Product Information

Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Internet access required. Cellular data charges may apply. The iPhone 12 Pro has a 6.1 inch screen, a noticeable increase from the iPhone 11 Pro which measured 5.8 inches, featuring Apple's industry-leading Super Retina XDR display technology. As the iPhone has been one of the most powerful smartphones in the world for a while now, it almost feels redundant talking about the grunt of the iPhone 12 Pro. However, given that many will be buying it for this reason, it's worth diving into.

The camera features of the iPhones are usually one of the most interesting aspects of Apple's smartphones, with high-quality lenses and smart image processing that surpasses most other smartphones on the market and that's why Apple continue to focus on this strength with their new iPhone 12 Pro models. For one, the cable included needs a USB-C port-toting plug, so it won’t attach to an older one. Those older chargers (we’re talking base iPhone 11 and older) have measly 5w adaptors that charge very slowly. You’ll be looking at multiple hours to fully charge this phone with a 5w charger. The iPhone 12 Pro is one of the fastest phones around – if not the fastest. I haven’t noticed any lag or slowdown during my time with the phone and save for a few iOS 14 bugs the experience has been fluid and fantastic. In the synthetic Geekbench 5 benchmark app – which should give a decent overall view of performance – the phone scores 1597 in single-core and 3968 in multi-core. This is a seriously high score on both counts. Just keep in mind that if you choose not to pay an upfront fee, the monthly price for your contract will likely be considerably higher than normal. iPhone 12 Pro expert review With the MagSafe charger, for example, the magnets align the phone right in the center of the charging pad, and because the iPhone 12 Pro knows it's a compatible charger, it’ll juice up your phone with twice the wireless power of the previous model.The assurance that the unit meets Apple's rigorous quality standards, and that its defective components have been replaced by genuine Apple components The phone is powered by the A14 Bionic chipset, and appears to come with 6GB of RAM (according to our diagnostics) to allow for maximum capability when doing things like the aforementioned video editing on the fly. The new MagSafe works a little differently, ensuring a very firm hold when you snap on an accessory. Currently, these accessories are limited to cases, a charger and a wallet add-on. MagSafe accessories can also communicate what they actually are to your iPhone, which has a number of benefits.

With the iPhone 11 Pro last year, you knew you were getting a seriously better display by paying more over the iPhone 11. That’s not really the case here, as the iPhone 12 is now pretty much on par with this panel. Both are OLED, have the XDR branding and the same resolution. They can also both hit 1200 nits peak brightness when you’re watching HDR content. The only real difference I can spot is a slightly higher general brightness on the Pro model, giving the screen a brighter white look when you’re outside. Performance All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple service provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/batteries and apple.com/iphone/battery.html for more information. Audio from the speakers is very good, call quality is strong and there’s Wi-Fi 6 support if you have the right router. Camera It would have been nice to see 120Hz display technology debut on an iPhone with the Pro and Pro Max. This higher refresh rate makes scrolling around your phone look and feel much more fluid, and considering that a lot of top-end Android phones now have this feature it’s a shame that it's missing from a 2020 Apple model. iPhone 12 Pro review: 5GThe iPhone 12 Pro release date was October 23, 2020, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max followed later in November, but of course they're both readily and widely available now.
