Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review

The biggest and best iPhone you can currently buy

Huge, beautiful screen ; Surprisingly capable speakers ; Excellent sound via headphones

Marginal gains over iPhone 12 ; No bundled charger

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the biggest and best iPhone ever made, but it is now only marginally better than the standard iPhone 12

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review: The maximum experience

We've been using the new Max model to find out if it's just about going big, or whether there is more to this iPhone than the others in the range.

Great cameras ; 5G connectivity when you need it ; Big and bold screen ; Design is large but not awkward ; A14 Bionic processing power

Low-light photography enhancements could be better ; Much the same experience as the cheaper (and smaller) iPhone 12 Pro

Such a large phone that it won't be to everyone's liking, but if you want big then this iPhone delivers without making the form-factor awkward to hold or use.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review

Is bigger really better? The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is a sizeable smartphone that doesn't know the meaning of compromise

Excellent new design ; Impressive camera set-up ; Lovely large display ; Almost unreasonably powerful

No ProMotion/120Hz display ; Edges are a fingerprint magnet ; Lightning instead of USB-C ; Big, bulky and heavy

The only choice if you want to fully Max your iPhone experience, but make sure that’s you before plonking down any cash

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

Apple has resisted the huge phablet-style screens of its competitors in previous launches, but the iPhone 12 Pro Max has huge screen nonetheless, measuring 6.7-inches. While largely unavailable to buy new, it's still popular in the refurbished and...

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a super-size phone with all the flagship features. But is it the one for you?

Fantastic battery life ; Stunning screen ; Stereo sound ; Awesome at photography

It’s really large ; Heavy ; Expensive

If you want the latest and greatest Apple has to offer, and have pockets deep enough to do so, then the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the smartphone you’re looking for.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max review: For the love of big screens

With its sensor-shift stabilisation technology and wider sensor, all eyes are on the iPhone 12 Pro Max's camera. Does it deliver?

Sleek design ; Gorgeous screen ; Insane performance ; Excellent cameras ; Dolby Vision recording ; Long battery life ; Crazy loud speakers

Main wide camera not significantly better ; Still not USB-C ; No expandable storage ; Pricey ; No charger and headphones
