However, Apple has changed the bezel of the iPhone 12, when instead of being curved like the previous generations, it is beveled flat like the iPad Pro or iPhone 5 before.
Another big difference in the design of the iPhone 12 Pro is the color. If last year's iPhone 11 Pro saw the appearance of Midnight Green for the first time, this year's iPhone 12 Pro will be replaced by "Pacific Blue". Naturally, users also have three other traditional color versions, gray (Space Gray), silver (Silver) and gold (Gold) to choose from.

Camera
The two iPhone 12 Pro models continue to be equipped with three cameras with three focal lengths: ultrawide (ultra wide angle), wide (normal angle) and telephoto (zoom).

Zoom further. If the telephoto lens of the iPhone 12 Pro (as well as most previous iPhone generations) has a focal length of 52mm, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is pushed up to 65mm. Thus, instead of being able to zoom 2X as before, users will be able to zoom to 2.5X on the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
47% larger sensor, 1.7 micron pixel size, improving low-light image quality by 87%.
- Not only supports anti-shake on the lens, iPhone 12 Pro Max also has anti-shake right from the sensor.
In addition to the three cameras mentioned above, the iPhone 12 Pro also has a built-in LiDAR sensor that appeared on the iPad Pro.

On the iPhone 12 Pro, it also helps a lot in photography by providing faster and more precise focusing, especially in low-light environments.
In terms of video recording capabilities, the iPhone 12 Pro is the first smartphone to support Dolby Vision-enabled HDR video recording at 4K 60fps.
Processor chip

Memory
If the lowest version of the previous iPhone generations have only 64GB of internal memory, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will be raised to 128GB.
