iPhone 12 Pro Max vs iPhone 16 Pro: Watch This Before You Buy or Upgrade

It is late 2025, and with the shiny new iPhone 17 series out, a lot of you are asking the same question: Is it finally time to retire "Old Faithful"? In this video, I’m doing a humble, real-world comparison between my trusty iPhone 12 Pro Max (Pacific Blue) and the iPhone 16 Pro (Desert Titanium). We aren't just looking at spec sheets; I'm showing you what it actually feels like to switch from Stainless Steel to Titanium, from 60Hz to 120Hz ProMotion, and how the cameras compare side-by-side. We also talk about the "Value Buy" factor. With the iPhone 17 driving prices down, is the iPhone 16 Pro actually the smartest purchase you can make right now? I also touch on why the 6GB RAM on the 12 Pro Max is finally showing its age with Apple Intelligence features in iOS 26. If you are sitting on an iPhone 12, 13, or even 14, this video is for you.
