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

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.

Apple’s top-tier smartphones offer some big features with a price tag to match, but if you’re looking for the best of the best, you can’t go wrong with the iPhone Pro or Max.

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
