Charging rates top out at 15W, or about double what you'd get from a standard Qi wireless charger. Apart from some neat cases, the most notable example is Apple's MagSafe wireless charging puck.

Apple iphone 12 pro max review full#
The Pro Max also supports the full swath of MagSafe accessories, though most of them are forgettable. In any case, I'm sure it won't be the last such accident. At some point during my testing, the screen picked up a pronounced gouge right on the edge of the display, and I couldn't for the life of me tell you how or when it happened. Just remember, “shatter-resistant” is not the same as “scratch-proof”. It has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, and the same shatter-resistant CeramicShield covering the display. Its stainless steel body and frosted glass back repels grimy fingerprints and makes it less prone to sliding around. On the whole, Apple's nipping and tucking means the 12 Pro Max is more comfortable to use than last year's model, and that’s a big deal.Īside from that, the 12 Pro Max shares a lot with the iPhone 12 Pro.

That said, it's also a little heavier than the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but not to the point where most people would make a fuss. If you break out the calipers, the difference seems minimal, but trust me - every fraction of a millimeter counts when we're talking about large devices you're going to hold throughout the day. It's also important to note that the iPhone 12 Pro Max is slightly thinner than last year's big iPhone. (They're especially noticeable on my gold review unit.) Not everyone will appreciate Apple's design choices this year, but the new look evokes fan-favorites like the iPhone 4 and 5 and gives the Pro Max a distinctive feel compared to the rest of the year’s premium smartphones. Inspired in part by Apple's redesigned iPad Pro, the Pro Max is sleek and angular with flat, stainless steel edges that, while eye-catching, are quick to pick up fingerprints. Like the rest of the iPhone 12 lineup, the Pro Max cuts a striking figure next to the last few generations of iPhones. (It's worth noting that, unlike the regular iPhone 12, the Pro Max costs the same regardless of whether you want an unlocked model or buy directly from a carrier.) Design and display Once you have that sorted, it's on to storage

The first has to be whether you need a phone this big, especially since the smaller iPhone 12 Pro already packs a 6.1-inch screen. If you're considering Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max, you have some decisions to make.
