![]() ![]() Essentially, this means that darker colours appear deeper and darker and that brighter shades ‘pop’ in contrast, while still appearing warm and natural. I found it was less prone to sticky fingerprints than the smaller iPhone 12 Pro screen, which took a fair bit of buffing to get rid of.Īpple’s largest display to date is also its brightest and sharpest – a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR screen with a 2,000,000-to-1 contrast ratio and 1,200 nits peak brightness. That said, Ceramic Shield makes no claims about making the handset less durable to scratches. The display did, however, pick up three deep-ish scratches within three days of beginning testing. This new layer, Apple claims, is the toughest glass ever used in a smartphone, and is four times more durable when dropped compared to last year’s iPhones. The Super Retina XDR display is super detailed (Photo: Rhiannon Williams/i) Like the rest of this year’s 12 series iPhones, the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s display is covered in a new toughened glass Apple is calling Ceramic Shield, a material created using processes that mean it’s technically not quite glass, but is translucent enough to cover the display. Otherwise, its external buttons etc resemble the iPhone 11 Pro Max: power button on the right, volume buttons and silencer on the left, and a lightning charging port on the bottom. ![]() In terms of the phone’s body, the SIM card tray has moved from the right-hand side of the phone’s body to the lower-left. As phones go, they don’t get much more aesthetically pleasing than this. The model I tested is gold, with shiny, burnished sides and a pearlescent cream glass back that looks and feels reassuringly expensive. Its textured matte glass back comes in a choice of four finishes: graphite (dark grey), gold, silver and new shade pacific blue (a grey-tinted navy) and sits within a colour-matched stainless steel frame. Like the three other handsets announced last month, the device sports a new flat-edged design. Although they tend to be less vocal than those who want the smallest phones possible and struggle to use handsets with expansive screens, there are plenty of people who love a larger device (myself included), and the iPhone 12 Pro Max is aimed squarely at us. Naturally, the sheer novelty of its size is part of its appeal. The phone will be too large for many people to use single-handed (Photo: Rhiannon Williams/i) Whereas the comparatively tiny iPhone 12 mini is compact enough to hold easily in the palm of a hand, this 6.7-inch screen is too large to wrap my fingers around, making one-handed texting almost impossible due to both its size and weight. Despite having used the Plus and latterly Max iPhones for years, I was surprised at just how huge the iPhone 12 Pro Max actually is. ![]()
