I love your videos but please activate autocaption so I can follow you better as I'm deaf. I noticed your latest videos doesn't have this feature activated on youtube. I would be so happy. Thank you for doing such great videos
@@vp5429 I know what you mean, it's not the feature they killed. It's the customisation of autogenerated caption. So people cannot change the subtitles anymore. So the feature is still there.
This is such a valid comment. I’m not deaf but I find myself staring at this guys lips wondering why he talks in such a way that you can read his lips. It’s captivating lol
This more intricate approach to the specs and its implications in day-to-day usage is greatly appreciated! Most youtubers simply regurgitate what a 5 second glance at Apple's website can tell me.
@Jay Talents Not a fan, I presume but why the negativity? This type of video is certainly more useful (by whichever metric you judge it) than those of the average NSA analyst who tells you the Pro Max might not fit well in your pocket or be difficult to operate one handed and calls it a day.
@Jay Talents Well, to be fair, the iPhone 11 is still a great smartphone, with top of the line performance. And the 12 fixes the most uttered complaints against the 11, especially by significantly upgrading the screen. You don’t HAVE to buy it. Hell, you don’t even need to buy an iPhone, since pretty much every $600+ smartphone is better than what most people need nowadays. But if you’re in the market for a new iPhone, this is a very good, in depth review of the differences between the iPhone 12 and the older model, which is still being sold. Viewers can determine for themselves whether or not they need the improvements, or if they’re willing to pay a $200 premium for them. In my opinion, the $200 bump in price between the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 gives you more than the $200 bump in price between the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro does. And I like the design a lot better. But I get to trade my month old 11 Pro for a brand new 256GB iPhone 12 without paying a penny extra, so it’s an easier decision for me. The 11 Pro has nothing that I won’t have on the iPhone 12.
if a teacher show a cartoon that is hateful towards black or jew then there wouldn’t have any questions from people like you? Look at thousands of french, their worshipping idol and leader is Cherlie Hebdo. Free speech is a term that should have referred to broadness, freshness. To hatefull islamophobic people that have turned into a constant 24/7 narrowminded, nasty hates speech towards a religion to provoke them too extremely. Just like Hitler this kind of 24/7 hatefulness will bring the collapse of oppressors sooner not later. You know there is Justice. And ALLAH has great patience. Sadly people don't take that as an opportunity but they want to see what will happen if ALLAH wishes to punish.
In terms of camera and video he regurgitated the same garbage apple did. Honestly most apple fanboys are so deluded it fking hurts and act as if the Iphone 12 was such as a huge deal. At least mrwhosetheboss got an objective view on it, showing the world with side by side how the Iphone 12 is basicially the same thing as a slightly finetuned Iphone 11.
I have ordered a 12 Pro to replace my iPhone XS and I too lament the loss of 3D Touch. It was such a good feature and its sad to see it go. One of my favourite implementations of 3D Touch is when playing FPS games. You dont have to take your thumb off the screen to press a button, you just push down and it starts shooting. I've tried both ways and its waaaaay better with 3D Touch.
I truly appreciate that you went into detail on the regular 12. I personally ordered it in blue as well. But I think too many TH-camrs are sleeping on how great the regular 12 is.
I’ve had my 12 Pro for 3 days and I absolutely love it. It’s a fantastic size, and it doesn’t feel too big, coming from a first gen SE. The screen looks great, and so far the battery is fantastic! It is blowing away my SE battery.
Just for who wants to know... The iPhone 12 Mini base model I've been waiting for will have close to the same battery to the iPhone XR of 2,227mAh battery stats included according to manufacturer which works great for this size, the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro will have the similarly brilliant 2,775mAh battery similar to the iphone 11 pro, while the largest iPhone 12 Pro Max variant will have the expected rated at 3,687mAh again to last year's of an behemoth iPhone 11 Max Pro hope this puts your mind at rest... ☺️ much love from the UK
This explains why they they didn't choose even 90-120hz variable, as this would double the power consumption of the screen (efficiency is king). And also is a positive for the iphone mini, as last years iPhone XR the screen was a more power hungry LCD instead of this year's power lean oled. ☺️
I just ordered a 12 Pro in graphite through my AT&T store. Pacific Blue models are backlogged and currently aren't scheduled to ship until December 17. I wasn't determined to only get it in Pacific Blue, so I asked about how long until I could get the Graphite model, and that one will be shipped to me by November 17. So, Graphite it is!
None of the wireless chargers I bought came with a wall adapter, I can't remember what was the last electronic gadget I bought that did come with one. What's the problem here? Nothing new
Drogon K exactly - if its lightning alternative, it should be like lightning, sold separately. I never even though it should be sold together. I don’t even need another brick, and am just glad, that the MagSafe costs 39$ not 99$...
Do u think they’ll reduce notch size next year? Or is the technology not there yet... im debating on whether or not to wait for the iphone 13 for a chance of the smaller notch
Finally!!! You help me out alot. I've been wondering what phone to get for three days and I'm going to get the 12 Pro. You clearly know your stuff. Great video.
Oh and everything above 4K and 12MP is bs. Having 8K and like 40MP does NOT let you punch in better because the pixels are too small which creates more noise and less details because of that. That's why EVERY Android OEM that is advertising their phones with 108, 64 or whatever MP is outputting only 12-16 as they did before. These higher MP numbers are ONLY for marketing and have not a single benefit to it. and 8K is just even worse because it's limited to the main camera on Samsung phones. Use the 2x zoom on the iPhone at 4K video and you have literally the same sharpness but less noise thanks to bigger pixels.
Damnit Rene I was gonna watch this before running to the grocery store and now it's gonna be later than I thought! If they run out of Hot Pockets that's on you!
Is 120hz that important? Im actually curious, I feel like apple displays are more responsive and quick than droids so maybe Apple didn’t do 120hz because it wasn’t worth it. Let alone the faster HZ is a battery killer, at least thats what I’ve heard.
Why is no one talking about the fact there is no purple iPhone 12 this year. It was my favorite color they have ever made, right next to the iPhone 10s in gold. Why apple? Why?
I talk about that every year. They keep giving us purple accessories but not the phone. When it was rumored we were getting a purple phone last year I was hoping the pro version would have an eggplant, Aubergine, or plum, but nope just the Midnight green. 😔 I’m hoping next year we finally get one.
Finally, at least someone mentions that Apple - as the only one(!) - habt increased the pricing year over year. Unlike all people on social media still make fun of. Sure the 12 became $100 more expensive but only after last year DROPPING in price and the most premium iPhones as a fact stayed at the same price since the iPhone X. Compared to Samsung who started with $1000 phones in the same year as Apple but they increased it even more and more but for some reason no one blames Samsung for that but people blame Apple for increasing the prices despite that not even happening.
Rene, I’m not even 4 mins in but I have to say: 1) It was great to see Georgia and her signature hair-flip. I may have recognized her hair before her person. 2) I see and have long had those “Great Books”. I received Brittanica in high school and now I’m on my 40s, rocking the encyclopedia and the accompanying books in my house. (I never see these referenced so I’m mildly excited.)
@@rayyansumaguina1426 all i care about is a new phone. My charger port is broken All my calls have to be taken on speaker Battery only last for like an hour and a half My phone randomly restarts Weird noise when I record a video So it’s time for a new one. Idgaf abt 120hz. Never heard of it till around middle of this year
The better camera in the max is tempting but the pro has an excellent camera, awesome video capture and a better size for me. I wish the cost of the 11 pro would go way down but it's roughly the same price
If you have to even CONSIDER the cost of the charger you can’t afford this phone. Be an adult and get an iPhone SE or nothing at all Bc chances are your current phone does it job fine.
Saw about 20 different youtubers reviews and unboxing and yours is the most detailed, most informative yet interesting one. Great job, thank you for the hard work you put in to every video in and out.
I wish they reduced the notch or given 120hz atleast on the pro models or reduce the bezels a bit. I already have OLED and fast charging on my X. I wish they could have had ultra fast charging like some other brands are doing (65W on OP 8T for EG). I wanted to upgrade this yr but this year’s iPhones disappointed me. Idk what to do now, should switch to Samsung or what? Totally confused
i got my iPhone 11 w/ 256GB of storage and i was so affirmed in keeping it when i saw the price jump of the iPhone 12 at that same configuration. although Super Retina XDR would be nice, and those squared off edges, there just is not enough to compel iPhone 11 users to get it.
Been around since the 6S where you could push into the screen with 3D Touch anywhere on the keyboard. Now with Haptic Touch since the iPhone XR you have to long press the space bar.
@@mitchishell long pressing the space bar only activates the cursor. To select text you need to activate the cursor, then tap the keyboard with a second finger, and only then move the cursor to select text. And you can do it much faster and less awkwardly than Rene did in this instance.
Is it worth upgrading from the XS Max (256GB) I don’t see any real need to do it other then the fact I just want a new phone. Mine is still in perfect condition. And still as fast as day one.
My XS is still fine as well. Although it lags sometimes, I assume it's either because 64GB is not enough for it to run smoothly all the time or because I install all the beta software without resetting it. But even I don't feel the need to upgrade, since these phones aren't that compelling. I really love the new design, but it's not enough to make me wanna spend another 1000$+. Especially since 3D Touch is gone and I'm so used to it's speedy response.
The screen is virtually identical and that’s where the money is (also cameras). 6.5” big OLED (larger than any iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro) and the same notch, same resolution, HDR, etc. it’s less bright but that’s okay you don’t need anymore battery drain. The XS Max is a beast and there’s a reason it was $1,099 when it launched. A12 is also still stupid powerful in 2020 and has been dominating iOS 14 like it’s nothing LOL
I love being on this channel cause the phone wars don't exist here. People here are actually capable of talking it out and discussing things without turning sour.
I'm on a note 10 plus and I think it just doesn't make any sense to switch yet. I wish the notch was gone and 120hz oled and included fast charger. Its a pass for me this year apple.
@ Rene Ritchie . If they went and changed the fact you need a separate charge block and screwed everyone over with existing cables, then *why didn't they add a USB-C port to the phone instead of staying with lightning?*
It is, just like they did with the XS and XS Max last year. But you can still buy it, it'll be in stock for a while and after that there will be refurbished options.
@@worththewatch1517 I’ve heard that the Apple battery cases are trash and don’t hold a charge. What is your experience? I want to get one but they’re expensive and if they don’t work like they should, I don’t want to think about getting one
@@dr.strange5419 the apple smart battery cases are excellent and I do have two of them. No issues, no trash. Dont buy them new. Just go on ebay, and buy a relatively barely used one. One costs around $199 Aussie dollar here and I bought two from someone who didn't use them, two for 100. So its just matter of finding a good deal. Dont buy new.
In all my years of having every iPhone since the first one, I’ve never had a password or Touch ID on my phone. I never upgraded because of that damn notch. I’ll be finally upgrading my 7 plus this year, but ugh, I hate that notch.
Really appreciate the work you put into this review, very thorough and and well presented. You did a great job going through each point in easy to understand ways while also going in depth about them. I also appreciate your thoughtful opinions on what those facts presented mean and how they effect use.
At time 35:39, have you hanged your disclaimer the the iPhone 12 will charge at 15 Watts only if you use a MagSafe charger with only the Apple 20 watt power supply.
I’d wait till the 13 If I was you. I can’t wait My charger port is broken All my calls have to be taken on speaker Battery only last for like an hour and a half My phone randomly restarts Weird noise when I record a video So it’s time for a new one (I’m on an iPhone 6s+)
Did you clean out the charging port with a small qtip or toothpick? I thought mine was broken but it had sawdust in it .( couldn’t tell by looking.) it’s also a very easy replacement... if you’re patient and careful. I’m tired of living next to a outlet so my iPhone 6 can keep its battery life 😂.
I’m having trouble justifying my 7 to be upgraded maybe next year cause my phone is near the of it’s life as battery but it still looks good tho just the mic, cell service, and part of the screen is messed up (not cracked)
I am wondering abt battery capacity on both phones... Rene, why you didn't mention anything abt battery life? iPhone 12 Pro is 30 grams heavier than iPhone 12 and in my opinion this is mostly due to larger battery . Pls could you advise on this?
@@davidjacobs6244 Probably, but note that 11Pro and 12 Pro have the same weight using the same stainless steel and 12 Pro a lit bigger. While iPhone 12 is much much lighter than iPhone 11 both having the same alum. frame and iPhone 12 a lit bit smaller. Still I don't see it very clear.
How is the whole video just grainy and blurry looking? Its not very easy to know if the iphones camera is good if it looks like it was taken on a iphone 6
I'm coming from a 2016 iPhone 6s and I put my pre-order in for an iPhone 12 Pro 512gb on Friday! Really liked when you said wait as long as you can to upgrade and then enjoy the hell out of it. I cant wait for my new phone. I just hope it gives me as much joy and service as my old 6s. iPhones are really great value, even with the price. If you take care of them, they can last a really long time as my 6s shows. My 6s is on iOS 14 too which is amazing to me. A phone that came out in 2015 will be updated through most of 2021. But the updated design of the iPhone 12 for me was the selling point. I'm excited! Great review!
My wife has my 6S Plus from the 2015 release and I still miss it over my Xs Max! I bought the wrong upgrade and have regretted it ever since. The 6S Plus blew me away. The Xs Max? Shitty 4g indoors and modem issues. You’ve made a great choice in the 12 Pro. Enjoy it for sure 😀👍🏻
2015 mbps were the best! The newer ones with touchbars are trash. I have the 2018 one and there are multiple hardware issues with the keyboard and thermal throttling. Just ended up getting a windows laptop lol!
@@rainZSlayer I still have a need for usb type A and the fact apple thinks we don’t need it is dumb. I’ll use my 2015 till it dies. Hopefully by then apple silicone is mature in macs.
@@Spamsgood I miss my 2015 mbp so much. It was thin yet had all the necessary ports. Magsafe was awesome and no hardware issues with the keyboard or cpu throttling :(
@@rainZSlayer Mine still holds up surprisingly well. Honestly I do most of my heavy lifting on my main desktop but for a laptop my 2015 MacBook Pro is all I really need. However I am cautiously optimistic about Apple silicon especially for the rumored price point. But honestlyMy five-year-old MacBook is thinner then a lot of windows laptops being sold today.
At 42:20 you are so right! My first iPhone was an iPhone 5 16GB, then upgraded to 7 Plus 32 GB (which is a joke in terms of gab space) in 2017, and now am planing to buy the 12 Plus Max 256 or 512...
I'll be waiting for the iPhone 12S/13 Pro Max, as I've still got the great iPhone 11 Pro Max in Midnight Green. I don't use screen protectors as I have never broken a smartphone screen.
iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max have not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max are not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained. What do you make of this on apple website?
3.969 mAh (11 Pro Max ) and 3.687 mAh (12 Pro Max). According to reports and most people, the battery life is as good as it was last year because of all of the improvements/enhancements for 2020. Although it’s still a little bit smaller. 282 mAh more precisely. And its energetic efficiency. But I still do have my doubts. We never know... 🙊😬🤦🏻♂️
45 minutes well spent... So excited for them to ship the phone here in the Phil!! Its going to be my first iphone.... 😊😊 Thanks Rene for the mega detailed review!
Why do so many people say 5g is not anywhere? WIth T-Mobile there are numerous places I have seen mid band, and I see low band like basically everywhere.
I still have a 40 watt supercharger from my Huawei mate 20 pro and i am wondering if i could use it to charge my new iphone 12 or if it would cause damage to my phone
Car mounts, end tables and desks too It’s point is to be a sitting still charger on a desk or table and be able to auto align so it makes sure it’s getting the correct alignment to actually charge so you don’t just place it down and come back later to find it didn’t charge cuz it off alignment by even a tiny amount

Smaller notch or 120hz would have been a great welcome but still looks gorgeous. That blue is for me.

Iphones dont need it anyway.. as ios is already buttery smooth
Yeah more people know about 5G than 120 hz anyway
@@sh1121 do you seriously wanna start a fight with android fans. XD
@@rayyansumaguina1426 all i care about is a new phone.
My charger port is broken
All my calls have to be taken on speaker
Battery only last for like an hour and a half
My phone randomly restarts
Weird noise when I record a video
So it’s time for a new one. Idgaf abt 120hz. Never heard of it till around middle of this year
@@sh1121 seriously?? what makes you think i'm an android fan.
The better camera in the max is tempting but the pro has an excellent camera, awesome video capture and a better size for me. I wish the cost of the 11 pro would go way down but it's roughly the same price
How’s the battery life compared to the 11 Pro?
Apple says about the same. I’m guessing reviewers will need more time to find out
About the same, 11 Pro battery life is overkill, too impressive, and it's amazing they manage to keep it to same or in some areas, +1 hour
@@Racko. 11 pro has pretty good battery life but I personally would still want more
@@keco185 Agreed
Man you give one heck of a review. It's "THE" most in-depth review on a product I've ever heard. You really did you home work.
"...Because yelling 'first' into specsheet is akin to shouting 'first' in the comment section."
I let out a laugh.
If you have to even CONSIDER the cost of the charger you can’t afford this phone. Be an adult and get an iPhone SE or nothing at all Bc chances are your current phone does it job fine.
Saw about 20 different youtubers reviews and unboxing and yours is the most detailed, most informative yet interesting one. Great job, thank you for the hard work you put in to every video in and out.
Could it be possible to use a MacBook 2016 USB-C charger to charge the iPhone 12?
“Be careful and if you need to use a case” - Thanks for acknowledging that there’s some of us who are careful enough not to need a case 😍
Yup, never used a case to this day...never liked them lol
@@klarissak I used to in the past but not anymore 😂
I’m changing from a 6S to a 12 pro so I think I’m going to notice a big difference can’t wait.
Dang Rene, getting in these reviews early! NICE!
He had it for a month
Thanks!
The 12 pro max vs 12 yes bc of battery life 12 pro vs 12 no only xtra camera and no frosted glass
I noticed in all the reviews that once again there’s a severe lens flare issue in photos and videos.
Is this not bothering anyone?
Apple fanBOIS don't bother about it,
like HIM.
But if other brand, that's a HUUUGEEE issue..
😂 😂 😂 😂
@@linus-fn9919 cuz on other brands it more of an issue
I wish they reduced the notch or given 120hz atleast on the pro models or reduce the bezels a bit. I already have OLED and fast charging on my X. I wish they could have had ultra fast charging like some other brands are doing (65W on OP 8T for EG). I wanted to upgrade this yr but this year’s iPhones disappointed me. Idk what to do now, should switch to Samsung or what? Totally confused
Ah yes get ultra fast charging and absolutely destroy your battery in the process.
i got my iPhone 11 w/ 256GB of storage and i was so affirmed in keeping it when i saw the price jump of the iPhone 12 at that same configuration. although Super Retina XDR would be nice, and those squared off edges, there just is not enough to compel iPhone 11 users to get it.
14:47 waaait, how long did I not know about this way of selecting text.
Loool same
Been around since the 6S where you could push into the screen with 3D Touch anywhere on the keyboard. Now with Haptic Touch since the iPhone XR you have to long press the space bar.
@@mitchishell long pressing the space bar only activates the cursor. To select text you need to activate the cursor, then tap the keyboard with a second finger, and only then move the cursor to select text. And you can do it much faster and less awkwardly than Rene did in this instance.
@@13x666 how do you activate the cursor?
🗣 I Learned something new today!!
RIP 3D Touch... guess this is the year I finally give it up. Seriously such a bummer, it changed the way I use my phone.
This has to be the most detailed review on the 12 and 12 pro out there. Well done.
Is it worth upgrading from the XS Max (256GB) I don’t see any real need to do it other then the fact I just want a new phone. Mine is still in perfect condition. And still as fast as day one.
My XS is still fine as well. Although it lags sometimes, I assume it's either because 64GB is not enough for it to run smoothly all the time or because I install all the beta software without resetting it. But even I don't feel the need to upgrade, since these phones aren't that compelling. I really love the new design, but it's not enough to make me wanna spend another 1000$+. Especially since 3D Touch is gone and I'm so used to it's speedy response.
The screen is virtually identical and that’s where the money is (also cameras). 6.5” big OLED (larger than any iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro) and the same notch, same resolution, HDR, etc. it’s less bright but that’s okay you don’t need anymore battery drain.
The XS Max is a beast and there’s a reason it was $1,099 when it launched. A12 is also still stupid powerful in 2020 and has been dominating iOS 14 like it’s nothing LOL
@@ilyachap iOS 14.1 drops today and it fixes a couple issues, hopefully with the random micro lags. And battery life!
I love being on this channel cause the phone wars don't exist here. People here are actually capable of talking it out and discussing things without turning sour.
Now this is a review! Not a darn regurgitation of the keynote. I’d only heard of this guy before but am glad I watched this 👏🏻
I'm on a note 10 plus and I think it just doesn't make any sense to switch yet. I wish the notch was gone and 120hz oled and included fast charger. Its a pass for me this year apple.
Watching those phones slowly vibrate off the table had me sweating
It sounded so cool with the air pods pro with spatial audio on, sounded so life like, it sounded like it happened in my room. Haha.
👏🏼😅
Such a complete review! Congrats
The blue on the 12 is amazing!! I really wish it was on the Pro instead. I'm going for the 12 pro max.
@
Rene Ritchie . If they went and changed the fact you need a separate charge block and screwed everyone over with existing cables, then *why didn't they add a USB-C port to the phone instead of staying with lightning?*
So is the 11 pro just discontinued? I really wanted that one
It is, just like they did with the XS and XS Max last year. But you can still buy it, it'll be in stock for a while and after that there will be refurbished options.
you can still probably get it from 3rd party sellers like Amazon
I really want to know difference between 4gb ram and 6gb ram.
Watched it all and didnt find any reason to upgrade from my xs max 😒
@Ryan Vernon
I use the battery case with xs max and its a 2 day battery for me. So even in terms of battery, i feel no need to upgrade
I’m on 10 im so ready for my pro on Friday especially with the beta wallpaper from 14.2 beta 4 will be gorgeous
@@worththewatch1517 I’ve heard that the Apple battery cases are trash and don’t hold a charge. What is your experience? I want to get one but they’re expensive and if they don’t work like they should, I don’t want to think about getting one
I’m using xs Max too, and I pre ordered the 12 pro.
@@dr.strange5419
the apple smart battery cases are excellent and I do have two of them. No issues, no trash. Dont buy them new. Just go on ebay, and buy a relatively barely used one.
One costs around $199 Aussie dollar here and I bought two from someone who didn't use them, two for 100. So its just matter of finding a good deal. Dont buy new.
Wow, now this is a proper review. Definitely a subscriber. Thanks I feel completely informed. 😊
Does LiDAR improve Niantic AR or does that require an update on their end?
Needs their update
In all my years of having every iPhone since the first one, I’ve never had a password or Touch ID on my phone. I never upgraded because of that damn notch. I’ll be finally upgrading my 7 plus this year, but ugh, I hate that notch.
Really appreciate the work you put into this review, very thorough and and well presented. You did a great job going through each point in easy to understand ways while also going in depth about them. I also appreciate your thoughtful opinions on what those facts presented mean and how they effect use.
At time 35:39, have you hanged your disclaimer the the iPhone 12 will charge at 15 Watts only if you use a MagSafe charger with only the Apple 20 watt power supply.
i love that this video is exactly 45 mins
So, I only have one question. Will my experience be different using the iPhone 12 vs the iPhone X? I don't think so.
Your right I have the Xr and I don’t think I can do anything different on that phone that I can do on this one
6:40 gave me extreme anxiety.
How good is the 🔋?
I’m really having trouble justifying an upgrade from my iPhone 10
I’d wait till the 13 If I was you. I can’t wait
My charger port is broken
All my calls have to be taken on speaker
Battery only last for like an hour and a half
My phone randomly restarts
Weird noise when I record a video
So it’s time for a new one (I’m on an iPhone 6s+)
Me too.. but from my iphone 11
Did you clean out the charging port with a small qtip or toothpick? I thought mine was broken but it had sawdust in it .( couldn’t tell by looking.) it’s also a very easy replacement... if you’re patient and careful. I’m tired of living next to a outlet so my iPhone 6 can keep its battery life 😂.
I’m having trouble justifying my 7 to be upgraded maybe next year cause my phone is near the of it’s life as battery but it still looks good tho just the mic, cell service, and part of the screen is messed up (not cracked)
Battery life and the a14 chip would be the biggest reasons I guess unless you want 5G
I am wondering abt battery capacity on both phones... Rene, why you didn't mention anything abt battery life?
iPhone 12 Pro is 30 grams heavier than iPhone 12 and in my opinion this is mostly due to larger battery . Pls could you advise on this?
@@davidjacobs6244 Probably, but note that 11Pro and 12 Pro have the same weight
using the same stainless steel and 12 Pro a lit bigger.
While iPhone 12 is much much lighter than iPhone 11 both having the same alum. frame and iPhone 12 a lit bit smaller. Still I don't see it very clear.
Your review was almost as long as the apple event. Goes to show the type of time and depth you do vs Apple. Keep it up!!!
How is the whole video just grainy and blurry looking? Its not very easy to know if the iphones camera is good if it looks like it was taken on a iphone 6
I thought the blue iphone 12 would've looked better in person. guess not
Me too. I pre ordered the iPhone 12 blue. Not sure I made the right decision 😂 too scared to change it now Incase it delays shipping!
well you haven’t seen it in person
I’m shocked how ugly it looks. Glad I haven’t ordered the 12 yet.
I've done a full 180 on the two blues lol. I think the Pacific Blue looks better here than Apple's own videos
The Charging Adapter is required for the iPhone to function please stop comparing it to a headphone jack or a disk drive.
I'm coming from a 2016 iPhone 6s and I put my pre-order in for an iPhone 12 Pro 512gb on Friday! Really liked when you said wait as long as you can to upgrade and then enjoy the hell out of it. I cant wait for my new phone. I just hope it gives me as much joy and service as my old 6s. iPhones are really great value, even with the price. If you take care of them, they can last a really long time as my 6s shows. My 6s is on iOS 14 too which is amazing to me. A phone that came out in 2015 will be updated through most of 2021. But the updated design of the iPhone 12 for me was the selling point. I'm excited! Great review!
My wife has my 6S Plus from the 2015 release and I still miss it over my Xs Max! I bought the wrong upgrade and have regretted it ever since. The 6S Plus blew me away. The Xs Max? Shitty 4g indoors and modem issues. You’ve made a great choice in the 12 Pro. Enjoy it for sure 😀👍🏻
I still have MagSafe on my MacBook lol. Early 2015 mbp for the win.
2015 mbps were the best! The newer ones with touchbars are trash. I have the 2018 one and there are multiple hardware issues with the keyboard and thermal throttling. Just ended up getting a windows laptop lol!
@@rainZSlayer I still have a need for usb type A and the fact apple thinks we don’t need it is dumb. I’ll use my 2015 till it dies. Hopefully by then apple silicone is mature in macs.
@@rainZSlayer I intend to use my mbp until it dies. Then patch it together and keep using it for as long as I can.
@@Spamsgood I miss my 2015 mbp so much. It was thin yet had all the necessary ports. Magsafe was awesome and no hardware issues with the keyboard or cpu throttling :(
@@rainZSlayer Mine still holds up surprisingly well. Honestly I do most of my heavy lifting on my main desktop but for a laptop my 2015 MacBook Pro is all I really need. However I am cautiously optimistic about Apple silicon especially for the rumored price point. But honestlyMy five-year-old MacBook is thinner then a lot of windows laptops being sold today.
A bunch of people have done a drop test and the glass shatters to the point where they have pieces sticking upwards
I just finished the whole 45 minutes of this video. Thats a first for any TH-cam video I watched.
At 42:20 you are so right! My first iPhone was an iPhone 5 16GB, then upgraded to 7 Plus 32 GB (which is a joke in terms of gab space) in 2017, and now am planing to buy the 12 Plus Max 256 or 512...
I'll be waiting for the iPhone 12S/13 Pro Max, as I've still got the great iPhone 11 Pro Max in Midnight Green. I don't use screen protectors as I have never broken a smartphone screen.
How did the battery do during your review?
"Kardashian Gold".....hilarious
AKA “fools gold”
As I’m a lot interested in photography, should i go for 11 pro or 12 ??? Suggest me pls
Tho I think what a lot of ppl are waiting for is battery test !

What about the battery life? I know it’s early to judge, but give us an idea. Thanks
I hope rene give this review about battery iphone 12 🙏🏼
3.969 mAh (11 Pro Max ) and 3.687 mAh (12 Pro Max). According to reports and most people, the battery life is as good as it was last year because of all of the improvements/enhancements for 2020. Although it’s still a little bit smaller. 282 mAh more precisely. And its energetic efficiency. But I still do have my doubts. We never know... 🙊😬🤦🏻♂️
I went from my iPhone 11 Pro Max getting to about 20% at 6pm, only got the iPhone 12 pro but still at 40% at same 6pm time
Oh, man ... Nerd-level tech spec + Real-world perspective = Overload. Thanks for the truckload of details!
45 minutes well spent... So excited for them to ship the phone here in the Phil!! Its going to be my first iphone.... 😊😊 Thanks Rene for the mega detailed review!
Can you make Antutu test?? its more wide than Geekbench
My notifications are going wild now! Somebody, thanos snapped the embargos
All things in balance...
Wait the lightning port wasn’t centered? I’m confused. I don’t see it...
Gotta love this man. Great review 💪🏿
Why do so many people say 5g is not anywhere? WIth T-Mobile there are numerous places I have seen mid band, and I see low band like basically everywhere.

I still have a 40 watt supercharger from my Huawei mate 20 pro and i am wondering if i could use it to charge my new iphone 12 or if it would cause damage to my phone
the blue iphone looks different in every video I watch
It looks like the iPhone 12 blue are shipping first
Here for this! 🙌🏾
Great review! Awesome production value!
Does anyone else think MagSafe is silly. It’s bulky and does not solve much. I do think it will be cool for car mounts.
I have the lightning headphones, so it’ll let me use them while the phone is charging.
@@iunderscoream I have a set of AirPods I leave at work and I have a set of pros at home. I can’t do wires.
Car mounts, end tables and desks too
It’s point is to be a sitting still charger on a desk or table and be able to auto align so it makes sure it’s getting the correct alignment to actually charge so you don’t just place it down and come back later to find it didn’t charge cuz it off alignment by even a tiny amount
Confused b/w gold, graphite and silver
1st the unboxing and now the mega review :-)
