The Independent on Thursday released their ratings of smartphones and named Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro Max the best overall ssmartphone.
David Phelan and Steve Hogarty for The Independent:
The top-end model of Apple’s newest iPhone is, naturally, the best phone the company has yet engineered. At 6.7in it’s an enormous device, and sports the same neat, flat-edge design seen in the rest of the iPhone 12 range. The back is frosted glass, and the edge-to-edge OLED display is interrupted only by the distinctive notch containing the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors. Apple’s allows you to unlock the device and authenticate payments simply by looking at it.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max boasts the best battery life of an iPhone in generations, with a single charge lasting two days. 5G capability offers superfast internet speeds, so long as you’re in a 5G-enabled area. The improved camera performs excellently in low light conditions and can snap detailed portrait shots in night mode.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a hefty slab – people with smaller hands might prefer the leaner form factor of iPhone 12 Pro – but it’s the best choice for those looking for a true powerhouse smartphone from Apple.
MacDailyNews Take: The iPhone 12 Pro Max, the smartphones we use daily, is simply the best smartphone ever made – until this fall.
It’s too damn BIG, and the Power Button needs to be moved back to where it belongs.
It’s not that long ago that Apple and fans pointed, with excoriation, to competitor’s similarly sized phones as “phablets.” Humans are such strange beings.
I still miss my old SE. Even the new SE is too big. When I want to watch a movie, write a story, or edit images, I use an iPad.
The only folks who can use the MAX are folks with Purses and Murses! Who actually needs a phone that big? It’s not an entertainment device…it’s a communication device! If it can’t fit in your pocket it’s too damn big!
