The iPhone 12 Pro Max liked the color reproduction of skin tones, great detail in good lighting, the wide dynamic range when shooting video, and accurate white balance. Cons – again, noise, artifacts when shooting video, problems with white balance (sometimes), and blurring of objects in the background due to the lack of an autofocus system.
