MagSafe charger on iPhone 12 Pro (Image credit: apple) iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 11 Pro: Accessories It’s not possible to expand storage with either iPhone, so if you think you might run out, it’s worth buying the larger capacity if you can. That’s great news for photographers or videographers who might have found the 64GB base model of the iPhone 11 Pro series to be a little on the small side. You can quickly charge either iPhone to 50% capacity in just 30 minutes with a 20W adapter.īetter news is that Apple has boosted the memory capacity of the iPhone 12 Pro series, with the minimum amount available being 128GB. Apple says this to help the environment since many people already have iPhone chargers - but if you don’t, or yours has broken/gone walkabout, then you’ll need to buy one. For most people, the difference will be barely noticeable, so it’s probably not worth worrying about too much - but if you wish your iPhone 11 Pro’s battery would last longer, you might be disappointed.Īnother potential disappointment is the lack of battery power adapter included in the box of the iPhone 12 Pro. iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 11 Pro: Battery and capacityĪpple generally plays its cards close to its chest when it comes to exact battery capacity, but by comparing the “playback” specs tells us that the iPhone 12 Pro battery is ever so slightly less than the iPhone 11 Pro. Another benefit is that the iPhone 12 Pro is slightly more water resistant - it can now go to 6 metres, compared to 4. It’s not for us to decide which of those you prefer as that’s down to you as an individual, however one arguable benefit it brings to photographers is that you can balance the iPhone on its side - which could come in useful for certain shots. When placed next to each other, images on either screen look nigh-on identical.Īpple has also rewound the clock a little when it comes to design, turning to its squared off edges of the iPhone 4 era. Both screens are Super Retina XDR devices, with both offering similar resolutions and ppi (pixels per inch), and the same brightness. The screen is also now tougher than its predecessor, with a ceramic shield front which is said to be 4x better for “drop performance” - which is you’re a little on the clumsy side could be good news. If you want to know the exact iPhone 12 Pro dimensions, it’s 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.4mm, while the iPhone 11 Pro dimensions are 144 x 71.4 x 81.1mm. It also weighs 1g less than its predecessor - 187g vs 188g. Impressively, Apple does this inside an overall device which is (slightly) slimmer and narrower than the older device, and just 1.3mm taller. The iPhone 12 Pro has a larger 6.1-inch screen, compared to the iPhone 11 Pro’s 5.8-inch device. Here we’ve got a bigger noticeable difference between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro.

You’ll only be able to view the full effect of this type of recording on compatible devices (such as the iPhone itself, or a Mac running Catalina OS). However, the iPhone 12 Pro series adds Dolby Vision HDR for video recording. iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 11 Pro: VideoĪgain, video functionality is broadly similar across both devices. You can spot some variation when using Portrait mode - with the older iPhone 11 Pro producing warmer tones than the more realistic 12 Pro - in isolation the difference isn’t particularly striking, but put them together and it becomes much more apparent. We’ve spent a lot of time with both the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro, and looking at images side to side in the vast majority of cases provides little noticeable difference.
