– I’m Rene Ritchie, and I hear you, I feel you. For the last couple of years, the Pro and Pro MaxiPhones have been identical except in cases of the Max part, the immensity role. But this year, this 2020 of years, the camera’s are different and even the sizedifferences are different. So, if you still can’t decidebetween the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, if you’re still on the fence, if you prefer the regular pro width but want that pro max camera or battery, if you don’t mind large-scale telephones, but perturb the brand-new Max is just too big, but if you too worrythat if you don’t get it, you might just regret it, if you’ve got full on FOMO, YOLO but annoy pro max rate is just the no-go then, wow, but do Ihave the video for you? Exactly sucker punch that subscribe buzzer or I’ll delete your 120 Hertz and then let’s do this.So, I’m actually trying todecide between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 ProMax myself right now. I used to get all the plus sized iPhones but when the iPhone 10 cameout, that was enough for me. I never exited Max , notfor the 10 s or the 11. But now , now that newcamera is calling me back. So I’m gonna use the same video to decide right along with you and I’ll give you my answer at the end. But for right now, let’sstart with the premium. The Max is a $ 100 morethan the Pro and that’s it. For everything we’re gonna go over next, the cost differential is just $ 100 which I understand maybe a lot for some people like 10% more a good deal. Even on a $1000 telephone. But with trade-ins, installments, improve curricula, the difference overthe difference over the course of a year, nevermind several, isn’t gonna be that much. And of course, never , not ever, never waste dime more onethan you can or should.And if you have a hard-bitten restriction, absolutely stick to it. I’m just saying that if youdon’t have any other concerns, like at all, price really isn’t a huge blinkingneon stop sign for the Max. Not once you’ve decidedto go Pro at least. That immensity though, I convey, Apple has alreadymade the Pro bigger it’s full on iPhone1 0r, iPhone 11 like now 5.8 inches to 6.1. So if you’re going Pro at all, you’re going big-hearted and bigger. Not too much bigger though. The flaunt has gonefrom 6.5 inches to 6.7. So it really is the maxiest of Max phones Apple has ever made.Some of that is reduced bezel. Okay, a tiny bit of that. It’s only 0.11 inches tallerbut exclusively 0.01 inches wider. And it’s also 0.03 inches thinner, though, yeah 0.06 ounces heavier. All of that to say, if you were okay with anyof the plus sized iPhones or ever owned or contained theiPhone 10 s or iPhone 11 Max, the iPhone 12 X won’t bethat much of a difference.In information, the biggest difference might just be theeverything old-fashioned is new again squared off design. Because the loss of the iPhone 6 to iPhone 11 curves do oblige the iPhone 12 streaks feel most substantial, grippier. The margins don’t really slip into your hand so much as press into it which some favor andothers truly, truly don’t. And let me know which one ofthose you are in the comments. But either way, if you’recoming from a smaller iPhone not even talking five or original SE but exactly a six or 10 or even 10 R or 11 you wanna be careful aboutconsidering the size.If you’re coming from theplus or the previous Max or yeah, basically any Android phone, this immensity of a Pixel non XL you’ll probably be simply absolutely fine. The colorings: silver, graphite, 18 K golden and Pacific blue are thesame, same, same on both pros. So is the design, the stainless steel antenna bands the matte glass on the back, the ceramic shield on the breast, the notch more the notch, all the same. All just as Pro all justas notch on both of them. Even the exhibitions on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro areidentical in every lane except for size, same Owlet, same HDR high dynamic array, same differ ratio normal max and brightnesslevels, same everything except for the size.With the increased size, you do get a higher pixel count on the iPhone 12 pro max expose, an additional 246 horizontal and 114 horizontal, whichis like half the size of the original iPhone, which is ridiculous.But at today’s pixel countings and densities really isn’t that much at all. And like 10 and six, more than the 11 max probably not even sufficient to introduced any real extra strain on the A 14 bionic microchip fixed. It is physically bigger though which means you can fitslightly more on the screen. If you exactly love yousome information density. Or you can fit the sameamount at a bigger size. Thanks to the display, zoom accessibility aspect which is really, reallyterrific if your eyesight simply needs as much extra as it can get. Even for gaming or watching videos all is only that much bigger. And if this is your primary device, that might be hugely valuable to you. But, it also does aim it will be harder to fit into your pockets. Especially, you a lot outthere wearing what looks just like a hybrid between skinnyhipster jeans and yoga throbs and really 2020, likeeverything else wasn’t enough. And will vary depending on what elseyou carry and how you carry it might also be harder to fit into your crates and jacketsand only all of your things.The iPhone 12 pro isalready a lot of phone. The iPhone 12 max done a lot a lot. In both the best and worst modes. So you’ve got to exactly figureout which acces is why you. Probably the most important difference. The biggest decision makerbetween the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 pro is the camera system. Not 13 millimeter F 2.4, 120 unit ultra wide camera. That shooter is the same on both of them. Same with the LiDAR scanner that allows for fast auto-focus and portrait mode in low glowing and much fasteraugmented reality in daylight. Just again same. The 26 millimeter F 1.6 wide direction is better on the max though, bigger and better with 1.7 micron pixels instead of 1.4. So yeah, plus 0.3 more micron ear, which signifies it can take in more light for betterlow-light performance and the visual image stabilization, the OIS is also sensor shift on the max, which necessitates instead of the lens, exactly hovering to cancelout sensor movement the sensor itself moves, which is mechanically simpler and yeah, better optical character. The 52 millimeter telephotois well not 52 millimeters on the max, it’s 65 millimeters which wants it has even more compression and less bia, which can be really nice on paintings and product shots still a little bit closer to a 50 than an 80, but slightly better in between. And that also means you can step up 2.5 X not just to wet click on Apple’s previoustelephoto camera systems.The downside, insteadof an F 2.0 opening, it’s an F 2.2 aperture, which represents on this camera it actually lets in less glowing. So while the wide angle is just pure, when the telephoto is really moreof a mixed when I trade off if you prefer a 50 millimeterand don’t want to give up precisely any low-pitched lamp performanceat all, you may be happier with the 12 pro instead of the 12 pro max.If you’re all about that2 6 millimeter wide though, then you’re going to beall about that Pro max. The A 14 bionic microchip define are similar in both the iPhone 12 pro and 12 pro max, same building, same IP, same Qualcomm, X 55 modem for fr one low-toned and mid party 5G globallyand fr two high banding millimeter beckon in the U S both have six gigabytes of Ram, which helps keep even the most bloatedsocial networking apps and sports in remembering justmuch, much longer than before. And both go up to 512 gigabytes of storage if you want to pay the premium for it. Where they differ is even though the pro maxhas a bigger display to power and more pixels to push around and maybe a slightlybigger thermal envelope, it also has a biggerbattery to do it with. Bigger enough that Apple paces it for an extra three hoursof neighbourhood video playback and an extra hour of video streaming.Also an additional 15 hours of audio playback and both work with Apple’s brand-new mag safe magneticinductive billing organisation and both still have a lightningport and can fast charge up to 50% in 30 minutes with Apple’s brand-new but not included in thebox 20 watt strength adapter. But the bottom line hereis, bigger is just more, particularly with the regular pro hurting a bit on battery life. Thanks to the brand-new build and specially 5G. The max is still max as in max battery for those who want an iPhone that will just last as longas an iPhone maybe can.And particularly with the newcamera, it’s why I’m personally going to be getting theiPhone 12 max this year. It’s a little extra for me but I precisely miss the bestcamera and supplementing in that bigger battery time makesit the right choice for me. At least for this year, you’ve got to do you though.

I positioned it up right after I cease my big media position back in March right before all of 2020 happened and started this new indie channel.And it’s great because there’s a whole previewsection where I share ideas and summarizes for videosbefore they’re even shot. Sometimes early different versions of the videos before they go live. Longer versions of interviewswhen they’re accessible like forty-five minutes with iJustine or Walt Mossberg or extendedcuts of my reaction videos.
