The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB is Apple's 2020 smartphone featuring a 6.7 inches, 109.8 cm2 (~87.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Apple A14 Bionic (5 nm) chipset. It comes with a 3687 mAh battery. At AED 1,250 in the UAE and ₹44,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max excels with its 12MP sensor-shift OIS main camera, delivering exceptional low-light stability, and its 1200-nit peak brightness OLED display, ideal for HDR10+ content outdoors. The A14 Bionic chip sustains 60fps gaming for over 90 minutes without throttling. Ideal for professionals using LiDAR for AR workflows or videographers shooting Dolby Vision at 4K/60fps, it’s a tool, not a toy. Its weakness? No ProMotion display—still locked at 60Hz, a glaring omission in 2024. In UAE at AED 1250, it’s competitive because it’s the last Pro Max with physical buttons and MagSafe, now priced below newer mid-rangers. In India at ₹44900, it’s overpriced: the Redmi K70 Pro offers 120Hz AMOLED, 120W charging, and 50MP main sensor for ₹38000. Unless you need iOS-exclusive apps or LiDAR precision, Android flagships deliver more for less.
