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

Love the camera and the extra zoom. Also the size of the phone is larger than my old iPhone 5

I'm going to make this brief. Of the four models in the iPhone 12 lineup, the iPhone 12 Pro looks like the top value if you're serious about photography and video. The 12 Pro's LiDAR sensor, Night Portrait mode, and telephoto lens aren't available on the lower-cost models, and will be worth the extra $150 (using the 128GB models' pricing) for those whom their iPhone is a camera first and foremost. There are four very similar models in the iPhone 12 lineup: the iPhone 12 mini (starts at $699 for 64GB), the iPhone 12 (starts at $799 for 64GB), the iPhone 12 Pro (starts at $999 for 128GB) and the iPhone 12 Pro Max (starts at $1,099 for 128GB). This short piece will give you a quick sketch of how the iPhone 12 Pro differs from the iPhone 12 and why we've designated it as our Editors' Choice. We've wrapped a deeper discussion of all four models into our main iPhone 12 review because they have so much in common. That's where you can read in depth about all the iPhone 12 features. The 12...

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

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.
