    f you wanted the biggest iPhone, I don't see how you could justify the $500-600 jump for the iPhone 12 variant of the same phone like some are suggesting here.

    Excluding 5G being in its infancy, with my experience with 5G (with a Galaxy Z Flip 5G) at one of my workplaces I'm only getting 250mbps max.

    I dunno if 250mbps (best case scenario too currently) + A14 alone is worth so much. They're trading blows elsewhere with the display, camera, battery life and I don't see many MagSafe chargers or accessories out in the wild.

    • congo on 18/02/2021 - 12:05

      I hear 12 Pro has a much better camera?

        Maybe there's a direct 12 Pro max vs 11 Pro max website comparison that I haven't seen, but extrapolating results from a 12 Pro vs 12 Pro Max and 12 Pro vs 11 Pro Max comparison I don't see a clear winner with my not pro photographer eyes. In some cases the 11 Pro Max produced better photos like through its telephoto lens.

        • TechVisar on 18/02/2021 - 13:01

          I am in the apple eco system (although my work doesn't allow to use android phones) I have seen the new S21 Ultra has all the winnings against Apple 12 Pro Max except the Video capability.

          Security wise I like Apple products and I willing to pay more for that. Again all comes to an individual Preferences

        Pretty impressive if that's an indoor speed, I havent tested 5G outdoors but with 4G my speeds would halve when I was inside the building

  • seabass on 18/02/2021 - 12:39

    I've got it, (12 pro that is) its heavy, bulky and miss my old One plus 5t. which was slim , light and just as good.

    the redeeming feature is the EXCELLENT camera.

    in all other aspects including operating system, slimmer lightweight android phone is better. Probably better off with the google pixel imo.

    • onlinepred on 25/02/2021 - 10:29

    • cloudie9 on 18/02/2021 - 14:04

      Pro max for sure, better battery life.

      • PLA74 on 18/02/2021 - 14:41

        If you're not fussed about getting a 'light' or 'small' device, I would go for Pro max. Well worth the extra $80 for bigger screen. better battery life.

  • Gomo on 18/02/2021 - 14:20

    Hmmm this or the Samsung S21 Ultra

    • congo on 18/02/2021 - 15:12

      Ultra has better specs.
      But if you are locked into the Apple ecosystem then ….. you’re screwed :)

    • mighty-atom on 18/02/2021 - 19:58

      S21 Ultra definitely, came from a 11 Pro Max and have been iOS since iPhone 3G.

      Things that I miss: iMessage, Calender sharing between family members, iCloud photo sharing and simplified system

      Things that are better: Google Assistant makes Siri seem dumb, drag and dropping files from a computer, USB C backing up photos to a USB drive directly is so fast (God knows why apple still keeps the POS lightening port).
      Multiple apps opened another great feature.

      Was a bit of a learning curve but I don't regret it

        Use Google messenger. Just replace it with Samsung messages and enable RCS from the settings. Check the settings you might not even need to replace anything.
        Mine works just like iMessage on Google pixel.

    • Jackkkkkk on 18/02/2021 - 14:47

      really think 128gb is enough for a 12 Pro Max? lol 512gb 12 Pro Max is $720 more.

      • DontNeedThis on 18/02/2021 - 14:54

        I don't see the "lol" in this really. Depends on what you do. I've been using a Mate 20 pro 128gb since 2018 and still have around 20gb left. When the comes, I will move the files to my computer and can use the 128g for another 3-4 yrs.

        Not to mention, $270 is still not bad considering that you're getting a new generation phone with 5g.

        Edit: Did you initially say $270 more or did I misread that?

        • Jackkkkkk on 18/02/2021 - 15:26

          I get what you mean, I use a 128gb XR. But you're comparing a 512gb price to a 128gb price. It's not the same.

          People who are considering purchasing this 512gb variant are people who need the space who uses it for vlog on hi-res or 4k videos. Not hard to fill really.

    Pricey phone for a year and a half model. If it was around $1,000 to $1200 then I would consider it a good deal, just my 2 cents.

    • dealsucker on 18/02/2021 - 16:21

      Given it will have major OS updates for another 4 years atleast and a CPU which is as fast as today’s Android flagships and a very competent camera, I would say its still a deal. Also 512GB storage which is plenty.

      • buddysayshi on 18/02/2021 - 17:19

        Overall a very good phone but 4GB RAM is insufficient (I am getting reloads with 4GB RAM especially after using the camera) as it reloads the apps and browser’s pages and as time goes by and with the new upcoming updates it will start to show it more. The Intel modem is also much inferior compared to the Qualcomm’s one in the iPhone 12 series.

      • onlinepred on 27/02/2021 - 15:27

        Yep get trapped in google ecosystem instead.

    • DontNeedThis on 18/02/2021 - 17:28
      -1

      If you don't care about subtle improvements in the camera department, I'd say stick with the S8 as you won't see a practical difference even with the S21 Ultra.

      I personally was happy with my Note 5 from 2015 until I broke it a month ago. I would have kept using it for at least a few more years.

      • ChickenAdobo on 18/02/2021 - 18:10
        +1

        The s8 to s21 ultra will be massive upgrade. Night mode , HDR computational algorithm and zoom capability will be a noticeable improvement in photography when shooting on s21 ultra from an s8.

        You are kidding yourself if you think it a “subtle” improvement.

        • DontNeedThis on 18/02/2021 - 18:34

          I don't agree. I especially think that the camera quality difference is not even remotely significant enough to justify the $1900 price tag. You could buy 4 GoPro Hero 9s with that money while still using the S8 for other stuff. You're not going to tell me that S21' s camera quality is anything more than a fraction of Hero 9's quality, are you?

          I know I shouldn't be comparing two different types of device, and I'm not, I'm just saying phones haven't progressed enough since 2015-16 to justify upgrading. If camera is all your looking for, it might be better to buy a camera device rather than paying $1900 for a new phone.

        You haven’t used a new phone have you…. even going to s10 after s8 was a massive upgrade in every way. Battery life was much better, simple things like loading websites was faster, camera was a huge jump with wide angle and video was epic.

        • DontNeedThis on 27/02/2021 - 21:34

      • DontNeedThis on 18/02/2021 - 20:50
        +1

        Yeah, phone companies incrementally increased the prices of their flagships from $200 to $2000. One might argue that it's because the cost to build a high-end phone has risen up, but that's bs. the parts inside an iPhone 4 added up to under $190; the parts inside iPhone XS Max came out to $390. Thee hasn't been a 10 times price jump in building phones to justify the 10 time price jumpr in selling them.
