Apple released two Pro models of the iPhone 12 in 2020. The iPhone 12 Pro is the smaller version but it has almost the same high-end features spotted on the Pro Max. Its pricing starts from $999 for 128GB storage and goes up to $1299 for 512GB storage.
As compared to the iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Pro has the same physical dimensions, a 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display, Ceramic Shield technology, MagSafe technology, a flat-edge design, A14 Bionic processor, Dolby Vision video capturing, IP68 water resistant, and 5G connectivity.

However, there are some notable differences that make the iPhone 12 Pro more attractive. It features a surgical-grade stainless steel chassis instead of aluminum; The premium material makes the phone look much glossier and sleeker. The most important upgrade is the camera module. The Pro version features a triple-camera setup with additional telephoto lens and LiDAR scanner. The scanner makes autofocus much faster even in low-light conditions and enables Night Mode portrait shots. Although both feature OLED displays, the one on iPhone 12 Pro has a higher typical brightness at 800 nits version 625 nits on iPhone 12. The Pro also has more RAM (6GB vs 4GB), doubles the storage, and supports the new Apple ProRAW format.
The iPhone 12 Pro can come in one of the four model numbers – A2341, A2406, A2407, and A2408. They differ in country of origin, LTE and 5G bands, and dual SIM support. Each of the model number has a wide range of part numbers specifying markets, carriers, storage (128GB, 256GB, 512GB), and color options (graphite, silver, gold, pacific blue). You can find out all the differences in this table.

So if I buy A2341 model (unlocked and free-SIM) for using it in Europe, does it work?
Tuan Do says
Sure, it works perfectly.
Chris says
So, it looks like the USA version is the one to get if you had a choice? All the bands covered by the “global version” (A2407) are also covered by the “USA version” (A2341), plus A2341 has additional ones including CDMA, additional FDD-LTE bands, and additional 5G bands?
Salah says
If I buy iPhone 12 Pro A2341 for use in Pakistan, will it be a good choice?
Generally for all networks and specifically for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(company)
