T he first thing that might strike you when unboxing the iPhone 12 Pro Max, is its size and weight. The phone weighs in at just 226g. At 160.8x 78.1x7.4mm, anyone with relatively small hands might be a little concerned about being able to comfortably hold it one-handed, especially when using it to take photos. Fortunately, you can set the iPhone 12 Pro Max up to trigger the Camera app’s shutter when clicking the volume button, so you can compose photos and shoot single-handed.
There is an added bit of jeopardy though, thanks to the slippery smoothness of the matt glass back and stainless steel edge. Apple claim the iPhone 12 Pro Max has four times better drop performance than the iPhone 11 Pro, but nobody’s too keen to put that to the test. With an IP68 rating, the phone is also splash-and water-resistant.
