iPhone 12 Pro Max (128GB) - Pacific Blue

This is my first iPhone bought about two years ago when the 13s were coming out. I didnt regret not getting the latest model then and I feel no particular pressure to upgrade to the current 14 pros. I am happy with my purchase. Compared to the newer models you maybe missing on the higher refresh rate display (120hz on the pro models) and the smaller notch on the 13 pros or the dynamic island on the newer 14s. Apart from that the 'apple' experience is the same. the build quality is just as good and the camera is still excellent even now almost three years later.Coming from a galaxy note: If you are from an android experience the one thing you will be giving up is the freedom to install whatever app you want and customising to your heart's content. If you have also invested in a wider tech ecosystem (speakers, lights, home camera) you should check compatibility with iOS before making the switch. Alexa is a great compromise as it works with either OS.

It's an amazing iPhone - and if it were half the weight it is, you would need force to persuade me to release it. I think weight is a declared attribute and therefore I have not deducted stars...The camera is extraordinary: 8 years ago I had a proper Canon SX50 (which replaced my 400D of 5 years earlier) - bottom of the upper-mid-range cameras. This is better! - and enormously easy to use ("point and shoot" used to mean awful, "but" NOT now).For the record, nobody else paid for the camera (I bought it on my standard Amazon account) and nobody has even talked to me about paying for a review) - it was entirely my decision, without any encouragement, to get this iPhone!Having said that, I have reluctantly returned it... ONLY because its weight is (just) too much for a shirt pocket. I think I will be sorry, but I am going to try the 12 Pro - as a lighter version. If I used a wallet, trouser pocket, or handbag, I would definitely have kept it.

Ok... this is by far the best phone on the market... fast, reliable... i bought it for the camera and no suprises here. You cannot compare it to iphone 12, even pro is not taking pictures as impressive as this. Even if you are bad with camera, you can impress with this...Battery life is shockingly good although i take quite alot of pictures and watch videos. Before i bought, thought might be too big, but screen size is ideal to watch videos, spend time with your phone. Sound quality is top...Value for money ? Well, it is quite expensive, but it is a high end product. When you pay this money, you are looking for a superb phone and here it is. You get what you pay for...

Bought this and the Ipad Pro 12.9. Really impressed. Great camera, battery life and straight forward to use. Has a quality feel around the build.

Ok, yes this is a brilliant phone especially video & photo quality. It’s a great phone, however if I were to add any negs at all I would say the battery isn’t any longer or durable on this make as it is on other iPhones & I’ve had a few. Price wize I’d say its not worth wot I paid. I’d have to say absolutely not. You’re paying for the name at the end of the day. If someone was to say to me, pay wot you think it’s worth, I’d go with Pheraps £800.

Ok

One thing I would vouch for is the battery life. With moderate use , you need to charge it only every other day or even third day.

Love it. It’s my 5th Apple phone and wouldn’t buy any other. Every part of it is of the usual high standard. Only down side is it doesn’t work with my ERS wireless charger so I’ve had to purchase a new one.
