First, let's compare with the conventional model iPhone 12 Pro Max. We will also compare the iPhone XS Max, which is the previous generation.

As you can see from this table, the difference from the conventional model is very small. The camera section, which has nothing to do with e-book use, has evolved significantly, but there is no noticeable difference around the display. If you force it, the ProMotion technology, which changes the refresh rate according to the display content, is related to operations that use a lot of scrolling (described later).
The advantage is that the driving time has been extended, and the video playback time has increased from 20 hours to 28 hours, which is actually 1.4 times. It is not so important for e-book use that does not consume much power, but it should be useful for applications that consume a lot of battery such as video shooting, and as a result, it will have the benefit of increasing the time that can be used for e-books.
The only thing that bothers me is the weight gain. The difference from the conventional model is 12g, which is not a large value, but it is troublesome that it is already quite heavy and has increased further. This product is also a flagship model, so I understand that it must be full, but I would like you to put a brake on the momentum that could reach the 250g mark.
Other specifications are almost the same as before, biometric authentication is only Face ID as before, Touch ID support has been postponed, and the connector is still Lightning. The MagSafe on the back can be used to adsorb accessories and charge as before. The author does not use Lightning for charging and uses this MagSafe almost exclusively, but the seamless charging environment obtained by preparing a charger for each room is really comfortable.
