Confirming you have this exact model

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the 6.7-inch model with three rear cameras, and it is the largest phone of its generation. If your three-camera phone is the same size as a standard iPhone 12, you have the 12 Pro.

What this model comes in for

Screens lead by a wide margin on this model. It is the biggest and heaviest phone of its year, and a large flat-sided phone dropped on a corner concentrates a lot of energy on one point of glass.

Rear glass is unusually common here for the same reason. Batteries are third: the Pro Max carries the largest cell of the generation, so it holds up longest.

The camera system on this model

The 12 Pro Max carries the most capable camera array of its generation, and it is the model where a camera fault is most worth repairing rather than living with, because the cameras are a large part of why people bought it.

Test each zoom level before booking and note which are affected. The modules are independent, so only the failed one needs replacing, and that often reduces the cost considerably.

Is it worth repairing?

For a battery or a single camera, yes. This was a flagship and it remains a strong phone.

For a screen, the honest position is that the 12 Pro Max display is the most expensive in its generation. A phone needing that plus rear glass approaches what a good used replacement costs, and ExpressTech will set that out plainly rather than quoting both without comment.

Your data, and your warranty

Your data is not accessed, transferred or erased during a standard hardware repair, and the phone is not wiped in order to repair it. A passcode is not needed for most repairs. Back up beforehand as a general precaution, because hardware that is already failing can fail further during any repair.

Every completed repair is backed by a 12-month warranty on parts and workmanship. It covers faulty parts and workmanship, but does not cover new accidental damage, misuse or unrelated faults after the repair. Liquid damage repairs are excluded from that warranty due to the risk of ongoing corrosion, and this is explained before any liquid work is approved.

Water resistance does not survive the phone being opened, at any repair centre. ExpressTech reseals during reassembly, which returns splash resistance, but a repaired iPhone should be treated as no longer water resistant.

Common questions about iPhone 12 Pro Max repairs

Why is my screen dearer than a 12 Pro screen? The panel is physically larger. It is a genuine parts cost rather than a premium.

My camera rattles when the phone vibrates. What is that? A failed stabiliser in the camera module. It is replaced, and no software fixes it.

Is a six-year-old Pro Max worth a new battery? If the screen and cameras are good, yes, comfortably.
