Moving from the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 12 Pro brings a few upgrades, some that only hardware techies may appreciate. For instance, the phones are exactly the same size, with both carrying a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display and 2,815 mAh battery. The main differences are the 12 Pro’s additional telephoto zoom lens and LiDAR scanner for Night Mode portraits. The 12 Pro can also shoot and edit Apple ProRAW images, comes with 6GB of RAM, and features a higher 512GB storage capacity. You’ll also find stainless steel sides with matte glass on the back, as well as a different color palette. These are all small, but worthwhile upgrades and sets the iPhone 12 Pro apart from the regular iPhone 12.
