Apple iPhone 12 Pro review

This year, Apple is giving potential buyers more choice than ever. We already reviewed the iPhone 12, and now it's time for the 12 Pro. Besides having...

Attractive design with exquisite fit and premium finish

No charger or headphones in the box

We can't recommend the iPhone 12 Pro over its siblings - the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro review: A step above

The iPhone 12 Pro is Apple's best phone, if price isn't a factor. It has an excellent balance of power and speed, an exceptional camera, and great hardware.

Exceptional design and build ; Fantastic photo and video quality ; High-quality display ; Universal 5G networking

MagSafe utility is questionable ; Limited improvements over iPhone 12

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Review

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

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.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro review: ahead of its time

The big thing about the Pro model this year is it's shiny.

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

Apple’s new iPhone 12 Pro is beautiful to look at and hold, but it isn’t much different from the less expensive iPhone 12. On top of that, the bigger iPhone 12 Pro Max stands to offer a better camera, which puts the 12 Pro in a tough spot.

iPhone 12 Pro review: foreshadowing the future

The iPhone 12 Pro was built to thrive in the future

LiDAR scanner for AR fun ; Gorgeous Pacific Blue chassis ; Ergonomic, flat-edge design ; Easy Dolby Vision video recording/editing ; Lightning-fast A14 bionic chip

Power adapter not included ; Mediocre battery life ; Unattractive notch

The iPhone 12 Pro offers badass AR experiences thanks to its LiDAR scanner, but the absence of a power adapter forebodes a future of portless smartphones.

iPhone 12 Pro Review

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...

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

iPhone 12 Pro review

The iPhone 12 Pro delivers amazing camera and video quality, 5G and crazy fast performance in a sleeker new design.

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

. Overall, the iPhone 12 Pro beats every Android phone in its class in terms of performance and camera quality, even if it’s a step behind in battery life.
