iphone 11 pro max and the iphone 12 pro max are both basically flagships or the largest available size from each year of phone and so i want to help you decide if you should update from the iphone 11 pro max to the 12 pro max or maybe upgrade to the 11 pro max now the first thing you need to know is that apple no longer sells the 11 pro max new from apple.com or the apple store they will sell it to participating retailers or authorized retailers but it's not available from apple anymore other than being refurbished it comes in at $999, $1149, or $1349 usually with a carrier contract so it really depends on where you get it the iphone 12 pro max comes in three different variants as well $1099 to $1199 or $1399 and each of them are available in different storage options with the 11 pro max you have 64 256 or 512 gigabyte storage options with the 12 pro max you get an additional 64 gigabytes at the low end 128 gigabytes 256 or 512 so you get a little bit of an extra bonus if you get the lower end iphone 12 pro max this year now when it comes to the colors the 11 pro max comes in a few different colors now it does have space gray as you can see here and we had a new color last year midnight green we also have gold and silver with the 12 promax the green has been replaced with this new pacific blue and then we also have a silver then we have gold and we also have what they call graphite which is basically the exact same thing as space gray on the 11 promax so you can see here they're basically the exact same thing now as far as their build and overall design well both are made of stainless steel of course this year the edges are a little bit different and there's some changes with the 12 pro max but overall the build is the same stainless steel on the outside edges glass front and back so let's go around the phones and then talk about the materials and everything else now on the right hand side of the phone we have our power sleep wake button like we always have and on the 11 pro max we have a sim card tray on the 12 pro max we have a millimeter wave antenna for 5g in the united states so in the united states you'll have this little cutout around the world you won't necessarily have that on the top there's nothing really there it's not very exciting and then on the left hand side you've got your silent switch with your volume buttons and your sim card tray on the 12 pro max so on the bottom you have lightning just like you do on all the other phones and then you have asymmetric speaker and microphone holes so the microphone you've got four holes the speaker you have six different holes on either one of them so it's a little bit different on either and as you can see the 12 pro max is squared off we've gone back to the design that we had basically with the iphone 5 and 5s and kind of a combination between that and the four because we have glass front and back now this year with the 12 pro max you have ceramic shield which makes it four times less likely to break in the event that you drop the phone you have this matte finish on the back which is really nice.
around the camera bump you can see it's more of a glossy or just regular glass and then on the front you have ceramic shield now this particular glass like i said is less likely to break but i'm not sure that it's less likely to scratch with the 11 promax after a year of use there are a ton of scratches on it so far i've had yet to scratch the phone the 12 pro max the 11 pro max scratched much easier in my experience so it seems like it should be a little bit more durable but still if you're worried about that of course use a screen protector now the overall weight is a little bit different the 11 promax is 7.97 ounces or 226 grams where the 12 pro max is 8.03 ounces or 228 grams so it is a little bit heavier and that's because of the cameras and a few other things so we'll talk about those in a moment now before we talk about the displays you can see the phone is a little bit bigger with the 12 pro max so not only is it a little bit heavier but it's a little bit taller width it's about the same so it is a little bit taller and it feels much larger because of the squared off edges now as far as the displays well the display is larger too because of the larger squared off frame so with the iphone 11 pro max you have a 6.5 inch 2688 by 1242 with 458 pixels per inch display with the 12 promax you get a 0.2 inch size increase of 6.7 inches with 2778 by 1284 pixel resolution with 458 pixels per inch so they're both fantastic displays they both support true tone wide color p3 they have the same 800 nits of brightness in regular use they also both go up to 1200 nits of brightness when playing hdr content so they're very similar that way they both have wide color p3 as well and have great viewing angles you're not going to have any issues viewing them outdoors or in sunlight or anything like that and they look great overall so in general they're basically the same some have said that the screen on the 12 pro max is a little bit warmer but in tess it's shown that it's more color accurate.
