Truly great products always push the envelope, but also acknowledge the traditions that made them great in the first place. The iPhone 12 Pro is one such product that attempts to bridge the past and the future – in a way, it is a retrofuturist endeavor that is unapologetically a throwback to the...

Premium design; Outstanding OLED display; Versatile and reliable triple-camera system; Unstoppable performance

Still very expensive; starting at $999; No charger; no headphones in the box; No high refresh rate display

With 5G, LiDAR, and MagSafe, the iPhone 12 Pro offers more than just the improved performance and better cameras we expect every year. But it will be some time before those technologies are widely utilized.

Absurdly fast performance, Excellent new design, Consistently great photos and video, LiDAR and MagSafe offer glimpses of the future

The most interesting new features are underutilized, Still waiting for features like ProMotion or an always-on display

You must have telephoto. If you're choosing between the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro, the addition of a telephoto lens is what will likely sell you on the extra money. Lidar and a stainless steel frame are bonuses, but likely not worth the extra cash. You love the Pro's matte glass back.

Superb performance, Consistently good photo and video quality, Improved industrial design

Worse battery life than iPhone 11 Pro

Enticing. The iPhone 12 Pro received a design refresh reminiscent of the old iPhone 5s. It features the latest technology the Californians have to offer, including 5G and Apple's new magnetic MagSafe feature. Find out whether or not it is worth switching in our review.

blazingly fast SoC, bright OLED display with HDR10 and DolbyVision, long battery life, good triple-camera system, premium build quality and IP68, accurate location services, broad frequency support

mediocre speaker, Bluetooth without High Res Audio, fairly slow Wi-Fi 6, limited and restricted NFC, memory not expandable, no mmWave, slow wired data transfer speeds

The iPhone 12 Pro offers an impressive smartphone package thanks to its worthwhile but incremental camera upgrades, coupled with its excellent design revamp

Redesign looks great; Low-light performance is improved; Incremental photography upgrades are great

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

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
