Product details
This step is a leap. 5G becomes Pro. The A14 Bionic leaves all other smartphone chips behind. The Pro camera system takes low-light photography to the next level – with an even bigger leap in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. And the Ceramic Shield provides four times better drop resistance. Let's see what it can do.

Very good89/100
With a good camera including telephoto lens, colour-faithful OLED display, fast A14 processor and long battery life, the iPhone 12 Pro takes first place.
This test report belongs to a different type: iPhone 12 Pro Max (512 GB, Graphites, 6.70", SIM + eSIM, 12 Mpx, 5G)

With the 12, users of the predecessor model may nevertheless ask themselves whether the change is worth it, because the differences are limited...
