The iPhone 12 Pro Max, unlike other “Max” phones from Apple, has an identity all of its own. The behemoth iPhone isn’t just a larger version of the outstanding iPhone 12 Pro, it offers more capabilities and features. But you have to wonder, do you really need to take an iPhone 12 Pro to the max? I spent a week putting the iPhone 12 Pro Max through its paces to see what you gain by going big with Apple.

Watch our review of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro:

    If your addicted to consuming content that is leaving you BRAIN DEAD then buy this. All in all the 12 pro is the best option. Easy to carry , easy functionality , same specs

    The battery life itself is well worth the price compare to regular pro.

    Only thing I care about is the telephoto lens. After years of having the highest-end models like S7 edge, Note9 and Note10+… I have noticed I don’t really care about most features. iPhone 12 Mini is as good as the Max for me.

    I kinda wish they’d kept the 6.5” screen and making the phone a bit smaller, like the 6.1 “ Pro vs the iPhone 11. 🤷‍♂️
