After much waiting, finally, the last boss iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max has just been released by Apple on October 13.
Let's compare with the previous generation to see the superiority in design, powerful hardware configuration of this latest superstar duo:
1, Design
The new design is probably the biggest change in the iPhone 12 lineup this year. The iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max both possess a more square and angular design language than their predecessor iPhone 11. Overall the design of this iPhone is quite similar to Apple's 2019 iPad pro.
Both front and back glass surfaces have been coated with "Ceramic Shield" to minimize scratches when using the device. Apple believes that this glass technology will 4 times reduce the rate of broken glass in case of a drop. Sandwiched between these two glass sides is a frame made of polished stainless steel that looks very eye-catching and luxurious, unlike the iPhone 12, which is only equipped with aluminum edges.
2, Monitor
iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max are both equipped with OLED "Super Retina XDR" display quite similar to its predecessor. The 12 Pro version will have a 6.1-inch screen and the Pro Max version will be 6.7 inches, both of which increase in size due to the screen border on the sides is made smaller than the previous generation, but unfortunately the "rabbit ears" "Keep the same size.
iPhone 12 Pro has a resolution of 2532 x 1170 and the Pro Max version will have a higher resolution screen of 2778 x 1284. Both of them offer the same pixel density at about 460 ppi and will support the standard. Dolby Vision and HDR10. Unfortunately, this year the iPhone 12 does not have the 120Hz high-frequency Pro Motion display technology available on the iPad Pro.
3, Support 5G
iPhone 12 is the first iPhone version to support 5G with download speeds of up to 4Gbps and 200 Mbps upload. From now on, 5G will be a standard feature on all iPhone models. But Vietnam's network infrastructure still does not support 5G technology, so this feature is also a bit redundant in the Vietnamese market.
4, Chip A14 Bionic
The A14 Bionic is Apple's first 5nm microprocessor. This change makes the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max 50% more efficient when compared to competitors in both CPU and GPU.
Also this year, Apple has focused on improving its AI Neural Engine with more than 16 AI cores in its A14 chip, resulting in an 80% improvement in Machine Learning on the iPhone 12 Pro.
5, Camera
The camera on the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max is probably the most worthwhile upgrade in the lineup with a total of 3 12MP rear cameras and 1 12MP front camera. The 3 rear cameras include 1 Ultrawide wide angle camera, 1 regular wide angle camera and 1 zoom telephoto camera. In terms of setup, it is quite similar to the iPhone 11 Pro's 3 rear cameras, but this year Apple has added two very valuable features.
First, like the iPhone 12 brother, Apple has expanded the aperture of the rear camera from f 1.8 to f 1.6 and increased the pixel size in the sensor, which improves the low-light shooting capabilities of the iPhone 12 Pro 27% better with the old iPhone 11 pro.
Second, Apple has integrated a LIDAR sensor like on the iPad Pro 2019, which is only available on the iPhone 12 Pro line with Pro Max. This makes the iPhone 12 Pro's camera focus super fast and accurate, plus this LIDAR sensor can measure range more accurately, which is useful in design, engineering and virtual reality (AR ).
In addition, Apple has also used its machine learning improvements to apply Deep Fusion feature on all cameras, Deep Fusion will use AI to process and improve photos, ensuring users natural image quality. and sharpest.
What's more, the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max also balance both the sensor and the lens, to minimize shaky video recording.
6, MagSafe
Similar to the iPhone 12 and 12 mini brothers, the 12 Pro will also support MagSafe. MagSafe is a new wireless magnet charging technology, it will help keep the device in place while wireless charging is in progress and minimize the case of device misalignment on the charging surface. You just need to bring the MagSafe charger cord to the back of the device and the magnet will automatically attach.
Apple also integrates many features for MagSafe's magnets, in addition to charging, the iPhone 12's rear magnet is also used to attach accessories such as a protective case, a mini wallet, ...
7, Things to note and selling price
You should note that this year the iPhone 12 will not have a charger, but only USB to Lightning. Apple does this to protect the environment, so you'll have to buy chargers outside. There's also no earphones in the box, too, these changes make the iPhone's box significantly smaller.
