description: The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a super-size phone with all the flagship features. But is it the one for you?
encoded: The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is the zenith of recent iPhones, honoured as the largest and most powerful smartphone to come out of Cupertino. As the name suggests, it takes things to the max, manifesting beast mode and delivering across performance, camera skills, screen, design, and battery life. Following the design of its iPhone 12 counterparts, you’ll find the flat-edged boxy aesthetic, a matt glass back, and shiny stainless steel trim, just like the iPhone 12 Pro. ‘Ceramic Shield’ coats the stunning OLED display for added protection too. And like the iPhone 12 Pro, the 12 Pro Max sports a trio of cameras on the back, plus a LiDAR sensor. You get 5G, of course, Apple’s fastest processor, the A14 Bionic chip, and MagSafe technology too. However, the iPhone Pro Max leaves the rest of the series in the dust when it comes to size. The iPhone Pro Max physically stands out, owing to the 6.7-inch OLED screen, with HDR video and a stereo speaker system that packs one helluva punch, helping to make it the most cinematic iPhone in the series. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the most luxurious (read: expensive) option, with all the flagship features in glorious super-size form. But does that mean it deserves a place in your pocket? (if it’ll fit). Jump to: iPhone 12 Pro Max review: summary What is the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max? How much is the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max?

description: Find out how the smaller iPhone 12 Mini scores in our review.
encoded: The iPhone 12 Mini is Apple’s first ‘Mini’ iPhone, but rather than compromising on all the premium features, which is often the case with smaller phones, quite the opposite is true — it’s basically an iPhone 12 in a smaller package. With identical cameras and internals to the £100 more expensive iPhone 12, the only difference here is both the size of the device and screen. With the A14 Bionic chip at its core, a new edgier aesthetic, stunning OLED screen, and photography upgrades, it can happily trade blows with the very best. It offers the nostalgia of older iPhones which were sensibly sized and truly pocketable but packed with the latest tech, like 5G and MagSafe, and that’s why it’s truly unique. There’s nothing not to like on the most wallet-friendly and smallest iPhone. Well, there is one thing. The drawback from the smaller form factor is that there’s a smaller battery too, and running out of steam before the day ends might slightly dampen what is, by far, the most alluring and accomplished iPhone for years. The Mini version of Apple's flagship range will usually set you back £699 at Amazon, but right now it's £100 cheaper. So if you’ve read this review and you're looking to invest in the SIM-free handset, now's the perfect opportunity. This deal covers the 64GB handset in all colours, but you'll also find price drops on the 128GB model (was £749, now £649) and 256GB model (was £849, now £749). The iPhone 12 Pro Max certainly isn't a budget handset - but right now you'll find it available, SIM-free, at Amazon for £50 less than usual.

description: Find out how the iPhone 12 Pro scores in our review.
encoded: In the iPhone pecking order, the iPhone 12 Pro sits above iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Mini, but sits below the £1,099 iPhone 12 Pro Max. Just like the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini, the Pro is 5G ready and offers Apple’s new MagSafe technology, plus the lauded A14 Bionic chip, which does a tremendous job of managing multiple tasks, assisting with computational photography and battery optimisation. So when the base models offer just about everything we need and want from a smartphone, it does make us wonder; what are the extras we’re getting from the Pro? Those extras culminate in: a third telephoto camera, polished stainless steel around the edges (rather than aluminium found on the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini), and an ever so slightly brighter screen. There’s no denying that the additional telephoto camera is a mighty asset, but it’s also the same one that graced the back of the iPhone 11 Pro. More interestingly, the Pro has a LiDAR scanner that measures the distance to an object, a boon for portraits and low light shots. The new hardware gets an emphatic nod of approval, but whether it’s worth stumping up an extra £200 over the standard well-specced iPhone 12 is the question worth asking. Read on for our full review of the iPhone 12 Pro. To see how it compares to its chief flagship rival, don't miss our iPhone 12 vs Samsung Galaxy S21 article. And if you're unsure about picking up the higher-spec Pro or the pint-sized Mini, check out our iPhone 12 vs Mini vs Pro vs Pro Max explainer.

Apple iPhone SE (2nd gen) review

description: The iPhone SE is missing a few flagship features, but it also comes without the same hefty price tag.
encoded: The first iPhone SE was announced back in 2016 as a cheaper alternative to the flagship iPhones of the time, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Apple waited four years until releasing a successor, the iPhone SE (2nd gen), announced a few months after the iPhone 11 series. Like the first time around, the SE (2nd gen) is a smaller and more basic version of the 2020 iPhone line-up. It comes with many of the same features, but for a fraction of the price. There’s more to it than just size though, the iPhone SE (2nd gen) does have its drawbacks, namely: a smaller battery, only one main camera, and no full OLED screen. However, one all-important piece remains: the A13 Bionic chip, which is responsible for the phone’s performance. This chip not only unlocks much of the computational photography tricks which help make the iPhone SE (2nd gen) a tempting proposition, but it also helps to manage power consumption. The iPhone SE (2nd gen) also offers all the standard iPhone features, like iMessage, FaceTime, the huge and brilliant app store, plus the constant iOS updates will ensure features are always up-to-date. The A13 Bionic chip might’ve been taken over by the newer A14 model from the iPhone 12 line-up, but it can hardly be deemed dated, and it still succeeds on so many levels. It boils down to one simple consideration: how much are you willing to sacrifice for a cut-price iPhone? Read on for our verdict on the iPhone SE. We've also put a number of other Apple handsets to the test: you can read our iPhone 12 review, iPhone 12 Pro review and iPhone 11 Pro review.

description: Find out how the iPhone 12 scores in our review.
encoded: The iPhone 12 series marks the moment when Apple jumped on the 5G bandwagon, as until now, Apple was a little behind the curve. Although 5G promises to bring uncompromised speed and connectivity, only some areas have deployed 5G masts. However, it’s still one way to futureproof your phone as more cities join. Along with 5G, Apple debuted MagSafe, a connection that paves the way for an entire ecosystem of magnetic accessories, many of which will enable speedier charging. There are MagSafe chargers, cases and wallets both from Apple and other third-party accessory manufacturers. Performance has been upgraded from the iPhone 11 series, with the introduction of the A14 Bionic chipset, which boldly claims to outperform all smartphone competition across the board. Strangely, Apple harks back to the excellent iPhone 4 and 5 with its more box-like design and flat edges, but for the first time ever, it won’t ship with a power adapter or headphones. Why? It’s part of Apple’s sustainability efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. It’s built from recycled parts, too, and Apple uses renewable energy sources during the assembly process. Along with most of the hardware, the camera remains much the same as its forebearer, though there have been some improvements. The iPhone 12 sits alongside the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max and might just hit the sweet spot. Read on for our in-depth verdict on the iPhone 12. To see how it squares up to Samsung's flagship rival, read our iPhone 12 vs Samsung Galaxy S21 guide. And if you're also considering the other handsets in the 12 range, check out our iPhone 12 Pro review and iPhone 12 vs Mini vs Pro vs Pro Max explainer.

description: We put Apple's iPhone 11 Pro to the test, but how does it compare to the competition?
encoded: The iPhone 11 Pro was the jewel in the crown of Apple’s 2019 iPhone roster. It offers a superb camera unit, excellent battery life, and a lovely matt finish on the back, which is going to keep fingerprint smudges at bay. When it was launched in 2019, the one thing that was hard to stomach was the jaw-dropping price. There’s no denying that it’s very much at the premium end of things, qualified by its ‘Pro’ status, but since the iPhone 12 has entered the fray, the 11 Pro is looking more affordable. iPhones see incremental upgrades each year, but some of these changes are more significant than others, and by that very admission, the iPhone 11 Pro is still a fantastic smartphone and hardly far behind the iPhone 12 Pro in a number of ways. While the iPhone 12 pro is slightly boxier in shape, is 5G ready, and plays nice with MagSafe, Apple’s magnetic technology built for attaching accessories like fast wireless charging, there’s not a lot else in it. Those features feel superfluous for now, but when it comes to the things that matter like camera, performance and battery life, the iPhone Pro 11 shows little weakness. We put it to the test to see if it’s worth your time and money. To hear what we thought of the latest generation of iPhone, you can read our iPhone 12 review and iPhone 12 Pro review. And to see how one generation compares to the other, don't miss out iPhone 11 vs iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 vs iPhone 12 explainers.
