you comparing the size with all the previous iphone. I have xs max, upgraded from 7plus and I’m getting the 12 Pro Max. I was kinda worried that it’s gonna be too big after watching some reviews, but after your video I think I’ll be fine with the size. I liked the size of 7plus in my hands more than XS Max size.
One and ONLY techie I trust on all of RUclips. Thank you for this amazing video. I got my iPhone 12 Pro Max yesterday.
Do you think I should wait for next year iPhone as I was hoping to have Touch ID on the pro max?
Does this phone last at least 12 hours?
Any news about Apple Pencil support or a new Apple stylist for the 12 pro max?
Should I get a 256 or 512 GB? I'm a first time iPhone user I need help? Also gold or black pro max can some one help me please??
Depends on what you are going to us it for and most importantly your budget. If you plan on keeping the phone for a long time and plan on taking a lot of photos and videos than 512 GB might be worth it if you can afford it. Go Gold if you like flashy and cool, go Graphite if you want something more laidback and classic. Pacific Blue and Silver are also good options too.
Tech nerds make a big deal about names too much. Everyone else knows it's iPhone 12. You don't need to say the size. White shirt 2XL, black jeans 32 waste 32 long, 3XL coat, XL cap, size 12 air jordan 11, 65" LG OLED tv, 5 bedroom 3 bathroom house , 2 bedroom 2 bathroom second floor apartment
I upgraded from 11 to 12Pro Max. Is it a good decision ? I hope so
Have you had any over heating issues? Today I got a temperature warning that blocked me from using my phone for around 2 minutes. Contacted Apple support and they told me it could be the case. The Apple MagSafe case! iPhone 12 pro max.
Both pro models start at 128GB storage, not 64
My XR still does everything well and has all day battery life. No plans to upgrade. But the new models do look great.
You know your stuff so i want your opinion rene. I have the xs max. My fiancee has the 8 plus. Im thinking of giving her mine and upgrading. I dont use my phone for alot, social media and the odd photo and video of my children. Do you think the base 12 would be an ok upgrade or is it not worth upgrading to from my phone?
"Iphone 12 pro max Mega" . I thought that was a new top of the line version.
I still use and like the iphone 6s plus inspite of the upgrades coming all these years. It has a sleek thin design and has a button at the bottom, to get the feel. It has large screen, the camera is good, has long life battery. I do like the iphone12 pro max, due to similar large screen size , the new pacific blue color and the 5G network, but you need to ask yourself a question, DO YOU REALLY NEED THE UPGRADE against your previous upgrade by spending 1000$ if the previous one is pretty good enough ? Upgrades always come in future years be it a smartphone, TV or a car. If you really need the upgrade then ONLY one should consider buying it. I am surprised the iphone 12 or iphone 12 pro does not come with ear pods or a charger. But nevertheless if one really needs an upgrade then should go for it, otherwise previous upgrades are also quite good.
Honestly. I love the wall behind you😂😂
Thank you for this MEGA (indeed) and extensive review. A lot of videos I’ve seen talk about the camera - and just the camera. You talked a lot about the camera and a whole lot more. I was worried that the Max would be too big but you put it in perspective. I currently have the 7 Plus and thought about just going pro, but after watching your review it made me feel better about ordering my Pro Max. Thank you!
1:05 incorrect prices. The pro lineup starts with 128 GB, not 64
I was about to comment on that too
I just got his phone , now i can not even get a Christmas tree
I need some
What should i buy the 12 pro max or the 11 pro max 🤷♂️ battery is the most important thinh to me its also my first iPhone ever
Hey I appreciate you doing a quick size impression with the older iphones as well because not everyone is coming straight from the 11.
Are the 12 pro and 12 pro max standard 126gb at the $999 and $1,099 price point?
Couple of errors. 1) The memory / cost table showed the 64/128/256 for all 4 iPhone 12 models when it should be 128/256/512 for pro models. 2) Comparing battery life to iPhone 12 pro you say you’re consistently getting less with the iPhone 12 pro max, where I think you mean 12 pro?
Hey.....you got a hugely impressive review out in no time at all, which is fantastic.
I’ve never had a max before, last phone was iPhone 11.......looking forward to seeing if I can handle a big one this Friday when my 128 blue arrives.
Thanks 👌
still underrated channel
Unbelievable, this level of production is over 9000!
Very glad you physically compared the previous plus models! 👏🏻👏🏻
After watching far too many Pro Max reviews, this is the one.
Your videos are amazing as always.
Max / Macs / my brain is doing double takes thinking “ Did he mean the laptop?”. It’s just so ingrained...
Love your video. I’m coming from an IPhone XS Max. My 12pro max has a yellow screen color (True Tone off) and not as bright as my 10. I like my XS max better. Just wondering why the change and if I’m missing something. Thanks!
How they hell is there a dislike and the video hasn’t been up long enough to watch... jeezus, just get a girlfriend.
lmao fr
🤣😂
I disagree with the dislikes. But (just get a girlfriend) can be one the most challenging things in life. There are so many girls taken now days. You almost have to win the lottery to get one. Sorry about the rant but just getting one isnt a reality. The other way around though they can get one almost instantly.
@@tanneremmers665 you need some hints bro?:)
Lol or a boyfriend
Thanks for this video. Best review till now! Loved you mention the 6plus and 7plus, been the only video i heard them.
I have a 7plus (4 years of use and still going, will keep it as an accessory for my drone) and will upgrade for sure to the 12promax.
Question:
- Could you explain about Apple Care for Iphone 12?
- Any good screen protector recommendation that wouldn't change tint of original display color?
Thanks.
I enjoy the videos. You really do go into detail, the only thing I would say is you sound a little robotic recently as if you are directly reading your review. I would appreciate it if your reviews were a little more relaxed.
*Excellent* video, Rene (and to all who read this). It simply confirmed my decision. For the extra money, I think the 12 Pro Max offers an enormous number of additional features. My main concern was the size. There is simply no way to interpret the scale without holding the items in one's hand. The 12 pro Max looks gargantuan in online comparisons but is acceptable in person.
Ordered, already user of a 11 Pro Max. Rocks!
I really wanted the 12 Pro Max cameras and battery life. But I have a work XS Max phone and I hate using it because it’s so uncomfortable to handle for long periods of time. I decided to go with the regular iPhone 12 Pro. The cameras on that device seem incredible, even the 2x telephoto. And even it’s battery will be better than my current iPhone X. And like you I’m looking forward to someone coming out with a MagSafe wallet-sized external battery. It’ll make Pokémon GO Community Days so much better than carrying a really big external battery with a wire. Here’s hoping.
Hey Rene! Did you make sure to use Halide or another third party app to make sure that the phone doesn’t just crop the wide camera when you tap 2x? At least in those low light shots??? Recently found out that even on the 12 pro it still does this, as in, night mode isn’t really on the telephoto, night mode is just now enabled when the wide is 2x digital zoomed lol
That size is too big. It’s like a ridiculous brick. If you have an ipad and other multimedia devices I find perfect a 6,1 inches display (normal 12 pro). It’s big enough and confortable to use. At the end it’s a mobile phone and it must be “mobile”. Battery it’s not an issue if you have at least 25-30% at the end of the day (normal 12 pro). I don’t mind if pro-max has 40% at night because anyway I will charge the phone at night in Order to start with 100% battery in the morning
I mentioned this in one of your other pro max vids but I just really want to thank you for mentioning people with vision problems and showing how the zoom looks I always put everything as big as I can I’m on the iPhone 11 but I’m upgrading to the pro max for that reason
I can't decide between the 12 Pro and the 12 Pro Max. So thanks for doing this great video showing some of differences and the strong points of the Max.
Thanks Rene. Doing Canada proud. I'm jumping up from a 7s to the 12Max. Arrives Friday.
Simplifying their iPhone name to mini, air, pro and max makes the most sense! I’m sure apple are willing to spend some money on redesigning the graphics on the box to differentiate which year/model number their iPhones are.
No I don’t need to upgrade from my 11 pro max but they went back to the 4/5 design and that was the best design smart phone ever!
Did you use the iPhone 12 Pro Max to shoot this video? If not, why not and what camera did you use?
Rene ya need to put that on a tshirt “ finger-jitsu” 🤣🤣🤣
I can see this has a lot of work put into. You earned your self a well deserved big ass subscription, a like, and i saved the videos to watch later.
