The iPhone 12 Pro Max was released on November 13th, 2020 starting at $1,099 USD, the same price as the iPhone 11 Pro Max before it, but the base configuration now grants 128 GB of storage: double the capacity of the previous base model. It also features an upsized 6.7” Super Retina XDR OLED display with an upgraded resolution versus the 6.5” display in the iPhone 11 Pro Max. All four iPhones in Apple’s 2020 lineup dropped their curved edges in favor of a flat stainless steel form-factor and add 5G connectivity and a new MagSafe charging system. For the first time, Apple opted not to include a power adapter or EarPods in the box for any of the iPhone 12 series—only a Lightning to USB-C cable. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is offered in updated versions of the classic Gold and Silver color options, as well as Graphite and Pacific Blue.

The most often replaced iPhone 12 Pro Max parts include the battery, screen, speakers, and lenses.

You can identify the iPhone 12 Pro Max by finding one of the model numbers either on the inner edge of the SIM card tray or within the phone's Settings app:

• A2342
• A2410
• A2412
• A2411

You can find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like the numbers above.

The iPhone 12 Pro features a 6.7 in (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, and a notch at the top of the screen to accommodate a speaker and selfie camera. The back cover is glass and the edge frame is made from flat stainless steel.

Volume controls and the SIM tray can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A rectangular camera "bump" containing three cameras in a triagonal layout protrudes slightly from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max can be differentiated from the iPhone 12 Pro by the 6.7 in screen (relative to the 6.1 in screen on the standard Pro model).
