Apple iPhone 12 Pro, 256GB, Gold (Renewed)

Product Information

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.

With the iPhone 11 Pro last year, you knew you were getting a seriously better display by paying more over the iPhone 11. That’s not really the case here, as the iPhone 12 is now pretty much on par with this panel. Both are OLED, have the XDR branding and the same resolution. They can also both hit 1200 nits peak brightness when you’re watching HDR content. The only real difference I can spot is a slightly higher general brightness on the Pro model, giving the screen a brighter white look when you’re outside. Performance 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.

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.Apple Watch and Apple Pencil devices that require replacement parts are not included in the Apple Certified Refurbished Program. The iPhone 12 Pro is one of the fastest phones around – if not the fastest. I haven’t noticed any lag or slowdown during my time with the phone and save for a few iOS 14 bugs the experience has been fluid and fantastic. In the synthetic Geekbench 5 benchmark app – which should give a decent overall view of performance – the phone scores 1597 in single-core and 3968 in multi-core. This is a seriously high score on both counts. With the MagSafe charger, for example, the magnets align the phone right in the center of the charging pad, and because the iPhone 12 Pro knows it's a compatible charger, it’ll juice up your phone with twice the wireless power of the previous model.

The A14 chip also includes an Image Signal Processor which is what allows for those incredible iPhone photos and videos, using machine learning to make sure you always get a great shot. How good is the iPhone 12 Pro camera?

There are no headphones either. Apple says this is to aid its aim of going carbon neutral and it does make for a far slimmer box. Looking for something more ordinary? If the color isn't important to you or you dislike the Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro's newness, consider the Silver iPhone Pro or Gold iPhone Pro. Both finishes are simply gorgeous and ready for close-ups!

The iPhone 12 Pro has a 6.1 inch screen, a noticeable increase from the iPhone 11 Pro which measured 5.8 inches, featuring Apple's industry-leading Super Retina XDR display technology. So, why plump for the Pro, rather than a standard iPhone 12? A stainless-steel body, highly polished sides, Ceramic Shield, and in-built MagSafe charging are among the obvious differences in a nutshell. You’ll also get the same spectacular 6.1-inch OLED display as the basic model, but it’s even brighter on the iPhone 12 Pro.

Fast‑charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Charge time varies with settings and environmental factors; actual results will vary. It would have been nice to see 120Hz display technology debut on an iPhone with the Pro and Pro Max. This higher refresh rate makes scrolling around your phone look and feel much more fluid, and considering that a lot of top-end Android phones now have this feature it’s a shame that it's missing from a 2020 Apple model. iPhone 12 Pro review: 5G

iPhone 12 Pro

As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone 12 Pro does not include a power adapter or EarPods. Included in the box is a USB‑C to Lightning cable that supports fast charging and is compatible with USB‑C power adapters and computer ports. Scratch the surface and you'll actually see a more compelling phone. The telephoto zoom is quite useful – arguably more so than the ultra-wide sensor. The LiDAR scanner, while still in its infancy as technology for an iPhone, is already proving to be helpful when shooting in low light, and there's that issue of storage too – starting at 128GB is far more palatable than 64GB for the modern smartphone user. However, let's not beat around the bush: the iPhone 12 Pro was the most powerful smartphone we've ever tested at the time of launch, thrashing the competition when it comes to raw power. It's still surprisingly potent. Some other pros of the 12 Pro include top-notch battery life, portraits with night mode, water resistance, wireless charging, and 5G connectivity. 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.
