ProRAW on iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 12 Pro Max - Camera Comparison with iOS 14.3 Beta By Supreet Mobile

Welcome this is part three on my series on pro raw using the iOS 14.3 beta, the 12 pro max has a larger main sensor than the 12 pro and technically should be able to capture superior images and videos. So how does that translate to program? Will the bigger sensor have an edge there? Let's find out here, we have a similar scene to last time with two Mario and a background light for color. We also added a color checker and a small white primary light to start things off. All the testing was done with the 14.3 beta 2 running on both an iPhone 12 Pro and a 12 pro max. So let's start off simple with the well lit scene. Here we have plenty of light hitting our subjects: here's the program image from the 12 pro before any adjustments, and here it is after the adjustments.

Now, let's do the same thing with the 12 pro max: here's the program before any adjustments, and this after adjustments, you might have noticed that I had to more heavily correct the 12 pro image to match the pro max and here's the Lightroom settings side by side. We can see that I had to lower the highlights and boost the shadows more with the 12 pro. This gives us a hint that the pro max has more dynamic range to work, with keep in mind that, with pro raw, I was still able to get the same. Look with both phones here so far. Both phones are very close.

Let's increase the difficulty and turn off that white primary light. Also, if you're enjoying this video, please hit the like button, and here is the low light pro raw from the 12 pro after some edits. We can get it looking quite a bit better. Now, let's do the same thing with the 12 pro max raw. This looks pretty good too, but there are some differences: let's pull them up side by side.

Look at how the 12 pro image almost looks red in comparison to the pro max, which is a little more orange. The light coming from the 8-bit Mario was very orange in reality, so the pro-max was better able to handle this tricky lighting scenario that was pretty close. Let's go even further with night mode. Here again is the pro raw from the 12 pro after editing. Here's a side-by-side comparison with the regular pro raw image.

We can see that it looks pretty similar to the previous images. It's a little cleaner because of the night mode. Strangely, though, these raw files are darker and I needed to boost the exposure by about one stop to get them. Looking the same, you'll notice that night mode makes the image cleaner for both phones, but it's not perfect. Take a look at the shadows behind the color checker on the regular pro raw image with night mode.

Here we can see that the shadows have somehow been processed out, which is not really accurate, seems like the image processing went a bit too far here. Overall, there are trade-offs to using night mode, so keep a close eye on your images. So we can see that in all three scenarios there is a slight edge to the pro max, but it's a lot more minimal than I had expected. So the ultimate question is: is the 12 pro max worth it just for the camera? Well, maybe, if you're into making videos but for photos, the camera itself isn't enough of a reason on its own with pro raw, we can get some similar results, even with the 12 pro apple has done an amazing job, keeping the camera performance very close between the 12 pro and the 12 pro max. I think the size of the device should be a bigger factor than the camera for most people there's more pro raw content.

Coming as it gets closer to release. Who knows, maybe the pro max will pull ahead with updates, make sure you're subscribed and like this video, if you haven't already thanks again for watching, and I'll see you in the next one bye, you.
