If you have an iPhone 12 Pro and are considering switching to the iPhone 15 Pro, we’ve got the rundown on everything you need to know in this iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro comparison.
The iPhone 12 Pro came out three years before the iPhone 15 Pro. Three years in which the design has changed, becoming more comfortable thanks to a new choice of materials.
- The iPhone 12 Pro weighs 177 grams, as does the iPhone 15 Pro.
- What changes is how it’s built, with the iPhone 12 Pro being made of steel and the iPhone 15 Pro of titanium. Titanium is lighter and stronger. What’s more, your fingerprints will be less noticeable.
iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro: Difference in Display
The display is an essential difference between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro. Are there any changes? There’s loads, to be quite honest!
- Both the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro have a 6.1" display.
- The maximum brightness of the iPhone 12 Pro goes up to 1,200 nits while the maximum brightness of the iPhone 15 Pro goes up to 2,000 nits.
- On the other hand, the display refresh rate is twice as fast on the iPhone 15 Pro vs the iPhone 12 Pro. This means you'll feel everything twice as smooth and fast thanks to the 120Hz display on the iPhone 15 Pro vs. the 60Hz display on the iPhone 12 Pro.
- Finally, the iPhone 15 Pro display has Dynamic Island, while the iPhone 12 Pro has the famous Face ID module. The advantage of the Dynamic Island is that you have the front camera, Face ID as well as an area where different shortcuts are anchored. Such as your music or timers for example.
iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro: Difference in Camera
Now we come to the jewel in the crown of this iPhone 12 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro comparison. The cameras! Both iPhone models have three rear cameras and one front camera. But there are big differences between them.
- The main camera x1 is 12 megapixels on the iPhone 12 Pro vs the 48 megapixels on the iPhone 15 Pro. You can imagine the leap in resolution from 12 MP to 48 MP.
- The ultra wide-angle x0.5 camera is brighter on the iPhone 15 Pro and has macro mode. This type of photography allows you to get much closer to objects such as flowers or textures.
- The telephoto, or zoom, camera gives you x2 optical zoom on the iPhone 12 Pro and goes up to x3 zoom on the iPhone 15 Pro. And on the iPhone 15 Pro Max it goes up to x5 zoom. If you like photography, consider the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
As well as the differences in optics, the iPhone 15 Pro boasts superior photography and video features vs. the iPhone 12 Pro. This is down to the power of its processor and image processing, as well as the physical differences we have noted above. These are the modes available on the iPhone 15 Pro:
- Action mode for stabilising movies in cinematic quality.
- State-of-the-art portraits with DSLR-like outline and blur adjustment.
- Cinema mode for blurring different subjects in a video. To sum up, it is portrait mode applied to video.
