Considering an upgrade

Screen diagonals are 6.7″ and 6.1″. iPhone 12 Pro Max has the larger display, useful when space for spreadsheets, documents or multiple windows matters. This comparison covers the stated sizes; a different chassis size may change the conclusion.

iPhone 11 is 34 g lighter (228 versus 194 g). That is a concrete advantage when carrying the device frequently, and usually matters less at a desk.

Specified maximum SDR brightness is 800 and 625 nits, higher on iPhone 12 Pro Max. Consider this in bright ambient light. HDR brightness is a separate specification.
