iPhone 12 Pro Max Overview:
Design & Build
The iPhone 12 Pro Max measures 160.80 × 78.10 × 7.40 mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 228.00 grams (8.04 oz). The iPhone 12 Pro Max was launched in Gold, Graphite, Pacific Blue, and Silver colors. It features an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance (up to 6 m for 30 min). The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the opposite of the cheaper iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12’s aluminium build, with both Pro models coming with a premium stainless steel frame instead.
When you look at the new iPhones, they remind you of old iPhones like the iPhone 4 and 5. Apple used a ceramic shield in their new iPhone. The ceramic shield is expected to be significantly more resistant to drops compared to the next best phone glass, Gorilla Glass Victus. More importantly, all new iPhones follow the design principle of the iPhone 4. The design of the 12 Pro Max of the camera module remains the same, but with an extra TOF 3D LiDAR scanner (depth) on the front, it still has the same design as the older model.
Apple introduced MagSafe wireless charging (15W charging), which uses a magnet inside the phone to charge the phone. It charges the phone at 15W output. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by a Qi magnetic fast wireless charger rated at 7.5W. Still, the size of the notch is the same with different face ID sensors and selfie camera specifications.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by a glass front (Gorilla Glass) and a glass back (Gorilla Glass) for a premium and outstanding design to attract the attention of the user. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a mono-SIM phone, which means the iPhone 12 Pro Max only accepts one Nano-SIM.
Performance
The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by the Apple A14 Bionic (5 nm) chipset, with an inbuilt CPU hexa-core (2×3.1 GHz Firestorm + 4×1.8 GHz Ice Storm) and GPU Apple GPU (4-core graphics). The A14 performs around 30 percent better than the A12Z for single-core tasks.
The Apple A14 Bionic is fast enough to handle games like Free Fire and PUBG MOBILE. The GPU score is faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, which means there will be a smooth gaming experience on this chipset. Similarly, the Apple A14 comes with (128 GB/6 GB RAM), (256 GB/6 GB RAM), (and 512 GB/6 GB RAM) NVMe memory.
To put it in perspective, Apple is claiming 50% faster CPU and GPU performance compared to any other smartphone chip. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has a hexa-core CPU clock rate with a setup of up to 3.1 GHz with 2 high-performance and 4 high-efficiency cores, and a quad-core GPU with improved memory compression.
Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with iOS 14.1, up to iOS 15.6, a planned upgrade to iOS 16, and is battery-powered by a Li-Ion 3687 mAh battery. The iPhone 12 Pro Max supports proprietary 22W fast charging, and Apple claims that it can be charged 50% within 30 minutes. MagSafe wireless charging, 15W charging, which uses a magnet inside the phone to charge the phone. It charges the phone at a 15W output. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by a Qi magnetic fast wireless charger rated at 7.5W.
Moreover, the 16-core Neural Engine provides up to 80% faster operations. The dedicated ML (Machine Learning) accelerators on the A14 Bionic with its 2nd-gen architecture are now 70% faster. The A14 integrates an Apple-designed four-core GPU with 30% faster graphics performance than the A12.
Apple’s iPhones are known for being the best-performing smartphones every year throughout the decade. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is packed with Apple’s A14 Bionic, the first smartphone processor to be based on 5 nm technology. It is battery-efficient and too fast compared to other mobiles in the market.
Camera
As far as the cameras are concerned, the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a quad camera with a TOF 3D LiDAR scanner (depth). It has a 12 MP, f/1.6 aperture, 26 mm (wide), 1.7 µm, dual pixel PDAF, sensor-shift OIS as a primary sensor; a 12 MP, f/2.2 aperture, 65 mm (telephoto), 1/3.4”, 1.0 µm, PDAF, OIS, 2.5x optical zoom; and a 12 MP, f/2.4 aperture, 13 mm, 120 (ultra-wide), 1/3.6”. The rear camera setup has autofocus. It sports a 12-megapixel camera on the front for selfies with an f/2.2 aperture of 23 mm (wide), a 1/3.6” with SL 3D (depth/biometrics sensor).
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by the Dual-LED dual-tone flash, HDR (photo/panorama) feature on the primary camera, and it is capable of recording video in [email protected]/30/60fps, [email protected]/60/120/240fps, 10bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), stereo sound rec. It also includes an expansive Ultra-Wide camera and a 65 mm focal length Telephoto camera for increased flexibility with closer shots and tighter crops. Combined, this system offers a 5x optical zoom range.
The iPhone 12 Pro also features a LiDAR scanner on the back. It enables object and room scanning, AR features, and more. The LiDAR Scanner also contributes to low-light autofocus and improves capture time. The main sensor has a faster f/1.6 aperture and boasts a 47 per cent larger sensor with 1.7μm pixels for a massive 87 per cent improvement in low-light conditions.
The new iPhone 12 Pro Max will also be able to shoot HDR video, a first for the iPhone, including support for shooting directly in Dolby Visions HDR on both cameras.
Hardware
The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with an Apple A14 Bionic (5 nm) chipset. The A14 Bionic is the first chip in the smartphone industry built on a 5-nanometer process. Apple claims that the A14 Bionic is 50 percent faster compared to competing smartphones, allowing console-quality gaming experiences, powerful computational photography, and more while delivering great battery life. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB storage variants.
Likewise, its new ISP (Image Signal Processor) allows for Dolby Vision recording, but more on that later on. Amidst the Apple-Epic debacle, Riot Games’ “League of Legends: Wild Rift” will also be coming to the iPhone 12 series.
Apple’s silicons have always been the enterprise leaders, and if the company’s claims about the A14 Bionic are to be considered, the next-gen flagship SoCs powering Android phones have a lot of competition ahead. The iPhone 12 Pro Max comes in Silver, Graphite, Gold, and Pacific Blue.
A14 Bionic features a 16-core Neural Engine for an 80 per cent increase in performance that is capable of completing 11 trillion operations per second, enabling improved performance on even the most intense ML models. In conclusion, the A14 Bionic boasts 25% higher CPU performance and higher power efficiency.
Battery
Although the iPhone 12 Pro Max battery capacity is decreasing as compared with the previous year’s iPhones, due to a14, there will be no huge difference in battery life. The iPhone 12 Pro Max battery is powered by a Li-Ion, 3687 mAh battery. The iPhone 12 Pro Max supports proprietary 22W fast charging, and Apple claims that it can be charged 50% within 30 minutes. MagSafe wireless charging, 15W charging, which uses a magnet inside the phone to charge the phone. It charges the phone at a 15W output. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by a Qi magnetic fast wireless charger rated at 7.5W.
Apple claims that the A14 Bionic is 50 percent faster compared to competing smartphones, allowing console-quality gaming experiences, powerful computational photography, and more while delivering great battery life.
Display
In terms of display, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is for those who want a large display. The iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with a 6.70-inch Super Retina XDR OLED touchscreen display, offering a resolution of 1284×2778 pixels at a pixel density of 458 pixels per inch (PPI). Compared to the iPhone 12 Pro 6.1-inches panel, the Pro Max’s screen has a higher 1284 × 2778 pixel count with a 458 PPI.
Moreover, it is also Dolby Vision, HDR10, and 800 nits (HBM) compliant, making the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s display one of the most visually stunning ones on the market – at least on paper. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is powered by scratch-resistant ceramic glass and an oleophobic coating with tougher protection against drops. By introducing nano-ceramic crystals into the glass matrix that form interlocked structures, Apple is claiming up to four times better drop performance.
Sadly, Apple customers are going to have to wait a little longer to find a high refresh rate display. The iPhone 12 series is still stuck at 60Hz. So, Apple needs to upgrade the display refresh rate to at least 90Hz for better user performance.
