Editorial report
Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max technical sheet
The iPhone 12 Pro Max suits buyers looking for a large iPhone with a detailed OLED display, broad 5G connectivity and a versatile camera system. Its main trade-offs are the 60 Hz panel, 228 g weight and a 3687 mAh battery with less capacity than most phones of its time.
The display measures 6.7″, reaches 458 ppi and peaks at 1200 nits. Its brightness and pixel density are better than most phones of its time, while the 7.4 mm body is among the thinnest. IP68 protection covers water and dust resistance. The 60 Hz refresh rate, however, is worse than most phones of its time.
The Apple A14 Bionic scores 1,336,383 in AnTuTu and is among the most powerful chips of its time. This version has 6 GB / 128 GB, while the phone is sold from 6 GB / 128 GB to 6 GB / 512 GB; storage cannot be expanded. The main camera combines 12 MP, an f/1.6 aperture, optical stabilization and 4K video, while the telephoto camera adds 2.5x optical zoom. Its 5G coverage across many cellular bands is among the best of its time. Charging reaches 20 W by cable and 15 W wirelessly.
Overall, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is better than most phones of its time and earns a NeoScore of 6.4. It suits buyers prioritizing cameras, connectivity and a large display, provided they accept a heavy phone, 60 Hz and modest battery capacity.
