What the iPhone 12 Pro display doesn’t have that is a fast refresh rate display. We also found it easier to read the iPhone 12 Pro’s display in direct sunlight. However, the iPhone 12 Pro’s display is brighter, averaging 742 nits on our light meter, compared to 662.7 nits for the Note 20 Ultra. The flat edges are sharper than the curvier sides I’m used to, but I didn’t feel any discomfort. The stainless steel sides feel more solid and less slippery than on the iPhone 11 Pro and are reminiscent of the iPhone 4 (in a good way). Apple has moved away from the rounded design of the last few iPhones to a flat-edge look on the iPhone 12 Pro.

If you're unable to find a 12 Pro on sale, the 13 Pro is probably now your best option since the experience is more refined and the price is identical to the 12 Pro's when it was new. You may still find some new ones knocking around, but retailers' supplies are likely very limited if they have any left at all. As a result the 12 Pro has been discontinued. While still a fantastic phone that was one of best camera phones around and one of the best phones overall at launch, the iPhone 12 Pro has now been succeeded by the iPhone 13 series, and specifically the iPhone 13 Pro.

iPhone 12 Pro Max review: The big-screen champ.Like the other new iPhone 12 models, the iPhone 12 Pro ditches the in-box charger and picks up support for MagSafe wireless charging. The iPhone 12 Pro offers not only a telephoto lens for optical zoom but a new LiDAR scanner that speeds up autofocus and enables Night mode portraits. But the real reason to get the $999 iPhone 12 Pro over the $799 iPhone 12 or $699 iPhone 12 mini is the cameras.
