The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max's Cameras

The Pro-level iPhone’s cameras maintain the smartphone’s reputation for photographic excellence, but how do they improve on their predecessors’ cameras?

The iPhone Pro boasts three separate lenses and a LiDAR scanner for mapping out your environment with beams of light. Combining the power of the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras with features built in to the fastest-ever mobile phone CPU, the A14 Bionic chip, the pro-level iPhone continues to achieve pro-level photography. But what’s so special about it, and why?

Three Great Lenses

The iPhone 12 Pro features a new Wide camera with a seven-element lens. It has an ƒ/1.6 aperture, the fastest ever on an iPhone, for 27 percent improved low-light performance in photo and video. This means more light reaches the sensor, leading to better photos and videos, with less noise and speckling.
