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.

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. You take the time to share both pros and cons in a fair and balanced way, and after watching this and your Tesla review, you’ve earned an instant sub from me. Thanks for the effort you put into these videos instead of taking the easy way out and just making hype videos.

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.

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. There’s nothing wrong with the iPhone SE from 2016 using it in 2020, but I am really interested in the light are sensor and MagSafe.

Not surprised to hear the 5G/LTE switching feature isn't quite worked out yet.

They figured it out eventually, but the switching bit apparently isn't that easy to accomplish.

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.

I completely agree about everything you say! Thanks for sharing this. My two cents: They went with the wrong choices (necessary/possible or not). This phone should have had new looks (as is greatly done), 120 hertz screen and no notch. Then upgrade the phone next year with 5G, Mag-Safe and HDR. That would have been perfect! 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? From the first use of my iPhone 6 through the iPhone X I'm using today, I'm dealing with screenshots every time I want to lock my screen. TERRIBLE! Am I the only person with this problem?

I have iPhone 8 Plus and thinking about getting the iPhone 12 pro...what do you think should I get 11 pro or 12 pro???

[@sensonpan7994]

Subbed because you seems super reasonable when it comes to purchasing advices, rather than someone tries to hype it up.

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

[@lululombard]

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

[@stefan8912421]

Draining your battery even faster is not a staple.

I have a 7 Plus that I've had for the past 4 years. I'm upgrading this year to the 12 Pro Max. 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! They all look great to me (if you haven't seen them in person I would recommend that - the pictures/videos don't do them justice). Anyway, just my two cents. I really enjoy your channel and content!

[@HarleyQuinn257]

I have a Iphone 5s, Ive wanted a new phone for a while and wanted to buy the new iPhone 12 pro max. But, know Im getting cold feet, should I wait for the new phones next year or should I buy iPhone 12 pro max? What I really want better from my old phone is battery and camera.

[@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!

I feel like the lidar sensor makes the pro worth it for a vfx 3d scanning purposes (I know it is VERY niche, but that for me would be epic in my vfx efforts for some upcoming projects)

[@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]

No, wait for next year. It will get 120hz screen and might be bezeless

I’m just gonna wait for someone I know to get the iPhone 20 and get a hand-me-down iPhone 12

[@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.

Nah, realistically you can have anything past the 6 still working with a bad battery but any plus series past the 6, you dont need to upgrade.

[@slashtiger1]

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.
