Apple iPhone 12 Pro review: ahead of its time
The big thing about the Pro model this year is it’s shiny.

Apple iPhone 12 Review: Superfast Speed, if You Can Find It (Published 2020)
The new iPhone has an improved design, but it’s undermined by the wireless industry’s messy rollout of ultrafast 5G networks.

I’m hoping we can do this too, for the sake of battery life.
Well after watching 4 reviews, it seems the cameras on the regular 12 and 12 pro are slight improvements over the 11 series. Certainly less than I expected. Now I’m hoping the 47% larger sensor and larger pixels on the Pro Max better differentiate.
We can do that already with LTE, so I'd be surprised if not.
I think 12 pro camera is a noticeable difference overall. Makes me wonder how great Pro max will be
Awesome. We aren't getting 5G for a while here in the Maritimes so no point even having the Auto setting on
I’ve always had the option to choose which G I want to use so I assume the same applies to 5g. This must be region specific or something.
Based on some of the reviews, the magnetic Apple Wallet may not be great. Sounds like it slides off in jeans pocket. Hope not.
Those Apple wallet sucks. More like MagUnsafe
I must admit when I first saw it announced it did cross my mind that it could be knocked off when putting it in a pocket. Not really sure why I’d want my bank cards attached to my phone either? Seems easier having a slim card wallet.
I still need to read more reviews, but after going through both of the Verge reviews, I’m thinking I may need to either wait for the Pro Max despite its hideous size or just hold onto my 11 Pro for another year or two or three.
These reviews are making me want to keep my X for another year tbh.
Coming from the 11 promax and hoping to go back to a smaller phone, I am very unimpressed with 12P. I am actually happy that I waited to order the 12PM. It looks like the 12P is a slight improvement over the 11pm, with worse battery life. What is the purpose in getting a smaller phone if I will have to carry an external battery along with me
This might be the first time I don't upgrade, I think my 11 Pro is just fine and the differences in camera quality isn't night and day either. Think I'll wait for the iPhone 13 Pro with the 120hz display.

“In the end, I think iPhone 12 Pro battery life is going to vary widely for people depending on how much they use 5G — especially mmWave 5G — so this is something we’ll have to track over time. But I would definitely not expect the “try and stop me” battery life we saw on the regular iPhone 11.”
This is probably a better device for people coming from Xs or Xs Max.
Reminds me of the early days of 3G as well as 4G, lol. Phones that came with both early saw incredibly bad battery life when using the standards in the early days.
I guess 5G mmWave will take a few years to be tamed
