When compared with the iPhone 12 review, "load maximum" values are about 5W vs 10W in iPhone 12 pro and iPhone 12, respectively. However, this double fold difference is not seen in the battery runtime test with maximum load.

This makes me think about the reliability of power consumption tests. Was there something wrong about these tests? I believe the maximum load of iPhone 12 could be measured wrong, since it is also very far from the maximum load values of iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 pro.

Any comments on this?

QuoteThe frequency of 277.8 Hz is relatively high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. However, there are reports that some users are still sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be aware.

This statement truly makes you wonder.

It's pretty sad that Apple has given up on almost all their devices as far as PWM is concerned. (Yes OLED by nature has it but ipads and various macbooks have it too.)

Thanks for this great review!  :)
I am really curious if the 12 non pro models also turn into 60hz mode between 21% - 50% brightness.

@mrdunkel
They somehow partially implemented it, maybe iy's on nonpro model too and I believe someyhing similiar is on 11 pro.

"Above 22 % the iPhone goes into 60 Hz mode, a method also commonly used for DC dimming. This maximum brightness achieved in this mode is around 150 nits, which means it will be most commonly used indoors."

@ncfan, you're absolutely right, an OLED screen with all its pros and cons is an essential feature of every flagship phone and should not affect the score in any way. And yet, Apple could choose:
1. implement DC Dimming and give the consumer a choice
2. do nothing and go with the flow like every other company
3. push some misleading false narrative behind the consumer's back.

Just 64 GB of "RAM" is not enough. I'd rather they put 1 petabyte of storage and 512 GB of RAM for more fluent gaming.

and yes, the flickering will always be perceived by the brain no matter the frequency...so i would give the phone to begin with less than a 90% score

Flickering is present on each and every OLED display, frequencies might differ. So all OLED phones should start with 90% because of that? That would mean that nearly all if not all flagships would have worse score that good midrange phones with LCD displays.

It doesn't hurt that much to use a brain or does it?

especially with the iphone 12 (pro), iphone 12 pro max models, if you hold the phone with your hand it leaves marks on the hand, which hurts, caused by the bottom sharp edges of the phone and due the weight of it...very disappointed with that retro thinking

The iPhone 12 Pro received a design refresh reminiscent of the old iPhone 5s. It features the latest technology the Californians have to offer, including 5G and Apple's new magnetic MagSafe feature. Find out whether or not it is worth switching in our review.
