The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max on Verizon?

Our takeEditorial
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is a capable large-screen flagship that has aged reasonably well. Its 5x optical zoom camera remains a genuine differentiator, the 6.7-inch Dolby Vision OLED display is excellent, and the A14 Bionic handles day-to-day workloads without struggle. The absence of ProMotion is the most noticeable hardware gap versus the 13 Pro series, and the Lightning connector is an ongoing inconvenience. At $361.99 certified pre-owned from Verizon, it offers large-screen Apple hardware at a meaningful discount — particularly attractive for buyers prioritizing zoom range over display refresh rate.
The Optimist
“The iPhone 12 Pro Max deserves more credit than it gets in 2025. That 5x optical zoom is genuinely impressive — more reach than the 13 Pro Max that succeeded it — and the sensor-shift OIS on the main camera was a Pro Max exclusive feature that produced noticeably stabilized images. The A14 Bionic is still fast, the 6.7-inch Dolby Vision OLED is still beautiful, and MagSafe is still convenient. At $362 certified pre-owned, you are getting a very capable large-screen Apple flagship for real money. The 5x zoom alone makes this worth considering over the 13 Pro series for telephoto shooters.”
The Cynic
“The iPhone 12 Pro Max is five years old, and the list of things it lacks relative to current standards is growing. No ProMotion — you're capped at 60Hz while everything around it runs at 120Hz. Lightning connector is a dead standard. No USB-C. The 128 GB storage is fixed and increasingly constraining. The 228g weight is on the heavy side even by large-phone standards. And while 5x optical zoom sounds great, the overall camera pipeline has been significantly refined in subsequent generations. This is an aging device, and the value proposition depends on how much you discount for age.”
