iPhone 12 Pro vs 12 Pro Max — Don't Choose WRONG!

I hear you, I feel you. For the last couple of years, the Pro and Pro Max iPhones have been identical except for the Max part. The size part. But this year… this 2020 of years… the cameras are different and even the size differences… are different.

So, if you still can’t decide between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. If you’re still on the fence. If you prefer the regular Pro size but want that Pro Max camera or battery. If you don’t mind big phones but worry the new Max is just too big. But if you also worry that if you don’t get it, you might just regret it. If you’ve got full on FOMO YOLO, but worry Pro Max price is just a no-go…

Then wow but do I have the video for you.

I’m getting the PM. I’ve missed the size of my 7+ for three years. I’m 46 with 46 year old eyes. Bigger is better for me. 🥴

The MAX is too large for me.
The increase in technology is not worth the extra cost.
The PRO is just fine in size and price.
For me.

The phrase "on the Max" sometimes registers in my brain as "on the Macs". (Macs have cameras too.) Then my brain has to undo what I heard, which slows down my rate of comprehension.

Guys, I’ve used a 12 pro max from my work place for a few days and that made me choose 12 pro. The phone is very big, and after using a case it becomes huge. You risking all the time to drop it and you can really feel it heavy in your pocket. Every time you need both hands to cover all the size of the screen. If you buy this just for the picture quality, it’s not a big difference and the battery will go down in time anyway. I would recommend max for the ladies as they can keep it in the purse.

If you are worried about the size, buy the case before release date. (you'd have to buy one in store now since they won't ship before the release of the 12 max.) I bought a Otterbox Defender a little over a week or two ago and it finally arrived via fedex (which took forever to arrive) and I now feel so much more confident in spending the money on the 12 Pro Max now that I know it fits in my pocket and hand great!

I got the iPhone pro, the size is just right and it fits like a glove.

I went from the XS Max to the 12 Pro, and I’m loving the new design and the size. The XS Max was too big for my hands, and the curved design made the device hard to hold for me. I think that the size of the 12 Pro is perfect, and I haven’t noticed a huge hit in battery, even while using 5G, in comparison to my last device. Maybe once the Pro Max has 120 hz refresh, and more of a step up in “Pro” features compared to the regular pro, I’ll go back to the bigger device.

Great video!

Thanks for the clear summary of the differences between the 12 Pro and the 12 Pro max. I already pre-ordered the 12 Pro, mainly because my current iPhone is the 7Plus and I felt the 12 Pro was going to do it for me. However, after watching a few reviews of 12 Pro vs 12 Pro Max, I began to sense that this time there is a real benefit to be had from the Max. Your video is really what it is all about for me and I came to the same conclusion as you did. The price difference is not a show stopper and the 7Plus and 12 Pro Max are almost identical in footprint. I cancelled my pre-order for the 12 Pro and I am going for the Max. Thanks for helping me decide.

Im actually returning my 12 pro and will be buying 12 pro max. 12 pro feels small for me.

[nicks]

I left the iPhone series after the 6. The 5 being my absolute favorite, the 12 is the first iPhone I'm really interested in getting after all these years.

[mattido]

I am by no means a professional photographer, so I’m sticking with the Pro. I’m never far from a charge, so I’m good there as well.

[Painfulwhale]

Just got the iPhone 12 pro yesterday. Upgraded from my iPhone 11. Couldn’t be happier. The squared design is definitely superior and feels higher quality compared to the 11 pro. I have the same screen size as my iPhone 11 yet have a smaller phone. This phone is awesome!

[HansMarroquin]

I want the 12 pro max because (in this order):
1. Battery
2. Screen
3. Camera

[ihsanijackson]

I pre ordered the 12 pro, got it in hand, and hated the size. Maybe it's just muscle memory and I'm jumping 5 generations from the 7 plus. But because I have a plus phone, the pro just did not feel good in my hand. So I returned it and am waiting to pre-order the pro max. Like yes the 7 plus screen in smaller but the overall size of the 7 plus is bigger than the 12 pro and I was just used to holding a bigger phone.

[michaelbell]

Im a photographer and I want the best camera, period. Max for me. Not to mention photos, web and social media looks much better on a larger screen. Win/win.

[LuiRangel]

I think your content is so close to prefect it's unbelievable. Keep it up!

[roberts]

Coming from an iPhone X, the iPhone 12 Pro feels substantially larger in hand. I really wouldn’t want anything larger than this, even with the better camera.

[LavesAdrian]

This is exactly the comparison I was looking for! Thanks for that!
I will likely go for the Pro Max also this year and hoping it won’t be too large for everyday use
