Not sure if there is another thread discussing this, but I went to get a new black Apple leather case for my 12 pro max today. My local bestbuy did not have one in stock so I tried a 13 pro max case on my 12 pro max phone. And it fits great!!!Camera cut out is slightly bigger but not enough to be noticeable or a bother. All corners fit amazing, honestly better than any of my 12 pro max leather cases have, all buttons work and are responsive!
Curious if anyone has also had this experience?

They are deemed officially incompatible with one another due to differing standards in camera bump and button placement and Apple passively makes this clear as the coloured MagSafe ring animation wouldn’t activate when putting a 13PM case on a 12PM, even if the magnets align. Also - wouldn’t the buttons not be aligned correctly even if they work?
