The way one is enticed to review the images of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is in a comparison of details. And it’s practically begging you to do it. Because it already knows how well it’s going to do there. So well practiced for that round of the fight is the new iPhone, it’s like it’s backing into an alley way, hoping you’ll come try to mug just so it can impress you with its judo. The images are designed to stun you. To flip your mind.
