I change to 12 Pro from 11PM, battery wise definitely 11PM is better without 5G.

The blue is overrated. I got the blue and it is less blue than what I thought, a bit greenish IMO. Unless you absolutely need the camera, not much point to upgrade. I only change to get a smaller size

i'll just give it a miss this yr. The only thing which attracts me probably is only the flat chassis but not worth the money.

Same notch size, no 120hz display, smaller battery and 5G gonna make it worse... it just doesnt fit..

I’ll only know how the batt will perform when I get mine Next Friday.

The 11 Pro Max have really outstanding batt life. Even if the 12 Pro Max have a little less, it wouldn’t be significant and it’ll still easily get me through the day.

Previously I went to Apple Store to have a look at the pacific blue 12 Pro. The blue shade is very nice and don’t seem at all greenish.

sane here. only like the chassis because it resembles my first Apple product: iphone4. otherwise, i am happy with my 11pro max.

If the demo set for Iphone 12 Pro Max is available than should go try out because this is the only Iphone that has the Sensor-Shift Optical Stabilisation , something like the Vivo X50 Pro build-in gimbal OIS.

Currently using iPhone 11 Pro Max. Contemplating hard to change to iPhone 12 Pro Max. Anyone feeling same as me? This year like really minor changes.

I'm using 11 Pro Max too. Was also thinking of upgrading.

My main use is to shoot videos, lots of videos. From what I've seen, the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max visual quality is very similar to the 11 Pros.

So the only factor that might actually matter is the sensor stabilisation on the 12 Pro Max, as it how stable is it compared to lens stabilisation. But seeing that the OIS is already really good on the 11 Pros, again, the sensor stablisation is not significantly better. I was already able to record handheld video with 11 Pro without much problem.

Doesn't make sense to sell my phone to make a $500-$700 loss to upgrade to something with marginal improvements.

Now I'm just thinking how I can make more YT videos with the phone.

If you shoot a lot of videos, then you’ll appreciate the 2.5x tele lens as well as the Bette enlightenment videography. Not forgetting you’ll be getting the only camera in the world that shoot 4K Dolby Vision Live and edit on the fly.

2 vs 2.5x is a difference but not a significant difference. If a person has a 52mm lens, he's not going to sell it to get a 65mm lens unless it's a f/1.4 or faster lens.

Actually all the improved specs are nice. But the main features people want, Apple has gotten them in previous iphones already, namely being able to record videos handheld without shake, take photos without blur, no jelly effect with video.

There's only one thing Apple can do to make a significant improvement to videos, and that's to increase the bitrate that iPhones can record, basically to match the mirrorless camera.

For me it’s definitely a mark up improvement from me to change from the ipx to 12PM. I usually sell or trade in my old phone but this time round I am keeping my IPX because it’s the 10th anniversary phone I still like it’s form factor as well.

Getting for longer battery life.
Although camera specs are slightly different, online photo comparisons didn’t show much difference in the results across the iPhone 12 range.
Still hopeful that there’ll be significant improvements when ProRAW gets rolled out.

Dolby Vision is a big deal and Apple is going to push it to become industry standard. All cameras out there, they simply do not have the capabilities to shoot Dolby Vision yet.

From what I see, there’s significant improvement in Low light video, one of my main issue with 11PM.

It is still not perfect, but it is observably better than 11PM.
