If the iPhone 12 is still made of an aluminum side, the 12 Pro and this Max have a firmer and more premium stainless steel side. This looks glossy and immediately distinguishes it from the regular iPhone 12 people. Of course, the 12 Pro Max is all about seeing and being seen. The case is still IP68 waterproof. New is the 5G support. This may not be a good idea at the time of release, but it might be different about 3 years. And let people do more and more with their phone. Then you don't have to buy a new iPhone if 5G is totally hip and happening.

Sensor shift stabilization and LiDAR

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is not only Apple's largest iPhone model, it also has most of the camera features. What's new this year is the more light-sensitive camera that benefits you especially in the evening. Optical zooming is possible up to 2.5x where the regular 12 Pro goes up to a maximum of 2. Another difference between this Pro Max and the Pro is the way of optical image stabilization. Instead of moving the heavy lens to compensate for unintended shocks, the much lighter sensor is now moved. Apple borrows this technique from the DSLR market and it produces much less shaky photos and videos. On the back is now also a LiDAR scanner with which your iPhone can detect depth. This is not so much used to shoot better pictures, but is intended for AR applications and games. All in all, nice jumps on camera that together mean a big step forward.
