      @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.

    • @Splackavellie85
      @Splackavellie85 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @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.

    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.

    • @paulkdrozd

      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. ☺️

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @ilyachap
      @ilyachap 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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 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!
