The Verge: iPhone 12 Pro
Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro is beautiful to look at and hold, but isn’t much different from the less expensive iPhone 12. On top of that, the bigger iPhone 12 Pro Max stands to offer a better camera, which puts the 12 Pro in a tough spot.





The Verge: iPhone 12
The Apple iPhone 12 has a lot of new stuff: a new OLED screen, 5G, MagSafe for charging and accessories, and a whole new design with a ceramic shield screen. Does all that add up to a must-upgrade? Only if you really need one, even though it's great.




Engadget: iPhone 12
I've been testing the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro for about a week, and it wasn't long before I stopped thinking about how big a deal these things were or weren’t. No, I couldn't help but dwell on more practical matters, like just how similar these two phones really are. The gap between a "regular" iPhone and a Pro iPhone has grown smaller than ever. That's great news for anyone who doesn't want to spend more for a smartphone than they have to, but it also means deciding between the two is no easy feat.





Engadget: iPhone 12 Pro
At the risk of sounding a little dramatic, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are more than just phones -- they're the beginning of a new era for Apple. The company didn’t just launch a boatload of new hardware in mid-October: It also signaled a dramatic shift in the company's smartphone design, marked Apple's embrace of the world's growing 5G networks, and the revival of MagSafe (can't I saw that coming). Now, new iPhones are pretty big deals anyway, but the 12 and 12 Pro might be bigger deals than ever.

CNET
We got our hands on the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. The phones are even more similar to each other than last year's iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. We spent five days testing the new cameras, 5G connectivity and, of course, MagSafe.

Don’t consider Apple’s latest iPhones for the superfast 5G network connection, but for the best design in years and a great set of cameras




TechRadar: iPhone 12
The iPhone 12 is a more expensive phone than last year’s iPhone 11, with Apple adding $100 / £100 to the price; it does, however, bring a number of new features in the shape of an OLED display, a slightly upgraded camera, a new design and – the big hitters – 5G and MagSafe connectivity.


Pocketlint: iPhone 12 Pro
The iPhone 12 Pro does all it can to warrant that Pro label. The screen is stunning, the camera capability professional, and when you can use it, the download speeds with 5G, fast. And that means that there are many features here that most users won't use or need, but that's okay, this isn't for the model for them, with the iPhone 12 offering much the same experience in a cheaper package.




Rene Ritchie
If you’re coming from an iPhone 6s or 7 or 8, even a X or XR, everything taken together, from the OLED display to the better cameras and radios, MagSafe, just everything, makes for a really compelling upgrade.




Tom's Guide: iPhone 12 Pro
The iPhone 12 Pro delivers amazing camera and video quality, 5G and crazy fast performance in a sleeker new design, though the battery life could be better.
