Qualities of iPhone 12 Pro Max
The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max costs 1,249 to 1,599 euros which I'd say is a fair price tag considering the general feature of the phone. It comes with a shiny frame made of stainless steel and a matt back made of glass.
For its physical look, It is a 6.7-inch smartphone, with rounded edges and weighs 228 grams. Its angular design is the major standout in the iPhone 12 pro max.
FANTASTIC DISPLAY WITH ONE DOWNSIDE
With a resolution of 1,284 x 2,778 pixels, and a pixel density of 458 ppi, not doubt about the quality of the iPhone 12 pro max in terms of display. The screen brightness control works with a sensor and also has night shift which works automatically. The latest IOS 13 also has dark mode integrated as part of the system.
The display of the iPhone 12 Pro Max
In order to better protect the screen against breakage, Apple relies on a newly developed glass. This technology called "Ceramic Shield" was developed together with Corning, the manufacturer behind Gorilla Glass. The display of the iPhone 12 Pro Max should withstand falls from a height of up to 2 meters. Before it was 1.6 meters. Conventional Gorilla Glass is still used on the back.
APPLE IPHONE 12 PRO MAX IN THE TEST: THE HARDWARE
Apple iPhone hardware are usually difficlut to compare with other smart phones. Taking battery as a case study, it is known by many that iPhone battery are not the best in the market but its runtime can be convincing.
The general performances of iPhone 12 Pro Max are great considering its A14 processor and its reaction in tight situations. A staggering 6GB RAM is also one of its major feature.
5G Network- BUT WITH RESTRICTIONS
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is enabled with 5G network but comes with a certain restriction. The restriction is that 5G network isn't switched on permanently on the iPhone 12 Pro. It is only switched on in an area with 5G coverage or when you're downloading large volume of files.
However, you can choose to switch it on permanently in the network settings. Simply deactivate the automatic switch.
THREE CAMERAS AND AN EXCLUSIVE FEATURE FOR THE IPHONE 12 PRO MAX
The latest Apple iPhone which include the 12 pro max has one of the best camaras. It comes with three cameras that aid smooth realistic capturing of photos and videos.
The camera modules at a glance
Standard camera: 12 megapixels, aperture ƒ / 1.6, sensor image stabilization
Ultra wide angle camera: 12 megapixels, aperture ƒ / 2.4,
Telecamera: 12 megapixels, aperture ƒ / 2.2, OIS, 2.5x zoom
No doubt about the image quality you'l get from an iPhone 12 pro max camera.
Pictures are sharp, have great colors and can also score with a little depth. With the additional ultra-wide-angle and telephoto zoom lenses, all important setting options are offered.
IPHONE 12 PRO MAX: BATTERY LIFE AND CHARGING
iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by a 3,669mAh battery and comes with 20W fast charging as well as 15 watts for wireless charging. In my opinion, the battery size is too small compared to other latest smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S21 or the Xiaomi Mi 11.
However, the battery consumption when it on standby is nice. This is due to its energy saving processor and its optimized operating system.
