The iPhone 12 range represents, on the one hand, a return to the origins and more specifically to the general appearance of the iPhone 4. On the other hand, it is a break with what happened in recent years. As soon as I took this equipment out of the box, I had a mixture of surprise and nostalgia. In the case of Nostalgia, it goes without saying why. Surprised because I imagined that despite the return to the past, the frames were thinner. In addition, it is the first Apple device to come without a charger and earphones (except in France). Now that we have received the iPhone 12 Pro for testing, is it worth the investment? That is what we will discover in this first quick-review and unboxing of Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro, with a more detailed one coming in the coming days.
Apple iPhone 12 Pro: unboxing and first impressions
So let’s start this journey with what we can find in the iPhone 12 Pro case. One thing is for sure. This time it comes lighter.
As soon as we open the box, we immediately see the iPhone 12 Pro. It is easily distinguishable by its triple camera configuration.
As soon as we remove the iPhone we quickly see that the only thing that comes in the box is the charging cable. In fact, we even understand this strategy from Apple. It was to reduce costs and in reality we all have a charger. The lack of earphones is what bothers us a little. Even if we have at home the ones from last year or two years ago, it is always something that tends to be damaged.
Anyway, the most important thing is there. The cable and the iPhone as revealed by the unboxing of the iPhone 12 Pro.
We now move from unboxing itself to design.
The bezel around the iPhone 12 Pro is a very shiny stainless steel. It is an upgrade over brushed metal. The matt rear is also interesting.
I have only one note regarding the side frame. It is a true fingerprint magnet.
However the screen on this iPhone is somewhat larger than its predecessor. We have a 6.1 inch panel instead and a 5.8 one. And only one gram was heavier. This year we are entitled to an OLED panel and one thing is notorious. Excellent image reproduction and especially color. This in the series is something extremely notorious.
The front panel has also been upgraded to a ceramic-hardened screen. According to Apple it is four times more resistant to falls. Fortunately, it’s something we haven’t tested. I suspect that the GMS Store would not like it very much.
Another novelty is that the iPhone 12 Pro is more water resistant than its predecessor. On paper you can stand 6 meters for 30 minutes. Rest GMS Store that also did not want to confirm!
Frames and monocles are the same size.
The difference is in the cameras
Changes to the iPhone 12 Pro’s camera may be the big reason for the upgrade. It is true that Apple maintains the same ultra-wide, wide-angle and telephoto sensors. However, the angled lens has a wider aperture to ensure that you capture better images in reduced light. Meanwhile, a LIDAR sensor is also present in the rear camera. In practice, it uses light to measure depth.
This ensures that the camera focuses on the subject more quickly than before. And that ability works really well.
This is particularly evident in portrait photographs taken with the new night mode. However, of course, it’s not just the hardware that works. In reality, the software also helps a lot.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Pro also has access to Dolby Vision, 60 frames per second for video and Smart HDR mode that combines three photos in one to deal with highlights and shadows in more specific light conditions.
A new format for photographs but not yet ready
However from what we had the opportunity to experiment, we also have a better white balance. Now just an aside. Apple has promised a new format for the photos taken with this smartphone. Something called ProRAW. It is important because it will allow you to retain more information that photographers can use in the post-production phase. Unfortunately it will only be available later in the year.
Regarding the chipset, I haven’t had much time to try this equipment yet. However, no one doubts the speed. After all, we are talking about the A14 Bionic, a chipset developed with 5 nanometer technology. If the A13 Bionic already managed to baster the Snapdragon 865 Plus, this one presents an even bigger difference.
MagSafe charging system
The iPhone 12 Pro comes with a magnetic ring that helps this device to charge or attach it to an accessory. Apple equipment has been charging wirelessly via Qi for many years. However, MagSafe adds something new. The new magnetic system is powerful enough to effectively fix it to the charger, maintaining the ideal position.
I still had very little time to test this equipment as such in the coming days I will show the capabilities of cameras and other details that make this equipment unique. Anyway, there are some details that I can already analyze.
A significant upgrade
The new iPhone 12 Pro is undoubtedly a significant upgrade over the iPhone 12. This is due to the extra camera and the new LIDAR sensor. However, when the new format arrives, everything will be even better. Of course, some people who really like photography will be more tempted by the iPhone 12 Pro Max. After all, we have room for a larger sensor in one of the cameras and for more zooming capacity. In any case, whoever purchases this one will not feel defrauded in any way.
It is a beautiful device, extremely fast and with phenomenal photographic capabilities as I will show you in the coming days.
