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

I’m using 6 which one should I choose

LOL

I wish Apple named their products like this.

Thanks now i know what to name my 12 pro max lol

I’m getting the IPhone 12 Pro Plus. I cannot wait!

@@Giovan_Nino oh gosh, yeah the screen on my wife’s 12 is awesome! My X is great, but the 12 blows it away.

I’m with you there. Being an older guy competing with younger folk with much better eyes, I have to do everything I can to not give up my ability to work quickly and effectively wherever I am. I’ve been using the XS Max. It’s by far the easiest to work with phone I’ve ever had so far. Much easier to read. And still relatively quick. So, yeah, I’m “eyeing” (I couldn’t resist the dad joke, sorry) the 12PM. If it’s significantly easier to see and use than the XS Max I’ll go for it. I like the longer battery life. But I’m also a die hard user of extended battery cases (yes, I can hear you groaning about the increase in size and weight). When traveling (not so much an issue right now, I know) or in the case of extended power outages or other emergencies, those extended batteries are a necessity. And the added physical protection for a guy who rides a bike for a couple hundred miles a week is not trivial either.

I am upgrading from 7 plus to the 12 pro max

I'm planning to upgrade from the 7+ to PM too. The much bigger touchable screen makes me a little bit nervous... 😅 Is it possible to handle the whole screen? (With one hand)

ANDY_ZOOMT, you will be fine. I have the 11 Pro Max and use the phone with one hand. I will be ordering the 12 Pro Max on Friday.

I thought I was trippin when I heard that 😂😂

@@DogMomKT same lol

I just cut out the different sizes in cardboard

@AWG*59... I did the exact same thing. Not so much to see how big the phone will be, but to have a case on hand to cover my new phone when I get it. Like you, I picked up an Otterbox case, but the Commuter Series. The phone will not fit on my wireless charging pad in my 2020 Explorer ST, so I will have to trade in my vehicle. But it will fit in my pocket and in my hand without any issue. Cant wait to reserve mine on Friday!

You can easily buy it online????

I did this as well. I ordered a pro max case and honestly, it isn't that big. I compared it to a 8 max and its close in size.

same, I bought a case first

Exactly what I was thinking-

*Huge tangent alert, somehow it was prompted by your comment but please ignore if you want*: Interesting...I didn't experience this issue, but I understand your explanation of it. I suppose it just depends on your brain and how you process language. I'm definitely primarily an auditory learner- which traditional education tends to favor. Unfortunately, this trait is actually quite rare amongst the general population. Auditory-verbal learners occur as a very small minority when compared to the percentages of people that are naturally inclined to all the other various learning styles. Visual learners are actually the most common, despite it's reputation as being an exception to the rule...often you hear it in the context of an "excuse" for not comprehending whatever subject is being taught to them via assigned reading material or a lecture given by their teacher/professor. So often a student will say something like "I don't get it...I'm more of a visual learner" or whatever. But usually neither they nor their instructor realize that's actually the norm but according to research, it is. School systems don't intentionally cater to this minority of auditory learners- but they have been anyway, by default...for many generations! Since the typical K-12 class structure is based on a teacher verbally explaining the material, (and perhaps assigning some additional reading) which the students are supposed to comprehend and retain- then they're tested on that knowledge whether by taking a paper test, writing an essay, or demonstrating their comprehension via a project (which they create). At least the latter can allow for students of other learning types, particularly visual and kinesthetic (physical/experiential) learners, to play to their strengths and really connect with the subject in a way that's natural for them. But on a positive note, now we have these statistics from recent studies which show a consensus regarding learning style categories and how they trend among the general population in the US and/or the world. That's one reason there's been a shift toward alternatives to the traditional methods in education, and a push for more choices so that each individual student can choose how to learn the same curriculum but in whichever way fits them best on a personal level. You know, that's why you hear these modern buzzwords like "hands-on approach" and such. I think as long as they don't overcorrect their past mistakes by outright *replacing* auditory/verbal teaching with these other styles, it will be a good thing. Hopefully they simply add more options into the mix in order to to include all the learning styles that have previously been neglected. If education is improved with the goal of accommodating every student to give each person an equal opportunity to learn (as in gain knowledge, develop skills and even master the material). The whole point of school should be to ensure children are set up for success in life by the time they graduate from the system. If we could focus on that and achieve this goal, then we'll become better off as a society overall.

@@ybbetter5744 eh yeah i guess so. :l

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! AYYYYY

Lol he’s strait out Beverly Hills lol

Vintage handbags....they do not fit.

The size being an issue is one thing but the increase in technology is massive for just $100, you are clearly not a camera person. LOL

Then get the normal iPhone 12. The Pro is almost identical to the normal and has a weaker battery performance.

@@luk303 exactly, and if size and price are an issue might as well go iPhone mini save another 100...

@@luk303 Except I like the LIDAR in the PRO for better night time and other photos.

what phone did you have beforehand for the standard Pro to feel small?

I’m waffling about doing the same thing. I upgraded from an 8 plus to a 12 pro. Reading the measurements, I thought with the 12 pro, I’d be getting a screen that’s bigger than the 8 plus without it actually being a bigger phone (no bezels). What I found is the 12 pro has a LONGER yet NARROWER screen. I’m trying to talk myself into keeping it, but honestly I miss the width of the 8 plus in terms of viewing and hand feel. I have average sized female hands. They are smallish, but not overly so. The 8 plus was actually a perfect fit in my hand. I fear the 12 pro max will be too tall (I’m not worried about width), but I’m also feeling like the 12 pro is too small (narrow). I’m trying to decide what I want to do. I just got my 12 pro on the 28th of October, so I still have a little over a week in my return window. I have not activated my 12 pro, I’m still using my 8 plus and easing myself into the 12 pro by using it at home on WiFi to play games and such, but I keep picking up my 8 plus... and I can’t stop thinking about the 12 pro max.

@@DollnAbox get the max

@@dylangruich3100 I had an IPhone XR

It actually kind of funny, apparently I had a wrong case on my 12 Pro to make it feel like an iPhone 5s. However after I’ve been given an apple silicone case, 12 pro feels fantastic in one hand. Perhaps I can type again with one hand while walking on my treadmill. Never thought that they case can make such a difference.

I’m upgrading to the 12 pro from the iPhone 7 and can’t be more excited about

@@stokesaphone me too! Long needed update for us who have had the 7 for over 3 years!

From iPhone 7+, I’m definitely excited to get a new one.

Also getting the 12 pro from 7+. So excited!

@@stokesaphone Same, the wait for it to ship hurts

Yess, I have a 6 but I’ve always loved the design of the 5 it was just way too small for my hands so the 12 being shaped like the 5 is super intriguing

I heard that one!!!!!

Battery is smaller what it is iPhone 11 pro max...

It doesn't matter. A14 is more efficient than A13 so it will have the same SOT if not even better.

When com out bro?????

I went to T-mobile today and I was a little upset cause I asked what time Friday I can come and pre-order my new bad ass iPhone 12 pro max and they said well you have to wait on the list what the heck what list? It’s first come first serve arrrrrrrr lol maybe the guys was just having a bad day bless his heart!!!!!!

Says the guy with a completely grey beard looks in his 50s wearing a baseball cap backwards and wearing the most hipster jumper possible. The irony lmao

Exactly my point. It's a purse phone. A man cant live with the Max comfortably.

What about 12 pro bro .. can u help me plzz. I want to upgrade from 12 pro to max so should I ?

@@sixth_scent_house_malegaon_ He literally said he didn’t like the max because its too big and I assume he’s going for the regular 12 pro

@@sixth_scent_house_malegaon_ No mate. I advise you to upgrade only if you’re going to use the phone without the case and your hands are big enough. I’m 6’ 4” (193cm) high and still think it’s too big. 12 pro looks nice in the case and the size is perfect imo.

Just ordered my 12 pro, upgrading from my XS Max as well. I’ll take your word on how much better it is 👍

I have to put my two cents in and agree, I also upgraded from the XS max and the iPhone 12 pro is the perfect size 👍🏼

I have an 11 Pro Max and leaning on the 12 Pro. I think the 12 Pro’s screen is probably big enough. The Max’s size is quite big for my small hands. Your comment here confirmed my bias towards a smaller phone.

@@carloandreaguilar5916 no I was coming from the XS max but I don’t regret it. The battery life was a big factor too, and it is still great after a few months. I don’t use the 5G though because Verizon 5G is barely any different and the 5G modems eat up battery. Other than that no regrets.

Those are my worries! That’ it’ll become a problem on everyday life use

How did it fare for you. It was too large for me after a few days.

@@lukemike619 too big for me

@@lukemike619 why I went for the pro

@@idanieltaveras5719 it’s quite heavy and gotta use two hands If iPhones went back to making their phones lighter it’d be easier

Silicon cases are pretty good this year.

Wait, are they silicon or silicone? 🤭 Silicone might as well be Velcro when you have it in your pocket. There are a ton of third party cases already and I’m sure we’ll see a ton of third party MagSafe cases too.

I can’t wait to preorder the pro max but I don’t know if I should go with silicon case. I want to feel the square design in my hands but also I am scared of dropping it especially because it’s expensive to fix

Magsafe is a waste of money man. I got it with the 20W brick from apple and still charges really slow. Now I almost always use the normal port for charging and it limits your choice of third party cases significantly.

@@mshiraff Actually I haven’t dropped and broke and phone I had before. But because I heard it’s expensive to repair iPhone 12. I just want to be on the safe side. But your actually right the was negative way

😆😆

Just upgraded from the X to the 12 Pro, and tbh the size isn’t that much of a difference. Im low key thinking I should’ve got the max

@@mvttttt I’m feeling exact same. I had Xs and just received 12 pro today, and I’m thinking of exchanging to pro max

Agree with you. I already have a regular 12, and I will definitely pre-order the 12 P Max, the best camera is Always for me.

"Best" is kind of situational between 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max. Bigger zoom range comes with smaller max aperture on telephoto, I believe? So if (like me), you tend to prefer wider angle shots, the 12 Pro is the better choice. Plus it won't fall out of my small lady hands, and I save a few hundred dollars to spend on trips to shoot photos. 😊

Wait no. Wide angle lens is different too. I stand corrected and now I have to decide if I want a phone that I can literally barely hold. Frick.

No brainer there👍Absolutely

I get your point, but wonder what the real world difference will actually be unless in extreme situations (eg very low light). Also, for production/studio shots etc, I would always just go to my full frame dslr anyway.

the company I work for is giving us 1 pro but I wish I could wait to get a pro max... since I think it will be like my phone for the next 4 years or so... wanted it to be meaningful and add a little extra to get the pro max... sad thing is I need to make the deal next week and the pro max is still not out... I think pro max is worth it this time.

My thoughts too. I wanted to buy an iPad but getting the Pro Max would be a two-in-one for me (I still have an iPhone 7😅), so Pro Max it will be

@@Quiqueleal85 if you have until Friday this week, that’s when pre-orders go live. You can “make the deal” then just wait for the phone

i thought you said ”my dad is almost dead” oh boy😕

@@ThePatrickCorreia they already had the phones there I had to take the iphone12 pro... but it is a big leap in performance from the 10 I had and it was a free so I just took it, loving it btw. I was weary of upgrading this year cause the changes were minimal but dang that camera and crispy screen + it is fast compared to the 10... anyone on the fence of upgrading should go for it. also the box design. oh boy

same

Yes and I think people underestimate the fact that 12 Max is now 228 grams, that makes it the heaviest iPhone ever. Combined with it’s size, seems it will be a disaster for handleability.

Absolutely agree with you all the way. Just not possible.....it’s gonna be a brick to hold. Wanna add a case to prevent it from a disaster because of the difficulty of hold it ? Forget about it. Good luck with your pockets, even your purse, etc... Welcome Apple Care +

I ended up with the 12 Pro too, mine just arrived yesterday. I'm very happy I didn't go to the Max. The 12 Pro is almost too big, honestly, so going any larger is just a non-starter for me. Doesn't matter how good the other features are if it is uncomfortable to use. So far, I am very happy with my choice and I hope this phone lasts me as long as my 6S did. It was a hell of an upgrade.

Same. I love the Pro Max, but its just too big and heavy. Just a bit too much

Did you buy🤣

Same here. He’s very in depth with his reviews than other RU-vid channel.

just so you know the screen is bigger, but in terms of dimensions the only difference in 12 pro max compared to the 7 plus is a 0.1 inch height difference

@@thedaily3900 Thank you, and I did find the 7 plus a little too big particular my pockets looked like I was hiding something special. It’s been a week with 12 pro. Battery life is good with 5G off and battery saver mode.

masterblimpy oh that’s perfect then :)

Can I ask how your battery life is doing on the 12 Pro? That’s my only concern. I’m coming from a 8+

@@The0n3 Battery life is about equal of slightly better than 7 plus and therefore 8 plus. However, I turn off completely 5G since LTE is plenty fast. Also in the morning set it to power saving mode. Screen brightness about 40 to 50%. If I start morning at 100% by 5pm I am around 40% with fairly heavy use through out the day. No problem for 1 fill day of use.

Same

Same bro

I think it’s a feature that can be turned on or off in the settings

@@alanmartinez6877 nope, Apple just erased it

You'll get over 3D touch in like 2 days

For a lot of people the size is a huge deal breaker. Paying £100 more for a size you dont enjoy. On top of that, most people take photos casually and the 12 Pro already has an incredible camera more than good enough for what they want. But yeh the size is the killer. The experience and practicality of holding and using it every day is infinitely more important than a few extra camera features you may take true advantage of once in a blue moon. If youre paying over £1000 for a phone, make sure you get exactly what you want! whats going to fit your lifestyle best.

@@AFCbailey I mean fair enough. I use mine every day for shots of performances and practices, and live the size of my Pro Max. I more meant most people buy the pros for the camera, so why wouldn’t you spring the extra money for a camera that’s way better, even with a bigger package?

@@nigelbassett3791 I used max models previously as well and it was really uncomfortable, looks like a brick in my pocket and almost impossible to use one handed. The biggest advantage for me is battery life, part from the cameras which I don't really care too much cuz all I use my camera for is normal day to day use like sc and ig... If you are into cinematography and is learning or is a beginner I'd say the Pro Max would be perfect.

@@nigelbassett3791 You're not getting how big (heh) of a deal the larger size is for some people. Camera or no camera I for one wouldn't want to lug around a max all day. If it's not an issue for you that's fine, but it is for some.

@@nigelbassett3791 This is the problem with most techtubers, its all about the stats and specs of the internals, and everyone gets it in their head thats all that matters. The general feel, comfort, and aesthetics i'd argue have as much if not more of an influence on peoples choice. The iPhone 12 Pro just looks and feels better than the 12, with much more premium materials brighter screen, and some better internals in the PERFECT form factor of 6.1. Beyond that they dont care about +0.3 megapixel sensor and +3 optical zoom. they dont care. Carrying a brick around for an extra £100 just aint it

@@robinszoo agree I have the note 8 and it is 6.3 so not much of a difference

I like it for the telephoto but everyone's mileage will vary.

Better telephoto and better night photos. More ram and better future proofing. There is a reason for the Pro middle child

@@tubaanext and yet you’ve never even handled the Max. Just going off specs.

@@tubaanext As if a better camera and 50% increase in ram are insignificant differences. Plus 128gb starting memory. Minor differences in battery life don’t make much difference when most of us have chargers at home, at work and in the car.
