Design

The iPhone 12 Pro arrives with some important design updates, external and internal. Apple has decided to leave behind the rounded design of recent years and a more sober and elegant straight design, similar to the iPad Pro. The colors also change and the popular Night Green of the iPhone 11 Pro is replaced by the Pacific Blue color of the iPhone 12 Pro.

Also, there is a major change in the size of the device and its thickness. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is slightly taller, has a 0.2-inch larger screen, and is thinner:

iPhone 12 Pro Max: 16.08 x 7.81 x 0.74 cm.
iPhone 11 Pro Max: 15.8 x 7.78 x 0.81 cm.

In addition to this, it must be added that the new iPhone 12 Pro have a glass that Apple has called Ceramic Shield and who assures that it is 4 times stronger than the toughest glass on the market. It is not noticeable with the naked eye but it is an important change.

Cameras

The iPhone 12 Pro Max maintains a rear module with three sensors, a 12 MP wide angle, a 12 MP ultra wide angle and telephoto lens, to which we have to add a LiDAR sensor. As has been happening for several generations, the camera is one of the main novelties.

He iPhone 12 Pro Max’s main sensor is 47% largerBy allowing better results in low light conditions, Apple claims that low light photos are 87% better. But in addition, the optical zoom range now grows to x5, the pixels are larger, 1.7 µm, and the image stabilization improves, now it is by sensor shift.

The new iPhone 12s have also improved key features like Deep Fusion and the night mode, which now supports all 4 cameras iPhone, including the front camera and portrait mode.

Furthermore, the iPhone 12 Pro is the first smartphone capable of record Dolby Vision video and it supports a new format called Apple ProRAW, perfect for professional users to edit their photos to a much higher level.

screen

The screen of the iPhone 12 Pro Max increases slightly to 6.7 inches, the iPhone 11 Pro max had a diagonal of 6.5. We continue to have the Super Retina XDR technology of the iPhone 11 Pro and the resolution increases slightly to 2,778 x 1,284, which is the same 458 p / p.

In general, the screen seems very similar on iPhone 12 Pro Max and 11 Pro MaxAlthough we understand that it has improved in the new models, it is not one of the most notable changes.

Power and performance

The A13 Bionic processor was already a real beast, imagine what the new A14 Bionic will look like. Apple itself has highlighted that the A13 Bionic was the most powerful chip on the market, until now.

The new processor A14 Bionic is 50% faster than the most powerful chip in the competition, Apple has not detailed improvements regarding the A13 Bionic, but we are facing a good evolution, it must be borne in mind that Apple will use variants of this processor in its computers.

Internal storage

Apple has made the leap this year to 128 GB of internal storage in the iPhone 12 Pro, leaving behind the 64 GB that the iPhone 11 Pro offered as a base. This is an important and highly desired improvement, double the capacity without increasing the price of the device.

MagSafe

One of the most important novelties of the new generation of iPhone 12. It is a new wireless charging system that adjusts automatically thanks to a coupling by magnets.

But not only that, we have at our disposal a large number of accessories that they will take advantage of this new exclusive feature of the iPhone 12. And surely more third-party accessories will start to appear soon.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max introduces major improvements such as 5G, a larger screen, a new design and new cameras that point very high. Apple has managed to improve its larger iPhone quite a bit without raising the price, something that is not easy to achieve.
