iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone 12 Pro Max - a keeper?

I have seen Apple gives a few members here a hard time on this forum with returning stuff...but i can’t remember a specific case.

For me, i once returned a Nikon camera ($2300 worth) to Best Buy (unopened!) and they banned me from returning anything for 1 year! So, it is always on my mind whenever i “try” stuff from Apple.

Indeed, Best BUy does indeed do tracking (well, they use a third party to do the tracking - or at least they did). And would ban buyers who had a large number of returns.

Has there ever been a point where apple bans you for excessive returns? I've never heard of any. I return so many things on amazon they actually sent me a, "is there anything we can do better" after stating they noticed my returns lol

a few years ago a friend of my returned a phone 5 times at Best Buy for different (nitpick, OCD) reasons. After the 5th time they told him he cant return it anymore.

If you don't mind turning off True Tone it goes away. That's what I did.

Yep it really is that simple. Then setting color temperature

Whats updated in the display that makes it better than the 11PM? It looks better but Im wondering if there's actual tangible changes?

Nothing on spec sheet...but DisplayMate thinks that 12PM panel is significantly better.

I absolutely LOVE MY PB PM!!! This is the best phone Apple HAS EVER CREATED!!!

With the Kumquat Orange Case... I'm in HEAVEN!!! ?

Camera's are amazing, battery life is insane, and the return to "flat" sides is very much welcome ??????.

So glad I upgraded from Xs Max ??.

I have an issue with the 12 Pro Max. Charged it to 100 percent at 11pm last night. Wanted to see how much the battery dropped in standby mode. Checked at 5pm this afternoon and it had dropped to 56 percent. A 44 percent battery loss in standby mode in 18 hours. Nothing is running in the background.

I'm charging it up to 100 percent now and gonna try it again to see what happens.

What does indexing mean?

Basically downloading when new. Files etc.

OK no then. I'm testing it again now.

Why test this over so many hours of not using a wonderful phone? Just enjoy the phone! If battery is not as good, then you have to wait anyways to see if future updates fix it.

Even though it’s on standby there still cell signal strength to take into account. To many variables.

I can’t believe weight is a factor for some people, no offense but we are talking grams here. I don’t want to sound like a meathead because I workout but weight is the last factor I’d think about with a phone

The weight thing as a deciding factor has always baffled me. I remember people complaining about the weight of the iphone 4!

Battery life on this thing is insane! 3hr26min screen on time and it’s only dropped to 77%
