Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, 128GB, Pacific Blue (Renewed)

Product Information

That’s not to say this is a bad thing – if you’re not buying the 12 Pro Max because you want a massive iPhone, then you’re kind of missing the point. It's surprising Apple didn't make the iPhone deeper to allow for a bigger battery - it wouldn't have felt that different in the hand. (Image credit: TechRadar) The iPhone 12 Pro Max is big. It remains one of the biggest iPhone that Apple’s ever made, if only by a few millimeters. However, as it also has the new squared edges of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro Max, aping the brutal, industrial design of the new iPad Pro range, it feels larger in the hand. After an October 13, 2020 announcement, Apple confirmed that the iPhone 12 Pro Max would be coming a few weeks after launch; while the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro were available on October 23, the company opted to release both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max at a later date.

The display quality is identical on the 12 Pro and Pro Max.

What's Old Is New AgainThe iPhone 12 Pro Max launched running iOS 14 but now supports iOS 15 being the latest version of its software. The videos captured in Dolby Vision have a brighter punch about them, but it can over-expose some areas - if you prefer your movies to be a bit more natural-looking then turning it off can be a good idea (especially if you want to save some storage on your phone, as the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s ability to record movies in 4K HDR at 60 frames per second takes a lot of data. Overall, the iPhone 12 Pro Max's display is a standout feature that offers an immersive viewing experience with improved durability. For those who prioritize a large, high-quality display in their smartphones, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is worth considering. Is the iPhone 12 Pro Max water-resistant? iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro can detect a serious car crash and call for help. Requires a mobile data connection or Wi‑Fi calling.

Apple has also added the innovative MagSafe tech to the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which enables you to magnetically clip chargers, cases and accessories to your new iPhone. We like this addition, and more accessories are appearing all the time right now; MagSafe will only get better as time goes on, and getting the iPhone 12 Pro Max will future-proof you as more accessories appear on the market. Thanks to the thinner bezels around the new iPhone 12 Pro Max display the screen is able to stretch further to the edges of the device, resulting in a 6.7-inch display compared to a 6.5-inch affair on the 11 Pro Max, and it looks really impressive. That extra screen estate is really noticeable next to last year’s phone, and adds to the sense of immersion when watching movies or similar. There's no USB-C on this iPhone – if any was going to have it in 2020, it would be the top-end iPhone 12 Pro Max. (Image credit: TechRadar)

We didn’t test that claim during our review – partly because we don’t want to randomly see if we can smash an expensive phone just to see what happens – but Apple is also claiming the iPhone 12 range is scratch resistant, thanks to a ‘dual ion exchange’ process.
