Apple's iPhone 12 Pro won't blow you away, but it's a fantastic update to the brand's already great lineup of devices....

Fantastic build quality Extensive ecosystem Super fast performance Great cameras

Fairly slow charging comparatively 2x optical telephoto lens is a bit short iOS is limiting for customization No power adapter in the box

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

Great premium design; A14 Bionic power; MagSafe charging; 5G

Screen smudges easily; Display notch is still there; Much the same experience as the cheaper iPhone 12

An iPhone for the few and not the many, the 12 Pro is for serious photographic fiddlers and AR experimenters

Beautiful boxy design; Intelligent camera improvements; 5G connectivity; MagSafe innovation potential; Faithful colour reproduction

Display refresh rate only 60Hz; Mixed battery life; No USB-C; No earphones or charging plug

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.
