Are you looking for the difference between the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max ? Then look no further. We have taken a close look at both models for you. We have described our findings below, so that you will hopefully have no questions about the difference between the two models afterwards.
Size and display
We start by looking at the dimensions and look for the difference between the displays. What immediately stands out is the size. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is significantly larger. The Max is 14 millimeters longer and 7 millimeters wider. Of course, this larger size comes with more weight, making the 12 Pro Max 39 grams heavier.
The screen has also received a major upgrade. The screen of the 12 Pro is 6.1 inches and that of the 12 Pro Max is 6.7 inches. Due to the larger size, the iPhone 12 Pro Max does lose some pixels per inch, but this difference is so small that it is barely noticeable. However, with the Pro Max you do get extra options in operating the screen. Since the screen size is close to the iPad, you also get options that are only visible on the “Plus” iPhone models or iPads . For example, when you look in landscape view, you see a list of all your conversations on the left in messaging apps and the active conversation on the right. And for other types of apps this will be different again.
Camera
The other major difference between the two models is that the iPhone 12 Pro Max gets even more out of the pro camera system. The sensor is 47 percent larger, which means larger pixels. This allows the wide-angle camera to capture significantly more light. What's new is that the image stabilizer now stabilizes the sensor instead of the lens, so you can shoot sharp images even without a steady hand. And thanks to the new telephoto lens, you can zoom in even further on portraits. You now get a whopping 5x optical zoom, compared to the 4x optical zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro. This means that you can zoom in 1x more with the Pro Max without loss of quality!
Conclusion
There are actually many more similarities than differences between the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max, for example, the models are virtually identical on the inside and both have MagSafe . The two biggest differences are the size and the camera. What has not yet been discussed, but is important to mention, is the battery life. The iPhone 12 Pro lasts 17 hours when playing video and the 12 Pro Max lasts 20 hours. Now that you really know everything, it is a matter of weighing up what is important to you. If you love photography, you will quickly end up with the Pro Max. If you prefer a compact phone, you are better off going for the regular Pro. And don't forget how much money you want to spend. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a bit more expensive.
