iPhone 12 Pro Max Tops Consumer Reports Best Smartphones of 2021

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max has topped Consumer Reports' list of the best smartphones of 2021.

According to the site, the addition of 5G connectivity allows Apple to go toe-to-toe with the competition and gives users an incentive to upgrade.

While the 12 Pro Max will cost you $100 more than its smaller sibling, the 12 Pro, it packs in several more hours of battery life, a slightly larger display, and a 2.5x zoom camera that gets you just a hair closer to the action than the 12 Pro's 2x camera. On the flip side, the Max version is significantly heavier and can be tough to use one-handed, even for people with long fingers. If you're wary of bulky phones, you might be happier with the 12 Pro.


The iPhone 12 Pro Max received a score of 86 with a predicted reliability of 5 out of 5, rear image quality of 4 out of 5, rear 1080p video quality of 4 out of 5, and selfie image quality of 4 out of 5. It narrowly beat out the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G which scored 85.
