Is iPhone 12 better than the XS Max?
The iPhone 12 Pro Max has an extra camera and a longer telephoto lens. As Apple's fanciest phone available, getting the iPhone 12 Pro Max means you'll get the very best overall photo and video quality of any iPhone. But it'll also allow for more versatile photography compared to the iPhone XS Max.
Is it worth upgrading from XS Max to 12?
Price. You won't feel much of a difference between the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPhone XS Max in terms of design, display, and performance in day to day usage. However, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is a huge upgrade over the iPhone XS Max in terms of imaging and battery life.
Which is better iPhone XS or Max?
The cameras are miles better — especially in low light — and the A12 chip provides a big speed boost. Between the two, I'd opt for the iPhone XS Max because of its bigger and more immersive 6.5-inch display and longer battery life, but the iPhone XS is the new iPhone to get if you want something more one-hand friendly.
