Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

128 GB, Pacific Blue, 6.70", SIM + eSIM, 12 Mpx, 5G

Product details

This step is a leap. 5G becomes Pro. The A14 Bionic leaves all other smartphone chips behind. The Pro camera system takes low-light photography to the next level – with an even greater leap in the iPhone 12 Pro Max. And the Ceramic Shield provides four times better drop resistance. Let's see what it can do.
