Are you looking for the differences between the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro ? Then you need look no further. We have taken a close look at both models for you. We have described our findings below, so that you will hopefully have no questions about the difference between the two models afterwards.
Fresh or chic?
The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have exactly the same dimensions, but there are some differences in the design. And you will notice that immediately when you hold both models. The iPhone 12 weighs 162 grams due to the aluminum and the Pro weighs no less than 187 grams due to the stainless steel housing. This difference in material also gives both models a different look. This is partly due to the colors in which the iPhones are available. The colors of the iPhone 12 are a lot fresher and brighter than the more chic look of the 12 Pro. So it comes down to which look you prefer. Do you prefer the bright blue of the 12 or do you lean more towards the ocean blue of the Pro?
For the real photographer
The biggest difference is clearly noticeable in the cameras. The iPhone 12 has a dual camera , both a wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lens. The iPhone 12 Pro goes a step further with the extra telephoto lens. This allows you to zoom 4 times without loss of quality, while the iPhone 12 can only do this 2 times. The Pro also has the new LiDAR scanner , which allows you to take beautiful portrait photos even in the dark. This scanner ensures that the camera can better map the environment using lasers. This allows you to photograph sharp depth images even at night.
If you thought that was all, you're wrong. There are two more upgrades to be seen on the iPhone 12 Pro! As we know, both models can record in Dolby Vision, only the iPhone 12 Pro can do this in 60 frames per second and the iPhone 12 in only 30 FPS. In short, the videos are much more streamlined on the 12 Pro. The other difference is that the iPhone 12 Pro has Apple ProRAW. This function is mainly intended for the real photographers among us. With this you get more "naked" photos back. In other words, fewer edits have been performed automatically by the software so that you can still adjust everything yourself in post-processing.
Small differences
If we take another strict look at both iPhones, we see a few final differences. What is really handy is that the iPhone 12 Pro has a much brighter screen. Ideal for the summer when everything is difficult to see. We also see an upgrade of the RAM memory on the iPhone 12 Pro, namely 6GB instead of 4GB. This difference saves time when starting apps and switching between applications. Finally, we see that both models do not come with exactly the same storage options. The iPhone 12 comes in: 64GB , 128GB or 256GB and the iPhone 12 Pro is available with: 128GB , 256GB or 512GB . In other words, the 12 Pro is really for the heavy users!
Which iPhone should I get?
Now we have arrived at the big question: which iPhone is better suited for me? We can be quite brief about this. The looks remain a personal taste. There are hardly any adjustments under the hood, because the focus of the 12 Pro is entirely on the camera. What you have to think about is "do I have extra money for a much better camera?" Or do you not need all that fuss at all and are satisfied with the already very good camera that can be found on the iPhone 12. Curious whether you should have the 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max, we will tell you here !
