Introduction
Switching from an Android phone to an iPhone comes with its share of challenges and, not surprisingly, many people find that it takes them some time to adjust to their new iPhones especially in the later stage of life.
For persons with love and passion for smartphone photography, having an iPhone becomes something more than just having a device for making and receiving calls, rather something that serves a higher purpose.
Beyond that, the iPhone is a flagship mostly because of the kind of camera and photo quality it possesses. But having a flagship without knowing how to use it is as good as not having it at all which is why a good book like this was written to make that learning phase easy on you. Through many hours of the best of research, you can finally be able to get the best results out of your device and use your iPhone 12 Pro Max to the best of its potential.
The amount of research put into writing this Guide was so that lovers of photography who have switched or are looking to switch to iPhone 12 Pro Max can get started with using both the basic and advanced features of their phones as soon as possible and use it to start producing photographs of startling effects.
As a photography lover, I love every moment of it. The iPhone has proven to be a life-changing experience for me because whenever I go for an evening walk, a movie night, a casual hang out with friends, or an official tour, there are always moments of interest that I want to document through photos. In such moments, having a professional camera is very useful for me, however, having my iPhone 12 Pro Max provides a great alternative to the professional camera since they are not easy to carry around with us everywhere.
While writing this Guide, I came across many hidden and not frequently used undiscovered features that many ordinary users will probably not be aware of or only probably stumble into in the course of trying to navigate their way through the phone. Some of these features are those used only by professionals who may not even be aware that the iPhone 12 Pro Max can do many of the things they think can only be achieved with their DSLR camera.
This book is a result of many hours of going through the iPhone some of which have some high learning curves because of their level of difficulty. These hidden features that many people may not realize they have in their hands and many more things are the things this book aims to share with you to take you to the pinnacle of photography.
Whether you are a beginner or photography savvy, you will find amazing content in this Guide to boost your skills and explore new things.
Chapter 1
🙦🙤🙦🙤🙦🙤
Introducing the iPhone 12 Pro Max
Two main types of smartphones have dominated the phone market, iPhone, and Android. I will not be giving you a detailed comparison between both specs, details of both and the pros and cons of them can already be found on the internet, but I will only tell you about my personal experience.
For me, it would not have been possible to achieve my dream of smartphone photography without my iPhone. Without my iPhone, I simply would not have taken so many great photographs. So, for anyone who wants to take their smartphone photography to the next level or take great photos of their activities during their retired life having this book and an iPhone in their hand can make quite a lot of difference.
The most recent iPhones offered by Apple are as amazing as cell phones can be at this time. Apple has introduced four new phones in October 2020, namely: iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro max.
This means that there will be a lot more options for users to choose from. But in this book, we will be focusing our attention on the iPhone 12 Pro Max. It is in a phone that is in a class of its own because of its prominent refreshed design, amazing, powerful performance with the latest chip and processor, taking photography to the next level with the help of pro cameras, lightning-fast 5G, wireless charging, and sturdy screen (due to ceramic shield protection technology).
Apple has finally given us something that may not be so breathtaking, but rather gives a refreshing look. With the addition of widgets and freedom of default app choice, you feel more comfortable with it than ever before. Along with that, the privacy changes are a welcome development, and Apple has always been keen on providing its users a friendly touch. And the most amazing part of this iOS 14 update is that it is compatible with all the previously existing iPhone models along with all of these changes. So, this is excellent news for all the existing and new iPhone users as they can experience this new look together. In a nutshell, all of these changes are worth it, and it's time to say goodbye to the outdated, rigid grid.
iPhone 12 Pro Max will be love at first sight for the people who love photography or more specifically, smartphone photography because of its advanced camera features. It has a triple-lens camera (the third lens provides the zooming function). The thing that dramatically improves the photography experience in iPhone 12 Pro Max is the LiDAR sensor (Light Detection and Ranging Sensor). This sensor enables the camera to measure distances or ranges more efficiently, take pro-level photos in the dark, and provide faster performance.
All in all, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is an ideal choice for people interested in smartphone photography and want their phone camera photos to stand out.
iPhone 12 Pro Max Display and Design at a Glance
iPhone 12 lineup introduction got the most prominent and dramatic design upgrade it has seen in many years. This design shows a clear distinction from the typical design Apple has shown these few past years.
The new iPhone 12 Pro Max has flat metal edges, which resemble the design of vintage models like the iPhone 5s or the models before that. It also has a glass front and back, but retained the textured matte finish of the iPhone 11 Pro Max. These flat stainless-steel edges, gleaming like jewels, gives the phone a more distinguished and premium look.
iPhone12 Pro Max is covered by a layer of a ceramic shield, which is Apple's new technology for the protection of the phone to make it more rigid and according to the company, this shield makes the iPhone four times sturdier than its forerunners, meaning it has more chances of surviving a drop without getting any crack, breaking or scratches.
Apple further improved the iPhone 12 Pro Max's design by providing a bigger and better Super Retina XDR OLED 6.7-inch display; this was achieved by reducing the bezel (the borders that frame the screen) to make more room for the display. The front screen still has a top-notch where the front camera and face ID tech sensors are located. When changing from an older iPhone having an LCD, the display changes can be seen due to local dimming while watching a movie's dark scene.
Another notable thing is that the iPhone 12 Pro Max design is further supplemented by different colors, especially the pacific blue variant. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is also available in silver, gold, and graphite color.
What’s New?
This is a very lucky and exciting year for iPhone users, as the complete iPhone 12 line-up got some serious upgrades in design, features, and hardware.
The iPhone 12 Pro Max can be called the cream of this line-up with its out-of-world features, a stainless steel frame with shiny flat sides to give it a premium feel; a huge 6.7-inch Retina XDR display; a small notch, and more screen with high pixel density, which enables you to have a cinema-like experience.
It also features a rocket-fast A14 bionic chip with a powerful processor that has never been seen ever before to run your games and other applications at full potential without any lags or glitches.
Also included is the latest 5G technology for fast downloads and browsing; a new camera system with amazing features to take the day and night photography to the next level; some newly added features like LiDAR sensor and ProRAW, increased RAM, and huge storage space so that you can store anything you want in your phone; a strong body, which is protected by the Apple’s new protection technology known as Ceramic Shield which makes it four times stronger than the former models.
With all these, Apple has taken a huge leap towards the future, and in my view, it will reign supreme in the upcoming time with all these super amazing features.

iOS 14 Basic Overview
In the previous software updates, Apple focused on giving updates that provided more stability and speed, but they have come up with something that will shake its stabilized and established norms. It has brought a lot of changes that are going to change the basic homely look, and the things you are used to seeing, but the best thing about this kind is that it is optional. And if something doesn't feel home to you, then you can simply opt-out of it, but there are plenty that you will love and are surely worth the try.
iOS 14 looks brand new. Feels like home. According to Apple's brand statement, iOS 14 is unique, with all-new features a rediscovered look and design. They have made it user friendly more than ever before with the use of amazing new techniques and artificial intelligence that will enable the application you use frequently adjust themselves with ease to give you a personalized touch so that even elderly people can easily navigate and find their way around the user interface. and help you out in navigation in the elderly age by providing convenience and recommendations for use.
They have also added some cool new things like a picture in picture video mode, transition apps, intelligent new widgets, and freedom of choice to switch the default app for getting your daily tasks done like email, which helps to make it suitable for some elders and people who are not tech-savvy and like doing things in simple ways.
If we take a deep look at the changes and features introduced in this iOS 14 update, it seems to be one of Apple's most significant updates in recent times, and it has completely re-shaped the things your iPhone can do.
Home Screen and Widgets
The home screen of the iPhone has never changed since it was first introduced in 2007. There was that same Grid in which the icons were stacked in a row, and the only changeable option was the order, which looked boring and outdated because of the uniformity. But the good thing is that if we use all the new widgets and app library features iOS 14 has come up with, your home screen isn't going to look the same ever again.
Also, this helps to make it easy to use the phone including making the phone’s customization easy in such a way as to also suit the elderly. to help you adjust it the way you want in your elderly life to ensure usability and easiness it.
App Library
This feature removes the hassle and dilemma usually associated with having a screen filled with too many apps.
With the help of this feature, you are now able to access this newly introduced library feature that will automatically stash all your alphabetical order applications by swiping to the right. And in addition to that, it allows you to remove the extra apps from your home screen and add them to it so that you could get the easiest user experience ever in your old days.
You do not have to delete the less used apps to keep them away from your home screen. Simply long-press on the app icon and move it to the app library by clicking the newly added feature instead of deleting or hiding it. And that's not all: you can even hide or banish a complete page out of your home screen by simply long-pressing the home screen and clicking on the three dots that appear at the bottom, which will allow you to un-tick the pages you don't want so that you could get the best experience especially at this stage of your life.
Compact User Interface
Apple has given us a long-awaited but very much needed update in iOS 14 by introducing the compact user interface, which has rectified many issues Apple users, elderly people, or the ones who are not tech-savvy were facing in previous versions of the iPhone. A few of the significant features of these changes are
Phone Calls
Face Time Calls
SIRI
Picture in Picture
Third-Party Apps
Phone Calls
Now the calls will not take you away from your loved task by covering up the whole screen; instead, it will appear as a compact notification that will allow you to answer or reject it right from that with a simple swipe. Swiping up on it will dismiss the call, and if you choose to swipe down, it will take you to the whole standard screen where you can access all the standard features just like in the past.
With the way calls can now be taken, your hands can still be used to carry on with whatever tasks you have to do, and it won’t disrupt you from doing them on your phone.
Face Time Calls
To make things easier and friendly the same is the case here, as mentioned above, for the phone calls. Suppose your grandchildren or son calls you on face time and you are going through an Instagram video or reading a book. In that case, it will appear at the top as a compact notification while you can continue your work, and then you can choose to either pick up that call or reject it by simply swiping up or down as per your choice. Swiping up will dismiss the call and swiping down will again take you to the face time main menu where you can perform any action within the app as you please.
SIRI
As an elder, nothing can beat SIRI in providing the necessary bit of help you always require while operating your phone. Apple has made SIRI more compact and up to date than ever before. It will not pop up on your home screen; instead, it will just give the piece of information you have asked for in the form of a small notification at the top corner of the screen where you can read it while performing your task very quickly.
Picture in Picture
Apple has introduced another cool feature that will allow you to take a call while watching a video or watching a video while going through the emails. This feature is very helpful in case you want to explain something to anyone back in the office or take down notes while watching a video you can easily access both on one screen. It enables you to resize, move and minimize the split window appearing on your screen by simply pinching it or squeezing it with your fingers, and you can close it by swiping it off your screen. The finest part is you can continue to listen to audios and watch videos in your background.
Third-Party Applications
Third-Party applications like Skype have access to act as other iPhone calls and appear in the notification bar in a compact manner that is easy to manage so if any of your children or grandchildren are living abroad and you don’t want to miss out on any skype or IMO notification use this awesome feature.
Messages
Remaining linked with your loved ones is more critical than ever before. Apple pledges to take care of your every pain, and this time they have come up with a better way to help you stay in touch through their built-in messaging app especially if you want to take care of loneliness without even bothering others with a call leave them a message and use this awesome application to stay connected with loved ones throughout the day.
