Buying call

Buy the iPhone 12 Pro if you want a refurbished Pro with real camera tools: triple 12MP cameras with a 2x telephoto, a LiDAR scanner for faster low-light focus and Night mode portraits, ProRAW and Dolby Vision HDR recording. The stainless steel frame feels premium. Skip it if you want a big zoom or 120Hz, because the telephoto is only 2x and the 6.1-inch OLED runs at 60Hz.
