 Hey guys, Thundy here and welcome to my iPhone 12 mini 12 12 pro 12 for max gaming review now we decided to do all devices together because it made a lot of sense since they have a lot of internals that are similar now before we go ahead and start don't forget to hit that subscribe button and notification icon to get notified with our latest videos so looking at all the iPhones Apple has crafted four new iPhones for us this year very similar in design of course but also striking in differences you know looking at the mini it's the smallest iPhone at 5.4 inches it's got a small display but right are still spacious enough especially when you want to gain then you go over to the 12 and 12 pro they are similar in size differences are in the camera but the internals also slightly different because the 12 has 4 gigs of RAM of the 12 pro has 6 now you move over to 12 pro max which is 6.7 inches the behemoth of the device this has 6 gigs of RAM but also a larger battery about 3800 milliamps which should come into play especially if you're spending long hours gaming all devices are 5g capable which means you can do of course gaming over 5g whether you're playing games like call of duty war zone or even connecting directly to your xbox you know 5g ultra wide man on verizing is great for that but you have 5g connectivity with t-mobile and other carriers as well so that those aspects are there but let's talk about these speakers first so they all have stereo speakers including the mini what's interesting is that apple uses dobby vision for their cameras but no dobby atmos something we know a lot of android manufacturers do use nowadays which helps improve audio so let's listen to the audio on all four of the devices as well as the galaxy note 20 ultra for just a reference from the other side and we can compare and contrast to see where they land so let's roll that and play so first off the mini actually sounds really good small sub form factor but still really good speakers built into it so it looks like apple is using the same speakers across the board for all their devices you do hear variances in terms of sound levels between all of them uh the pro max sounds loudest and also i think just a pitch the clearest in all now when you compare all of them to the galaxy note 20 ultra the note 20 ultra sounds more bassy and you can hear that crunch within the middle where the bass kind of overcrowded just the middle of it while the iphone especially the 12 pro max it's more spacious there so you can hear more of those syllables come out if you want something with more bass dobby atmos note 20 ultra does it for you the iphone has much more clearer routines here so i do like the speakers on all the iphone's i think the pro max is slightly loudest but the mini is definitely not loud okay so let's move over to gaming what you guys are being waiting for with this video how does the iphone perform over time in gaming right now as i mentioned you either will have four gigs of ram or six gigs four gigs for the mini and the 12 and six gigs around for the 12 pro and the 12 pro max when it comes to gaming performance doesn't matter if you're throwing call duty mobile which you do 60 frames per second across all devices which is pretty nice although member apple doesn't have a higher refresh rate display so it's capped at that if you will um and you're playing games like uh pubg mobile pubg at its highest settings we're all doing 39 40 frames per second that's also standard uh when you go to smooth extreme you go up to 60 frames a second on all four devices it's something you clearly see on the mini 12 12 pro 12 pro max now the game that everybody wanted me to spend some time with is genshin impact now this is a game that we cranked it up to the highest setting 60 frames per second and then some people say no you don't play like that it doesn't matter i want to see how this functions in terms of just performance now in our initial gameplay with the 12 pro max it didn't do so well we had the update to i to ios 14.2 on all the devices and we played all of them pro the mini pro max and of course the 12 and we got the same results same frame rates high solid across the board for each of these devices which was good to see so it shows that the performance of the iphone is pretty solid across the board depending on what you play now there were some little sort of dips while playing and you will not see that reflected in the frame rate you're seeing on screen when you play over a longer period of time you tend to see those dips that's something that a lot of people won't tell you or show you it's because you get that downclocking for one clear reason these devices run super hot they run really really hot get up to like 107 degrees sometimes 110 or even slightly more with the iphone 12 pro max 12 the mini all of them run really hot and they run hot really quick so in terms of temperatures i got to those temperatures really quick and roughly around with genshin impact in roughly around 10 to 15 minutes very fast very quick sometimes even quicker than that so that's something to bear in mind when you're playing over long periods of time with highly graphically intensive games on the iphone 12 series now which is the best for you to game on honestly it's a really simple matter it's the 12 pro max for a couple of reasons the pro max has a bigger display so in terms of your buttons you've got more space for button layouts which the mini does not provide you also have a bigger battery on the 12 pro max as well and that battery will carry you longer in your gameplay sessions so that's also good to see and the speakers are slightly better as we saw now going to the mini the mini is no slouch it does pretty well but i've noticed in my gameplay sessions battery runs out much faster than any of the other devices that's just something happens and again it's indicative of the battery size you find in there and that's what you're going to get so if you're going to game for a long period of time the mini is not the device for you now the 12 and 12 pro are similar in terms of gaming performance even though one has four gigs with the 12 and the 12 pro has six gigabytes you're getting about the same gameplay performance it's also the same battery drain as well so i think when you look at the iphone line there is something for everyone in terms of size if you're a gamer and you want to spend a lot of time mobile gaming the pro max is where you want to go the battery life is there for you in a longer period of time the screen real estate is much larger for you and you've got slightly better speakers at least in my opinion what i want to know from you guys is which device do you have within the iphone 12 line and what do you think about them especially when you're gaming right let me know your thoughts leave them down below now guys if you have any questions or
