Apple has traditionally held back when it comes to hardware specifications for its iPhone – only benchmarks or software leaks later show how precisely the devices are equipped. This also applies to iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. Both come with the new A 14 Bionic SoC in the 5 nm process, which packs more transistors into a smaller area. Apple does not disclose what that means specifically in GHz.

Betaleak and first Benchmark Now there are at least first indications of how the RAM equipment differs. MacRumors discovered in the most recent beta 12 an important detail of Apple’s development environment Xcode. The specs can be found in several plist files. Accordingly, iPhone 12 and 12 mini come with 4 GB of RAM and only the Pro models, i.e. iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, get 6 GB of RAM. With the iPhone 11 Apple only donated 4 GByte to all three models.

The statement coincides with the first Geekbench results for the iPhone 12 Pro that surfaced this week. The benchmark also shows that the iPhone 12 Pro has similar single-core performance values ​​to the iPad Air 4, Apple’s first model with the A 14 was (it is still not on sale). Apple is comparatively conservative when it comes to the RAM equipment of its smartphones. This also has something to do with the fact that iOS apps are by default more optimized than Android applications.

Differences in Dolby Vision The iPhone 12 has worse camera equipment than the Pro model. There are only two instead of three sensors and the LIDAR is also missing. The differences in performance can be seen in the – quite impressive – Dolby Vision support. Although the iPhone 12 can record HDR videos, these may only be 4K with a maximum of 30 Have frames per second.
