The Apple iPhone 12 Pro 128GB is Apple's 2020 smartphone featuring a 6.1 inches, 90.2 cm2 (~86.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Apple A14 Bionic (5 nm) chipset. It comes with a 2815 mAh battery. At AED 1,100 in the UAE and ₹34,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The iPhone 12 Pro 128GB excels with its 12MP wide f/1.6 lens delivering superior low-light detail, the 2x telephoto (52mm) for crisp optical zoom, and the LiDAR scanner enabling precise AR depth mapping. Its 2815mAh battery sustains 81 hours of endurance, outlasting many 2024 mid-rangers. Ideal for professionals using ProRAW photography, needing seamless iCloud sync across Macs, or relying on MagSafe 15W wireless charging with iOS 17.4. Weakness: the A14 chip throttles under sustained 4K60 video recording, causing frame drops after 8 minutes. In UAE at AED 1100, it’s competitive because it’s the last Pro model with a stainless steel frame and no notch, offering premium build at near-refurbished prices. In India at ₹34900, it’s overpriced—newer flagships like the Pixel 8 Pro offer better thermals, 120Hz display, and 50MP main sensor for similar cost, making this a legacy buy only for iOS loyalists needing MagSafe or LiDAR.
