Both the iPhones are powered by Apple’s custom Bionic A14 SoC. The SoC has six cores (two high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores) and four GPU cores and it is built on the TSMC’s cutting edge 5nm process. Apple claims A14 is 50 percent faster than the A13 chip. The chip is 5G capable as you might have expected. It supports both sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G (which Apple calls Gigabit LTE). 

At the back, both the smartphone has a triple camera setup. The iPhone 12 Pro rear camera setup consists of a 12MP f/1.6 wide camera 7-element lens, 26mm focal length; 12MP  ultra-wide-angle lens offers a 120-degree FoV; 12MP f/2.0 telephoto lens capable of  4x optical zoom range and Digital zoom up to 10x.

Also, the wide camera on the iPhone 12 Pro Max has a sensor-shift optical image stabilization system.

Apple also announced a new feature it calls “Apple ProRAW” that will be available on the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max later this year. Apple says that it’ll offer existing computational photography benefits like its Deep Fusion and Smart HDR along with the flexibility of RAW photos. The format will be available across all four cameras and will let users adjust things like sharpening, color highlights, and more while still taking advantage of Apple’s existing photography enhancements.

The battery on the iPhone 12 Pro is rated for lasting up to 17 hours while the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s one is up to 19 hours.
