- On the 12 Pro Max, the main wide camera and the telephoto camera are considerably different. The wide features the same f/1.6 lens as the 12 and 12 Pro, but it also has a 47 percent larger physical sensor, which allows it to catch more light with less noise. The wide camera is also stabilized differently than the other iPhone 12 models, which have traditional lens-based optical image stabilization to reduce vibrations and thus blur.
- Sensor-shift stabilisation is used on the 12 Pro Max to eliminate vibrations by moving the sensor itself around. Apple claims that the switch to sensor-shift stabilisation on the 12 Pro Max was motivated by a desire to ensure that this sensor size met Apple's standards rather than overall performance, but that the system on the 12 Pro Max is slightly more effective at reducing a wider range of vibrations than the OIS on the 12 Pro.
