  • The first reviews for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are out, and they all agree they're the best iPhones so far. But 5G connectivity is so limited and spotty it shouldn’t even be a consideration unless you're future-proofing.
  • The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are very similar to their predecessors when it comes to overall design and specs, with the Pro getting a better camera system, more base storage, and a stainless steel frame.
  • Most reviewers agree that the iPhone 12 is the new iPhone for most people. However, the Pro does have a few key advantages and can appeal to iPhone owners upgrading from its direct predecessors like the iPhone X, iPhone XS, or iPhone 11 Pro.

This year is different when it comes to buying the latest iPhone, and it’s not just because of the novel coronavirus pandemic that forced Apple to delay its releases. One thing that makes the iPhone 12 launch unique was Apple’s decision to introduce four distinct iPhone 12 models this year, including iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. All the handsets feature a brand new design, they run on the same powerful A14 chip, they all support 5G networks, and they feature OLED screens with tiny bezels. The handsets come in various colors and prices start at just $699 (with carrier offers). This makes choosing a new iPhone a bit more difficult than in previous years, and the first wave of Apple's iPhone 12 release proves that. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are nearly identical handsets that are similar when it comes to specs and design. The Pro has a stainless steel frame, more storage, and two additional camera sensors on the back that will offer additional features and improved AR experiences (at some point down the road) — but you’ll have to pay $200 more for the Pro.

The first iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 reviews are now out, and they could help you choose the right iPhone 12 version for you. Mind you, the Pro is mostly sold out for the moment so if you want a new iPhone right away, the decision might be made for you.
