Completing this task transfers all your settings, home screen arrangement, and photos from the old phone to your new phone.Point your current phone’s camera at the new phone with the cloud animation, and then enter your passcode.Position the old and new phones close together, and a dialog box appears asking to transfer data to your new device.This operation requires iOS 11 or later and will occupy both your old and new devices at the same time, so plan accordingly. If you don’t want to start from scratch setting up your new phone, use Apple’s Quick Start feature to transfer all your data. While I didn’t have an Apple 20W charger, juicing up the device using an 18W charger took about an hour and 40 minutes. Bear in mind though that battery life can be expected to take a hit when the device is used with a 5G network. While I can’t call battery life a strong suit of the iPhone 12 Pro, I can’t call it a con either. Using it with Apple’s 20W charger would charge the iPhone 12 Pro at 15W speeds.Ĭoming to the battery life delivered by the iPhone 12 Pro, expect about a day’s worth on a single charge, with medium usage. It’s quite cool, but costs Rs 4,500 and you’d still need a Type-C charger along with it. Worth mentioning that the iPhone 12 Pro also supports the new MagSafe charger, which is a puck-shaped wireless charger that attaches magnetically to the back of the handset. And if you do buy one, Apple’s own 20W charger that costs Rs 1,900 is your best bet for fast charging your new iPhone. More importantly, those who buy the phone would have to purchase a charger alongside, since most of them aren’t likely to have a Type-C charger (or a Qi wireless charger) from before. The box has the phone and the Type-C to Lightning cable, and little else. Barring the fact that this has made the iPhone 12 Pro retail box much slimmer, this one step by Apple has completely killed the unboxing experience. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know that starting with the iPhone 12 range, Apple has stopped bundling wall chargers in the retail boxes of its smartphones. I won’t get into too many details here, but suffice it to say that some of these new features do take iOS a couple of steps closer to Android, but Apple’s mobile OS still retains most of its original favour.īefore I get to the battery life, let’s figure out the mystery of the missing charger. One of the most interesting ones is support for widgets, which allows for greater customisation of your iPhone home screen, and something called App Library, which is akin to the app drawer on Android phones. Speaking of iOS, we’re currently on v14, which comes with tons of new features. All said and done, the iPhone 12 Pro is an excellent shooter for both still and videos. It’s features like this that help this device earn the ‘Pro’ suffix in its moniker. These images capture lots of extra info and allow you greater flexibility while editing later. Not just that, with the latest refresh of iOS, the iPhone 12 Pro also gets support for ProRAW, which is Apple’s take on RAW images so loved by serious photographers. However, one downside is that not many social platforms support this format as yet. One of the biggest new features that have been added this time is support for shooting videos in Dolby Vision, going up to 4K 60 fps in resolution. iPhones have always excelled in video shooting, but the iPhone 12 Pro (along with its other 12 series siblings) takes things up a notch. The 12 Pro excels in almost all conditions as far as shooting stills is concerned, but videography is where it really takes the cake. As usual, Night Mode on the iPhone 12 Pro kicks in automatically when lighting is low, and helps capture decent shots. You probably won’t be able to notice big differences in daylight shots, but the iPhone 12 Pro shoots brighter images in low light as compared to the previous-gen model. Overall, the iPhone 12 Pro captures superb shots in daylight, with plenty of detail and great colours. Further, all the cameras on the device (including ultra-wide and front sensors) now support features like Deep Fusion and Night Mode, which means not only can you capture portraits better in low light, but selfies are improved too.
