I received a Gold 128GB iPhone 12 Pro Max a few days ago. It is a stunning looking phone. I don't find the 12 Pro Max too heavy or too big having coming from a iPhone 6S+. The fit and finish on the phone I received is impeccable. I have read posts from people about uneven gaps around the frame where the glass meets the frame. On the phone I received, there is no such gap that I can observe. The display has no observed yellow tinting issue that I can observe. In short, I am loving the looks and feel of this phone.
I have a Silver 256GB iPhone 12 Pro Max coming. I had, for a short period of time, a Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro Max. This might seem strange to hear but the Pacific Blue was too much of the same blue. The reason I really like the Gold and Silver finishes, is the difference in color on the back and sides, which was not the case with the Pacific Blue.
