iPhone 12 Pro
It’s a leap year.
A14 Bionic rockets past every other smartphone chip. The Pro camera system takes low-light photography to the next level — with an even bigger jump on iPhone 12 Pro Max. And Ceramic Shield delivers four times better drop performance. Let’s see what this thing can do.
Less bezel,more screen.
Kicks glass.
Ceramic Shield, tougher than any smartphone glass

A14 Bionic
The only thing even close was our last chip.
A14 Bionic is the first 5-nanometer chip in the industry, with advanced components literally atoms wide. Forty percent more transistors rev up speeds while increasing efficiency for great battery life. And a new ISP powers Dolby Vision recording — something no pro movie camera, let alone any other phone, can do.

LiDAR Scanner
AR at the speed of light.
The LiDAR Scanner on iPhone 12 Pro measures how long it takes light to reflect back from objects, so it can create a depth map of any space you’re in. Because it’s ultrafast and accurate, AR apps can now transform a room into a realistic rainforest or show you exactly how a new sneaker will fit.

A new day for Night mode.
Night mode comes to both the Wide and Ultra Wide cameras, and it’s better than ever at capturing incredible low-light shots. LiDAR makes Night mode portraits possible. And the Wide camera lets in 27 percent more light, for greater detail and sharper focus day or night.

12 Pro Max. Camerus maximus.
The bigger iPhone maxes out the Pro camera system. A 47 percent larger sensor and larger pixels dramatically increase the amount of light gathered on the Wide camera. A new OIS stabilizes the sensor instead of the lens so your shots are steady — even when you’re not. And the new 65 mm Telephoto camera lets you zoom in tighter on portraits.

Portraits that come out at night.
Night mode portraits on the Wide camera give you vivid color, as well as beautiful bokeh that accentuates lit buildings, streetlights — any background lights.
Even with a single small light source, LiDAR and our A14 Bionic can render every pattern and texture in the foreground along with realistic color throughout the room.
Deep Fusion kicks in for low- to mid-light scenes. The Neural Engine analyzes multiple exposures pixel by pixel to bring out unprecedented detail in the magnifying glass, the woman, and the wall.
Portrait mode, fine-tuned.
Machine learning on iPhone 12 Pro is even better at separating the subject from the background. And creative controls let you adjust the background blur and light on faces.
More detail. In the blink of AI.
Smart HDR 3 automatically refines highlights, shadows, and contours. Even at midday, you can see detail in her face and shadows that graduate all the way to true black.
Smart HDR 3 captures every bit of golden hour magic, pulling out all the texture in the rock, while staying true to the subtle blues of the sky.
Smart HDR 3 dials in the white balance, and the sea foam holds its shape and definition despite all the motion.
Beyond faces, Smart HDR 3 uses machine learning to recognize scenes, so it can bring out the cracks in the ground and the roughness of the hill without increasing noise in the sky.
Shot on iPhone 12 Pro Max.
2.5x optical zoom on the 65 mm Telephoto camera lets you see all that close-up detail without being right next to your subject.
Bigger pixels on the 65 mm on the Wide camera help reveal intricate patterns, subtle textures, and incredible detail throughout the shot — even when you’re shooting in available light.
Colors on the 65 mm on are remarkably true-to-life in almost any light, like all the translucent reds in her outfit, and the saturated neon hues of the diner behind.

Apple ProRAW. For an absurd amount of creative control.
ProRAW gives you all the standard RAW information, along with the Apple image pipeline data. So you can get a head start on editing, with noise reduction and multiframe exposure adjustments already in place — and have more time to tweak color and white balance.
Dolby Vision recording
60 times more colors. Infinitely more spectacular.
First camera ever to record in Dolby Vision
iPhone 12 Pro jumps from 8- to 10‑bit HDR recording, capturing 700 million colors for much more lifelike video. Then it goes one better, recording in Dolby Vision — the format used by film studios. You can even edit Dolby Vision video and use AirPlay to see every last bit of the difference on the big screen.
AirPlay streams your 4K Dolby Vision video to Apple TV and smart TVs.5
Now every night is movie night.
The Wide camera’s larger sensor brings way more detail out of the shadows. And for the first time, you can take Night mode Time‑lapse videos with a tripod to capture scenes with dramatic motion. Now even your movies can pull an all-nighter.

TrueDepth camera
It’s never too late to take another Night mode selfie.
Night mode comes to the front camera, bringing all that low-light detail and natural color to your favorite subject. Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 3, and Dolby Vision recording are now on the TrueDepth camera, too. So you’ll look your best in any light.
Super Retina XDR display
