Released in October 2020, the Apple iPhone 12 Pro is one of a tight-knit family of four new “12” devices from the Cupertino giant. The same size as its non-Pro 12 sibling, smaller than the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and obviously larger than the iPhone 12 Mini, this particular device comes with a Super...

Apple iPhone 12 Pro review: Better than the iPhone 12 but only slightly, the iPhone 12 Pro isn’t quite worth the £200 premium

Durable ceramic shield glass; Dolby Vision video at 60fps; Very powerful

Mediocre battery life; Cameras can suffer bad lens flare

If you're a serious creative who doesn't want a huge phone, the iPhone 12 Pro packs superior imaging and video capability into a reasonably sized, beautifully designed body.

Excellent night photo capabilities; Optical zoom camera; iOS has the best third-party photo apps; Beautiful design; Solid battery life

Technically only 2x optical zoom camera; AT&T and Verizon 5G underwhelms; Charging and power adapter situation is confusing

“The iPhone 12 Pro is the choice for those who want to take their phone experience beyond the ordinary.”

Exceptional design and build; Fantastic photo and video quality; High-quality display; Universal 5G networking

MagSafe utility is questionable; Limited improvements over iPhone 12

The iPhone 12 Pro is definitely the best iPhone that Apple has ever introduced to date. It proved to hit all the right notes in this review, especially with the nice bright OLED panel, great processor performance and new camera features.

Noble design language; Very bright display; Night mode for front and ultra-wide-angle cameras; Fast processor

No charging adapter included; High price; Average battery life

If you’re already a fan of the iPhone brand, you’ll likely be thrilled with the iPhone 12 Pro series - whichever of the two models you decide to opt for. There’s lots to like, with simplicity of operation, 5G connectivity, 4K video recording and excellent stills results all going for them.

Great screens; Triple lens set up; Easy to use; Excellent stills and video performance; Can shoot in raw format

High price; No “advanced” camera mode; Can’t expand inbuilt memory

At first glance, the iPhone 12 Pro looks like a phone that's caught between two stools. With the same dimensions and chipset as the iPhone 12, it’s easy to wonder whether the Pro is worth the extra cash – especially when the iPhone 12 Pro Max is out there with a better camera sensor and longer battery life. There are some useful upgrades here – not least the camera, and the jump to 128GB of storage in the cheapest model, and it also comes in more muted, premium-looking colors. It's the more mature iPhone for sure – but it's tough to say it's got enough to encourage you to upgrade.

Nice color choices; Most powerful smartphone out; MagSafe technology works well;

No charging block in box; 5G still an expensive luxury; Battery could be better

The iPhone 12 Pro is a premium smartphone, complete with medical-grade stainless steel frame, an upgraded LiDAR sensor and the ability to record [email protected] Dolby Vision HDR video, but with so many similarities to the standard iPhone 12, it's not a cut-and-dry recommendation.

Premium build; Bigger display than last year; [email protected] Dolby Vision video support;

Very similar to iPhone 12; Expensive; Standard 60Hz refresh rate;

So we bought my husband this new phone upgrading from the iPhone 6S (yes, believe it or not some have survived this long) in the Boxing Day sales at The Good Guys Lutchwyche (Brisbane). The graphics, resolution and ease of use was pleasantly surprising (having changed from an iPhone with home button to one without). One of our biggest concerns was transferring all of the data, photos etc across from the iPhone 6 to the 12 however with the advice of the sales rep at The Good Guys the process was really simple similar to using airdrop. There is nothing that makes your heart sink more than when losing photos/memories due to technological hiccups. The cost of the iPhone 12 Pro is ridiculously high but as this is dictated (mostly) by Apple theres no real way of avoiding the price tag. We are yet to see if the cost can be negated by the increase (or decrease) in Instagram followers and double taps (just kidding, but really we only bought this phone for the camera). It is still early days whe...

Apple’s $1,000 phone sits in the awkward spot of not quite being the best phone. Nevertheless, it offers compelling upgrades.

A really nice OLED display. Excellent performance with the new A14 Bionic. The lidar scanner makes for clear low-light portrait shots, and the triple-lens rear camera system overall is great. 4K video at 60 frames per second offers more depth than non-HDR videos. MagSafe accessories are fun.

It's $1,000. No USB-C. No 120-Hz refresh rate. Battery could last longer.
