Frequently Asked Questions
The iPhone 12 Pro Max features a larger 6.7-inch display, a bigger battery, and a more advanced camera system with a larger sensor on the wide camera and an improved telephoto lens with a longer focal length.
The LiDAR scanner improves augmented reality (AR) experiences by creating a depth map of the environment. It also helps with low-light autofocus for the camera, making it faster and more accurate in dark conditions.
No, ProRes video recording was introduced with the iPhone 13 Pro series. The iPhone 12 Pro supports Dolby Vision HDR video recording, but not ProRes.
The iPhone 12 Pro remains a powerful and capable device. While newer models have more advanced features, its camera system, A14 Bionic chip, and long-term software support from Apple make it a solid choice, especially if found at a good price on the used market.
