The iPhone 12 Pro is like a “Hey let me copy your paper but change maybe 1 or 2 answers.”

[@xtramixtech]

and this is your opinion after seeing this video no? go and see other videos and see the real difference, here is all wrong

12 pro got 3 cameras , telephoto , LiDAR , 6 gb ram , a14, Ceramic Shield , premium look , pro res , pro raw , Dolby vision , OLED display , night mode and also night mode in portait mode , less better battery, speed , and even more !!!

Thanks for not adding music in the background while talking. I did enjoy it a lot. that was very helpful to decide between both devices

[@al0840]

Thanks Wade for a good review! Got my iPhone 12. It’s a good decision and I’m happy with it. I noticed a very small difference on the camera quality of the 12 pro. Maybe the use of Lidar will be emphasized in few more months or years. A hundred dollar difference or 10kPHP increase from the 12 Pro is not worth though.

[@jaket2433]

Great video man:-) You got to the point very fast and I just love that sometimes.. Thanks for sharing

[@01naish]

Got a question about some pics where there are buldings on it. Why does the 12 look as it would handle architectural lines (walls etc.) strangly compared to the 12 pro? the buildings seem to fall much more over than with the Pro. Is there a real differce here? Around the 4 minute mark. i've seen that effect in another comparison video too. I know the phenomenon depends on the kind of lens used (tele or not), but I would think that in that side by side comparison 12 and 12 pro use the same lens at the same time (exept for when you really zoom in).

[@davidhughes4489]

Brilliant, just the comparison i wanted before making my choice, many thanks

[@ssdazaiss]

Thanks a lot for those photo's and great informations!

[@RajMeister786]

With the iPhone 12 when you're holding it, does your finger sometimes touch or block the camera?? If it does can you tell me if its the main camera it blocks please...? I know the 12 pro bottom camera blocks the top part when taking a photo, & the top one blocks the main camera...

[@josecarlolemus9928]

This video should be the first suggestion gosh I spent time on two others that were so weird and not informative at all when I just could’ve come here and get what I was looking for in a review. Thanks!

I wanted to use it for dentistry, in intraoral and extraoral photos. When we use zoom, it’s just a little bit. Do you think an Iphone 12 pro is worth it for the price? Or would the Iphone 12 solve my problem?

Why front camera on iphone 12 pro not center? Have to tilt a little bit to the left to make it center.

how'd u activate night mode on the regular 12 im pretty certain u cant but why did ur night videos on the 12 look exactly like the pros? when the pro has nightmode...

Hey I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max which I’ve had over a year and I do love it but the size and weight overall is a bit too much for me so I’m downsizing with my next phone. I can’t decide whether to go 12 or 12 pro. Can you give me any advice? Is there much difference between the 11 pro max and 12 cameras? I’m not a professional - I just take a lot of photos of my kids mainly lol. Also I really love the black iPhone 12 but I’m not as keen on the pro colours which is another reason I’m not drawn to the 12 pro. I know the pro has more ram and the lidar sensor etc but my 11 pro max has the same ram as the 12 and I’ve found it fine and no lagging etc. I also upgrade every 1-2 years so I don’t keep my phones a really long time which is another reason I’m thinking 12 over pro. What do you think? I can’t find many comparison videos between the 11 pro max and 12 or 12 pro so it’s hard to decide! Thanks and sorry this is so long :)
