Apple's embargo has lifted for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro reviews. In addition to our detailed review roundups for each device, we've rounded up over a dozen unboxing videos and first impressions below.

Key new features of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro include a flat-edge design, 5G support, a much faster A14 Bionic chip, improved cameras, more durable Ceramic Shield front glass, and new MagSafe accessories that attach magnetically to the back of the devices. Both devices feature OLED displays with a notch for Face ID.

iPhone 12 Pro models take the camera upgrades even further with a LiDAR Scanner for Night Mode portraits, support for Apple's new ProRAW image format, and Dolby Vision HDR video recording up to 60 FPS, compared to 30 FPS on iPhone 12.

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro pre-orders began last week, and the devices will be available starting this Friday. iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max pre-orders begin Friday, November 6.

I like IPhone 12 Blue better than IPhone pro blue.. it's just my opinion

 

[Vance9991]

After seeing the color in videos and pictures, I can say that I'm very happy with my Pacific Blue pre order.

 

[AngerDanger]

Every time I see the iPhone 12 in blue, I realize how much more I prefer the Pro's blue.

The 12's is dark but over-saturated and always looks like plastic somehow.

EDIT: Ha, love how the first three comments are about the color blue.

Being a YouTuber has to be the best job in the world, get tech for free and before the public and make loads of money

Waiting for the deep written reviews & analysis.

I think Apple did an AMAZING job.

I like iJustine. She is always in such a good mood.

From the marketing material I thought I would prefer the blue tone of the iPhone 12 but it is actually TOO blue. looks almost plastic cheap. Glad I am getting the Pro Max now

 

[ghostface147]

Man, that blue is really really blue on the 12. Glad I got the Pacific Blue 12 Pro.

Yes and no. Yes when everything is fine. But once you get demonetized, you can be screwed. And there’s no competitor for YouTube in terms of volume.

I was actually OK with the rich, almost toy-like shade of blue that we saw in the BlurryCam™ unboxing videos that came out yesterday.

Looks like these shots more accurately show the blue iPhone 12’s true colors, which are less toy-like. And I like it still.

The iPhone 12 Pro’s Pacific Blue colorway is also really nice.

It’s a blue year for iPhones! ?

 

[Nick A]

The blue color on the 12 looks like the aftermarket color swaps people used to do on the iPhone 4/4S.

 

[Jett0516]

No GOLD unboxing ?

 

[Drogba11]

I hate the format of these YouTube videos for every new gadget. Impressions / unboxing / actual review. I don’t care what your impressions are or how the thing looks when you take it out of the box, I want to know what the battery life is like compared to last gen and the camera, 5G speeds etc. It’s only 3 days till release, does Apple stop them from giving actual reviews when they have the device already because it might make people cancel their preorders?

I too prefer the blue of the 12 Pro models.

I like IPhone 12 Blue better than IPhone pro blue.. it's just my opinion

I also prefer that blue.

I'm not sure the wallet is gonna be secure enough...

Graphite looking good. I think I made the right choice.

 

[MisterSavage]

I agree. I ordered the Pro but I wish it looked like the 12 blue.

 

[TantalizedMind]

Blue sucks. I want lime green.

 

[otternonsense]

Yea, that blue 12 really does look like a Lego brick.

 

[Deinocheirus]

Being a YouTuber has to be the best job in the world, get tech for free and before the public and make loads of money

And contribute nothing of value to the world. It’s quite something.

 

[simon3163]

I do not want the MagSafe magnet to be so strong that i cant pick up the phone with one hand. if i need to hold the cable i may as well plug in the cable...

 

[The Game 161]

Tom's guide did a full review which was a good read

 

[Vratikranka]

So they even reduced Apple stickers to 1... NEAT!

Based on how many YouTube people reviewed this thing, I think we’ve reached peak YouTube.
