I ordered a 16 Pro Max. Had to return some items to the Apple Store and got my hands on a 16 Pro Max. I was so underwhelmed I'm returning my 16 Pro Max when it arrives. So happy I got hands on with the 16. Absolutely no reason for ME to upgrade and I'm saving $1200. Thanks, Tim!

I think 12 Pro Max could be worth upgrading this year. Whereas with something like a 13 Pro Max, I’d still wait another year for the 17

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

I think with 16 Pro Max is a sizeable upgrade from the 13 Pro Max but one doesn’t have to upgrade from the 13 Pro Max which is one of the best iPhones of all time and the 16 Pro Max is kind of that moment, particularly with battery life.

12 pro max is still Gold. Little to no difference in performances. Upgrade for what?

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

I love these comparisons, I would definitely recommend upgrading if someone is on a 12 Pro Max as the upgrades are more substantial with 120Hz Promotion, Apple Intelligence and the much improved cameras as well as significantly better battery life. Great comparison Nick.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

[@blkqtpy]

Thanks for your comment. I’m definitely going to be upgrading in about three weeks for sure.

[@mbovb006]

I replaced my battery at the Apple store (apple care) and the overheating went away. The battery life is MUCH better. I used to have to charge it twice a day. Now I can get to the end of the day with still 50-20%. Battery health has stayed at 97% for a year straight with the new battery as well. I keep getting tempted by 120hz but when I compared my phone to 15 opening apps at the Apple store, some apps were opening faster on the 12. I'd recommend trying a new battery out first. If you still really want the 120hz - go 16.

[@Diogloy]

Bro the 12 PM is still a beast ! No really need to upgrade tbh, the difference are not worth the price ! I want to keep mine for at least 3-4 years an really see a huge difference when upgrading (I don’t use mine for work or to create content btw).

[@johnwickkx]

The differences are actually worth it

[@blkqtpy]

It all depends on how much you’re paying for it. I’m only going to be paying $5.55 a month for the iPhone 16 Pro Max and I’ve had this 12 Pro Max for four years so it’s definitely time to upgrade.

[@shadowxwavez]

I am only paying $5.55 a month for my iPhone 16 Pro Max as well. I absolutely live the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

[@JoeNasr123]

Summary: Benchmarks don’t mean anything, if you can “torture yourself” to wait an extra half second, you’re all set with the great iPhone 12 Pro Max.

[@Jsameds]

Now multiply that half a second by how many things you do on your phone in a day, and multiply that by 365, divide by 60 and divide by 60 again to find out how long you have spent in hours waiting for things to load per year.

[@jimbojqmbo]

@@Jsamedsexcept no one ever will need that answer in a real world context because we only care about that half a second in the moment we're doing an action

[@Jsameds]

I have the 12 pro max, 76% battery life. I will just replace the battery and 2 more years to go with this awesome phone. I know it doesn’t have 120hz but my life…. I use my pc’s monitor with 240hz and its too much for me. 60hz is enough for me.

[@AceSRT]

Was the 12 Pro Max used daily since it came out? I used mine daily since it came out and it’s pretty sluggish now.

[@FerRod2113]

I have the 12 pro max too (256 GB) and it got sluggish too, but I deleted a lot of pictures and videos and freed up half the storage and it’s fast again. Maybe try that?

[@santhoshkumar5435]

Check your battery health. If it’s below 80% better change the battery. If that’s not a problem. Check the storage of your iPhone. If it’s used upto 95%. Delete and maintain a free storage of 5 to 10gb.
