iPhone 12 Pro Review: Classic Premium or Overpriced Legacy?
Apple’s iPhones are always about refinement, not reinvention — but with the iPhone 12 Pro, Apple brought a mix of modern design, improved camera, and performance upgrades that made it one of the most balanced iPhones in recent memory.
But is it still worth buying in 2025, especially when newer models like the iPhone 15/16 series and Android flagships offer futuristic features and AI magic? Let’s dive deep.
1. Design & Build: Flat is the new elegant
The iPhone 12 Pro marked a major return to flat edges — a design reminiscent of the iPhone 4 and 5 series — and it still feels modern even today.
- Materials: Surgical-grade stainless steel frame, matte textured glass back
- IP68 Water & Dust Resistance
- Front: Ceramic Shield protection — tougher than any previous iPhone glass
- Weight: 189g — feels solid but well-balanced
- Colors: Pacific Blue, Graphite, Silver, Gold
The flat-edge design gives a firm grip, though slightly less ergonomic than curved phones. Fingerprints on the glossy sides? Still there.
2. Display: Bright, sharp, but lacks the 120Hz magic
- Super Retina XDR OLED
- 6.1-inch, 2532×1170 resolution
- HDR10 & Dolby Vision support
- Peak Brightness: 1200 nits (HDR)
- Color Accuracy: Excellent — as expected from Apple
- No 120Hz — capped at 60Hz (ProMotion came with iPhone 13 Pro)
Outdoor visibility is top-notch
Video watching on this screen is immersive, thanks to HDR support and deep contrast
3. Performance: A14 Bionic – Old but still Gold
The iPhone 12 Pro came with Apple’s A14 Bionic, the world’s first 5nm chip in a smartphone when launched.
- 6-core CPU + 4-core GPU
- 6GB RAM (more than the standard iPhone 12)
- Geekbench multi-core (2025 re-test): ~4100+
- AnTuTu (2025 re-test): ~950K
Even in 2025, it runs all apps, social media, and editing software flawlessly
Lightroom, iMovie edits: Smooth, no hiccups
Heat management: Very stable — never heats up unless gaming for long
4. Camera: Less AI, More Accuracy
Triple camera setup:
- 12MP Main (f/1.6, OIS)
- 12MP Ultra-Wide (f/2.4, 120°)
- 12MP 2x Telephoto (f/2.0)
- Front: 12MP TrueDepth selfie camera
Daylight photos:
- Natural tones, balanced shadows
- Crisp details — no over-processing
- Smart HDR 3 does a fantastic job
- Low Light (Night Mode):
- Good but not class-leading in 2025
- Ultra-wide struggles in very dark settings
Video:
- 4K 60fps on all cameras
- Dolby Vision HDR video recording
- Excellent stabilization
- Microphone quality: crystal clear
5. Gaming and GPU: Still smooth, but not the king
The iPhone 12 Pro was never marketed as a gaming beast, but it still holds up.
COD Mobile: Very High graphics, Max FPS – Smooth
Genshin Impact: Medium settings for stable gameplay
BGMI/PUBG: HDR + Ultra – Runs well, minor heat over time
Asphalt 9: No lags, buttery experience
- Touch response: Excellent
- Thermals: Slight warmth after 40 mins
- Battery Drain: ~15–18% per hour in intensive gaming
6. Battery Life: Not the best, not the worst
- 2815mAh battery
- 20W wired charging
- 15W MagSafe wireless charging
- 7.5W standard Qi charging
Screen-on time: 6–7 hours (mixed use)
3 hours YouTube streaming: ~30% drop
Gaming for 1 hour: ~20% drop
Charging:
- 0 to 50%: ~30 minutes
- Full charge: ~90 minutes (wired)
7. Software: iOS 18 support still going strong
Out of the box: iOS 14
Current support: iOS 18 (2025)
Still receiving full iOS updates
iCloud, Continuity, Handoff, AirDrop – still flawless
No AI features like ChatGPT-integration or Pixel-style call screening
Security: One of the safest smartphones even in 2025
8. Audio, connectivity, and biometrics
- Stereo Speakers: Loud and clear
- Face ID: Fast and accurate, even with updated mask detection
- 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, Dual SIM (eSIM + Nano)
- No fingerprint sensor
9. Who should buy this in 2025?
Perfect if you:
Want a premium iPhone experience without spending 6 figures
Prefer clean iOS, regular updates, and stable performance
Are not a hardcore gamer
Love taking videos or cinematic shots with minimal tweaking
Not for you if:
You want the newest tech (120Hz, AI tools, USB-C)
You play GPU-heavy games daily
Battery life is your top priority
Final Verdict:
The iPhone 12 Pro in 2025 still delivers a refined, premium experience that makes it hard to call “outdated.”
Solid performance
Beautiful camera and video output
Premium build and iOS updates
Reliable in all the basics
