BGR | Christian de Looper

The iPhone 12 Pro is an upgrade over the iPhone 11 Pro, but it's a relatively minor one. if you have an iPhone 11 Pro you won't notice much of a difference. If, however, your phone is a few years old or more, and you're willing to spend more on a phone, the iPhone 12 Pro is the way to go.

... it looks and feels very different than any other modern phone, in the way Apple is historically good at making older designs seem instantly out of date.

Engadget | Chris Velazco

Compared to the iPhone 12, the new iPhone 12 Pro is a considerably tougher sell. But it still might be worth it for some. It packs the same great performance and display as the standard 12, but with more storage at the base level, a much more flexible camera setup, and LiDAR for improved augmented reality experiences. It's worth the step up if photography is your priority, but you still want a relatively compact phone.

The iPhone 12 Pro is a great phone for camera enthusiasts but doesn't seem as attractive for the average user when you place it next to the iPhone 12 or the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

If you haven't upgraded your phone in a while and want the most feature-rich 6.1-inch iPhone, then the iPhone 12 Pro is the way to go. It's fast, takes great snaps and looks the business. If you want to save a bit of cash, then the cheaper iPhone 12 has a lot of the best features here for a. lower price.

VentureBeat | Jeremy Horwitz

It's wrapped in plenty of 5G hype, but otherwise doesn't offer much in the way of added user-facing functionality. For those of us who once bought into Apple's claim that it holds back on adopting new hardware until it can deliver valuable new software and/or services, the iPhone 12 Pro feels like yet another example of an Apple device sold on potential rather than practical benefits.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
