Thank you, exactly what I needed - side by side comparison and you are not yelling at me. 🙏🏻👍🏽

[minibuns]

That was a straight forward review. Thank you!

[FeeBuckLee]

This is exactly what I wanted to know. It was efficient and told me all of the details I was curious about. Thank you.

[bernios]

Ha! Good "No BS" comparision. I came to the same conclusion and bought the 12 pro. Pro Max just too big also...

[chasingquality]

This is exactly what I needed. I don't want the extra size of the max, but I was undecided because of the purported camera advantages over the 12 Pro. Excellent comparison!

[LukaEST]

Thanks! I have been waiting for this. Video stabilization appeared to look better on 12 Pro, maybe.

[aznzensation]

If the 13's are gonna have this subtle difference then I am gonna settle for the Pro (coming from an S8+ 🤣)

[topnee]

I've been looking for this test. Great review.

[Aaron-lxgz]

The Pro Max advantages weren’t even tested. Sensor Shift and Larger Sensor are about handheld sharpness of photos especially in lower light modes. Good review. But tripod shots aren’t real world for average users and don’t take full advantage of the Pro Max’s capabilities.

I just returned my Pro Max and got iPhone 12 Pro. Max is too big; doesn’t fit in back pocket . Thank you for your review.

[JohnCarlC]

I agree with the video - the camera difference is minimal and doesn’t justify switching to the max size.

In your opinion, do you believe Apple will settle on a size for their flagships or will we see 7 in. Pro Max models and 6.3-6.5 Pro models? I personally feel 6.3 screen size will be the limit for me.

[TheSkyHighFilms]

Thank you! This was extremely helpful!

[mr.speyside]

The 12 Pro Max is way too big. You’re going from a Honda CR-V to a Chevy Tahoe. It’s a big difference.

[TPdV]

I’ve bought the 12 Pro and noticed that switching within the camera app takes longer than on my former iPhone X... if that’s because it’s beter, I’m fine with that, but is it for that reason? Should it be slower?

[JeremyToh]

The comparison is so so so close! What was Apple thinking? 🤔

[PPYTAO]

The difference is most apparent in low light, and in RAW. Either way they all look amazing. This is a PHONE! We’re spoiled these days haha.

[troublemaker]

For YouTube video making, instagram igtv and reels which would b good ? Pro or pro max ?

[RennieAsh]

I wonder if it will improve in the future or whether it's going to be a case of them keeping it the same

[maximilianovillareal]

I am going to go for the iPhone 12 Pro given that there are other reviews that show that this phone's camera is much superior than the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

[deajonezsbaby]

You have some big beautiful hands. I was thinking which one was the Pro Max
