HOT S T

Apple has a habit of acting like it invented

things other phones have been able to

do for ages. Video calls had been around

long before FaceTime was a thing and

fingerprints had been unlocking phones

for ages when the iPhone 5S appeared.

Annoying, isn’t it? But when a new tech is

embraced by Apple, that’s usually a sign

that it’s about to go mainstream... and the

iPhone 12 Pro finally has 5G.

For some that would be enough, but there’s

also a new 6.1in Ceramic Shield display,

which Apple reckons is four times more

robust than before, and a speedy A14 Bionic

chip that’s claimed to make the 12 Pro up to

50 % faster than any other phone.

And that Pro moniker really starts to make

sense when you talk about the cameras.

There are three rear 12MP snappers – a

wide, an ultra-wide and a telephoto – but

it’s the DSLR-style sensor-shifting tech,

Lidar-powered autofocus and new

ProRAW photo format that’ll appeal to

serious shutterbugs. It can also shoot

Dolby Vision video in 4K HDR at 60fps,

so your footage will be good enough for

the big screen. Well, providing you’ve got

the skills to back up the kit.

As hot as... your directorial debut

Apple’s not messing around

when it comes to storage. The

least you’ll get is 128GB, but

you can also opt for 256GB

or 512GB. Plenty of space

to fill with those fancy

4K videos.

The design is strongly

reminiscent of the iPhone 5,

one of the best-looking

phones ever. You get a choice

of four finishes: silver,

graphite, gold and this

natty new blue.
