In October 2020, the tech community eagerly welcomed the introduction of the iPhone 12 Pro within the iPhone 12 series. Alongside discussions on color, camera, configuration, and performance, the dimensions of the device were also widely debated and compared.
The specific dimensions of the iPhone 12 Pro are as follows:
- The iPhone 12 Pro measures 146.7 mm in length.
- The width of the iPhone 12 Pro is 71.5 mm.
- The thickness of the iPhone 12 Pro is 7.4 mm.
- The phone features a 6.1-inch display.

Thus, the iPhone 12 Pro shares the same dimensions as the iPhone 12 but is heavier and smaller than the iPhone 12 Pro Max (6.7 inches).
Examining the surface design, the iPhone 12 Pro features a stainless steel frame and sharp, angular corners, creating a sturdy feel instead of the soft, rounded curves seen in previous iPhone generations. Consequently, holding the iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max in hand provides users with a certain level of robustness.
For this reason, many tech reviewers argue that the size design of the iPhone 12 Pro is ideal for every experience because it is neither too large nor too small.

The iPhone 12 Pro incorporates the Ceramic Shield screen technology, which, as per information provided by Apple, boasts excellent impact resistance, up to 4 times more than other versions and generations.
LiDAR Sensor
The LiDAR sensor has been previously applied to some iPad generations by Apple, but this marks the first time this sensor technology has appeared on a smartphone.

- Portrait mode photos on the iPhone 12 Pro are significantly improved by focusing on the subject and creating a clear separation between the subject and the background.
- Night Mode can now be activated for both the front and rear cameras. In this mode, users can capture high-quality frames in low-light conditions.
- With LiDAR technology, users can also measure a person's height by standing in front of the lens, relying on the scanning of objects and the surrounding environment.
