FX PHOTO STUDIO PRO VS APERTURE PRO
While both camera setups look similar, the Pro and the Pro Max have different hardware, which we’ll discuss later in this face-off.
The duo is also equipped with a LiDAR scanner. Both the Pro and the Pro Max have three 12MP lenses: ultra-wide, wide and telephoto. On the bottom edge is a set of Dolby Atmos speakers and mics you’ll also find a lightning port for charging. On the right edge is a side button that can be used to awaken the device and activate Siri. You’ll find a silencer button and the volume buttons on the left side of both phones. Many Apple fans don’t care about the notch, but after feasting my eyes on screen-spacious phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21 and the LG Wing, the notch is unbecoming. Moving on to the display, both phones sport ultra-slim bezels and an unsightly notch that houses the 12MP selfie camera, hindering the display from offering a high screen-to-body ratio. “Pacific Blue,” by and large, is everyone’s favorite Pro and Pro Max color ahead of all the other three options: Silver, Gold and Graphite. Apple opted for a flat-edge, iPhone 4-esque design that reminds me of a thick candy bar cloaked in luxurious wrapping. Other than their dimensions, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max’s core design elements are the same.
IPhone 12 Pro Max (Image credit: Laptop Mag) The most expensive configuration, the version we reviewed, costs $1,299 with 512GB of storage. The iPhone 12 Pro starts at $999 for a 128GB model with 6GB of RAM and goes up to $1,099 for the 256GB version.
