A new leak hints upcoming Apple iPhone 12 Pro phones will feature more upgrades across the board than was earlier anticipated. The report claims the higher-end pair of the new iPhones will have a spate of camera improvements and ProMotion displays, similar to the ones found on Apple’s iPad Pro tablets.
The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, which are rumored to come equipped with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens respectively, will have 120Hz refresh rates that will enable smoother scrolling and better gaming experiences. On top of that, they’ll likely be capable of dynamically switching between 60Hz and 120Hz depending on what you’re doing at the moment to preserve battery life, according to Max Weinbach and EverythingApplePro,
To further ensure the ProMotion tech doesn’t end up hampering the phones’ endurance, Apple is expected to bump up the battery capacity. The bigger of the two, the iPhone 12 Pro, will carry a 4,400mAh pack, nearly 500mAh more than the current iPhone 11 Pro Max. This upgrade will also come in handy when you take advantage of these phones’ 5G network support.
Despite shrinking down the notch, Apple has reportedly packed in a handful of much-needed Face ID refinements. Most importantly, the two iPhone 12 Pro models will be able to authenticate your face from a greater range of angles thanks to their sensors’ wider field of view.
The iPhone 12 Pro will likely take sharper pictures at nighttime, too. It’s said to feature faster autofocus and more reliable HDR algorithms for producing less noisy results during night-time photography. The phones will also employ their added lidar system, an extra sensor for better Augmented Reality experiences, for an improved Portrait Mode.
On the hardware front, EverythingApplePro says the telephoto lens on these two will be upgraded to offer a 3× optical zoom, up from the existing iPhones’ 2×. It is possible that Apple may bundle a hybrid mode that allows the new iPhones to club together the data from the telephoto lens and digital cropping, allowing you to zoom even farther — a feature that has grown increasingly common among premium Android flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra.
An earlier leak also claimed the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will have an iPhone 5-like design with flat stainless steel edges, a smaller notch, and a new Navy Blue color option.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
