Pumped for this one. I have the iPhone 11 (non Pro Max). Did you just say what's in the box hahaha... damn film makers throwing in these one-liners! Yeah, you better stop knocking over that there iPhone 12 Pro Max! Love those outtakes and how you chugged that drink like Napoleon Dynamite!!

You want to know if the footage is cell phone like or crossing that threshold. I think it looked damn good! I mean. Think about it and the punch that it packs. Cell phone, mini tablet, great camera for whatever you need. The lighting looked great... colors were vivid. How much editing/color correcting did it take to pull this off? Hey, I have to add that I liked the free spirited feel in this one... good stuff, Wes!!

Oh, that poor carrying case! Haha, oh so careful! 😅

Good unboxing, but apple - lame! SAMSUNG! All the way! Oh, we are so different than you, as a tech home we upgrade on the pre-order... but never Apple... android and PC all the way.

It's cool that it is like a retro 📼 VHS

Great unboxing! I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. Thanks for sharing :)

More of Android phone guy but have to admit the quality of this camera good from what I am seeing.

[SubzeroMNX]

Dude im digging the camera quality wow, way better than my current iphone. I didn't run out and get it yet, i am contemplating because my 10 S Max is really a good phone and I no longer have payments lol BUT I really want this 12 pro max!

[CecliusPlaysHD]

I think the Iphone 12 pro max has a decent camera. There is a lot of phones that have better.

[BrainstormSnackAttack]

Careful is as careful does Forrest Gump might say! Good review truly as I am not a iPhone guy but I agree the tech is getting better and better and so helpful esp for us YouTubers who are often inspired at the craziest moments to capture video! Certainly looks nice enough and like fancy jewelry I would be nervous walking around with it all the time lol...:))

[LateNight]

Was the most impressed with the stabiliser. Thanks for displaying all of this in a clear to understand way. Legend.

[RoBrox]

Sweet phone I must say, worth getting as an apple user myself just for the video quality! Wow

[HussCraft]

phones are upgrading so damn much that you don't need no camera to start anything, not a fan of Iphone but they did well with this one, great opening and great testing my friend

[ipooquarters]

I never liked iphones but this one has caught my eye. I like the camera features of it compared to the competition out there. Probably would never buy it though because it is too expensive.

[parttimepiratemb]

IPHONE PRO 12 MAX! Lmao.
I fully understand the frustrations of not scripting.
The cameras on this thing look AMAZING!!! Im an android fan, but this might make me switch just for the camera quality. I film 90% of my videos from my phone just out of ease of use.
Kinda dumb to not include the charging brick.
Great detailed review!

[Nerdynomicon]

Youtubing IS easier with a script. I need one otherwise I trip over my own thoughts... All the time. Truthfully I riff even WHEN I use a script. Maybe I should do outtakes too. 😂😂😂

[JoGeoTechlab]

As always, good job on the in-depth review! Glad you also included video samples of front and rear cameras. In general the phone's build quality, design and technical characteristics are pretty good, only downside is battery and the lack of fast charging (it only supports 20W charging).

[TabletopJason]

I get my wife's hand-me-down phones, so as soon as she gets the iPhone 12, I'll be getting here iPhone 11. I know nobody cares, but this is pretty cool to see because it's a glimpse of what I'll be getting after the iPhone 13 is released :) Anyhow, great unboxing! Very cool to get a preview of this.

[GinaBeana_Tootsie]

Wes I’m and Apple users started with the 3 I don’t have the 12 pro out of my price range but it’s seems to be worth the money get a damn case case for that iPhone before you break it totally a bummer they stopped including the brick but hey you can always get a Lightning one better then a reg. brick. I have a friend that does Fan films Star Trek and he only uses a cellphone to film

[LouisLuzuka]

*subbed* much love from Vancouver Canada 🍁 loving these videos 💯 the mini drone video was amazing 🤩

[The_Brit_Girls]

It looked pretty good to me!! I am also a fan of using what you have. We started our channel using an iPad and only upgraded over time to improve our sound. But its important to just get started. This looks like it would be a good option for people.

[HaloandLemar]

very cool. my fav phone was the HTC! All time fav. but i think its gone now too. :(

[jeffjefferson]

I would be interested in seeing more footage from the camera
