Don't Buy iPhone 12 Pro

The iPhone 12 Pro is great, but is it great enough? Especially considering Apple's own competition?

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are a little different this year. They have the same screen size, same screen resolution, similar form factor, the same A14 Bionic; frankly, the similarities are so great it's easier to count the differences. And most of them are in software. Night mode Portrait mode photos are cool and the extra RAM could come in handy along with the new LiDAR sensor, but does it *really*? And does 5G iPhone make a difference? Does mmWave even matter? We talk about this and more to help you decide which of the two mainline iPhones are best before the launch of iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro.

Unless you really care about the camera. The overall experience of the iPhone feels the same. Moved up from iPhone 7 to try the 12 but I am just going to just return it and get a Xr. I am not a big camera of video buff so I rather save that $400+ and buy a refurb Xr. Sure the screen and the responsiveness is faster but overall for the price and what I get I am not overly impressed. Ever since Apple moved to 64 bit processing in the iPhone 5s. The overall UI experience isn’t much to complain about. I mean those milliseconds of app load times or internet speeds isn’t going to kill me.

[@jorddahl]

Really refreshing to see balanced reviews for a change. After upgrading to a 12 Pro from an iPhone 7, I’ve realized many Apple KZbinrs gloss over so many of the ‘cons’ of new phones and just hype them up like crazy.

This is great information. I’ve been rocking the first generation iPhone SE since I got it for my birthday in 2016. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to the 12 pro, not the pro max, mainly for MagSafe and the lidar sensor. I had the idea of MagSafe on an iPhone about 6 month ago while trying out Qi charging for the first time. I wanted a Qi charger that’ll slide into my phones bike handlebar mount pocket.

It will be a dramatic upgrade compared to what I have currently, and I would like to get the phone that has the reasons you listed for not getting the Pro - the third camera (I'm a photographer on the side so i take a ton of photos with my DSLR and appreciating having the telephoto on the phone plus the larger sensor), the additional RAM, the Lidar, the ability to edit RAW images later this year. So it's a no brainer for me - yes, it's expensive but I'll be keeping this one for a while. Now my only decision is which color!

[@gekoloniseerd8191]

It’s just such an underwhelming update. I don’t get why people go crazy about the design changes when the front still looks the same. 5G came at such a great expense, i’d rather take a 11 Pro over the new 12 (pro) for battery life alone.

[@alolanstarboy]

And that’s exactly what I did lol, I saved myself a ton of money and got the 11 pro for the significantly better battery life and I’ve been pretty happy with it

[@andyH_England]

I do not get that argument as you can turn 5g off even if you do not use Apple's dynamic 5g. Battery life tests indicate the iPhone 12 is as good as the iPhone 11, and the Max has not been released yet which will be better than 90% of phones out there. The design changes are great, flat screen and classic look. Most people use a case so the fingerprints are not relevant. The front looks the same as does every Samsung phone for the last few years apart from them moving the pin-hole to middle or sides. Until under-display camera tech is available Apple will not change as they have features in the notch, front stereo speaker, infra-red, 3D mapping and camera.

[@alolanstarboy]

@@andyH_England the battery size is physically smaller and as such various people have talked about how it lasts a shorter amount of time than the 11 pro.

So after not upgrading last year, I still aint upgrading this year... Thumbs up for looks though. The 12 looks stunning! They went back to beauty, now get back to practical beside that and we can proudly call it a real Apple again. And please Apple... put the on/of button on another place, where there is no button on the other side! Why did they change it after the iPhone 5 in the first place?

I think you have missed a couple of things, Quinn. Firstly, the camera system is noticeably improved for a year over year upgrade. Both the ultra-wide and the front facing camera now support Deep Fusion and Night Mode, which makes a huge difference, at least in my experience. The Dolby Vision HDR video also looks more realistic and much more detailed but also kills the battery much quicker. I’ve seen some mentioning worse battery life than the 11 Pro on regular usage, and I haven’t noticed any coming from one. I’m still getting like 7+ hours of screen-on time, and I even play a couple of demanding games. I believe Apple did not implement higher refresh rate displays because of some supply chain issues, given the pandemic and they quite literally needing millions of the necessary hardware. Lastly, this iPhone feels so secure in my hand that it’s the first iPhone I’m using without a case since the 5S.✌🏼

I'm mainly getting it for LiDAR and the telephoto lens.

[@Ryan-yy4pp]

@Lotte the pro is also not much better, but what i’m saying is that if you want a bigger screen the max is a good option.

[@tubbie0075]

I use to listen to all these reviews and considered their advice before buying. Nowadays, I listen to them and then do exactly the opposite of the advice. It tends to work for me lately., e.g. "Don't buy the iPhone 12 Pro!". Went ahead and ordered an iPhone 12 Pro LOL

[@myblacklab7]

Smart move!

[@joshuatatro4503]

Not surprised to hear the 5G/LTE switching feature isn't quite worked out yet. I remember using my original Pixel on Google Fi and what a headache the "seamless" switching between GSM/CDMA networks to get the "best" signal/speeds was; it would often lead to the exact situation you described - i.e. having full signal and yet no calls, data, or messages going through. They figured it out eventually, but the switching bit apparently isn't that easy to accomplish.

People: High refresh Rate is a staple for mobile devices we deserve one on an iPhone too! Apple: are we a charity to you?

[@aaronjoy980]

Yes let's overuse an old joke yaah

I don’t want to be that guy, but apparently Apple didn’t put high refresh rate this year because of battery drain

Draining your battery even faster is not a staple.

The one thing that I really hope other manufacturers follow is the flat glass for the exact reason you said. Screen protectors will no longer just stick to the curved edges leaving an air gap. Were back to flat all sticky screen protectors that you can break 12 of them for before even messing up your own screen.

[@MrMoon-hy6pn]

@@good-tn9sr No one is saying it's going to get either, I'd rather see them finally oust the notch rather than drive down the bezels for no reason, it's pretty much impossible to drive down bezels much further since they are already pretty much non existant.

Written on iPhone 6 16GB ;)

[@zacbackas]

I've always bought the base storage and haven't ever really had a problem. My storage usage has grown slowly along with the base storage size. I had mid 20gb usage when i had 32gb and now im in the 30gig range with a 64gb XS. I wouldn't kick 128gb base storage out of bed but for someone who doesn't take millions of photos and streams their content 64 is pretty alright

[@TheKimNeeper]

116 Gb used of my 256 11 Pro Max here... have no idea, must be photos and videos..

Great video, but I disagree about the speakers. When I work I sometimes just chat on speaker mode. Speaker is definitely an important factor to me. I would’ve loved a comparison on that.

[@JDCALDECOTT]

By far the best / deepest review of this phone I've seen!

[@VaiRostampour]

I've noticed a shift in your level of criticism of Apple lately and I really do appreciate it. I see a lot of Apple coverage that sides with the hype instead of pointing out the necessary criticisms. The battery on these new iPhones really concern me, if they're struggling to get through a full day of usage now, at launch. In 2-3-4y from now the longevity of the iPhone is going to hampered not by its processor or specs.. but by its battery. Which is why I'm leaning towards the 12 Pro Max, for the battery and also the larger camera sensor. I was hoping Google would leap frog the industry again by pairing their leading computational photography with a big high end sensor. Anyway.. I digress. Great video Quinn!

[@vamwolf]

I know.

[@vitalis]

Also, check out the other channel tearing down the iphones. It is basically impossible to repair it even with Apple components. The chipset security detects it and wont allow the camera to function properly nor turn on with the power button. Seriously, when are people gonna wake up and say enough is enough?

[@MickelMart]

I just got the 12 Pro (upgraded from the X), and I will say the cameras are the main reason I upgraded. They definitely don’t disappoint. As far as normal use and snappiness, it feels the same to me. I put mine in a clear case, so I don’t have to worry about fingerprints. I will also say that I miss 3D Touch, though. I can’t press down on the middle of the keyboard and highlight text anymore. I guess you win some and you lose some.

[@TheKimNeeper]

Long press on the space button, and the entire keyboard becomes a track pad - it’s actually better as you don’t have to press down, just move your finger around with no force pressing down...

[@devinmarx5032]

@@TheKimNeeper I disagree, you just have to press a little but to use the cursor, you don’t need to press hard the whole time. Also you can press just a tad bit harder to access the selection tool so that you can highlight the text your are hovering over

@@devinmarx5032 Exactly. It's the highlighting text feature that I miss.

[@vitalis]

Check out the photography comparison between the iPhone models and Samsung 20 Ultra released today on another channel. Do the test yourselves and you'll see why it's not worth upgrading if your main reason is the camera.

[@julianwilton6997]

I came so close to getting a 12 version iPhone, the mini. So glad I got the battery on my old SE replaced. Good to go for another 2 years at least.

[@Stan_sprinkle]

At least I can measure the height of my child with the LiDAR sensor. Seriously though for me it’s about future proofing, and the extra ram on the pro Will be worth it three years later

[@dansmith6990]

isn't the RAM undisclosed? I heard all 12's have the same 6GB of RAM. If you can clarify for me (since I really don't know) I'd really appreciate it!

Please tell me is it worth the upgrade? I've been rocking my s9 plus since it came out and I really need an upgrade. Been thinking about getting the 12 pro since the base models are 128 gb. I really wanna know if people would recommend the 12 pro to me.

[@Banneriowa]

@@jaysquared2061 It depends on your preferences the s9 plus has a better display so if your used to that then idk maybe get a android but if you want good battery life I would suggest the 11pro although it's last gens iPhone the battery life on it is a beast and better then the 12 if you also just want to get a iPhone then just get the regular 12 its basically the same as the pro if you don't mind not having extra features which you most likely won't use but to answer your question would I recommend it if you have the money and just want a iPhone then yes go for it the only downside is the battery and the fact that since your moving to a lower resolution screen you will have to adjust to it but if you don't care which phone you get then just get a android like OnePlus or another Samsung

[@nathanaelculver5308]

I dissent on the squared edges. When I upgraded from the iPad Air 2 to 2018 Pro I noticed immediately that the squares designed is actually quite difficult to pick up off a flat surface; sans rounded edges it becomes difficult to get your fingers under the device. I end up having to slide it to the table edge. If you like flat glass for screen protector purposes, then square off the upper edges, but keep the bottom edges rounded, a la the Air 2.

Isn't that the case with _all_ phones with 120Hz displays? I mean, why would the iPhone be so different, if looking specifically at the 120Hz display, or the lack thereof?

[@lenardz]

@@slashtiger1 No, my friend has a Samsung Galaxy S20. It does 120Hz and it lasts him for the whole day. The difference though, is that Samsung increased the battery size. If Apple had included 120hz on the iPhone 12 line-up it would be a disaster. Between the smaller battery, a power hungry 5G chip and the 120Hz screen, you’d be lucky to squeak out 4-5 hours.

[@slashtiger1]

@@lenardz If they'd do it in the way they're doing it with iPad, that doesn't have to be the case. As you may know, on the iPad, the refresh rate is dynamically adjusted between 0Hz (when displaying a static image or a page of a book, for example) and the maximum of 120Hz when content demands it. If they'd apply the same technique on the iPhone, that wouldn't _have_ to imply such a drastic negative effect on battery life.

[@craigfisher1937]

@@lenardz I guess he had the snapdragon variant then? I had the exynos s20 ultra and that thing lived on charge. Eventually got sick of it and went back to apple with the 12 pro and the improved battery life on the iPhone compared to my ultra is night and day.
