What's new: We're not going to distinguish between the Pro and standard iPhones here, because every iPhone 12 model is several steps behind the latest iPhones at best and way behind in a few key areas. The iPhone 12 Pro models don't even offer 120Hz ...

Enough to make you feel you have a brand-new iPhone. Note, though, that one of the biggest things in iOS 18 is the introduction of Apple Intelligence, though it won’t be available in this release. When it arrives, it will be for iPhone 16 series, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max handsets only.

For once, you don’t have to wait a year to get the best new features from the iPhone 16 Pro. The iPhone 16 offers all the ones you will appreciate most, and for $200 less.

Processor: After a generation gap on the iPhone 15 and 14 models, the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro models each have an A18 chip. The main difference is an extra GPU core on the A18 Pro, but most users are very unlikely to notice.

While the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are equal in many ways, the Pro model has an internal difference compared to the Pro Max.

This update is for anyone who wants as much security as possible but doesn’t want to trust to iOS 18 just yet.

The problem may be related to the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 series, though some people with older iPhones are reporting trouble, too.
