iPhone 12 Pro Release Date: November 2020

Swappasaurus says...

The iPhone 12 Pro was announced in October 2020 as a followup to the previous year's iPhone 11 Pro. The iPhone 12 Pro screen size is slightly larger than its predecessor, up now to 6.1-inches (same size as the regular iPhone 12 model). Inside the phone is powered by an A14 Bionic chip and for the first time ever, now features 6GB of RAM. Along with updated internals, Apple introduced a new design with flat, stainless steel sides more reminiscent of the iPhone 4 or 5. The camera also received several new features, like Night Mode which now works on all 4 cameras and with portraits thanks to the LiDAR scanner. The iPhone 12 Pro also can record Dolby Vision HDR, and features 15W MagSafe magnetic charging.

iPhone 12 Pro Specs

Swappasaurus says...

The iPhone 12 Pro is a powerful, versatile device with a number of interesting new features. For instance, the iPhone 12 Pro comes equipped with a Super Retina XDR OLED display, excellent resolution (2532 x 1170 pixels), 5G Ultra Wideband support, MagSafe wireless charging, and, of course, IP68 dust/water resistance. This device also offers higher tiers of internal storage, with 128GB being the standard, followed by 256GB and 512GB. However, the iPhone 12 Pro really stands out from the base-model iPhone 12 and the rest of Apple’s lineup on account of its camera capabilities.
