Starting at the same price as last year’s iPhone 11 Pro, Apple’s new flagship sports a completely new design with double the starting storage capacity. The entire lineup gains a flat stainless steel design with smaller bezels, 5G, and a magnetic “MagSafe” charging system. The iPhone 12 Pro also gets a new, larger 6.1-inch “Super Retina XDR” OLED display—compared to the iPhone 11 Pro’s 5.8-inch display. It also ships with a Lightning to USB-C cable—but no power adapter or EarPods (a first for Apple). In addition to updated Silver and Gold finishes, new “Graphite” and “Pacific Blue” color options are available.

The most often replaced iPhone 12 Pro parts include the battery, screen, speakers, and lenses.

You can identify the iPhone 12 Pro by finding one of the model numbers either on the inner edge of the SIM card tray or within the phone's Settings app:

A2341
A2406
A2408
A2407

You can find the model number through the phone's UI by going to the Settings app and navigating to General > About. Tap on the number listed in the Model Number section and it should change to a format that looks like the numbers above.

The iPhone 12 Pro features a 6.1 in (diagonal) flat glass screen, thin black bezels, and a notch at the top of the screen to accommodate a speaker and selfie camera. The back cover is glass and the edge frame is made from flat stainless steel.

Volume controls and the SIM tray can be found on the left edge while the power button is situated on the right. A rectangular camera "bump" containing three cameras in a triagonal layout protrudes slightly from the back case. This model has no home button.

The iPhone 12 Pro can be differentiated from the iPhone 12 Pro Max by the 6.1 in screen (relative to the 6.7 in screen on the Pro Max model).
