[* black] Unmasked, the iPhone 12 Pro Max standard-wide sensor is... large. Not unlike the phone it lives in.
-[* black] Usually we're skeptical to hear that a Pro feature can only make it into the larger of the two phones, but there's a decent chance this actually would not fit in the cramped camera corner of the smaller iPhone 12 Pro.
+[* black] Usually we're skeptical when a "Pro" feature only makes it into a larger, more expensive phone. But there's a decent chance this sensor wouldn't fit in the cramped camera corner of the smaller iPhone 12 Pro.
[* black] The new sensor dwarfs the iPhone 12's standard-wide. It's 47% larger but has the same 12 MP resolution, so its pixels are larger and can capture more light.
[* black] Aside from bringing in more light, this new sensor has another trick up its sleeve: sensor-shift image stabilization.
- [* black] Sensor-shift image stabilization is a technology a lot of modern DSLR and mirrorless cameras use. TL;DR there are two main ways to stabilize a camera: you can move the ''lens,'' or you can move the ''sensor.'' We'll let you guess which one sensor-shift stabilization moves. ;)
- [* black] Most smartphones that tout image stabilization are using lens-based stabe. There have been many internet battles fought over which stabilization technique is more effective in professional cameras.

[* black] Since Apple went this far out of their way to bring sensor-shift to the iPhone, either they think sensor-shift is the way to go, or perhaps they weren't able to adequately stabilize the larger version of their new f/1.6 lens.
