iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max | CAMERA COMPARISON

[@TheBri87]

I guess I'll be sticking to my 12 Pro Max. Selling my phone and buying a 13 Pro Max is too much of a hassle for the changes that I will get.

[@hewad1923]

I will also stick to my iPhone 12 pro max and the next iPhone will be worth to upgrade.

[@StefWangPARIS]

Same here. And there will have to be major changes / formfactor and design wise !

[@RennieAsh]

Yearly changes seldom worth it unless they do something big or you are really keen on the specific thing they upgraded.

[@StefWangPARIS]

@@RennieAsh I do agree with you. Last night (it’s 4:30 am here in Paris) I spoke over the phone with my good friend David. He doesn’t want to be introduced as a professional photographer, as his major activity - and the only activity he gets his income from - has nothing to with taking pictures. I always tell him that I respect that but I do know his skills in photography are way beyond amateur. Anyway. When I spoke with him he was super excited about the iPhone 13 news focals, and kept telling me : “Stef, you just can’t imagine how the news built-in photographic system is wayyyy superior to the former model”. So, as you wrote, people with specific needs like David (+, needless to say but who obviously can afford the new iPhone) will never : - ask themselves : “Should I really buy it” ! - spend the rest of the year cursing the day they switched to this 13th edition 😅

Not really, the 13 pro max or 14 pro max is better with a rr of 120hz.

[@juanmm9297]

My 12 pro max takes outstanding photos; it would never darkened a persons face like that

[@parthoomphy7214]

It used to with mine, I upgraded to 13 PM and HDR 4 is real. Man the highlight and shadow control is night and day and lens flair issue has been pretty much ironed out. I found camera to be a huge upgrade over 12 PM overall (HDR, Ultra-wide, macro & low light specifically). If you care about cameras, definitely it’s one of the biggest iPhone jump generation to generation which I have seen! That was my experience with it so far.

[@juanmm9297]

@@juanmm9297 yeah I understand, I got a buyer who was offering me nice money for 12 PM, so upgraded just for 120hz (my iPad had spoiled me u can say).

[@4wolverines]

Hoping the flare is reduced on the 13pro. Had so many flare issues on the 12 PM. Ruined a lot of pics. Thanks for the videos.

[@emsicz]

My 8 Plus' battery is going out and I'm looking at upgrade options. I just can't get over the pricing of 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max. I like the large form factor, it feels comfortable in my big hands, but the price is just killer. I was thinking maybe just replacing the battery could do the job, albeit losing the water resistance. 8 Plus has a decent enough camera for my needs. When I compare photo quality in iphones since 8 Plus, I don't think even the 13 non-pro models have as nice pics coming out of them as the 8 Plus does. The Pro Max series seems to be the only upgrade path for me and I'm just not over the pricing yet :/

[@RennieAsh]

Night mode on the 12 Pro Max may have occurred when you zoom in even further. On my Android phone, it tries to use the main sensor when too dark or if you are too close for the telephoto lens. But after a certain a mount of zoom it will force the telephoto lens to be used anyway. Or use manual mode :)

[@asifahmed7341]

Hi, at 9:15, zoom lens information seems wrong. iPhone 12 pro max has 2.5x zoom with f2.2 and iPhone 13 pro max has 3.0x zoom with f2.8.

[@angeli89]

Wha a early🥰 Great video ❤

[@iggytse]

Very interesting about night mode for telephoto. On first glance the 12 Pro Max was brighter but I didn’t realise it is the standard wide lens digitally cropped. I’m still disappointed that the aperture couldn’t stay the same. Going from 2.2 to 2.8 for me is a sacrifice.

[@RennieAsh]

Of course; they would need to make a longer, wider lens to keep the lower aperture.

[@alessandrotorrescampos522]

Amazing pictures, as always Michael! I just ordered a iPhone 13 pro max, and it is scheduled to be delivered by October 27th. Do you think it is possible they send it before?

[@RennieAsh]

In a periscope format yes. In standard format, I don't think I've seen more than 3x zoom. I guess Apple doesn't want to use the space for periscope or they think it's not ready for what they want to use it for

you need to manually increase how many seconds to take night mode photo's to see the difference..because at default it only take 3s or 4s thats why isn't much different from 12 pro max..but if manually put 10s on night mode shots in 13 pro max it will destroy all night mode kings because it is so bright and detailed

[@blazeshaun1115]

Facts lol

[@EpicLemonMusic]

Fact Check, Apple has upgraded their image sensor every single phone upgrade. Just because the sensors “specs” themselves doesn’t change is only 1/5 things they can upgrade. The light sensor can be bigger, the light sensor can be smaller but more efficient, the light sensor can utilize new light Technologies like from 8to X, the sensor can have more MP, Bigger Aperture, Focal Length, Depth of Lens, Positioning, type of glass, color processing unit, and of course the upgrades to the processor directly effect the upgrade to the camera itself and how it functions as well as the world class CPU, as well as the little changes they make like the transitions from one camera to another through positioning/mechanical zoom. So yeah, they don’t just leave the same 12MP camera over and over again.

There’s a huge difference in real life,I upgraded from 12 PM to 13 PM and difference is one the biggest camera jumps generation over generation which I have seen on iPhones. I mean all cameras are upgraded hugely, but specially the ultra-wide! It’s actually pretty awesome now (never liked it on my 12 tbh, so used it very less). Also additions of new features like macro, better zoom with night mode, cinematic mode and picture styles, it’s most fun iPhone camera I have used in years. Seriously if u care about camera, display and battery life, 12 to 13 PM is a huge jump (just looks are same, it’s a new experience if u go in-depth)!

My battery health is 91% just for 11 months of use. That’s why the iphone 13 pro max is so tempting because of the bigger battery and better cameras. Always loved your content Josh!

Yea your iPhone battery sounds defective. Unless you use your phone 20 hours a day 7 days a week there is no reason your battery health should be less than 95%. Ive had my 12 pro max since November 2020 and I’m still sitting at 97% health and I’m averaging 6 hours of screen time each day.
