Welcome everyone to Ricky's tech talk and it's finally here today is the day that we
unbox and take our first look at the brand's new iPhone 12 pro max and apple slated this
as it's a leap year in technology movements as 5g has gone pro so let's get our device unboxed we're
going to go through the setup together and also share some key information so as you'll notice
like the s21 the packaging has shrunk as well for this one it's unbelievably different
compared to my iPhone 11 pro max which I will show a side-by-side comparison but on top is our device
and you've got like the shadow effect and it has an embossed design on the side is the word iPhone
and on top is your apple logo you'll notice both the word iphone and this logo is in gold colour
this represents the colour your device is there's four different colors to choose from but we'll
talk about that a little bit later on just to let you know this is a 128-gigabyte model version
so let's get on with the unboxing and like the s21 this is going to be quite quick now
to take our lid off sat on top is our device can't wait to test this out it's been such a long time
so let's just take our device a new design a new a style which echoes the iphone 4s and the iphone 5
with squared designs now around the borders so we have a chamfered edge that goes around the corners
but a very squared design which actually looks really nice and I can't wait to get it tested
a large display as well so in the box what we've got we've got our lightning to USB c cable now so
a lot of people complaining that they don't have a USB c plug so you need to go and buy a new plug or
for me luckily either my mac mini or my MacBook pro can actually have this connection and
will charge very quickly or you can buy the brand new mac safe which charges wirelessly
which i'll be showing in a future video so we've got lightning to usb c cable there at the top
you've got designed by apple in california this will have a quick start guide but also i've got
an apple sticker here thank you to vodafone who provided this device and also on top is a sim tool
so my sim card is already inserted but that's all we get in the box
that's all you get now which is unbelievable compared to when you first got an iphone you had
i think for the first ever one there was a dock there was headphones there was multiple cables you
had a plug you had so much now so apple reduced electronic waste to try and help the environment
but also if you still need a cable you're gonna have to go and buy this on top of your device so
yes it saves money somewhere for apple but for us as consumers potentially could be more expensive
so let's see our phone to the side here our box and let's take a look at our brand's new phone
it is a beautiful design this sort of chamfered edge looks absolutely glorious in stainless steel
design glass on the front and the back as well do recommend putting it in a case and we do have our
camera hump there so not as big as the s21 ultra that i've just shown on the channel but we do have
quite a large camera hump there so down the right hand side is your power button i do like the gold
actually so let's just power our device on so it does have a vodafone sim card in it which is 5g
and i'm going to explore a 5g area which is very close to me very soon so we're greeted with hello
and it's going to start saying hello in different languages hola swipe up to begin so now we're
going to go through the setup process before we do this there's a couple of accessibility options
i just want to highlight to you so if you press the power button three times voiceover on clog
button 21 battery power not charging cellular status bar item
slack down with three fingers to reveal notifications
swipe up with three fingers to reveal the control center double tap to scroll to top so it gives us
options there and that's really good to see three quick clicks again voice over off voiceover is now
off there's also other options for magnification so with three fingers one two three i can zoom in
as well to my display which is really helpful for me as someone that's visually impaired i
need to maybe change these accessibility settings but we do have quite a large display here from
apple which is great to see and then finally they've added in accessibility options again
by pressing holding the power button we can actually see an accessibility menu here so if
we're going to accessibility we've got a range of different options inside here to change and adjust
making it easier for you to use your device so i'm going to quickly just jump in and change the
text size changing the text size makes it easier for the setup process to continue so if you have
your other iphone so i do here it's going to bring that in here i can actually set up straight away
from this iphone if i want to but i'm just going to take you through the setup process now on a new
iphone so there is that option to copy all of my data over very quickly so english then we're going
to choose united kingdom so as it just said there about the quick start guide option so i can bring
in my iphone transfer all of my data and it's done instantly however i'm not going to at the moment
then it's going to ask you to connect your wi-fi and i'm going to actually skip this
because we're using the mobile data then it will activate your iphone you will need a sim card in
your iphone to do this so you've got data and privacy you have to agree to this to use it we
then have face id so the iphones are still using face id but there are rumors that the brand new
iphone 13 series will actually use touch id again because we can't actually use face id with face
masks and coverings that we need to wear at the moment so i'm going to set up face id to continue
i'm going to look at my camera here so put my face in the and then all you do is draw a circle
hit continue now just draw a circle again and as you may see i'm actually filming on
the samsung s21 ultra 5g to see how the 8k footage actually comes out so this has been recorded in 8k
to continue so create a passcode and this is always recommended to do so then you have
apps and data so you can restore from icloud backup restore from your mac or pc transfer
directly from an iphone move data from android or don't transfer apps and data so i'm going
to choose don't transfer then you're going to need to sign in with your apple id if you don't have an
apple id you can create one very easily so you'll need your apple id to buy apps to buy movies to
use different services you may have an apple one account which provides all services together sort
of apple music apple tv apple fitness all together news so you will need an apple id either sign
in or sign up very easy so i'm just going to sign in with mine now then we move on to apple's terms
and conditions you can read through all of these i'm just going to agree here next is about keeping
your phone up to date we recommend doing this then you have location services again i agree to this
to get the best use out of my device apple pay so we can set up apple pay to use apple paying shops
to use online and it will pull my cards down for me i'll actually set this up later as you
don't need to see my credit card details then we have siri so you press to ask for siri continue
so improve siri and dictations yes agree to this screen time which is really important as a lot of
you know at the moment we're at home screen time does need to be kept to a minimal if possible
we don't want to be on our phones all of the time so make sure you put your devices down
get up have a walk do some housework i've just started doing a puzzle for the first time
just get out and do something but screen time you can really keep an eye on and i'll actually
talk more about screen time in a future video then you have iphone analytics i agree to this
and app analytics yes i agree to this true tone display so you can see what the difference is
here and i'm hoping the camera picks that up always use a true tone display then what do
you want to go for the light side or the dark side snowballs fan here go for the dark side
display zoom just making it a little bit easier for you to read just depending on you i'm going
to just stick to normal welcome to iphone swipe up yes and our iphone is all set up and ready to go
so we're just getting some stuff pop up here i'll go through these and then we'll go through the key
details of the brand's new iphone so first of all starting with the color options you've got silver
graphite gold which we have or the pacific blue so that is bit like the midnight green that we had on
the iphone 11 pro max last year so let's just talk quickly before we go on to key details about the
actual design so it has a ceramic shield on the front and it has a textured matte glass on the
back and it offers a stainless steel design around the outer edge which looks really nice with this
chamfered polished gold design it comes in three size options so we've got the 128 gigabyte option
here you've got 256 gigabytes or 512 gigabytes so make sure you choose the best one for you because
there's no micro sd card storage however there is the icloud service that you can use as your
backup which i do looking at the depth it's 7.4 millimeters in depth so it's quite thin which
is really good and it does weigh 226 grams so it does have a nice weight to it so looking at the
display and it is a large display here so it's a super retina xdr display from apple is 6.7 inches
in size and that's diagonal it's an all screen oled display with a resolution of 2778 by 1284
and its pixel density is 458 pixels per inch which is really nice to see and i really can't wait to
actually get it out there and test it and use it on a daily basis so a bit more about the display
offers hdr it's true tone as we said it offers wide color which is p3 that means all of your
images look crisp and clear and i'll highlight some of those i pulled them down from my icloud
it has haptic touch which used to be known as 3d touch it offers 2 million to 1 contrast ratio
and it has an 800 nits max brightness typical or 1200 nits match brightness with hdr content
it has fingerprint resistant coating on the front so you shouldn't get fingerprints everywhere
for extra security is rated ip68 for maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes so that's
really good to see there you can take it for deep dive if you want to don't recommend it looking at
pound performance so this is greeted with apple's next chipset which is an a14 bionic chip was next
generation neural engine so apparent performance is in there but this morning the review going
a bit deep dive into the processor and how it performs so moving around to the rear camera now
so it has a pro 12 megapixel camera system so all 12 megapixel so you have an ultra wide a wide and
a telephoto camera so the ultra wide is an f 2.4 in aperture and offers 120 degrees field of view
your wide is an f 1.6 in aperture your telephoto lens is an f 2.2 in aperture so on the pro
max you have 2.5 times optical zoom in two times optical zoom out and a five times optical
zoom range on the pro max variance there's a little bit of differences here between the max
and the pro digital zoom up to 12 times on the pro max you have night mode portrait using the
lidar sensor and again we'll go through this in greater detail when i bring you a camera review
when it comes to video recording you have hdr video recording with dolby vision up to 60 frames
per second you still only have 4k video recording at 24 frames 25 30 or 60 frames per second so
there's no 8k unlike the s21 ultra but again we'll be diving into this and really seeing how well
it works has the ois system which is the optical image stabilization for videoing wide has 2.5
optical zoom in two times optical zoom out five times optical zoom range on the pro max variants
and it has a digital zoom up to seven times you've got your audio zoom as well so you
can really pinpoint that audio sequence but again i will actually take a look
deep and actually again we'll dive into this a lot more during the reviewing so turning around
to your front camera you've got 12 megapixel to turn around to your front facing camera which is
known as a true depth camera 12 megapixels in size again f 2.2 and aperture offers portrait mode it
offers portrait lighting with a whole display lighting up you've got animojis and me emojis
night mode deep fusion and loads of other features plus 4k video recording at 24 25 30
or 60 frames per second so which is really good and that means my 4k videos when i'm talking to
you will look crisp and clear it has the built-in enhanced true depth camera for facial recognition
which offers your face id it has the apple pay and of course it has the 5g which is the sub 6
gigahertz variant looking forward to going testing that out here in the uk and seeing what speeds
we are able to achieve as i said a massive thank you to vodafone for supplying this to the channel
so that was a brief look at the key details of the brand's new iphone i'm so glad i've got it
it's all set up it's ready to go and it's ready to go out testing and really test them speeds
