Amid the recent camera announcements from Panasonic and Nikon, Apple has introduced the latest generation of its best selling product – the iPhone 12 and its four modifications (the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max). All four iPhone 12 models offer 5G, a faster A14 Bionic processor, a sleek new design as well as more than impressive video capabilities.
According to the company, the iPhone 12 Pro in particular is the very first smartphone that is capable of capturing Dolby Vision HDR along with the ability to record 4K 10-bit HDR video up to 60fps. What’s more, you can edit the captured footage directly on the phone itself using the Photos app, iMovie, or Clips.
Other than that, the iPhone 12 Pro utilizes a 47 percent larger sensor and larger pixels resulting in significantly improved low light performance. There’s also a new OIS which stabilizes the sensor by making adjustments to the Wide camera of the device 5000 times per second. That is five times faster than iPhone 11 Pro!
Also, the iPhone 12 Pro’s screen has a claimed brightness of 1200nits and a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1. The unit uses a Super Retina XDR display with a resolution of 2778 x 128 and 458 ppi.
Other noteworthy features include a new Ceramic Shield glass display, a more powerful camera system with better optical zoom, a stainless steel design, MagSafe wireless charging system, and a LiDAR sensor for faster autofocus.
