To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question, and it only becomes even more pressing with Apple products. I like to think of Cupertino as the automaker of tech, where since design is one of the most important pillars of its products, it's also the reason why it doesn't change that often. My new MacBook Pro carries a design that's five years old, and you'll see that across the board.
Where you'll see innovation is in features, which is one of the major reasons why looks can be deceiving. On one corner we have Apple's best and most changed iPhone of 2020 and on the other we have its 2021 successor. If you judge them by the looks you'd assume they're the same phone, but I think you'll be impressed by the differences. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and this is iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max, sponsored by SUPCASE.

And a year later you will say the 14 Pro Max is everything the 13 Pro Max should have been and so on and so on.UA-camrs are never satisfied 🤷♂️
Ok but what should the 13 pro have been?
@@masterdoge17 I don’t know.I am still using a 12 Pro Max.Only reason I am not upgrading is because I cannot afford it this year.But UA-camrs always come out with that same phrase every year at the release of a new iPhone.
@@davidjacobs6244 well you have to understand they're talking to people who have 11
And a yr later, you’ll be one of the idiots to wait in line to buy it🤷🏿♂️
Or are you just being ignorant because he's of a darker complexion? I've seen plenty yt people upload videos saying the closely the same as he said and I didn't see a hateful comment from you. 🤡
Don’t fall for the hype if you have a 12 wait for the 14 it’s not like your phone just became a piece of crap over night it’s still awesome
With the same crap he'll say the same thing about 14 Promax compared to 13pro max
Agreed
wait for 16 rather😂😂😂 they might really remove the notch on 16. i dont think they will copy punch hole notch on androids. its insane that apple claims to be the best but they couldnt hide face id sensors before any android companies. its either they completely remove the notch or just keep it.
I am using 12PM 256 gb USA variant bt want to take 13 pro only for smaller display 12PM is good enough though BH 99% should I upgrade it?? Plz give us concrete suggestion
@@md.ashiqulislam2655 lmao keep your 12promax. photos and videos produced by 13pro/max will not have much differencw from 12. even if your full time job is a youtuber even a 1080p footage is enough for youtube. if you are a photographer by profession then buy dslr
The only time when you should upgrade from last year's iPhone to this year's iPhone is going from the 6 to the 6s. That was a massive upgrade.
If not that most of us humans are plain stupid and gullible, no one should ever feel the need to upgrade their iPhones every single time Apple releases a new one.
Exactly. I find no point in doing that. I’ve had my iPhone 8 for 4-5 years (the average iPhone user) before I finally upgraded to the 14 pro max. And I’m keeping this phone for another 5-6 years or until it stops working. So yeah
Recently upgraded to the 13 pro max from a XR and man, combining the 120 hz and OLED screen is night and day. After using the 13 PM for 5 minutes, going back to the XR to transfer my data, it was painful to use a 60 hz LCD lol. It’s well worth it.
I noticed that the iPhone 12 Pro Max produced warmer better pictures than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Surely agree with the greater battery life on the 13.
The honesty in the review is why I've watching your reviews for years... 👌
Thank you for the clarification and excellent video👏👏👌.
I upgraded to the 13 Pro Max from the 8Plus and couldn’t be happier, lol. The battery life and cameras on this phone are amazing! I wouldn’t see a point in upgrading from the 12 Pro Max, however.
I have a 8plus as well and I’m torn between the pro and pro max. I hear a lot of ppl say that the pro max is very heavy and even heavier with a good case on it
@@jrod9729 go for pro max its almost the same as the 8 plus don’t buy the normal pro
@@delixjagman4535 why did you choose the pro max over the pro?
@@jrod9729 I personally chose the pro max over the pro, because I wanted the larger display. But I don’t think it’s too heavy.
@@jrod9729 bigger screen bigger battery and it has bigger cameras
I would never upgrade from 1 year to the next. I’m a 4-5 years kind of guy
It means you're an iPhone person
Yea cause apple supports its devices for so long and other tech companies only for like 2-3 years
@@casualmetalhead9383 well for me. I did a 5 year value test. My iPhone X was worth 800$ trade in after 4 years. The Note 8, released the same year, didn’t have any trade in value after 4 years. Oldest Samsung with value is the s10 with a trade in value of 400$, and that released 2 years after. So Samsung doesn’t carry value over the long run. Android doesn’t carry after the long run. Shoot the Note 20 Ultra, last year was worth 1300, is half the value a year later.
@@a.hrushikesh4208 honestly I like both Samsung and Apple. But Apple carries more value in the long run. Which means you can trade your devices and get something for it and if you do it right. You get a free flagship phone every 4 years
Same. I am now upgrading from my 6s to 13 Pro....6 years.
I want 120 hz, but not worth the upgrade. Will keep my 12 PM.
Best buy giving $800 trade in
Yes keep it! Not worth the upgrade
These reviews be soooo dramatic over the littlest thing battery, camera, and screen oh ya slight processors bump 😂
@@icymayne Like I guarantee you that the regular user (which are the ones that buy it the most) will not see a big difference in everyday use! Let’s say that you can make a case for battery life, I have the 12 Pro Max, I get a day of really heavy use with maybe 12-16% battery left at 10 PM so if you get the 13 Pro Max which by his calculations is a 1- 1-1/2- 2 day battery it will not matter ‘cause MOST PEOPLE CHARGE THEIR PHONE EVERY NIGHT WHILE THEY’RE SLEEPING. The camera I didn’t see a significant difference not even at night the 12 Pro Max is still one the best ones out there, so in conclusion Unless you’re getting a really good deal on your 12 Pro Max then go ahead as for me… No way!
@@kotan80 boomers
Was you using high efficiency or most compatible in the camera format settings thanks ?
I love how you say your name. I watched that part like 6 times. Nice review too
U r a great reviewer jaime ..im your fan 🙏♥️
I had no choice but to upgrade from a 12 Pro Max due to switching carriers and I am absolutely satisfied. 13 pro max feels smoother and seems to have better battery life, love it!
A much needed video in my opinion and I'm a Samsung guy. Very good attention to detail pointing out the differences between these 2 smartphones from Apple. I'm a S21 ultra owner and I have great respect for both phones. A great video brother stay safe.
Photography? Wise is it better than iPhone 12 and 12 max? As per your experience ?
Should i have to pick s21 ultra or 12 pro max ?
My only gripes about my iPhone 13 Pro Max so far is iOS15. Its very buggy compared to my 12 Pro Max on 14.6. Maps crashes at least 3 times a day for me. Luckily, my route stays and i can just tap the app to go right back to my route. Otherwise id be using Google Maps again and i hate google maps.
As these devices are lasting longer and longer, I wish there were more comparisons between the 11 pro and 13 pro etc.
I guess the good thing about the 12 v 13 comparison is that people looking to switch from a 10 or 11 will know if it's worth paying extra for the *most* new device.
No one should ever switch from a 12 to a 13, or 5 to a 6, unless you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket!
I ended up saving 678$ by choosing to buy second hand 12 Pro Max and i'm more than happy with this phone. Thank you for informative video.!
Thank you Jaime. Great video. I would pick the 13 Pro Max of course. On another note… How is that Pixel 6 Pro working for you? How is the screen, speakers and cameras? Looking forward to your review.
I don't know what you're talking about 😳
Pocketnow ah yes . I see that you know your pocket-fu well !
I have looking for a comment from any girls using 13 pro max to see whether it is good.. too heavy or bulky.. glad I found one.
Yo, need help: I'm a Samsung guy, but I have been thinking to move to iPhone recently. Is it better to buy the iPhone 13 Pro Max instead of the 12 Pro Max? I've seen a lot of videos talking about people if it's necessary to upgrade from 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro Max, but no one has asked for the people that doesn't have iPhone and wants to buy a new one, so, is it worth it to buy the 12 Pro Max?
No matter how much is it just in case.
Well I have to tell you that I had the 11 pro max and I was about to get the 12 pro max when I heard that the 13 was coming out. not surprise they put out a phone every year. But something told me to wait to see if the camera was going to be better and I am so glad I did. I am enjoying taking photos and videos for my handmade business. I want to thank you so much I have been watching for years now and you always have great videos.
It’s a no brainer if I’m upgrading from a XS lol. Was gonna wait another year but this video convinced me it was time to upgrade.
I made that choice a few weeks ago traded my 12 pro max for the 13 pro max and I can say I’m fine with that decision
They have few differences… If U have the 12 Pro Max it really doesn’t make sense to upgrade to the 13 pro max unless you create content and always need the best specs even if they are far in performance from the last models specs
I recently upgraded from the XR to the 12 pro max and I do not regret it. It’s reasonably priced right now and my carrier (t mobile) had plenty in stock. Part of me would have liked the 13, just because it’s the newest model but again no regrets. The 12 pro max is everything I need and more. I was reluctant to upgrade and I’m extremely glad I did.
Same thoughts here
Same here 😊
I'm a creator too but I waited five years to upgrade from the 6s Plus to the 12 Pro Max. I can wait for the 14 versions.
Finally! The review I’ve been waiting for. Well done💪🏻
Helloo more power! And as always i love your vids. By the way im a rivera too 😊❤ from phil.
I’ve had the 12 pro max for almost a year now and wondering if should I wait or update?
I upgraded to the 12 pro max from an 8plus, huge difference in those phones and very happy with the 12promax , not enough improvement with the 13 to be worth the upgrade in my opinion
I did the same!
I upgraded from a 7 plus to the 12 pro max in early July. I’m absolutely loving this phone!
Agreed!
Agree
@@lorireece1930 I just upgraded yesterday from my 7Plus to the 12ProMax and I miss my 7.. I am so attached to the finger button lol only reason I finally let go was because the screen cracked lol but that was my baby 😩
Got my new iphone 13 pro max what recommend percentage to charge a phone they say 40-80 for battery life capacity and also can I use my old 5w brick? Thank you Hope you answer my question.
The biggest and most noticeable upgrade imo is the 120hz display (ProMotion). If you want the smoothest mobile display on the market, then upgrade. I upgraded from 12 Pro Max and am very pleased. Ive also been looking forward to 120hz on iPhone since 2017 when they brought it on the iPads so that had a big influence on me upgrading.
"Smoothest display on the market"?? No, not true. There are several 120hz displays on the market and they're all smooth.
My friend got the 13 pro max and I have the 12 pro max, the smoothness of the screen is definitely noticeable
i don’t see any difference in my phone and the 13 pro max the only thing i notice is the brightness 🔆 that’s it
@@Cjmboono offence but you must be blind. 120hz is a huge upgrade and extremely noticeable coming from 60.
Jaime, can you please tell me which dialer app are you using.?
Honestly the camera is worse , i upgraded from iphone 12 pro max to iphone pro 13 (decided to go with a smaller pro because this year the camera was the same whereas last year 12 pro max had a bigger sensor)
They removed my favorite feature which is MANUAL HDR CONTROL
i get blown up skies anytime i type on a person while taking a photo because the hdr doesnt kick in automatically... and theres no option anymore to enable it manually
And the other bad thing is the zoom lenses apperture which is f2.8 whereas on iphone 11 pro max it is f2.0 on iphone 12 pro max it was f2.4 ... the night mode doesnt really help because i get shaky photos even with the new stabilization
Id say if you care about taking beautiful PHOTOS keep the 12 ...
New software update has pro res and fixes the macro camera issue. Great comparison. ,👍🏻
The most honest review.
Subscribed! 💯
My 13pm Sierra blue should arrive today. Upgrading mainly for the 120hz screen better cameras and improved battery life
I have a 6s plus and it's just fine. Makes phone calls, does internet, great camera, slow motion, great screen, and streams and stores music and movies and is a TV. Everything the 13 is. Plus mines a 128 gb. And only cost $200
Thanks for the video, getting the 12 pro max
I just bought the 13 today. Thanks for this review
Would you do a comparison between 11 pro max and 13 pro max because I am stuck on weather to upgrade or not
I saved tons of money by buying a second hand 12 Pro Max 256 GB Dual Sim (from a 64 GB iPhone XS Max) variant instead of a 13 Pro Max 128 GB. A larger storage capacity is more critical for me. I don't care about having the cinematic mode or a faster higher refresh rate.
I will upgrade to the iPhone 15 Ultra when the prices drop 😊
well prices ain't dropping my guy, they going up like a rocket
My iPhone 13 Pro Max has had a battery issue since I got it! For some reason the phone died tonight with 70% battery left.
I upgraded from the IPhone X to the 13 pro max definitely notice the difference , camera is amazing on the pro max
I have an se 1st gen
Which one should I buy? Will miss the touch id tho 🥺
upgraded from the regular 12 to the 13 pro max. it was a good upgrade. Screen size/quality, battery life, cameras.built quality. the only con is the weight.
How was the 12 I have a 13 pro rn
Did they finally get rid of the lens flare and/or light reflections?
Supcases have been my go to case since 6 years ago..
Loving both of them
How does this phone fair with updates to 16.1.1? Can you do a review?
I think it time for apple to go back to every two year release.
I have iPhone 12 Pro my brother keeps saying I should get the 13 Pro Max. you think it is worth upgrading ?
Not holding out but never the iPhone 13. Will b securing the iPhone 14 when it finally arrives in lieu. Thanks f taking the painstaking time to make these videos without fail. Amazing work. 👍
Which one is better?
Dude, you are the best tech reviewer out there.
Imagine upgrading from an iPhone 6s, couldn't be happier ⭐️
brother i want upgrade from iPhone 11 to 12 pro max or 13 pro max but i am confused between weight as 12 pro max having less weight & 13 pro max heavy weight. please help me to decide a phone i want to use until iPhone 16 launch.
I didn't need to upgrade but wanted to for some of the updates that you mentioned. The resale value of an unlocked 12 pro max made it an affordable choice for me.
The resale value for 12 pro max did it for me too
I love my legendary 12pro max light weight than 13pmx and more crispy sound with deep bass
I think better to wait for iPhone 14 pro max with major design changes
I sold my iPhone 12 Pro Max, paid out the contract and got the 13PM… it’s all set up, just waiting for my case/screen protector to arrive. While it definitely feels like an S year, I feel this is the best year to buy - when the product has been refined/improved. In saying that, I am challenging myself to keep this phone for the next 5 years so I went for the 1TB option. Wish me luck not being tempted again next year 🙈
I’ve just ordered mine from 12 pro max I have to wait till November till I get it tho
I’m perfectly more than happy with my Gold iPhone12pro max. I don’t tend to want to upgrade till the iPhone14 or 15
I will keep my 12 pro max and wait for next year release.
Same
It’s now been 2 years. Guess you finally upgraded to the 14 pro max (last year), OR, 15 pro max which just came out 5 months ago
I’m using 12 pro max and I’m very happy with it. Worth upgrade if y’all upgrade from 11 or sumn. But no reason to upgrade from 12 pro max
Agreed! It’s not worth it for me to upgrade from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro Max. I’ll wait until the next model.
if you have a xs series or older, its worth the upgrade
I did upgrade from the 12 Pro Max to the 13 Pro Max, but only because my wife wanted an upgrade so she got my 12 Pro Max.
If she didn't I would still happily have a 12 Pro Max...however for a heavy user like myself, the battery improvements are very noticeable. The 12 Pro Max will need a top up by early evening on a work day (calls, multiple email account syncing, hotspot usage, 5G usage most of the day with mixed signal with 4G at times), but the 13 Pro Max will last until bed time with about 20% left.
Everything other advantage is a nice to have, but wouldn't miss it if I stuck with the 12.
I currently have the 12 Pro. And am thinking I would like a bigger phone. So I am trying to decide if I should just do the 12 pro max or 13 max. Or go all the way and do the 14 max.
Have being waiting for your camera 🎥 comparison with the s21 ultra n iPhone 13pro mac
Wow that name drop at 1:00 sounded like sped up or sth. Impressive
0:58
What about upgrading from a 11 pro max. I have this for two years but can’t decide if it’s worth upgrading. Anyone here done that ?
What polo you wearing?
Where did you get that 4s art??
Can you do a review on the supcase
Ten battery life is maybe even enough of a reason with the good trade in value; and especially so with the 120hz
Just upgraded to a 13 Pro Max over a 12 Pro Max, and i really feel a difference. Maybe it's the 120 Hz screen, but overall it just feel so much tuned with a great finish. And when it comes to the macro camera, well it is just very cool!
Thanks man I’m about to do the same upgrade I wanted to know
@@anonymoustechguy5073 Np. Let me know if you have any questions :)
how's the battery compare 12 pro max and 13 pro max?
@@muhdhaziq3219 My 12 Pro Max had a great battery, but i can feel a difference in the 13 Pro Max's battery life time. I'd say it's maybe 15% better. Like in all other ways, the 13 Pro Max is just more superior.
I’m looking forward to bigger battery coming from 12 Pro Max to 13 PM. On Apple Upgrade Program anyway
Hope Apple could fix the bugs in the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Highest specs so far but still buggy
Awesome comparison video…..I think 12 pro max is good compared to budget of 13 pro max
I have the 12 Pro Max and honestly I feel very happy with the phone. Tbh not worth the upgrade until the 14 series comes out. Hopefully the notch will be removed in the Pro models this year.
I choose the ipbone 12 pro max. Because the of the pri ce which has a little difference?
Don't think i have ever seen someone love saying their name as much as this guy
When it comes to choosing between two phones that are fairly similar it should come down to price. A person shouldn't go into debt just to get a phone that the slight now if you are affluent and have the extra money of course you can change every year especially if you get a good trade in value. If you're a person looking to upgrade from a older or inferior phone and you can get a good price on the 12 promax why not go for it? Nice video once again, you have a friend in Columbus Ohio!
Completely agree with you! I'm in a similar boat right now.
Upgraded just for the 120z and better battery 🔋.
13 Pro here.
Is it my imagination or were the daytime shots with the cloudy sky much better on the 12? The sky had much more dynamic range and definition in the shots from the 12. At night the 13 definitely was better though. As for the "smaller" notch, it's more narrow yes, but it's deeper now. That's why the notch now cuts into 18:9 video. So yes, the design of this brand new iPhone reminds me of the Google Pixel 3 XL. Congrats Apple :/
Your imagination.
Apart from the battery life, you shouldn't upgrade. And this is coming from someone that loves 120 Hz on my One Plus. Some shots on the 12 actually looked better than the 13 imo.
I agree and the selfie shots of Jamie like he said looked more natural with the warm ness of the skin. This 13 PM should have been the 12 PM last year.
Keeping the 12 PM since its jailbroken on 14.3. I would only upgrade to the 13 PM if there’s a jailbreak out for it. Jailbreaking an iPhone is the best kept secret
Mostly the same 120 refresh only IOS not 3rd party apps useless camera features which most users won't use. Still a big notch plus no unlock with Covit where is fingerprint ID
Are those iPhones or Google iPhones?
I'm very impressed with Supcase.
I just got my 12 pro max 3 months ago… for me it’s brand new
Let’s be real there isn’t that much of a different day to day. They all do the same shit lol but the battery life on this pro max is deft pretty insane
Don’t forget the display brightness. 13 Pro Max is the first OLED phone I’ve ever had that is easily viewed in Southern California sunlight. (It’s 1000 nits compared to last year’s 800. That’s huge for me)
It is a very worthy upgrade if you spend a lot of time on your phone.
@@protectyourqb it is not lmao. 120hz is pretty much the only thing you’ll notice that’s different. And for me it’s a huge deal..but let’s be real it’s not worth an upgrade from a 12 to 13 lol that’s just a waste of cash
@@ErikHalaska well I guess I won’t be upgrading this year. Thank you
@@daveaultman7688 that’s a good point! I can imagine in that kinda light
I am using a OnePlus 8T right now and the phone is just not bright enough when you are outside. I put it on full brightness but it's still hard to see. That's why I ordered the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
great vid thanks. i picked up a used 12 pro max 512gb on ebay for €900. a 13 pro max 512gb would be €1600. Feel the difference.
the only reason why i’d upgrade, is bc of the battery life. my 12 pro max’s battery is trash. always has been
What about the battery on the 13 pro going bad, as a common problem 🤔
The best thing about silver iphone is that you can use a metal polish and it becomes BRAND NEW. Other colours cannot do that because it has a colored coating on top.
But it can get scratched very easily :/
I have iphone 11, should I upgrade to 13pro max or 12 pro max?
What iPhones share the same speaker (bottom)?
The only reason I upgraded my 12 pro Max for a 13 pro is because T-mobile have a good deal right now. If not I would have not, I don't think the upgrade is worth it.
Already picked. 12pm was half off. Easy choice.
