Basically, it's similar to the raw format that many photographers use, which preserves all the image information captured by the sensor to give you greater flexibility when editing. However, if you don’t know how to take advantage of this extra information by processing your raw images, they can look flat and dull compared to JPEGs, which are process in-camera, or in your phone. iOS 15 has also added FaceTime improvements, SharePlay, better notifications, a redesigned Safari, and quite a lot more. iPhone 12 Pro review: battery life The iPhone 12 Pro has, essentially, the same OLED screen technology as the iPhone 11 Pro. The big change is to the screen size, which increases from 5.8-inch to 6.1-inch without adding to the size of the iPhone 12 Pro's chassis compared to the previous model. Fast‑charge capable: Up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes 11 with 20W adapter or higher (sold separately) Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale. While only some units are returned due to technical issues, every unit is evaluated to ensure it meets Apple's quality standards.

Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple's Finished Goods testing procedures. While the iPhone 12 Pro cameras don't seem to be that much of an upgrade from the 2019 11 Pro range, with the same 12MP sensors on all three, the big news is that you can now use Night Mode with all of them, rather than just the main camera. At least, that's the theory. The issue here is that while the iPhone 12 Pro can connect to a huge variety of different 5G networks, including mmWave in the US with Verizon, these networks haven't fully rolled out yet in many locations. One of the big features that Apple is touting for the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max is the ability to record, edit and watch Dolby Vision content in 4K at 60 frames per second, such is the enormous grunt of the iPhone 12 Pro.

That said, we're not entirely convinced that HDR is really needed on a phone – some of the non-HDR Netflix content we watched looked brilliant, but some of the movies on iTunes (which are automatically upgraded to HDR for free) looked a little too dark in parts. As for the video capabilities, in addition to being able to record 4K footage at 60 frames-per-second, the iPhone 12 Pro also supports Dolby Vision HDR, which is a format that is slightly superior to the other, more popular HDR implementations. Models and Prices We won't dwell on the software, as like all remotely recent iPhones this runs the latest version of iOS, which at the time of writing is iOS 15. Available space is less and varies due to many factors. A standard configuration uses approximately 11GB to 14GB of space (including iOS and preinstalled apps) depending on the model and settings. Preinstalled apps use about 4GB, and you can delete these apps and restore them. Storage capacity subject to change based on software version and may vary by device.

The battery life of the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro is something of a mystery, insofar as we're hearing reports (currently unconfirmed) that the latest iPhones have smaller batteries than the previous generation. This is possible thanks to the aforementioned LiDAR technology. It calculates the time it takes for the light to reflect off of various objects in a scene, thus allowing for more precise depth measurements. This technology is also quite useful for augmented reality apps, allowing them to scan your environment more accurately for better results and functionality.And let's not forget about the new colors: the iPhone 12 Pro comes in Graphite, Silver, Gold and Pacific Blue, which are more muted and, well, professional-looking than the more garish options on offer with the iPhone 12. That’s true – most of us have a drawer full of them. And if your Lightning cable is still functioning fine, then you've got nothing to worry about. Apple's ProRAW bridges the gap, as images are computationally improved by the phone's software, but you're still able to edit and enhance them in your favorite photo editing app, or directly from within Photos itself apparently. might seem flashy, and it's hard not to be dazzled by promises of speeds of 200Mbps on the go, but it's actually a really useful and robust technology. It'll allow you to connect seamlessly to the internet in crowded environments – if you've ever tried to browse the web at a sports event, or upload a photo while at a concert, you'll appreciate being able to do those things with ease over a 5G connection.
