Literally does all the same things my old phones used to do except the 5G makes it somewhat faster, the camera is better, and it is a little bit bigger. After having it 2 weeks now I find it no more special than my first Moto Droid except the camera is more functional.

It’s the flagship for now

Best reviewer on the Tube

no one talks about the camera glare

Title rename- Iphone x with flat edges and new camera system xxl. Same phone over and over again for 1k. blows my mind people still buy

why would they downsize on battery size from the 11 pro max. it makes little sense to me.

Toronto!

not on android anymore?

True! Gold was never gold in mobile phones... but this time ipmax did it. Yo

Okay 😂

What is the game called please? (at 1:17 minutes)

Love my 12 pro max so much! Great phone

Do you have a link to that wallpaper? I have the same phone color and that wallpaper matches so well

Lol 😄 why the hell you you be confused that the comparison that they make of cameras is the 12 pro vs 11 pro???

Rather call it Prometheus than pro max

We bought 2 iPhone 12 Pro Max and they both have awful antenna receptions and to return them and go back to my iPhone 11 Pro Max way better for rural areas

2:09 *POP*

It is phone my favorite:)

Just ordered 12 pro max 256gb silver.

Give the raccoon some food.

You forgot the massive advantage with battery on the pro max

https://youtu.be/YyMiZCXRMQY 🙄🙄

Bro, you are the best

Too big 12 works great

Dave finds a raccoon in a trash can and is like the only person to decide to test a camera at that time lol

I want the IPhone Pro MAX 256gb I'm watching this on a Samsung S8 by the way

Would like a review of the LiDAR tech in the camera

It's strange times we live in when almost ALL new iPhone reviews mostly focus on the phone's camera but spend almost no time or none whatsoever discussing any improvements to the phone's ability to make reliable good quality phone calls. The reviews should just be titled --- 'Camera Review of the iPhone 12 Pro Max'.

I wanted a smaller phone from my current Samsung S20 Ultra and I liked the size and shape of the iphone 12pro so I went out and bought it. Regrettably, I too now have buyer's remorse and am soooo disappointed in this phone for its screen quality and the fact that iphone does not play well with Gmail when you download the Gmail app and want to use that as my primary email client. Although the S20 Ultra is too large for me, the build quality is excellent and the screen is drop dead gorgeous too. Apple cannot hold a candle to the display of the S20 Ultra. Did I say was extremely disappointed in my purchase!!! Never again Apple!!!!!!!

Cheers from the 6ix

1:17 Can someone tell me the name of the game please?

6.1 inches ?? Lol 6.7

Really happy for my 700 AAPL shares. Will keep my iPhone 6 Plus.

Dave, you really don't like iPhone, do you?

Can you do a review on the Samsung Galaxy M51 and compare it with the Samsung Galaxy A71...?

@Tech UniverseTV correct.

Costed me nearly 2100 ₹ for iphone 12 pro max ... yeah it is expensive in india 😂

Do you have a review for the iPhone 11?

They got yo ass in 4k ..... Racoon friends to racoon

1:57 what The dark site last longer than the light site my whole life has been a lie.

Just went with the regular 12 from the X. Couldn't justify the price difference for the "Pro" features of the regular 12 Pro, and the Pro Max was just too big for me. (Plus I really like the vibrant deep blue colour of the 12 vs the muted pacific blue of the 12 Pro). The image quality on the regular 12 is PHENOMENAL. But if the improved camera system plus high refresh rate screen makes it into the Pro next year (or the year after), I'll jump on that.

Should I upgrade from the iPhone 6s Plus?

Watch a teardown on iFixit, or read up on the camera system on the Halide blog. There was no way, no how, that the camera system in the Pro Max was fitting inside the 12 Pro. It's a big beast of a system. If you just look at the two phones side by side, you can see how much physically larger the lenses are and how much further they protrude from the phone (yes, an even bigger bump). It wasn't yields, it was physics. We are disinclined to believe what companies tell us, but Apple meant exactly what they said. The much larger form factor of the Pro Max gave them a chance to do something with the cameras they couldn't do in the smaller phones. It's a simple as that.

Watching this and i have an iphone 5s 😫🤦🏻‍♂️

All the tech companies are focusing so much on their cameras in their new phones. I don't even use the camera that often or pay that much attention to it. Would love to see more innovation in other parts.

Who else always sees his vid in 1.25 Speed

Buaaahahahahahahahahahahaahaha apple keep doing the same shiet, over and over again, and stayed in 60hz, not only that they owed the screens to Samsung, and people still like that stupid phone, is expensive, cannot install apps like mobdro, cinema HD, and other super cool apps for music and movies, iPhone, takes 1000 dollars out of your pocket and then stick it hard to people by selling them movies and music that I can get for free in an android, please, stop, they have to stop, I don't know 🙄

Guys, if you are wondering which to buy, take my advise and buy the 12 pro max. It is better in every way for a minimal price increase. I ordered the 12 pro but nor the screen or the battery were sufficient for my needs. I returned it and got the Pro max and I can tell you the difference is HUGE! the Pro max is perfect!

1:15 did he just call the Max a 6.1 inch phone

The iPhone 12 Pro is 6.1 display NOT the iPhone 12 Pro Max🤭

I have an iPhone 7 currently, upgrading to the 12 Pro Max because of the larger screen and the better camera (also the sound, but the other two more). And I don't think the size will matter too much, I went to a Verizon store and was able to hold one in my hands, it's big yup. But I don't text that much. But I do watch a lot of YouTube videos on my iPhone 7. I think the inconveniences of having a much larger screen in respect to difficulty reaching across the phone or being able to text with one hand is secondary to the pro's that I will get when it comes to viewing media content on the larger screen (and better/louder speaker). Also, my iPhone 7 batter sucks! can't make it through half a day without it dying on me after a full charge (I know, I can go to a cell phone repair center and get a new battery installed or at least that has been recommended to me by a few people). I think this larger battery will be amazing for me!

great stuff.

up for the cut baby

note 20 ultra or 12 pro max

For anyone's listening here :) If your are luckily within the 14 days window, GO FOR AN IMMEDIATE RETURN/REFUND of this useless and BROKEN 12 Pro Max line-up!!! Just today I HAPPILY returned mine :) Lots of crazy, absurd, inacceptable camera issues!!! And I've investigated it for many days before returning. Thousands of people are getting tons of troubles with theirs 12 Pro Max. And just in the camera department! This is a very bad situation. Issues are (in no particular order): 1) HUGE problem when shooting clear blue sky. TERRIBLE color blending!!! Inacceptable. 2) HUGE focusing issues in low light (maybe due to some conflict with the almost useless LIDAR) 3) Much increased MINIMUM FOCUS DISTANCE. Below 10/11 cm is impossible to get things in focus!!! Apple...are you serious? 4) HUGE, MIGHTY, issues with "fake" flare and light stains!!! 5) SCREEN FLICKERING in some situation and when watching photos and/or videos And I've double checked all these things. Thousands of customers are getting the same exact issues with theirs units. Apple has already acknowledged some of these issues and unofficially they say that a next iOS update COULD fix them. But nothing for sure. It's absurd that a phone over 1400 Euros has this terrible camera hardware/software.

im only getting the max because its bigger. Literally no other reason lol

I'm here for the baby. He's so cute 😍😍😍

great video love the format.

Great Video! I also did an unboxing when I received mine, so excited 😆 I got the pro max in blue

When you are over 50's, you really need this big phone.

Iphone 12 pro combined with iphone 12 pro max camera would be a huge hit. Sadly Apple didn’t think this through.

I would have buy iphone 12 pro max if it wasn't priced at 1754 dollars that's my 3 months salary in my country

Wow I never knew this was going to be true, until I contacted IIFRANK230 on Instagram and I was given a brand new iPhone 12 pro max, I can't believe it

I have this phone and I love it. I upgraded from the 11 pro max and the colour is definitely better it’s not so much a rose gold.

YES THE DOTS STILL EXIST FILMING VIDEO AT NIGHT TIME WHEN THERE ARE LOTS OF LIGHT BULBS IN THE AREA, YOU WILL GET DOTS DOTS DOTS DOTS.

Watching on my 12 PRO MAX

*Hot take: 2020 is the year when new phones are finally so good that you won't see massive improvements between phones every year anymore.* I feel like with the OP 7 Pro, iPhone 12, Samsung S20 and various others- there is very little a new phone could offer to make me want to upgrade to it from my current model. *Like, what are they gonna do?* Make the bezels smaller? Already at the edges. Improve the camera? It's already awesome and competes with high end DSLRs. Better batterylife? Already great and charger super fast. Better screen? Already looks so good that even if the pixel density is increased I won't notice it. Performance? Already so fast it won't matter for years to come until software catches up. Build quality? Maybe, but probably not. Durability? This might be the final frontier. But it's also really good now. Like at this point I see practically no reason to upgrade for years. And I'm a geek! Regular people will probably care even less.

Oh how I miss Toronto from watching this video!

*Give me😇*

Wow I never knew this was going to be true, until I contacted IIFRANK230 on Instagram and I was given a brand new iPhone 12 pro max, I can't believe it

new flagship killer is oneplus 7t its 299$ and its got a sd855+ !!!! crazy..

Dave2D > MKBHD

the phone you buy to prove to people that you are the man and that in fact you dont have a tiny pee pee...what a joke of a phone, what kind of fundamentally broken person needs this status symbol?

This is not really a review of the phone just about the camera

What game is that that Dave is playing!?

I thought this year battery 🔋 was smaller not bigger⁉️

@Dave Lee , if you can see this can you help pass this along to consumers, thanks! There is proof that displaymate is cheating customers and not aligning with fair play competeitive laws in doing so. Proof is they lied in the actual review for iPhone 12 Pro Max: 1) Highest absolute colour accuracy was already awarded to Note 20 Ultra (0.5 JNCD) which is better than 0.9 JNCD for iPhone 12 Pro Max (lower is better, means lower error in colours displayed). 2) Highest Full Screen Brightness for OLED smartphones was already awarded to Note 20 Ultra. iPhone 12 Pro Max got 825nits for 100% apl where Note 20 got 1037 nits for 100% apl (higher is better, means higher brightness). 3) Lowest screen reflectance, again Note 20 had 4.4% screen reflectance and iPhone 12 Pro Max has 4.8% (again lower is better as it means less screen reflectance). 4) Smallest variation for viewing angles already belongs to Oneplus 8T (22% at 30 degrees) where iPhone 12 Pro Max got (27% at 30 degrees). Here again lower is better, as it means colours shift less at an angle. 5) Highest visible screen resolution was actually awarded to Note 20 Ultra 3K (3088 *1440) which is a higher resolution than the iPhone 12 Pro Max (2788*1284, which is even less than the industry standard of 1440p). Higher is better as it means more pixels and higher resolution. 6) Highest contrast ratio is not infinite, it is 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio (stated above in this article). All OLED is given 'infinite' contrast ratio, again this was already awarded to the Note 20 Ultra so cannot be given to iPhone 12 Pro Max as they did not break any record. 7) Highest full screen contrast rating in ambient light already belongs to Note 20 Ultra (236 for 100% apl), even Oneplus 8T got 184 for 100% apl. The iPhone 12 Pro Max got the lowest 172 at 100% apl. (Higher is better, as stated on displaymate's own website). If they were going to make stuff up they should have done a better job. You can see for yourself everything I stated is true by visiting displaymate and looking at rating for these phones. I'll even help you with the links below: iPhone 12 Pro Max: https://www.displaymate.com/iPhone_12Pro_ShootOut_1P.htm#Display_Records Oneplus 8T: https://www.displaymate.com/OnePlus_8T_ShootOut_1T.htm#Display_Records Note 20 Ultra: https://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note20_ShootOut_1N.htm#Display_Records

Yessir only 6.1 inches Edit: not original but your kid is cute

As I like shooting with a real standard focal lens (for many reasons), I must say I am a little disappointed by Apple choice on the 12 Pro max. I hope next gen will have a real 45 / 50 mm equiv. "standard" lens + a 75 / 85 "real" portrait one. Sorry Apple, but a 52 mm should not be considered as a "telephoto" lens. Last but not least, f2 on the 52 mm 12 Pro is also better than f2.2 on the 65 mm in terms of light. PD. I exclusively shoot in DNG with Lightroom Mobile on an Xs and I am curious to compare Adobe raw files with Apple ProRaw

What’s the name of the game in 1:24 ??

At 4:31 are you taking that video from behind the glass bec if you look in the sky you will see a ring of lights next to the tower on the left hand side not sure if you caught a phenomena in the sky or light reflections . Lol

3:47 Italian chestnuts??? what? Portuguese!!! from Portugal.

6.7*

6:07 I would like this, but even Android segments phones with camera systems. The Galaxy S20 Ultra/Note 20 Ultra have different camera systems than the S20, S20+ and Note 20. Even the S20+ has a different camera system than the S20.

Very nice 🤩🤩🤩

Okayyy

I’m waiting for next year’s model with hopefully that new camera system + a high refresh rate screen. Same thing with their new macs. I think the next iteration of all of apple’s devices are gonna be what people will wanna get for long term use with a peace of mind.

Z fold 2 or iphone 12 pro max

Hi Dave, we hope you are well. Enjoyed your detailed explanation of the iPhone 12 Pro MAX, sounds like this is the pick for photography enthusiasts over the Pro 12. Have you tried MOBELEASH? It is a "virtual-leash" App that will notify you on your Apple Watch WHEN you are leaving your iPhone behind ... so you can go get it! Thank you, Dave. From MOBELEASH Support.

I have the 12 Max 512GB. Battery life is noticeably worse than my 11 Max. Hmmmn

I don't think Apple is going to move towards the same camera system next year for the Pro and Pro Max. They figured out how they can sell more Pro Max's so they're not about to kill the Golden Goose. I'm coming from an iPhone XR and before that an iPhone 6 Plus so I'm looking at the iPhone 12 Pro Max as a multi-year purchase (probably at least 4 years). The time has finally arrived with the iPhone 12 Pro Max where I won't mind leaving my Sony RX100 (and iPad Air 2) at home. It's a big phone but especially when I'm on vacation, it's nowhere as a big as having to pack my iPad Air 2.

why everyone saying that its super big 💀 i find it small compared to my iphone 8+ its the same size 🤠

OMG!! Are you serious!! A RACCOON??? Hahaha! That clip made this video AWESOME!!! I kept replaying the video just to see the LOOK on that raccoon's face when you opened the garbage bin.. LOL 🤣 🤣 Thanks! Awesome video!

OMG is that Mini Dave in the videos? So adorable! Awesome review as always. I may be jumping ship from the Pixel 5 for the 12 Pro Max... My first iPhone ever, should I enter the walled garden? The Pixel 5 just isn't cutting it for me, I'm very underwhelmed by it coming from my Galaxy Note 9.

Hi Dave - where did you buy the lights behind you???

I really really don’t understand why do you make a big deal about the size of this phone not only you but most of the bloggers this phone size it’s nothing so outrageous is even smaller then the new note This phone is the most amazing phone screen quality overall a very luxurious phone

No silly intro, straight to the point, no pulling a silly face in the thumbnail, 👍👍👍

A phone manufacturer understanding sensor size matters more than number of megapixels👍👍👍👍👍👍

Should I get the gold or white ?

Wow I never knew this was going to be true, until I contacted IIFRANK230 on Instagram and I was given a brand new iPhone 12 pro max, I can't believe it

Always waiting for next year

Thanks for FREE Apple Branding.

Apple is not what U think. Appleharmedme.blogspot.com

Dave where can I buy that light bulb behind you?
