What is going on, everybody?
, it is Mike, welcome back to Tech 24/7 TV.
I'm super excited to have you here today because I am
unboxing my iPhone 12 Pro Max.
I went down to the store today, and you were
really surprised just how many people are in line
at the store.
Really, I say there are about 150 people there and
it looks deceiving.
But I'm telling you, the line wrapped all the way
around the store.
But less of that and more of unboxing.
So here we have the iPhone 12.
Pro Max So this is going to be in gold, my favorite color,
gold, and this is 512 gigabytes.
I'm actually going to keep this phone for myself.
And the iPhone 12 Pro that I'm using right here from this
camera is I'm going to give that to my wife.
So we are going to unbox this.
Now, I love gold.
I thought it actually still looks the best out of all the
other colors that are available, including the
blue Pacific blue.
Now, as I'm unboxing, this guy's I have a lot of
other content planned.
I have some minis coming in.
I have that HomePod mini.
So make sure you click subscribe, turn on
notifications so you can be there when that content drops.
Let's go ahead and let's do the thing here.
So this is the iPhone twelve Pro Max case and the
iPhone 4s us.
It's quite comical how small this is.
If you're coming from something that was like iPhone five,
this is super tiny compared to this.
Look at I mean, that's like mini-me.
This is pretty small, but let's get on with the unboxing.
Oh, that sweet, sweet sound.
The angels sing.
There it is, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, so like I said,
it's in gold.
Again, this is just beautiful.
This is probably my favorite color.
It looks so clean, so crispy.
Wow.
This thing is actually huge.
I wish I had my 11 Pro Max.
I actually had to turn it in last night.
Last night was.
Ah, yes.
It was the last day that I had to turn it in for my I do the
iPhone upgrade program and thankfully they don't make you
turn in the phone when you leave the store, you have up to
three weeks, which was just it was my last day and I
turned that in.
This does feel big.
Let's take a look here.
So here is this.
This is the iPhone 12, This is the blue color.
So just for some perspective, boy, this is
pretty freaking big in comparison.
Wow.
Yeah, that is quite, quite monstrous if I
do like this.
That's a good deal bigger than the iPhone 12.
And I found one pro I mean, it's yeah, that is big.
OK, let's see what else is in the box.
We have obviously the USB-C cable, which we all know
and love, and we have a bigger package here, the SIM
ejector tool, which is standard.
And we have one sticker and this sticker is larger than the
sticker that came in the other box, which is
kind of funny.
All right.
So here's this bad boy.
Again, this is gold.
This feels quite large.
And I think it feels larger because of the way that the
bezels are sorry.
The sides are flat and not rounded.
So for me,
this is quite big.
Wow.
You can kind of gather my thoughts here on how
big this is.
So let's put this in a case.
I make a funny noise.
Let's put this in a case to.
To get a kind of grip on it, I like the way this feels.
I like the color, but you know that, right?
I like the color.
And it's certainly clear because I got two phones,
the same color.
This is quite big.
OK, let's let's peel off this plastic here.
Right at display is quite large.
See, there's the iPhone 12 Pro in the reflection.
Now, while this is powering on, it's going to take
a long time to power out and set up.
It's set up is never an easy thing.
Wow, this is huge.
All right.
So I'm going to set up this other phone here using my
existing iPhone 12 and.
We're going to put this down here now, what I liked about
the iPhone 12 pro was the size of the screen, but for me
at least, I had difficulty typing on it.
Right.
Like, not that it was hard to type, but my hands were used
to typing on a larger phone like what you see here.
And that's really the reason why I got this over or over
keeping the iPhone 12 pro wherever it is.
I think it's right here.
It's.
So that's the reason why I decided to get this and also
because of the camera being much better on this phone,
see here we're doing the side.
Um, let's transfer from phone.
Oh, no, actually, I went.
Let's go back download from iCloud because I can't transfer
from my phone because actually the phone I use every day is
this iPhone 12 pro that's actually doing the recording.
And I don't want to it's right now it's an airplane mode
because I didn't want to get any notifications and interrupt
the recording because that would be a total pain,
especially for people who are watching this,
because that footage unusable.
So I have set up my device actually, I'm setting it
up is brand new.
Not going to set it up as existing.
Let's make sure that there's no software updates on this
are the box.
There is 14.2 To.
All right, so let's go ahead and.
Update that degree, yada, yada, yada.
OK, so that's that is downloading.
Who will it stay?
That's a good question, as long as they don't touch the table
is probably going to be a thing.
So this is quite large.
I am very excited to use it and put it through a test,
especially from a videography and photography standpoint,
because obviously, this has got some advanced characteristics.
I guess maybe not characteristics,
features it has advanced features for the camera lens
that the iPhone to approach doesn't have because of the
size of the phone and they're able to put some more
stuff in there.
So I'm very eager to test that out.
Let me know if there's anything specific that you want me to go
ahead and test out in relation to the iPhone 12 Pro Max
against the iPhone 12 pro.
Now, like I said in the beginning, I got a ton of
other content planned in terms of iPhone 12 Pro,
iPhone 12 Pro Max.
I have accessory builds for some holiday bundles in
addition to some homemade mini and home automation stuff.
So make sure you are subscribed, turn on
notifications because you wouldn't be alerted when all
that new stuff comes out, right?
That's that's the way to go.
I am Mike, this is tech 24/7 TV.
It's great talking to you.
I'll see you in the next video.
