The iPhone 12 Pro is in a tricky space when it comes to choice. So this is a phone for those who want the iPhone 12 size but three cameras, or three cameras but not a phone as big as iPhone 12 Pro Max.

The iPhone 12 Pro feels truly elite. Everything about it is high-end, and in a smaller body than its rivals. Some won't like the lack of longer zoom or high refresh rates, but there are trade-offs for those, and what you get here is impeccable.

Excellent HDR screen; Superb camera system; Top-tier processor and 5G; Incredible build quality

Expensive; Average battery life; No high-refresh screen; Some will want longer zoom

The new iPhone 12 Pro sweeps the floor with the competition, and has the best camera we've seen so far.

The best performance on the market, visibly better picture and video quality, fast 5G, more solid than before and a very bright screen. Clever magnetic solution.

Charger is extra equipment. Expensive with a lot of storage.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

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

The iPhone 12 Pro captures images with bags of impact and plenty of detail, even in low light. Any photographer who uses it is bound to experience one of those head-scratching moments when the phone gets a better shot than their larger-sensor camera.

Limited control in the native camera app; High price; The lenses are unprotected
