Will iPhone 12 case fit iPhone 13 Pro Max

The new iPhone 13 lineup is available and it features a design quite similar to the iPhone 12. However, there is one small change the means your iPhone 12 cases won’t fit your new precious.

9to5Mac made some calculations as to the similarities and the differences in measurements of the two iPhone lineups. Here’s what they found.

The dimensions are the same between the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 :

  • Height: 5.78 inches
  • Width: 2.82 inches
  • Thickness: 0.30 inches

And here are the dimensions of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro:

  • Height: 5.78 inches
  • Width: 2.82 inches
  • Thickness: 0.29 inches

While the measurements above are close to identical, the camera bump on the back of the iPhone 13 has been redesigned and is larger on the iPhone 13. This means that the iPhone 12 cases will not fit your new iPhone 13 handset.

There is a similar issue with the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. Again, changes in the camera capabilities and their accompanying bump cause the cases designed for the iPhone 12 mini to not fit the iPhone 13 mini.

iPhone 12 mini dimensions:

  • Height: 5.18 inches
  • Widgets: 2.53 inches
  • Thickness 0.29 inches

iPhone 13 mini dimensions:

  • Height: 5.18 inches
  • Widgets: 2.53 inches
  • Thickness 0.30 inches

It’s the same story with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max.  Because of changes to the camera bump design, iPhone 12 Pro Max cases will not fit the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

iPhone 12 Pro Max dimensions:

  • Height: 6.33 inches
  • Width: 3.07 inches
  • Thickness: 0.29 inches

iPhone 13 Pro Max dimensions:

  • Width: 3.07 inches
  • Height: 6.33 inches
  • Thickness: 0.30 inches

These minor changes all mean that your iPhone 12 cases will not fit your new iPhone 13. Luckily, between Apple’s first-party cases and the options offered by third-party case makers.

Will iPhone 12 case fit iPhone 13 Pro Max

Basically as the title says, I want to buy the mous intralock phone case but they only do it for the 13 pro max not 12 pro max and I’m not sure if it would fit my phone is anyone aware if they would?

Will iPhone 12 case fit iPhone 13 Pro Max

level 1

It would be a little tiny bit loose as the 13 pro max is slightly thicker and you might have a small gap around the square camera housing.

level 2

Damn will have to look for another option, thank you for the reply

level 1

I have two 13 Pro Max cases for my 12 Pro Max. The only difference is the hole for the camera is slightly wider on the newer phone. Overall fit as far as I can tell is the same. Not sure how it might go with the intralock but with a uag and tech21 case it’s good for me.

level 1

I have a Phone Rebel Gen3 case on my 12 Pro Max. The cutouts for the lightning port and speakers match. The mute switch is a bit of center; that may be the most noticable difference with all 13 Pro Max cases. But, it doesn't interfere. The camera cutout is also a bit bigger but not too noticeable. These two phones have the same dimensions. Hope this helps.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Hi. I have a a promax 12 I purchased last year. I look at the specs and it looks like the promax 13 will fit in my promax 12 phone cases. Will that work?

There are slight differences. Even a mm difference can make enough of a difference to prevent a 12 Pro Max case from fitting a 13 Pro Max. I would personally advise you be prepared with a case specifically made for the 13 Pro Max.

I have 12 Pro Max and have already ordered a new case for the 13 Pro Max.

Also, if you go out to Amazon.com and look at iPhone 13 Pro Max cases, you won't find any which say they also fit iPhone 12 Pro Max.

can iphone 12 promax cases fit the promax 13?

Are the 12 and 13 iPhone Pro Max the same size?

iPhone 13 Pro Max vs iPhone 12 Pro Max in a nutshell: Nearly identical design and styling, newer phone a bit thicker and heavier. Notch is 20% smaller. Same 6.7" screen size, 120Hz ProMotion vs 60Hz.

Is iPhone 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max the same case?

However, only a handful of people would notice that the iPhone 12 Pro Max weighed 228g while the 13 Pro Max came in at 240g. It should be noted that we can't use our old iPhone 12 phone case with this new device, it's a better idea to get an entirely new case.
