Increase in base storage, OLED displays, Incredible cameras

Such a high price, Not everyone has 5G

The iPhone 12 Pro delivers amazing camera and video quality, 5G and crazy fast performance in a sleeker new design, though the battery life could be better. The iPhone 12 Pro is a serious step up from the iPhone 11 Pro, but that’s not who this flagship is really for.

Best-in-class cameras, A14 Bionic blows away Android phones, Tougher Ceramic Shield display, Bigger screen in sleeker design, MagSafe charging is easy to use

5G takes toll on battery life, No charger in box, Lacks 120Hz display, Limited optical zoom

The iPhone 12 Pro checks all the boxes for a great smartphone, but is that enough to make it stand out?

iPhone 12 offers largely the same experience; iPhone 12 Pro Max isn't a huge photography upgrade over the iPhone 12 Pro; Expensive

The iPhone 12 Pro is a great device but there’s nothing really that makes it exclaim that it’s a “Pro” device. Sure it has a telephoto lens, stainless steel frame, more storage options but you’re getting the same battery life as the cheaper iPhone 12 .

The new design is a nice and welcome change, Great camera and can shoot Dolby Vision video (up to 60 fps), Good battery life with long standby time, A14 Bionic offers quick performance, Wireless charging and fast charge support, The OLED screen looks great

iOS 14 could still use a bit more work, Heavier in the hand than the iPhone 12, More expensive and not much extra value over the iPhone 12, The MagSafe ecosystem is cool and has potential but not great now

Altogether, the extra camera, Dolby Vision and the LiDAR scanner combine to make an exceptional cameraphone.

Great; subtle design; 5G connectivity; 3 great cameras

It’s a big year for the iPhone: Apple’s iPhone 12 line is totally redesigned and features four models — the iPhone 12 mini, the iPhone 12 , the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max — at a range of screen sizes and price points.

Excellent camera; Killer performance; Dolby Vision video looks great; 5G can be very fast

Battery life not as good as last year; 5G hype is exhausting; Not quite enough of an upgrade over the iPhone 12
