Why iPhone 12 is a BETTER CHOICE than iPhone 12 Pro 

I ordered my mom the iPhone 12 for Christmas, she’s gonna be so surprised I can’t wait for them to send me the video of her opening it

6s to 12 no more getting laughed at

No Idea...I am still using iPhone 6S!

Who’s watching this video on an iPhone 12? Cause I’m not

Video starts 2:19

3 cameras on the back is a status symbol, people are paying for that. No one cares about the nerdy stats of the cameras. This is the biggest point.

From 6S to 12PRO. Happy camper here 🤙🏼

This video is worth watching! More of this, please!

The iPhone 12 is my very first iPhone ever since the original iPhone was introduced 14 years ago. I've been an Android guy since the beginning because I liked rooting phones, I liked customizing everything, and I didn't like Apple's tight control on software. But today, none of that matters because Android OS looks and feels like IOS--IMO. Nothing is gained by rooting phones any more so I can now focus on looks. And... I found the iPhone 12 to look well built, sturdy AF, and stable in my hand. I know folks with the PRO and the phones look and feel the same so I stuck the cheaper option. So far, really happy with my blue 12.

I’ve watched a few 12v12pro reviews and I feel most have predictable said pro is the way to go. However, this review sounds the most honest and not just going for the most expensive option just because!

Thanks for an honest and unbiased review, makes a refreshing change after watching other videos on RU-vid.

I went from an iPhone 7 to the iPhone 12 Man!!! I love this 12!!!

I just purchased the iphone 12 simply because phone prices are outrageous and this one was less expensive. Not to mention, I think the Pandemic caused prices to go up since everyone is now more than ever dependent on their phones. Good to know that the main difference between both is the camera, I'm not much on uploading or taking pictures so it worked out. Thanks for the info.

Hey gizmoslip i love your videos. Been watching since 2015. You are awesome. Hope you're having a good day. Stay safe

I am very satisfied with the iPhone 12 (especially with its size and weight) and the small camera differences that you highlight really convince me that the 12 was the best choice for my $849 investment. Thank you for the great video!

From android to iPhone 12 Ayy best thing happen this year 😂😂 🤙🏾

I’ve upgraded from IPhone 7 to 12 3 months ago & honestly love it, it’s perfect for my usage & have found the camera to be amazing. Was a worthwhile upgrade first time I’ve had an expensive phone, had my 7 for a year before upgrading & defiantly noticed the difference.

Been watching you for over 7 years, since you worked with the beyond slow-mo guy. Good times, I was very excited for you when your channel blew up, but I loved your original channel model, to provide informative drop test videos. Thanks for being one of my favorite content creators for the better part of a decade :)

Thanks for the honest, detailed review!

Hey. Hope you're well. Just curious as to why no uploads for 5 months and then all of a sudden 1 upload a week for past 4 weeks? Was everything ok? Thanks

glad youtube is back

Glad to see you back....was missing the famous “GizmoSlip Drop Test” and then beat the crap out of it

Love the videos Keep it up!!!!

Saw that repost, did you say or show somethig bad? Edit: oh, I did see the video saying it's private, but I just thought it was my phone being stupid. I've been watching for 4 years! Your way of destructing phones not minding it's expense or actual use is really cool and entertaining

A 12 128gb here in India costs more than a 12 pro 256gb US so Im waiting for my friend to bring one 12 pro 128 which with currency conversion charges will still be a better deal :)

As far as brightness is concerned, both phones only reach their max brightness in direct sunlight. You may be able to test this by shining a bright flashlight at the sensor.

I went from 8plus to to 12 AND I LOVED IT 🤩🤩

Of course, 12 regular is apt for the majority, who are seen not using the extra features in pro

agree with the 12!....getting that one instead of the 12pro

Thanks for this review. Shopping for both and this was very helpful.

I upgraded from my iPhone 8 to the 12 and it's AWESOME.!!!

The iphone 12 pro uses it's high brightness capacity of you either increase it or if your in bright sunlight. The 12 is technically capable of this, but it only work on hdr video for some reason, whereas the high brightness works on everything on the pro

I went from 6s to 12, the wait was definitely worth it.

Went from the 6 then to the SE now to the 12 and love it!

Can you bring back dropping stuff from the drone please. I miss that

I went from a 11 pro max to a regular 12. Never thought I would do that. No regrets.

The difference between the two devices is about 120$ (12 128Gb vs 12pro 128Gb). In the higher including: the stiffer and the more elegant shashi, a better camera system, 2 more GB RAM and a bit better display. In my opinion, if someone deside to spend 880$ for a mobile device, with 120$ extra could buy a device which could be still alive for more of one or two years than iphone 12.

Thanks for sharing!👍🏾

Thanks for sharing content based on objective day to day usage 👍 And yeah YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE PRO HAS 2GB MORE RAM

Just bought my iPhone 12 today! 😊 in white.

12 Pro in Graphite is so fucking clean !!!

Apart from your flawless guide which I totally agree with you. Your Tototro t shirt it's marvelous.

Nice review…. Thanks 👌🏻

Been watching you for 3 years now

Who here survived the 2020 downing of RU-vid?? 🙋‍♂️

Great review thank you

NICE VIDEOS BRO

I clicked on your video because you put the conclusion in the title, rather than asking everyone to watch the video to find out the answer.

I got the 12 bc I really couldn’t see much of a difference!

I got the 12 base model in lilac because of the color and I’m a stay at home wife/mother and it’s just enough for me. Don’t need all the extra specs. Husband and I upgraded for the 7. It’s great for us.

Great review

I upgraded from the X to the 12. Not gonna lie, not really missing the telephoto camera. The ultrawide is much more useful to have, and the newly improved regular wide camera is hella great, even at 2X digital zoom. (On the X I never went past the 2X zoom on the telephoto camera because the pics looked like garbage). Also I have a LiDAR sensor on my iPad Pro, and I NEVER use it. The value proposition of the regular 12 was too hard to pass up over the regular 12 Pro (and the Pro Max was just too big for me! I would totally go Mini but I need the battery life since I tend to use my phone a lot). Plus I LOVE the blue on the 12 vs the pacific blue of the Pro. No brainer choice for me.

Got my 12 today, yay.

I love the way you say "ugly notch" 🤣

I don’t think you’d be on a budget if you’re getting an iPhone 12.

Thanks for the detailed comparison. I fully agree with the point that 12 is a better choice for most people. I agree that The Pro is for professional camera users. One key feature you have overlooked is that, 12 is 25grams lighter - which is nearly 15% lighter - than the 12pro. To me that was the closing line to go with the 12 ! Almost similar phone but 15% lighter!! Cheers.

I’m agreeing with you. iPhone 12 is a better choice than 12 pro. I brought iPhone 12 red colour last month. There is only a very small difference on camera between iPhone 12 and 12 pro. The other specs are almost same. But the price difference is very high.

great info!

RU-vid back

Watching on my iPhone 12. 😘

i am a freelance videographer and i could say that iphone 12 is worth it than 12 pro. 12 pro just added with lidar (which most people dont really use) and extra camera features(like the zooming if you are lazy enought to come closer to your subject lol), but i think other than that it is almost the same.

Does the rim of the phone play a huge difference between these two phones? The sides looked a little thicker in the edges on the 12 where you got more ‘screen’ on the 12 pro max

I can finally watch the video . RU-vid is working again.

i just ordered iphone 12 black 128 gig , coming after tomorrow cant wait, upgrade from 8 plus

I got the 12 too instead of the Pro. The additional features are just not worth the price difference for me.

excellent review I decide to Iphone 12 after watch this brilliant info my dear so nice of you love you so much

For most people 12 128gb is more than enough, and the extra £150 I spent on apple care as I want to make sure that I am fully covered in case something goes wrong after the 12 months warranty. Pro in Uk comes at £1200 with care , £200 extra for one extra camera not worth it. Btw pro in white is amazing, black was my choice for the 12

I have the iPhone 12 with 128gb and the battery life is great , I am a heavy user and get a day and a half from a single charge , that’s with using the camera for pictures and video on 4K . No gripes from me it’s a awesome powerful phone with great cameras. I vlogg and make and upload Railfan videos to RU-vid.

Who else thinks the 12 looks more expensive than the 12 pro. Specially that white version

Watching on my 12 pro switched from android and have no regrets loving this phone

The 12 is good because this time you’re not missing much other than just an extra camera lense and that’s it. The same screen and everything is the same.

I've ordered the 12 256Gb in blue. Fills my needs since I own a reflex for photos and videos with great lenses.

Was it just me or was RU-vid not working for like 40 minutes?

At 3:09 was the iPhone 12 in power save mode since it’s minutes away from dBattery?

outside US the price difference is huge in my country(Philippines) iphone 12 128gb is priced at $940 while the iphone 12 pro for the same storage is priced at $1260 that's $320 difference. I like the black color looks sleek.

Just upgraded from the 7 to the 12. I’ve been missing out big time

You forgot to mention 12pro has 6 gb ram vs 4 gb ram found on the 12 , this alone worth the 120 more in my book， the upgraded camera and better casing are just icing on the cake

I think 12 pro makes sense as I want the smaller size more ram and better build and $150 price difference is giving you just around that value in features.

The real "cost difference" between the 12 and 12 Pro isn't just the $200. It's the weight. This thing feels like lugging around a laptop in your pocket.

Finally a good intro

So excited to get iphone 12 in 2021 😍

Uh you should shine a strong light into the ambient sensor when testing the peak brightness? Of course the differences are not as pronounced when you're indoor.

Nice job!

did you even mention the extra 2GB of ram?

Watching on my iPhone 12 pro! Love this phone

I have the Samsung galaxy s9+ and have had it for a few years now so it's an older phone. Going to be purchasing an iPhone 12 256GB phone soon and super excited about it. Not sure on which colour to get though, the Samsung I have is purple. Leaning toward the white though! Such a change from android but I do miss iphones

To be honest i had the 12 pro max but due to pain in my hands (arthritis) i had to drop down. I wanted to wait for the 13 but i had to much issues with siZe and weight so got the 12. The major difference is the screen brightness outside on a sunny day! I was like omg the 12 screen is not bright enough even with all the same exact settings like the 12 pro max . For sur the camera on the pro is wow compared to the 12. Will wait for the 13 pro to get.

who else is still using the first SE and looking forward to upgrade to 12 cause of the same sleek flat edge design

I just love the matte finish thats why I got the pro

I plan to wait until next year for the iphone 13 pro max which could come with higher refresh rate of 120 hertz and considering the introduction of 5G network would come with a much higher battery life. which lasts much longer Lets see .

This is how close-ups are made. Different angles, good lighting.

Watching on 12 pro, I chose because I love the design way more!

I love my product red so much💃🏽

Is the difference In the battery life between the iPhone XS and the iPhone 12 deserves the upgrading?

I like how each iPhone is unique this time around

I love my iPhone 12 128GB. no regrets for not getting the Pro

I don’t understand why people think the notch is so “ugly” like I swear people are never satisfied with what they get😅😅

I got a 12 Pro Max because AT&T is running a deal where if your trade-in is worth at least $100 you will get a $700 credit. That means the phone will only cost $13 per-month. I got the max because I like the BIG phones!

i doubt your nits test using spyder. did you properly set both phones screen settings the same, also turned off auto brightness setting

Just got a new iPhone 12 in blue. Coming from an iPhone 8. Great phone but flawed. Might be returning it and going back to the 8. Amazes me how such a innovative company such as Apple can’t fix the blurry text as your scrolling though Facebook. It strains the eyes and is very distracting. Shouldn’t have to “adjust” to this considering the cost of this device. Maybe a higher refresh rate screen might fix this? I’m not sure. They also can’t give us a always on battery percentage indicator like my 8 does. I’m the biggest fan of Apple products, just not wowed by this new phone.
