The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max 512GB 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 1,600 in the UAE and ₹69,900 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max 512GB excels with its 12MP sensor-shift OIS main sensor delivering unmatched low-light stability, the 120° ultrawide with TOF LiDAR enabling precise AR depth mapping, and 1200-nit peak brightness for HDR clarity in direct sunlight. It’s built for professionals who shoot 4K Dolby Vision video daily and need 512GB storage for raw files without cloud dependency. Its A14 Bionic sustains heavy workloads, but thermals throttle after 25 minutes of 4K60 recording, limiting extended shoots. Battery endurance at 95h is excellent, yet 15W wired charging feels slow versus 65W Android rivals. In UAE at AED 1600, it’s competitive because refurbished units retain full functionality and iOS 17.4 enables Qi2 wireless. In India at ₹69900, it’s overpriced—flagships like the Pixel 8 Pro offer comparable computational photography at half the cost, with faster charging and newer software support.
