I’ve had my 12 Pro Max since launch and I still feel such a sense of enjoyment and satisfaction each time I pick it up and use it. It’s just such a joy to use, it feels so nice and comfortable to hold, the camera(s) are incredible, all my friends are commenting on how good my photos are since I got it. I literally don’t have a single complaint about it. It looks and feels and works like such a premium and luxury product.

I think this is my favourite Apple device and phone upgrade ever.

I know this post is kinda pointless but I feel like every time I come on here all I see is people criticising and moaning about stuff so I just wanted to post about how pleased I am with my phone.

There’s a few things I wish it had which was pro motion and hoping we see spilt screen multitasking in iOS 15 but no issues at all with my 12 pro max. Great device and battery life is so great I never need to worry about it. Camera I would say with pro raw is the best camera or at very worse top 2-3. Not that I’m taking loads at Home but it is what it is

Which colour did you get?
Love my pacific blue pro max, it’s so fast compared to my old XR, battery life is great and I’m getting great reception with the qualcomm modem.
Gonna be keeping mine for at least a couple years.

I went back and forth on upgrading from the XS Max but am really happy that I did. The camera and ProRAW are excellent and signal performance has been a significant improvement. This is the first phone I've found myself picking up to use a lot. A real winner for me.

11 pro max battery > 12 pro max. Also 12 is heavier, screen more yellow and ergonomically less easy to use.
I pretty much disagree with everything you mentioned except maybe the warmer screen? So regarding the color temperature of the display I wouldn’t have really noticed if I didn’t read these forums. I have solace knowing that practically the majority of these screens have this color temperature or some variation of it. It doesn’t bother me enough to not enjoy the phone or sell it for top dollar when the time comes like I did the 11 pro max back in October.

I think your observations pretty much represent most people who have bought an iPhone 12 device, not just the 12 Pro Max. I’ve got a standard iPhone 12 and am thoroughly happy with the product too.

There are some issues with black levels at low brightness settings, but show me a phone display with an all white background that can hit 850 nits of brightness at any time and place? There isn’t one.

The Galaxy S20 Ultra has a Record Peak Brightness of 1,342 nits, which is 10% higher than on the Galaxy S10. See the Brightness and Contrast, the High Ambient Light and the Screen Reflections sections for the measurements and details. The Galaxy S20 Ultra can play 4K High Dynamic Range content made for 4K UHD TVs. ???
