What's happening everyone, my name is Alex and welcome back! So I bought myself an iPhone 12 Pro
Max after using the regular iPhone 12 for about three weeks. This is also my first Max iPhone.
I've never had the max iPhone before. I usually just get the cheapest iPhone and I'm pretty happy
with it. Well this year I decided to do something big and this is big the iPhone 12 Pro Max but
after using this for a couple of days I regret buying it and spending the extra money compared
to the regular iPhone 12. So in this video I'm gonna tell you exactly why I regret buying this
and the real reason why I actually bought it. So the regular iPhone 12 is a pretty good phone,
it's affordable; well affordable for some anyways, it has the same great on screen as the 12 Pro Max,
not size wise but the same oled screen, we have the same form factor we have the same fast cpu
so overall I was very happy with the iPhone 12 with one exception and that was the battery life.
When comparing the iPhone 12 to my old iPhone 11 i'm still using my old iPhone 11 the battery life
on the 12 wasn't that great so that was one of the main reasons why I thought that the 12 Pro
Max is gonna be the better fit for me and i was right the battery life on the 12 Pro Max
is so much better than what we get on the regular iPhone 12. With this one it seems that it doesn't
matter what I'm gonna do with it I will always have enough charge to make it through one day;
something that I couldn't actually say about the regular iPhone 12 so I was very happy to see that.
Now the second biggest reason or actually the biggest reason why I wanted to get the 12 pro max
over the regular 12 is the improved main camera. If you've watched Apple's presentation they
clearly said that this one has a larger sensor that can capture more light and it will also do
better for image stabilization while recording videos and then I got the phone and I have to
say there is literally no difference between the regular 12 and the 12 Pro Max for cameras
when taking pictures or recording videos. I've actually done a full camera comparison between
the two and if you want to check out that video to see more sample pictures and videos I will
leave a link in the video's description or the top right corner. And you know what else there is no
charger that comes in the box with either iPhone 12 and that brings us to today's video sponsor
today's video is being brought to you by Aukey and their super small and super portable 20 watt
charger this could be the perfect charge for a brand new iphone 12 and not only you can charge
iphones from this you can also charge all the other devices that you may have at home so tablets
headphones android phones etc size wise this is roughly the same size as the original apple
charger but this is three times faster so just to give you an example charging the iphone 12 from
zero percent to 50 is done about 30 minutes with this charger so we have a usbc port on the front
here and that fits perfectly with the cable that you get in the box with your brand new iphone 12.
so this is a very safe charger that's also super affordable and as always there will be some links
in the video's description just in case you wanna check it out thanks aukey for sponsoring this
video and let's go back to our iPhone 12 Pro Max. And we are back so size wise the iPhone 12 pro max
is big, a bit bigger than I actually expected so this is one of the biggest phones that i've had
this is also quite a bit heavier than the regular iphone 12 this is about 64 grams and
heavier. Now I have to say that I do like big screens it's so much easier when you watch a
video if you edit something on it if you edit a picture on it it's really nice to have such
a big screen but i feel that this is kind of like an ipad that you keep in your pocket but without
the multitasking that you can do with an ipad so i feel that having such a big screen and
such a powerful phone and not having any type of multitasking is such a missed opportunity,
I mean the screen is big enough to to have like half of the screen opening the browser and the
other half to have your email open. I'm not talking about playing two games at the same time
or anything crazy but i feel that this is such a missed opportunity with such a powerful up device
so it's such a big screen it would have been nice to get some more additional
features compared to the other iPhones but we don't because this is apple and this is ios
also the stainless steel frame on this phone i think this is stainless steel
looks really good when it's clean the phone looks super expensive looks super premium but as soon as
you put your finger on it it doesn't look good at all and comparing this to the regular iphone
12 even though that didn't feel as expensive and as premium as this one it wouldn't leave these
ugly fingerprints every time you touch it so yeah the stainless steel frame even though it
looks good when clean not so good if you actually use the phone but like most people i'm probably
gonna use the case on this phone because it is expensive i'm afraid it's gonna break if i drop it
so realistically i'm never gonna see this frame unless i film another video like this and then i
take the case off so yeah i am a bit disappointed about the 12 pro max because of those cameras.
Personally i take a lot of pictures with my phone i take a lot of videos with my phone
and the cameras are very important to me now don't get me wrong the iphone 12 does
really good as well for cameras and it is an improvement over last year's iphone 11
but i literally bought this phone based on apple's presentation and the claims of the
camera is better than the camera that we get on the regular iphone 12 the 12 pro and the 12 mini
so i am disappointed and that's why i regret buying this phone because the cameras
aren't as good as apple claimed that they would be i'm not sure if i'm gonna keep the phone now
because that was literally the biggest reason why i got it.
Unfortunately I sent my 12 back because I thought that 12 pro max will be the one for me but
now I don't really know anymore because this was kind of expensive as well so i do find
that presentation that apple did a bit misleading mostly talking about um cameras. All right guys
