    UPDATE RE: Dolby Vision HDR Video on iPhone 12/12 Pro
    The workflow is only working effectively if you go from videos on your Camera Roll to iMovie and then publish content at the moment. I tried posting to Instagram, and it can't handle the video file leaving it extremely overexposed. Twitter processes a standard version of the video, but not HDR. I'm not sure about other platforms yet. People are also having issues going from iPhone to iMovie to convert the videos, and then to Final Cut Pro.
    Adobe Premiere used a slightly more exposed version of the videos I took, but they weren't the HDR versions of the videos.
    It's still ahead of its time. We'll have to wait for third-party apps to figure this all out and it might cause you more headaches than you anticipate right now. You might want to turn off 'HDR Video' in Settings - Camera - Record Video and then Toggle 'HDR Video' OFF.
    The iPhone 12 Pro is a worthy upgrade for Apple users unless you own an iPhone 11 Pro. It brings features you can't fully take advantage of yet like 5G, the new LiDAR sensor, and even Dolby Vision HDR can be tricky to use out of the gates. It's an iPhone for the future, but you'll have to wait for it to get here.

    I've had my 12 pro for a few days now, and boi do I not regret getting it. I upgraded from a 7 plus so it was quite an upgrade. Wireless charging is great, I hate cables, magsafe made it even better. And I'm so impressed with the battery life, compared to what my 7 plus was like at the end. I could barely get through the day, now I can get through two days no problem with regular use. I love the new design, I like how it feels when I hold it and it looks amazing. The camera is great, tested it outside in the dark and I'm SO impressed. I like the size, I didn't want anything bigger than my 7 plus so the pro max was out of the question for me. It was time for me to upgrade and I think I made the right choice.

    Just upgraded from the regular iPhone 11 to the 12 pro on Saturday so I’ve had a few days to mess with it. Didn’t need to upgrade necessarily, but I wanted the OLED screen and the extra camera so went with the pro model.
    6.7 inches on the Max is just way too big and 6.1 inches isn’t by any means small. That’s one of the reasons I loved the 11 last year was because the 6.1 inch screen seemed just the perfect size. This thing is smooth and so crazy fast, and it feels amazing in the hand. I actually like the flat edges feel over the rounded edges. No complaints at all so far. Let my wife have the Pacific Blue and I went with the Graphite as our Verizon store only had one of each left and I’m partial to the grey and black colors, anyways.

    Great Vid Brian. Your review videos help sort out the live from the jive.
    Part of the appeal for an iPhone is that it has a fair number of update cycles, but one or more could be used on waiting for 5G before that feature can be fully utilized. Not sure what to make of that. No power adapter is a drag. Apple wants to help the environment and save on packaging by forcing those of us who don't have a USB-C to spend more money on... more packaging.

I like OLED and the wide-angle camera but I miss touch ID and Candy Product Red. Face ID is like a fair-weather friend, sometimes it knows me and other days have no clue who I am. So I definitely agree that if you have an 8 or 8+, still good battery life, like touch ID, and on a budget, then stay you're not missing that much.

It has large screen, the camera is good, has long life battery. I do like the iphone12 pro max, due to similar large screen size , the new pacific blue color and the 5G network, but you need to ask yourself a question, DO YOU REALLY NEED THE UPGRADE against your previous upgrade by spending 1000$ if the previous one is pretty good enough ? Upgrades always come in future years be it a smartphone, TV or a car. If you really need the upgrade then ONLY one should consider buying it. I am surprised the iphone 12 or iphone 12 pro does not come with ear pods or a charger. But nevertheless if one really needs an upgrade then should go for it, otherwise previous upgrades are also quite good.
