Now, in the same magazine, other writers may have written reviews of the iPhone 12 series. I’ll talk about that from now on, but it’s not interesting even from a normal perspective.
So I’m going to talk about “12 or 12 Pro, which is better?” If you are still concerned, I would appreciate it if you would refer to it.
Same size, same screen. Same “12” and “12 Pro” down to the size of the box
The ones on loan this time are “12” and “12 Pro”, which have the same release date. This is quite annoying. To be honest, with “12 mini” and “12 Pro Max”, you don’t have to worry at all. Because the characters are completely different.
However, the “12” and “12 Pro” are exactly the same size, and the finish and camera are different. The size is really the same, so you can use the same case.
The screen was different until the iPhone 11, but in the 12 series, both were unified to the organic EL. The brightness seems to be a little different, but I can’t tell the difference when I use it normally. In a short test, it looked “the same”. As will be described later, “being an organic EL” has become very important since this time, so it is desirable that “both are organic EL”.
Well then, which one should you choose?
However, the finish is symmetrical. The “12” has a glossy back and matte sides, and the “12 Pro” has a matte back and glossy sides. If you’re talking about the blue and silver that I borrowed this time, my preference is blue. However, this is preferable for the side finish that feels exactly like “Sterling Silver”. I think silver is a good color for those who want a “white iPhone”. The new color, Pacific Blue, is also a good color, but to be honest my favorite is blue “12”.
By the way, in the box, “12” is white and “12 Pro” is black. They are both the same size and the thickness is about half that of the conventional box because the AC adapter and headphones are no longer included.
Isn’t there a big difference to shoot during the day? LiDAR is valuable for shooting at night and
Then the point becomes “camera”. Since the “12” is a standard model, there are two types, wide angle and ultra wide angle. In addition to that, “12 Pro” has “Television”. It is the same as the iPhone 11 Pro.
Although the number of scenes that are not noticeable even with digital zoom is increasing, the presence or absence of double telescope is still large. This is as important as last year.
Another point is “LiDAR equipment”. If you’re interested in AR, you don’t have to say anything else. Not buying 12 Pro is a waste. There are still few augmented reality apps for iPhone 12, but in my experience with iPad Pro, with or without LiDAR it can make a big difference. So don’t worry about the people in that group.
This LiDAR also affects photography. However, in fact, I tend to think that it is not a big difference. Apparently LiDAR in the iPhone camera seems to be limited to “dark places”. No differences were found during daytime shooting. If you focus on daytime photography, the difference between “12” and “12 Pro” is small.
However, when shooting portraits at night, the precision of the so-called “silhouette crop” changes considerably. The focus is also clear and the feeling of blur and blur is reduced. If you’re unhappy with how your photos look in the dark, the 12 Pro is a good choice.
Furthermore, there is a high possibility that camera applications and video applications will appear in the future that make more use of LiDAR. Given that, I think it’s an ant to select this place with “expectations for the future” as well as AR.
As for videos, the entire iPhone 12 series now supports “HDR shooting with the Dolby Vison method”. This is pretty amazing. As the screen became organic EL and the contrast increased dramatically, HDR movies began to play brighter. In short, it was treated in the same way as an HDR compatible movie. So it looks great.
The function itself is the same for “12” and “12 Pro”, but “12” can shoot up to 4K / 30 frames, while “12 Pro” can shoot at 4K / 60 frames. This area is also a factor that reinforces the impression that “12 Pro for cameras”.
“12 Pro” has 6GB of main memory! Surprisingly advantageous when looking at storage based on the “128GB standard”
Now, is the content really the same?
When I looked it up with the familiar “Geekbench 5”, I found that the amount of memory installed was different. The “12 Pro” was 6GB and the “12” was 4GB. In terms of memory and CPU core clock, “Pro” is higher than iPad Pro. CPU benchmark score is also higher than iPad Pro due to the difference in the number of cores, but the Single-core performance is almost 30% faster.
If you think the power of the iPad Pro is in the palm of your hand, “12 Pro” is cheap. Also, compared to the cheaper model, the “12” has 64GB of storage, while the “12 Pro” has 128GB. When comparing 128GB, the price difference will be reduced to 16,000 yen.
Considering “Television” and “LiDAR”, and 2GB of main memory, the 16,000 yen price difference is not that bad. You see, the “12 Pro”, which I had thought “the same size and performance but high”, immediately became a bargain.
I really want to choose between 4 models, but …
Of course this is a plea. After all, money is important.
If so, it is better to choose “12 mini” than to choose “12” first. Although it is necessary to check with the actual machine, the specifications for “12” and “12 mini” differ only in screen size / resolution and battery runtime. If so, you can put up with it for two weeks and choose the compact “12 mini”, which is 9000 yen cheaper. However, to be honest, if you are worried about 9000 yen for 2 weeks, I think it is better for your mental health to buy it.
And if you’re looking at the camera, you’ll be better off with the 12 Pro Max, which has a sensor size, camera shake correction, and an optical “telescope” zoom that is 2.5 times the “wide angle” ratio. . However, the price will increase by 11,000 yen.
It goes without saying that it is better to choose between 4 models instead of 2 models. However, the problem is “if you can wait”. I can understand the feeling that I can’t wait two more weeks. I understand well.
In that case, in the end, it can be said that there are two options, “price” or “future”. Personally, I think the 128GB “12 Pro” would be a good option for this price difference. However, assuming the “12 Pro Max” camera is not inexperienced.
