For the first time since Apple introduced the iPhone Max, two high-end models do not share the same cameras. As in the old Plus, The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the best camera available of the whole range.
There is not much difference, The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have three sensors, wide angle, ultra wide angle and telephoto lens, in which we have to install the LiDAR sensor, but there is a slight difference.
Comparison of iPhone 12 Pro Cameras and iPhone 12 Pro Max
Both Pro devices follow share a multitude of definitions and constructions They have 6GB of RAM and have four different sensors in the back, but the Pro Maxs go up a bit.
To fully understand the difference, we will analyze each sensor used by the iPhone 12 Pro separately to see how it changes.
Angular gran angular principal
The great sensor of the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max shares some functions, but also some difference that can be seen in some situations and in simple situations.
| IPhone 12 Pro | IPhone 12 Pro Max | |
|---|---|---|
| Opens | ƒ / 1,6 | ƒ / 1,6 |
| Pixel size | 1,4 µm | 1.7 µm |
| Focus distance | 26mm | 26mm |
| Number of items | 7 | 7 |
| Image stability | Yes | Yes, with the offset sensor |
As you can see, the great iPhone 12 Pro Max sensor has it large pixels therefore the detail and quality of the images will be slightly improved. Otherwise, the Image stabilization is slightly higher on a larger iPhone.
Ultra gran thinner sensor
We continue to analyze the wide sensor of the wide angle, which makes us see a lot more. And in this we found no difference between the one who uses the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
| IPhone 12 Pro | IPhone 12 Pro Max | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Opens | ƒ / 2,4 | ƒ / 2,4 | |
| View field | 120º | 120º | |
| Focus distance | 13 mm | 13 mm | |
| Number of items | 5 | 5 | |
| Image stability | Yes | Yes, with the offset sensor |
Phone sensor
The zoom sensor on the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max is also one of them including some changes. Among them we have a great distance to optical amplification.
| IPhone 12 Pro | IPhone 12 Pro Max | |
|---|---|---|
| Opens | ƒ / 2.0 | ƒ / 2,2 |
| Focus distance | 52 mm | 65 mm |
| Number of items | 6 | 6 |
| Image stability | Yes | Yes |
The key the difference in this sensor is the zoom level that we can see, even if the 12 Pro sensor seems a little clearer than the Pro Max, the difference may be small.
- IPhone 12 Pro: x2 optical zoom in, x2 optical zoom out, and x4 zoom zoom range. Digital zoom up to x10.
- IPhone 12 Pro Max: Visual zoom in x2.5, virtual zoom x2 and zoom x5 list. Digital zoom up to x12.
LiDAR sensor
And before we finish we must not forget the LiDAR sensor, the sensor that can find depth and vision in the dark. It can be very helpful in nighttime photography and portrait mode, and in this case i The LiDAR sensor is similar to the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
Although there is a slight difference, it should be noted that in most cases the images on both iPhones will be almost identical. The larger size of the iPhone 12 Pro Max allows you to select larger sensors that can help in certain situations, but will not make much of a change.
