iPhone 12 Pro Repair

iPhone 12 Pro Summary

There’s so many things in common between them. They have the same flat
edge design, the same dimensions, same screen size, same screen reset, the same notch sizes, same Magsafe compatibility, same charging speeds. They even have the same charging brick.
So clearly there’s a lot in common between these two phones. So if you have a conversation about one, it’s just highly dependent on the other. Now if you take a step back and you look at the pricing, the iPhone 12 is an $800 phone and for 25% more pay 1000 bucks, you get the iPhone 12 Pro. Now for Apple, this is a little strange to have phones that have a pretty different price point but to have such a similar feature set. But here’s the thing, I don’t think this was the original plan. I think for Apple, the iPhone 12 Pro was supposed to be
a more substantial step up from the iPhone 12. Like this was supposed to have a 120 Hertz display. We saw the rumours in the summer this was going to have the high refresh screen, but somehow it didn’t make it to these units. While there’s a supply chain issue or whatever, The reason being these don’t have high refresh screens. So it’s pushed the 12 Pro closer to the 12 in terms of feature set. Now both of these phones are excellent iPhones. I love the flat edges and the Super flat screen. The form factor is really nice
and the Pacific Blue on the Pro is just a phenomenal colour. This is like it’s so hard to showcase this thing properly in videos, suddenly get to see in real life. But this is a really, really nice looking colour to me and the displays on these phones are very similar. They’re both 6.1 inches high resolution OLED tech, they’re nearly impossible to tell apart. The iPhone 12 Pro gets a little bit brighter, but I think the vast majority of people will find both of these screens really, really good and seriously indistinguishable unless you’re looking at them side by side and really looking for a difference. In regards to ceramic shield,
that’s the tech where Apple claims a four times improvement in drop protection. That may be the case for drops and like shattered glass, but in terms of scratches, I don’t think there is a noticeable improvement, at least not for me. I had this in my pocket in the same side as my keys. I normally try to separate it, but occasionally your phone goes into your key pocket, right? And I’ve got a scratch.
It’s unfortunate, but if you are someone who cares about this kind of stuff, you’re still going to need a kind of screen protector. There’s a new one from brand that uses tempered glass, and it has a really good fit on these devices. Now, in terms of the battery, both of these devices have the same battery size. They’re both around 2800 milliamp hours, and the iPhone 12 lasts longer than the iPhone 12 Pro. The 11 Pro, with the bigger battery and the smaller screen, lasts the longest. But the 12 Pro is kind of short. I don’t know why I can’t explain it. Maybe it’s a difference in software tweaks, maybe it’s the extra RAM on the Pro,
maybe the screens are actually more different than it seems on AER. But that’s just, that’s just what I’m getting right now in terms of 4G versus 5G connectivity. I can only test for 4G U here in Canada, so the battery life is good, but I have no idea what it be like if I connected these two 5G towers. Now Magsafe, the tech is neat, but it’s not super impressive to me. I haven’t seen anything from the Magsafe accessories that really jump out to me as being like, you know, I got to have this right now. The magnetically attached wireless charging is nice,
but it’s not. It doesn’t feel super new to me. I originally thought though that having a ring of magnets on the back of your phone isn’t
it doesn’t impede anything, right? For the people that don’t want to use Magsafe anything doesn’t change the phone experience. But I don’t know, because having a series of magnets embedded into the chassis of these phones, it has to take up some room in there, right? Maybe they have to use smaller batteries in there this year to implement Magsafe. So it’s cool that it’s there, but I think we have to wait a little bit to see the true potential of what this tech is going to bring to the iPhone ecosystem. Now under the cameras. The difference between these two phones lies in the camera system. They both now have
low light ultra lights. It’s something that the iPhone 11 and the 11 Pros really lacked and they have them now. They are pretty good, but they’re not amazing, right? I feel like ultrawide photography done in low light conditions is really tough. There’s just a lot of data that has to collect and there’s not a lot of light when it’s dark and it’s a difficult shot to do. The iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro handled them reasonably well. Now in terms of the regular wide lens, because the 12 Pro has the Lidar scanner, it often shoots better when it comes to tough
conditions. And in terms of portrait photography, it can also take advantage of that tech. It’ll focus faster and give the system better depth information. Now in terms of the regular photos, I find that the 12 and the 12 Pro shoot better than last year’s iPhones. Particularly it comes to shots with more dynamic range as well as shots that are showing more detail. That’s just more clarity in the shots taken from the iPhone 12.
The 12 Pro does have the benefit of the 2X optical zoom, but they can both shoot in something called Dolby Vision HDR. Now, because I use Adobe Premiere and it can’t even handle this new kind of footage, I can’t show it to you. At least not unless I use a completely different editing programme. But this tech
is seemingly quite good. But it’s tech that isn’t easy to kind of visualise right now, because not a lot of phones can even support this type of visual experience. But the iPhone 12 can shoot, view and edit it all on the device. Now I want to talk about pricing. This is a very important part of the conversation.
The iPhone 12 at $800 is an expensive phone. Certainly not cheap, but it’s a well-rounded phone. This year. It’s a strangely, well-rounded phone, and I use the word strangely because it has such a similar feature set to the more expensive 12 Pro, the significantly more expensive 12 Pro. So the 12 gets an easy recommendation for me. If you’ve been eyeing it and you can afford it, it’s a it’s a very solid phone,
the 12 Pro. When I first saw this on day one, my kind of knee jerk reaction is it’s overpriced. It’s too similar in feature set to the 12, but once you match the storage option, you’re getting a better build quality. You’re getting a more robust camera system, although battery life is slightly less. You’re not paying a huge amount of money for that extra 12 Pro experience. But there is one last kind of twist to this story. If you’re someone who cares about high refresh screens
and you buy one of these this year, when the iPhone 13 Pro, whatever they call it, when that comes out next year, you’re going to be extremely tempted to buy that one as well. And so a phone that should last three or four or five years is now going to last one year. I’m just putting it out there. So if you’re someone who’s drawn to either of these phones this year, keep that in mind, because this year the phones are weirdly similar. But next year I think the difference will be more substantial, possibly in price
as well. And that is my iPhone 12 and 12 Pro review. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
