Apple's biggest phone to date excels as a photographic tool, especially in the dark.

It sets a new bar for low-light photography, even if the bar isn't drastically higher than the competition. If you like big phones, you'll love the massive screen. Excellent battery life. Also makes phone calls.

Expensive. No 120-Hz refresh rate or USB-C port, two features commonly found on other large phones at this price.

Terrific camera; Tremendous battery life; Fast performance

Very close to being too big; 60Hz screen behind competition at this price; I was required to think about 5G

Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max has a lot in common with its smaller sibling. Think: a new design, expansive 5G network support and amazing performance, to name just a few. Because they're so similar, we think the smaller iPhone 12 and 12 Pro are better options for most people, but if you can handle an...

Best-in-class performance; Big and beautiful screen; Improved triple-camera system

It’s an iPhone 12 Pro, only bigger. The super-long battery life is the real draw here, while the improved camera doesn’t offer much benefit over the already-fantastic iPhone 12 Pro.

Best battery life ever in an iPhone, A slightly better camera than the iPhone 12 Pro, Blazing fast performance

Camera improvements are minimal

Turn the screen on and it looks magnificent: spacious, rich and immersive
