If Apple cares much about the environment then don't bring out new I phone every year but every 2 years , disappointed that Apple don't include the plug and ear buds - costs don't come down and get we getting less from Apple . People would still buy the plug if they need it . I can't get the I phone 13 as superstitious of the number 13, lol . I currently have a I phone 8 Plus 256gb & would prefer a bigger storage . I hate the notch being part of the screen but might have to if I get the I phone 12 pro. I cannot go for the I phone 12 pro max as it be too big to use .
Still dont understand why people complain for not including the charger...Yes i understand it comes with a USBC to lightning cable and you may not have a USB C Charger, but if you switched from older iPhone you would already have a lightning cable that WORKS with this year iPhone! if you dont have a USB C Charger, then it may be a good time to invest on a good USB C Charger? get a 65W one and it can charge all your device, switch, macbook, iPad, iPhone, you name it!
@@christ3405 you should upgrade its really really different specially if you want to take photos, camera is good, battery life can last upto wholeday, and charging is fast with 18w charger, downside is there is no headphone jack.
Yup. Just upgraded from iPhone 6s to iPhone 12 pro. But unfortunately have to wait for it to be shipped. But I’m sure it’s going to be so much better than my prehistoric phone. Haha
thankfully i was able to upgrade this phone is amazing. went over 14 hours and was still at 26% before i charged it at the end of the day compared to my 6 that most likely would have lasted and hour and a half with no charge
I almost didn't watch this because I've seen so many reviews on the iPhone 12 Pro already, but right away you started covering alternative features that generally go unaddressed. Not even a single mention of Dolby Vision HDR! This was very refreshing. Thanks for the great video.
finally, so hype to get my iphone 12 pro coming from an iphone 6 user. Edit: Been using for a couples of days now, couldn’t be more happier. Such a huge leap of improvement. Thanks for the likes and have a good day everyone. 🙂
Dont do it!!! I made the upgrade and this phone is so slow, the camera went black and doesn’t turn on. I have not dropped the phone and I’ve only had it for 3 days.
Fun fact: Portrait Mode on iPhone 7 was planned to be applied in to the photo AFTER you took the picture and not be shown in the viewfinder while you’re taking it, but then the human interface design team insisted that the user should see a live preview of the bokeh effect being applied. Then they agreed that that was the right way to do it, in real time.
@@Ka_T_ya he mean that even 7 does not have potrait mode... it is actually have it... now i using iphone 7 and i realised it after you take photo... the background become blurr
He’s not,in fact the moment a new pixel or flagship Samsung pops out ,he disses on iPhones to praise them. He definitely a fan of the apple processors,cuz who in their right minds wouldn’t be,but sadly he’s not so big on the iPhones .
@@arkaa1203 I know I was. Most difficult decision. In my opinion, if someone wants the best of everything, PRO MAX for sure. So worth it for $100 more. I decided on a 12 over the 12 Pro. I like the lighter weight of the 12. I came from a SE 2020.
I just upgraded to the 12 Pro from a X. The 12 Pro feels absolutely amazing. Much more powerful. Way faster. Camera is my favorite part. I’m in love with this thing!
@@techfragrancemarvelfan3104 I had ordered the graphite. My phone didn’t come in! So i had to settle for the Pacific blue. Actually glad I did because it looks very cool, and different then my last 4 phones that were “space gray” or black.
Not gonna lie, I didn’t expect much from this. I’ve seen a dozen reviews already but, a lot of reviewers missed a good amount of the things you talked about. I think a lot of the big guys have lost the love for reviewing and didn’t bother doing their homework. They don’t bother thinking too deeply about the features in the phones and why they are there anymore. So this video was really refreshing. Good work.
@@davidjohntough9115 I agree. That's probably why you act like an Apple hater but still make sure to watch content related to the brand. Now stfu and go back to the herd, you sheep
Yeah hes good at sellling the device , but il stick with my cheap Galaxy A10s as it lasts 2 days on a charge and has 2 cameras and just does what it says on the tin for $100 thats all i need
Well, I partly agree *lol*. Yet, I found, that after the "excited salesman" babble, there were actually interesting infos given. I've just changed from Android to an SE a few months ago and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Just miss the possibility to install non-App-Store-Apps from itch.io to play those Indie Games. But since I can play those still on my Linux Laptop or ancient MacBook (2009), I can spare that. So, it's nice to see why the Apple Ecosystem is so pleasant for the most part. It's not as flexible as Android, which is Linux-based, but it's pretty responsive and stylish, I give Apple(-fanboys/-girls/-persons/-animals/-furries/etc. and anything in between) that ^_^ My old Sony Phone worked for about 7 years until its lags drove me crazy. I'm curious how long the SE will hold up and if I can change the battery by myself with a bit of fiddling or if I need to hand it to an Apple-licensed Vendor around here, since there's no Apple Store where I live yet (there's only one, that is about 100 km away, which I won't get a Car-Share for, let alone use the otherwise very convenient Public Transport Options for). I like the Overall Security Options and think Apple is still pretty trustworthy when it comes to their Data Protection Options and the User Choices they offer. First thing I did was turning off Siri though for that reason, but I might use it even since I learned, that there's an option to opt-out of the human review part for Siri. Anyway, in the end, I don't understand the @MaxTech dudes as salesmen, but take it in the context/framing of "if you really want to or need to get a new phone these days, here are the choices and the audience each of the choices are most appealing to with the given options and features of the phone models". - I mean: who doesn't like ("Freedom" of) choice, right? ;-) I'm curious, if #Apple will eventually be one of the first to adapt #Graphene #Batteries for their devices though - that would be *really* awesome and innovative then - not just because of the much higher energy density these will have, but also the higher voltages they can be charged with without heating up so much, that the batteries go up in flames, because they're gonna be solid and not fluid then. - But, it's still some time until that can even happen, because mass production of this material is still only in it's infant stages these days. Hopefully once I need a new phone, it'll be available though. - (Hopefully that will only be) Once we're starting with 6G then *lol* Fascinating times these are - and once we're all vaccinated with the COVID-19-vaccine, we can go about exploring them even more again. But I can imagine that Nature will the happy about the break she got from so many people being forced to limit their travels and not stomping, littering or outright destroying habitats for a while. Cheers everyone and may the muse(s) be with you ;-P
I was trying really hard to fight the temptation of experiencing every iPhone. When I upgraded from my favorite silver iPhone X to the iPhone 11 Pro I regretted it shortly after. And for 2 years I’ve been debating selling it and just going back to the X. Then the 12 Pro came with the flats sides. Max Tech is right on this!! It feels friggn amazing!!! I struggled going caseless with the 11P. So I bought cases for it. But for the 12P there is no need for me to buy a case. Especially with my super dry hands. The flat sides give an easier surface to grip. The 11P would always roll out of my palms like a bar of soap. So ya I upgraded for the flat sides to go caseless. No regrets on this one. Everything is mentioned in this video is just a bonus. 🍻
Probably from the West Coast...Thats how they talk to everyone, like everyone else is in Kindergarten. Annoying douche bags that think they're the beautiful people.
I currently use the 11 pro and had about every iPhone prior. This is the first year I don’t even feel the need or “hype” to update. The battery is worse and the camera basically the same. No 120hz etc. basically the same phone but square. I’m out for this year.
Max, congrats, your review is the best on internet so far. Talking about really things to know before buy. Appears be "apple fan" but all the consideration is fully true. Keep doing this!
Why.....WHY did I watch this. You nailed this review by covering so much that others have passed over. Accordingly, for the first time, I actually want to upgrade from my 11Pro. Also, I gotta say, I am digging that Storm Trooper look of the white/black/silver. UGH
I actually got to hold an iPhone 12 today. One of my coworkers got the dark blue 12. Damn was it noticeably lighter. I am actually waiting on the 12 Pro Max preorder next Friday. I will be taking a chance and trading in my 11 Pro Max. I am blessed to be able to financially upgrade yearly if I choose to so if it’s a dud on battery life, hopefully Qualcomm’s X60 modem next year will allow for Apple to put in a larger battery so we can finally get that 120HZ, with 5G and have 11 Pro Max battery life.
Just got my iPhone 12 Pro and I LOVE it! I had the iPhone 8 before so it’s an amazing upgrade. And yea I couldn’t care less that they got rid of the charging block and earbuds since I already have Apple’s 30W USB-C fast charger I got separately when I bought my iPhone 8 and AirPods Pro. I’m so happy that I could get this phone for the same price as the 11 Pro was and have all the extra features. So glad I decided to wait another year!
Hey! Is really the battery that bad?? I bought the iphone 12 pro 128gb, arrives tomorrow, but Im starting to think to change it to Iphone 11 Pro Max 256gb (I have to say that the 11 pro max 256gb would be more expensive than the 12 pro 128gb lol).
I’m ok without the headphone jack as I use Bluetooth headsets exclusively now. But I will miss the home button dearly. I kept the 6S so long because it still works so great! But it is finally showing its age as it can’t keep up with me sometimes, therefore I am finally upgrading
My carrier doesn’t have a 5G network. When I upgraded to the 12 pro was very confused about how I was getting 80-100 mbps LTE speeds all of the sudden! I guess that new Qualcomm modem is doing a really good job for LTE👌
Rodolpho's Tech channel Maybe for your area it’s slow. I live a rural coverage area and usually saw closer to 30mbps while at home. So it may not be fast by some urban standards, going from 30ish to 80-100 is a pretty decent leap.
Amazing review. I think you covered pretty much every detail and I loved that you gave your “three reasons to upgrade” at the end. Great work man, keep it up! You just gained a sub.
This is the best iPhone 12 review I have seen so far, and I have seen them all. I ordered the Pro MAX today, just because of the camera and better battery life. So excited about it!! 😁
Wow, your production quality is higher and higher and higher!! I fondly remember seeing max at AppleInsider but you both have grown so much and are sooo much better now, I am really proud of what you have become!! Insane quality and likeable! PS Vadim I still love you haha!
Wait for the 12 Pro Max because it is more of a better upgrade than the 12 Pro mainly with camera hardware and battery life as you're coming from the 7.
Not gonna lie this feels more like apple fanboism than actual rational justifications. Still, good to know about the cellular modem. Maybe I won’t return the 12 pro after all.
The modem is SO much better. I upgraded from the iPhone X to the iPhone 12 Pro, and the new cellular modem is so so much faster even with 5G turned off.
@@codyzhu5461 I’m going from the Xs to the 12pro this afternoon. I wasn’t excited about it because the differences I saw before didn’t seem big but that photo quality comparison... I need it 😂 #momproblems
I totally agree with your opinion. I came from a 10R. I bought the 12 Pro and I really like it. I was able to buy the 256 for the first time ever with the iUP program, a new phone every year. What fun.
Great review!! Most of the ones I’ve seen on the 12 Pro really go in deep on what it lacks (such as 120 Hz and weaker battery life) but in your review, it is written to highlight all the good stuff and added new features Apple put in while keeping the same price point!!! I currently have the 12 Pro and upgraded from my 2017 X, immediately noticed the camera improvements, speed and RAM improvements and the slightly bigger screen :)
Simply superb.. u nailed it with this video. I have a much better clarity whether I should go with 12 pro or not. Thanks . Waiting for 12 pro max video now 😉
So tired of tech "reviewers" trying to convince people each and every year that it makes sense to upgrade to the new iPhone even when they own the previous model. If they could convenience us to change the current model with the same model mid-year they would. Nuff said.
This guy is having the same marketing training as apple’s PR team😂😂😂. It is way too obvious that this guy is making a commercial, not a review, just ignore him...
So tired of people who are not interested in a product, but STILL click on it, only to then beetch about it. If you don't want to upgrade then DON'T. This video is geared (aka TARGET AUDIENCE) towards people that want to upgrade but are still on the fence. Is anyone holding a gun to your head? So tired of yall negative Nancies that Never miss a beat!
The only reason to wait for the iPhone 13 is for a 120Hz display. That's exactly why Apple didn't include it, or people would have no reason to upgrade for years. As always, brilliant review.
do you think that both the iphone 13 and iphone 13 pro will get the 120 display or only the pro version? i just bought the iphone 12 and love it but somehow my battery drains so fast eventho im not on 5g...
Nah, their innovation is slower than a damn turtle. If they will think of that on the iPhone 13, the best that they can only do is 90Hz or worse is it will still be 60 Hz.
I am currently using a iPhone 12 Pro and I just really love the way the phone looks. I don’t have a any problem with the notch nor the 60hz screen. All applications launches at a fast speed and the OS/software is on point with application support and updates. CONS: what I absolutely hate the most is how the phone feels in my hand; first I was really excited about the flat edges but now I really regret it as it has become the reason I hate holding the phone in my hands. The flat edges aren’t necessarily sharp however it really digs into my palm and my fingers. Holding the phone for over a period of time, my hands starts too really hurt. My iPhone 12 Pro has some thermal throttling issue as it overheats (during the second day I got it) and then will STOP to launch ANY APP. The touch screen has some miscalibration as I noticed I would accidentally click on something I was NOT trying to click on. I am most definitely disappointed with the camera system. The lens focus is slower than I had expected, color quality are a bit over touched and sharp (probably due to software contrast). Multitasking is complicated and slower than on Android and so I am a little annoyed and agitated. I really like this phone but I have been utterly disappointed. I’m considering downgrading to a iPhone 11 Pro 😔
You really telling us this is the biggest improvement since the 6s because 1. It feels nicer to hold 2. The battery is worse than the previous generation 3. The phone has 5g that you should turn off anyway to save more battery because LTE is perfect
the iphone 5 is my favorite apple design ever and because of that i thought about upgrading my iphone 11pro to the iphone 12 pro. I was checking for the unit the other day and seriously i could feel the difference immediately once i held it. Yess from the design and also from the screen that become a little bit more flat and expands and the camera stability is bomb. Didn't notice any other difference so far tho because my phone still haven't arrived yet. Hopefully would get them this weekend! So excited
Like honestly - I’ve watched tons of iP12 reviews and this is the best one. It literally made me almost buy one for myself (I realized that I can’t afford one on checkout screen xD) because you focused on things that matter the most when using phone everyday. I have to admit that sometimes your titles seem a bit “clickbaity”, but reviews like this are proof that you are reliable and trustworthy reviewer.
Wow, great review. Thank you so much for all the details that the other RU-vidrs did not even bother to mention. This feels like a review that comes from somebody who actually took the time to review the phone thoroughly - not people who are just testing based on the specs. Keep up the good work. I subscribed.
I simply upgraded from my Xs because they went back to the old design which was my favorite iphone design ever! So in conclusion- I'm never upgrading again lol
I’m on the same boat, have an Iphone 11 Pro Max 256 - I’m still watching videos trying to convince myself on not buying the new 12 Pro Max... not doing a very good job at it... 😂🤣 I’m still thinking of downgrading to a 128G instead of the 256G - don’t know yet....
Just go for it brother. I did and I’m still convincing myself that it was worth it even though I haven’t received it yet. But I have a feeling that it will be.
Excellent review; great job. you’re the first to mention things like the speakers! Was wondering about that; I have an X and sometimes it’s barely audible without headphones/speaker. Your review really is helpful and comprehensive, to see what an upgrade (pro max of course!) will be like.
Also, I got the iPhone 12 and the game changer for me is the HDR video, like at night. I'm still making tests and I'm gonna upload more about that but that helps so much now that you can really get good looking videos at night.
Thank you for this video! I love watching the videos where I see people using their phones in ways that I would in everyday life, so thank you. These kinds of videos are so much more helpful to me than the spec and design dumps of most videos
