Such camera bumps are not entirely new in the mobile phone industry, as a matter of fact, was introduced in the earlier version of iPhone 11 in response to the demands of many iPhone enthusiasts who wanted Apple to improve the quality of the iPhone’s camera, especially when compared to other Android phones. However, unlike the camera bump of Samsung Galaxy S10, Huawei P30 Pro, and other Chinese manufacturing competitors, that of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is considerably chunkier.
The phone comes with a resolution of 2788 x 1284 pixels and a pixel density of 458 pixels per inch (PPI) with a contrast ratio of 2M:1 for its LCD. Similar to the iPhone 11 series, Apple continued the “Super Retina XDR” on its iPhone 12 Pro Max OLED Multi-Touch display. The display equally has support for Apple’s newest advancement in technology that allows for tapping to wake up or activate the screen, Haptic Touch, swipe gesture in place of the Touch ID Home button, a wide color range that enables it to provide a realistic color and a True Tone, useful in matching the ambient light to the display’s white balance.
iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera
If there is one feature that was consistently highlighted as a significant advantage over previous editions of the iPhone, it has to be the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s camera or cameras. The iPhone 12 Pro Max comes with three rear cameras that include the standard wide-angle camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera with a 120-degree field of view, and a telephoto camera lens. Switching between these cameras is, however, remarkably easy and can be executed by flips of on-screen buttons.
The ultra-wide-angle camera can capture up to six times more scenes compared to what the standard wide-angle lens can capture from the same distance from the subject, which makes it a good way of capturing architecture images, landscape photos, tight shots, group pictures, and many other creative pictures.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max’s camera interface has also undergone some changes that allow users to have that great user experience when trying to capture scenes outside the frame through the use of the ultra-wide-angle camera. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has a 7x optical zoom in and zooms out the range, and its range of the digital zoom is about 12x. It also contains a LiDAR scanner to provide a better night mode experience.
The portrait mode helps you capture photos with a clear focus on the subject and blurred background with bokeh and depth-control.
The addition by Apple of a new Night Mode that takes advantage of the iPhone's high processing capabilities combined with the new wide camera sensor to create crisp, bright, clear photos even in conditions that have very low lighting.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max also comes with Smart HDR 3, which allows for better recognition of people by differentiating them from the rest of the shot. Even though this feature preserves the background elements, it tends to ensure that faces retain their natural-looking skin tones, highlights, shadows, and gestures. The Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning in the capturing of natural-looking images that help improve the highlight and shadow detail.
