I jut got my iPhone 12 Pro Max for Christmas last year…. I just love it so much after four years having a iPhone 7plus. Just love the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Nothing wrong with it.
How is the battery?
I have a 12 pro max that I’m using as my daily driver in 2024, I’ve had it since December of 2020. Just got my battery replaced by Apple. I love this phone. It’s my favorite iPhone I’ve had so far. Still works great, no signs of slowing down, especially after the battery replacement. I plan to keep it for awhile longer.
How much does apple charge for battery replacement
@@loitersquad93mine was $89, and it comes with a warranty in case something happens. But I’ve been getting my battery replaced at Apple for awhile. My only advice is to make sure you have your password for Apple memorized when you go in. I forgot mine and had to come back in. Also get a appointment early in the day, and you’ll be in and out quickly.
If you can spend a bit more money getting the 13 pro or 13 pro max is better but on a budget the 12 pro max is still very solid in 2024
The 13 pro max has a issue with the screen going out
I got the iPhone 12 pro max. The 1st day came out 2020. My first iPhone 256 GB. And I still got it. I'm not gonna update yet. Your battery percentage 86%, that's not too shabby.
Definitely, still gets support for a decent while longer, even beating out some recently released Sony and ROG phones. Great value for money
Watching this on my 12 pro max
Same here
Me too
✌️🙋🏻♂️
I have the 12 Pro Max since it launched in 2021? Anyways, the battery health is at 77% right now with heavy gaming, charged using original charger and belkin charger only. Used google maps for 8+ hours everyday for my job. Alot of drops on hard floor almost every week during work with dents and scratches on the sides. And still never broke the screen. Phone is a tank!!!!
👏👏
Me using my 12 Pro Max since launch still running at 85% battery Health
Hello! I bought a 12 pro 128gb gold in december for 431 USD. Since then the performance is excellent. The phone is lag free runing on IOS 17.2.1. The cameras is still amazing for a 3 year old phone. I am happy with my purchase. The battery health is on 81% and the screen time is still great for me. I am planning to use this phone for 3 - 4 years. Before that i used a Xiaomi MI A2 4/64 gb.
how long does the battery last ? isn't 81% on the low side can it last 3-4 more years ?
where did you buy it?
@@Medbyo it’s not that bad it doesn’t start showing issues until 60 percent and u can always get the battery replaced u don’t have to buy a new phone the 12 pro is still recent 3 years old isn’t that bad
If I’m completely honest, I’m watching this iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is the very same size that my Mom is using currently she’s been using it for I think 6 to 10 months, now of her phone usage, but the colour is Pacific blue right now
I upgraded my IPhone 6 Plus from 2014 to the 12 Pro Max in 2021. I’ll literally use a phone until it’s literally unusable. This time I’ll wait until the IPhone 16 Pro Max comes out this year because I heard that Apple is gonna make significant changes to the next line up.
Yep and bigger screen 6.9 inches instead of 6.7 inches 🤔
I've been using an iPhone 12 Pro Max 500gb since 2021 and it still rocks in 2024. I have seen no reason to upgrade. I keep hearing about overheating issues, mine has never overheated. It is still running on the original battery and functions fine, there are no limitations whatsoever. I use the phone for everything. People are saying to get the 13 Pro Max instead, but the 12 Pro Max is known to take more accurate photos than the 13 Pro Max. At this point, those differences are probably negligible, with so many more camera features added on the 15 series. But if it's working, I'm going to hold off before spending $1500 on the latest iPhone. I don't see myself buying another iPhone until the 17 series, maybe the 16 series.
i believe the overheating issues r from new batteries, just got mine replaced and now my 12 pro max has turned into the sun, getting a couple lag spikes cos of the heating sometimes too.
Mines not charging have to hold the phone a certain way
I still have the 12 Pro Max since launch. Battery health is shot, but otherwise, pending a battery replacement, it still serves me well since I got it. 👍 I don't play mobile games anymore and I primarily use the phone for regular phone things, ride sharing apps, social media, and camera.
What's the bh of your phone now?
Same
@@maimonmridha6860 79% batt health now
My sister in law used to have this model and in the same white color but then she gave it to me two years ago as she was going to upgrade to a newer model. I accepted the offer and went from iPhone XR to this model and I'm very happy with it so far, the only weird thing is that it sort of turns itself off at random times (it doesn't completely turn itself off but shows a buffering circle, then comes back on) and it's slightly annoying but only happens occasionally and not often enough to be a problem really. So overall I'm happy I got this phone from my sister in law and it's definitely a very solid phone! :)
Have been using this phone since launch, replaced the battery 3 weeks back, i;e when this video was posted, and the phone feels like new to me, not letting it go anytime soon, using it like a beast everyday
How much was the battery replacement?
@@maimonmridha6860 it costed me 72$ in India
still currently using my 12 pro max blue and i don’t think im letting this go anytime soon, it came out 2020 so i know it’ll last me for a long time till further notice
Icl, I’m 20 and I’ve had an IPhone 8 Plus since 2019 and I’m finally getting a new phone, reason being is that technology isn’t important to me unless it’s making me money I don’t let it control my life I’ve been able to use my phone perfectly fine a I’ll be honest I’m getting a 12 pro max I don’t see the hype and necessity in new technology 🤷🏾♀️
@@_stp04 very smart to live well done my friend
I have a 1 tb iPhone 14 Pro Max and just ordered a 512gb iPhone 12 Pro Max 📲certified used 0 I only paid like $50 in tax from Verizon wireless ❤❤❤❤
I still use a 12 Pro Max I'm on my 2nd one due to 1st one being damaged by pressure washer water. who really needs to upgrade yearly? Apple should ask themself that instead of doing yearly releases.
Still happy with mine 3 years on
I’ve had my 12 Pro Max since 2020 and Nov 2024 will be 4 years, but I’ll be upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro and just go with the regular size iPhone since it got a bit annoying caring a big phone, I love how regular versions are very portable and pocket friendly
I got my 12 pro max at launch and got a battery replacement last year. Despite not having a nicer refresh rate its mostly the same as the new phones and what do you need a phone to do other than the normal social things. I'm probably going to keep mine until the 17 pro max
Hi Nick I have just seen you video for the iphone 12 pro max , I would like to thank you for sharing your experience and your opinion on that subject, a little advise could you tell me where I can get this device around 400 ~300 USD brand new sealed unlock.once again thank you for efforts have a nice day wish to have your reply see you O
am trying to get my first iphone and am thinking on 2 options there is a 12 pro max with 512 gb and the other is 13 max for the same price but 128 gb iplay games and a bit off a heavy user over all should i get 512 or make a sacrifice and get 128 thay are the same price so plz ppl who have used both could i get some advice
Had to sell my 14 pro max, cause of life currently able to get the 12 pro max for around $300 new idk if i should go for it and aim for upgrading to the 14/15 max by end of the year
You should make the same type of videos but with Samsung S series, it would be interesting! :)
Is there any risk of having an aod on the iphone 12 pro max?
Nice video
Got it when it came out. Only used it for few months. I hated that the battery gets hot at the back. After a while. Even watching a movie on it. It gets hot. Making it oncomfortable to hold.
11's do that too
Just change it
i heard it's already phased out. what will happen now if i still have iphone 12 pro max?
i loved your case on iphone 15 pro max
Watching on my 12 pm 🎉
Happy halloween nick! may 2024 bring you lots of
Sir plz how much price
Helloo Which battery do you recommend, the 13 normal or the 12 pro max? Some say the 12 pro max and others say the normal 13, I have that doubt!
12 pro max
12 pro max way more premium
12 Pro Max, it's faster than the base 13
Just bought one of these for my collection in mint condition 128gb for $260
The 12 pro max is fine and it does go toe to toe with the 15 pro max but only if you have 256gb and above. 128gb feels throttled for some reason
What do you mean feels throttled?
@@cain2k if the memory is full it might feels boged down...then i dont know if the memory speeds are faster for the 256gb version.
Do you have the regular 12 pro? If you do, can you do a review for it in 2024?
Only size difference All same
is 13 pro better?
I have an iPhone SE I'm upgrading from an iPhone SE 2nd to iPhone 12 Pro Max next month it's fits my budget
It’s not worth buying the 13 Pro Max in Alpine Green would be a great phone to get.
I'm going to buy used iPhone 12 or 13 pro max.. cause,,I'm tired of using Android phones,a& i know iPhones suits me because I don't need customisation and I focus on all rounder phones with a great optimisation and security ,not Android phones which some have too many bloatware s
First here hi Nick I dont have iphone but one day I'll own one ❤
Me and my XR we are here watching this and wandering how is it possible that we are still enjoying the life and we do not even think of upgrading until they get rid of that thing they call dynamic island
My quick answer is "No". As a bit of background, ... I've been using the XS for a couple of years now, after upgrading from the 7. My kids, meanwhile, upgraded from the X to the 13 Pro when the mid-year dark green model was released. I've always hated the weight of their phone. I was considering swapping to a 13 Mini when my XS loses the latest iOS. However, with the new Pros being Titanium, that idea is probably redundant - unless the new iPad Mini is released before I need to upgrade. Thanks, as always, for the content.
I’m on iPhone XR so the 12 pro max will feel like something quality to me
The iPhone mini is dead. If you have a XS get a battery replacement or upgrade to a 13 Pro for that ProMotion 120hz display. Hilarious.
It is still a nice phone the get for the money Tim Nick 🤣 That white looks beautiful. I
😂
Hi I am here cause I looking 👀 for the newest iPhone with sim and esim 😊
Still looks ok 👍🏾
Watching on my 12 pro max
Great phone family has it
I think 13/14 pro is good choice in 2024
NO. 👎
@@Morillon82 how pls
I’m on Xr 13 PM soon
I had the 13 pro max for 7 months and downgraded to a 12 pro max bc the screen broke on the 13 pm. I can give u the most honest review because I experienced both just recently. The 12 pro max is lighter, thinner, performs exactly the same and battery lasts like 20% less or so. The only thing i noticed was the 60fps (which i got used to in like 1 week) and now i don’t even feel i downgraded, it feels the same to me but just with less battery
Also, the 13 pm felt just too chunky, this 12 pro max is just better in hand. But battery is just worse but is still more than enough for a heavy user. I forgot that it charges at the same speed but lasts much less, which sucks
There’s also absolutely 0 lag on both. U can do whatever normal user tasks like media and photos and both performed the same to me and I consider myself very picky and I hate noticing any lag, but I felt the smoothness of both
How do you downgrade to a 12 pro max because you broke the 13 pro max screen ? Wouldn’t it make sense to just fix the screen and continue with life ?
Thank you for saying this. I was just thinking about downgrading to this from my 13 pm because my screen has issues where it wouldn’t respond to my touch screen sometimes and sometimes my camera has trouble focusing.
@@suprxmefire9497 I would try to look for a 90+ % battery life phone bc battery really sucks if you are used to the excellent battery on the 13 pm
For us with a average income and wanted to have a decent iphone this is the best phone
Can you do an iPhone 14?
Would you recommend getting it from Apple but refurbished?
Apples refurbished phones come with new batteries and new outer shell so I would say yes get from Apple
Bro can you do the iPhone 14 review also
I will eventually it's a tough recommend though due to 13
12 pro max or 13 which is a better upgrade,I’m currently using the Xs max
12 pro max
Why can I find a video should you keep your iPhone 12 Pro Max in 2024
Its just FOMO for which someone would upgrade as soon as the new comes out.. otherwise whats the need? To get a new nearly same looking and functioning thing.. its all psychological.. i know people who still use an iphone X V happily. They dont look for validation and would buy something they dont even have money for
I still use it 12 promax 256gb
Probably wait till my battery life drop below 50 percentage before I upgrade I’m at 86 now on my 12’pro max
how much 12 pro max $$$ ???

i just got it in gold Working amazing Alhamdulillah
12 pro max or 13 pro ..?? which one is best.??? please tell🙏🙏
13 pro😊
Rather than this, I would recommend to get 13 Pro or 13 Pro Max
100% agreed
Green screen issue😢
What about the regular one 13 instead of 12 pro max?
Do a 14 plus please
Is the iphone 12 pro better than the normal iphone 13?
No.😊
This phone 12 pro max is very durable and reliable but iphone 15 pro max not as durable and bad heat management due to the new material (titanium)
The best iPhone 📱 👍
Where can I purchase a brand new iPhone 12 pro max online?
I think it depends on the country you are in? In my country which is Philippines, mostly second-hand phones of 12 pro max/pro and even 11 are sold and available here
I’m thinking of getting this mainly just to play pubg mobile for when I’m not home.
Short: Yes
How much is the price of this phone?
600 dollars in singapore
No 120hz, no SmartHDR5, no Qi 2, low battery, why should you buy it?
Cheapest pro max phone with the squared design that only the 14 pro max just used and has 5g
$400 😂😂 idk Nick this iPhone in excellent condition 256-512gb goes for $500-570 at best idk what websites your looking through
I have XR it’s cheaper a lot more than the 13 pro max I don’t know tho
Ehhhhh I feel like you have better options like a 13 pro but the 12 pro max is still very solid
Exacto.👍
You do for sure, but this iPhone is like $800 cheaper than new price
@@nickackermanchannel excelent reason
I agree to that 👍
But iPhone 12 pm have a small battery 😢
I can't find any iPhone 12 pro max's brand new and sealed its like they are hiding from me in the internet.
Simple change your battery easy fix
I would get the original iphone se instead of
Buy it unless a brand new costs over $450.
Any upcoming android content? Last 17 videos have been iphone videos, a phone I've never had and refuse to get.
Maybe, will see. If you want more Android content check out my second channel more nick ackerman
I’m swapping my 12 to 12 pro max
Seems like a waste if it's 60 hz. Better off just getting a regular 13 or 14.
Why those are 60hz too
@@slaybqby Yeah but they’re about the same price with better specs. Only thing this phone has is the telephoto lens which imo isn’t that useful
I mean if u like big phones and the 14 plus is around the same price it is a decent option but if you mean regular 13 or 14 they are smaller phones and people wanting a pro max probably want a big phone
@@slaybqby Sure, but for me the regular phones are big enough. You get more screen in a smaller form than the previous plus sized phones like the iPhone 6s Plus thanks to having no large bezels.
Fair enough
I gave my 12 pro max to my daughter and upgraded to the 15 pro max
Reason not to buy 12 pro max in 2024 1/ touch response super slow 2/ 60hz 3/ internet suck if you live in a place not fully covered network 4/ High price you’d better get a new android midrange phone with 90fps pubg capability chipset and 512gb/12gb ram
Bro, I still use iPhone 12 Pro Max still this day in 2024 😂🫠… while I am not planning to upgrade until iPhone 17
Bro thinking he can stop anyone buying 12 pro max, you're not just a clown, you're the WHOLE CIRCUS 😂😂🤡🤡
@@ZephyrGhost😂😂😂
worst iphone i’ve ever had, the design looks outdated, and 60hz, the phone overheated too much, it gets scratched easily, screen dims randomly even when it’s all the way up
That’s cause you have adaptive brightness on
No , better buy iPhone 13PM
What a weird video title. Just get a 13 or 14 pro max. Last longer anyway. Smh
I can get one from a known friend for 250bucks, yall think i should get it?
No buy 13 pro max
13 pro max is much better than this
No 13 better
Can you please give me this phone😊?
60hz lol
Can I have a free iPhone 😅
No, DO NOT BUY IT EVER, buy the 13 pro, wayyyy better
Overheating issues, battery drain issues, front speaker issues, screen dimming under sunlight,
And more above that, sad 60hz display, no ProRes, no night vision mode, no cinematic mode,
Its crazy man.🤔
