Weird flex but om
If you are planning to keep your phone for about 4-5 years like me, the pro is the one to pick 👍
My exact reasoning behind this purchase... I came from a 7 Plus I‘ve had since launch. There’s no doubt the 12 Pro Max is going to last a good 5 Years.
@@Themichaelwesten yeah exactly. My friend bought the iphone 6s+ when it launched and used it until the iphone 12 came out. He bought the 12 pro max and gave his old iphone to his mom which was still working like a charm 💯
I mean I got a 12 mini and I’m still going to use it for at least 4 years. I used the 6s for the last 5
@@chethiyashakya127 I have a 6s+ that I’ve had since launch and still currently using. I upgraded to a iPhone 12 but haven’t transferred over yet.
I have both and went back to the pro, the pro max is just clumsy and heavy. Great phone but the pro is right there in the sweet spot.

Good review! I really love to take good pictures from my iPhone X, there are a lot of good scenery here where I live in Boston. But that same good experience showed me that there is a big limit of what the iPhone X camera can do, specially for long distance shots and low light. So, it made sense for me to update to the new iPhone 12 Pro; it main selling feature is that new camera lenses. But at the same time I discovered about the mirrorless cameras that have been around for a few, they have gotten pretty good dealing with those same issues, have gotten cheaper and smaller. If you are like me looking for a better picture shooting experience, want better pics or just good scenery shoots to put in your Instagram the iPhone camera will ALWAYS underperform when you compare it with those cameras. And the main issue actually, is the price, you can get a very good mirrorless camera from a good brand like Canon, Sony or Nikon and they will be cheaper that this iPhone. And if you are like me, is very frustrating when you have the idea of this perfect pic in your mind and the iPhone camera don't delivers, and it never will. For this price range you can make the sacrifice of staying with your old iPhone for a bit more and put this investment towards a good camera (even a good point and shoot), having an extra gadget will be worth it.
you answered all my questions brother. thank you
“Gathers more fingerprints than the CSI employee of the month” actually love that

I definitely went with the 12 Pro for that 2x zoom... ever since they took it off the cheaper phones I've missed it. I kinda wanted to go for the Max for the extra camera features and better battery life, but a 6.1-inch iPhone was already bigger than I wanted (I originally went for the 12 mini and loved that size), so I just didn't think I'd like the 6.7-inch screen on the 12 Pro Max.
I’ve upgraded from the iPhone 8 to the 12 pro, so this is a huge jump for me. I gotta wait 6 weeks for delivery though. Lol.
Ok
Meanwhile, me with my old iPhone 5:
Congrats. No home button, a notch and 5g that you probably cant use.
Ok
yea that’s the right choice
2:58 - has new Xbox 5:56 - has a lot of photos on the phone of the ps5 6:48 - seems to have the new HomePod mini He really does get everything early

Other than having a lot of techs early, you also get to become famous and can meet other famous or successful people too. There are many youtube videos teaching people how to become a youtuber, and these are all well know perks of the job. But so? there are many down sides too.
👍👍
6:48 he blurred it out😂
living ahead of time
Personally I just don’t like how big the Max is. I want the best phone in the pro size, so just the pro is what I’m going with.
I agree with you man but I’m forced to buy the iPhone 12 pro max because I want the better battery 🔋 better camera 📷 and screen size. The only thing I hate about big phones is when it’s in my pocket but I guess I’ll have to suck it up for the features it has. By the way I’m upgrading from an iPhone 7 Plus so an upgrade is much needed and deserved I had my phone since 2017.
I don’t know what’s up with people not liking big phones in the pocket. Man I just rock it. People look at my pocket and I’m like yeah I got a big phone. You see it lol.
Thats why I got the pro its only 100$ difference.
Yeah it doesn't help that iOS isn't optimized for larger displays. There's no split-screen functionality or proper one-handed mode
Nah the 12 pros small af. The max screen is worth it for watching videos. I got the blue one
I was also deciding between the 12 and 12pro. I got the 12 pro for the size and especially the build quality. The iPhone 12's aluminum body is bound to get more chips and scratches. I upgraded from the SE 1st gen. Hoping to keep the 12 pro for a long time.
MKBHD literally every 2seconds : "BUTT!"
Cant blame him, iphone 12 pro is great BUTTT it sux.
Trouble with the max is the size. Most of us don’t want a giant phone.
yh lmao my tiny ass hands could never use a pro max daily
that's not what she said
6.7 inches, what were they thinking
@@parth1424 its the size of my Samsung 8+ with case not that big

One thing that I love MKBHD when reviewing smartphone is his HONESTY. He doesn't hesitate to tell what's good and what's bad.
But he's always inclined to favour apple and trash Samsung in his videos
I totally agree , honest and non biased reviews . Good job man . Cheers .

yeah, the pros are usually for an alternative screen size or camera shots but the 12 is good enough for avg users

Very useful and well argued advice; go for 12 for ‘value’, but if (mite) need more memory and the best/best camera, battery and size, go for the 12 pro Max - just make sure your financial advisor / bank manager / bank account is on the same wavelength ... Good video mate, thanks.
