iPhone 12 Pro Max Price in Jordan

Why consider it?

The cheapest route into an Apple Pro camera: a triple 12MP system with a real telephoto and a 5x optical zoom range, plus a LiDAR Scanner and ProRAW capture — none of which exists on the 14 Plus or the 13 mini, despite both being newer.

Who it suits

Someone who shoots a lot and wants a telephoto lens, ProRAW files and Dolby Vision video, and does not mind a 2020 phone or a quarter of a kilo in the hand.

Who should look elsewhere

Anyone who wants a light phone, the longest possible software life — this is the oldest chip in the round — or a high-refresh display.

Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence

Everything the 12 Pro Max is worth sits in the word "Pro"; the rest is its age. We have not tested it, and the figures below come straight from Apple's page.

The camera is the real difference. Three 12MP lenses: an f/2.4 ultra-wide, an f/1.6 wide with sensor-shift stabilisation and an f/2.2 telephoto, giving a 5x optical zoom range that runs from 2.5x in to 2x out, with digital zoom to 12x. Apple adds a LiDAR Scanner, Apple ProRAW capture and Dolby Vision HDR recording up to 60 fps, and Night mode that extends to the 12MP f/2.2 front camera. None of that appears on the 14 Plus or the 13 mini we cover in this same round, even though both are newer phones.

The display is 6.7 inches at 2778x1284 and 458 ppi — numerically the same panel as the 14 Plus — rated 800 nits typical and 1200 nits in HDR, with no refresh rate published by Apple.

What you pay for that is age and mass. The A14 Bionic launched in 2020 and is the oldest chip in this round. Apple's newest published iOS release (26.6.2, 8 September 2026) is still available for "iPhone 11 and later", so the phone is supported today, but it is the nearest of the four to the edge when that list moves, and we will not promise a year Apple has not published. The body is 228 grams at 7.4mm.

Our catalogue records 3687mAh, 6GB of RAM and 20W; Apple publishes none of them. What is published: 20 hours of video, 12 streamed, 80 hours of audio, and 50% in 30 minutes with a 20W-or-higher adapter. It shipped in 128, 256 and 512GB, and the range we quote is estimated, not observed.

Alternatives worth comparing

• Galaxy S24 FE — At the same money (≈ 289), our catalogue lists the Galaxy S24 FE as a 2024 phone with a 6.7-inch 120Hz screen and a 50+12+8 camera set. It cannot match the optical zoom range here, but it is four years newer — which is precisely what the 12 Pro Max lacks. (289 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
• Galaxy S22 Ultra — Also at ≈ 289, our data gives the S22 Ultra a 108+12+10+10 camera array, a listed 5000mAh battery and a 6.8-inch 120Hz screen. It attacks the 12 Pro Max exactly where it lives — wider zoom reach and a bigger cell on paper — but it is a 2022 device in its own right, so this is a choice between ecosystems rather than between new and old.

Strengths and trade-offs in detail ›

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above

Take it if the camera is the reason for the purchase: a telephoto, ProRAW and LiDAR starting at ≈ 289 is not a common combination in this bracket, and no cheaper iPhone offers it. Avoid it if you intend to keep the phone for years, because a 2020 chip means buying the end of Apple's support list closest to the edge — and our ≈ 289 to ≈ 335 range is an unverified estimate.
