If you’re looking to upgrade to Apple’s best recent iPhones, you’re probably looking at the recent iPhone Pros. Now the real question is, how do you decide between the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro? And is there actually a difference? Here’s a clear and easy breakdown to help you decide what phone is the best for you.

Price
Money makes the world go around. Getting a new iPhone is an investment so let’s break down what you’ll pay for each phone. The iPhone 12 Pro starts at £999 for 128GB of storage. Meanwhile, the iPhone 11 Pro started at £1,049 for 64 GB when it launched in 2019 but it can be picked up right here on Unlocked Mobiles for £999. Best bang for your buck? Buying on Unlocked Mobiles saves you money on both phones and offers Sim Freedom to maximize your savings!

Design
There wasn’t any huge visual design changes between these two models. The iPhone 12 Pro features a 6.1inch display in a fairly compact design that measures 146mm x 71.5mm x .29mm and weighs 189 grams. While the iPhone 11 Pro offers a 5.8inch display in a handset that measures 144mm x 71.4mm x .32mm and weighs in at 188 grams. The real difference lies in durability. Unlike the iPhone 11 Pro, the iPhone 12 Pro offers a Ceramic Shield front with 4x better drop performance. It is also has a deeper maximum depth in splash, water, and dust resistance. Care more about battery life? The iPhone 11 Pro has a slightly longer video playback life, while the audio playback life is identical in both phones. Our Vote? The iPhone 12 Pro is the clear design winner in measuring durability and resistance. You no longer need to be nervous about those beach days!

Display
The OLED displays on the iPhone 12 Pro (6.1inch ) and the iPhone 11 Pro (5.8inch) are stunning. We’re talking, your grandpa will think he’s looking out a window kind of stunning. The phone’s brightness, colour, and photo accuracy is the best you’ll find on any phone. The displays are identical across the board from colour quality, to brightness, to contrast ratio. The main difference is the iPhone 12 Pro has a slightly higher pixel resolution. No wrong choice here. The handsets are very similar but hit up the iPhone 12 Pro if you want the most modern and innovative image.

Camera
But what if your amateur Instagram photography business is taking off and you need to come through with quality pictures? It’s no secret that Apple has been killing it with their phone cameras. Both the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro have a triple 12MP camera system with Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto lenses. Not to mention, both phones record Dolby Vision video in 4K for stunningly colorful footage. What about photography at night? If you’re looking to shoot in the dark, the iPhone 12 Pro is the one for you. The Wide Camera has an f/1.6 aperture. This allows 27% more light than the iPhone 11 Pro for better low light photos and videos. The iPhone 12 Pro also introduces Night Mode Portraits to maximize night mode quality. Both phones will capture masterpieces but if you’re looking to the capture adventures under the night sky, you have to go with the iPhone 12 Pro.

Summary
So there you have it! There’s no wrong choice. The iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro are both sleek, high-speed devices that excel industry-wide in display quality, performance and photography. If you want my two cents, I’d go with the iPhone 12 Pro for the best durability, photography, and the most powerful chip in a smartphone. You can get both phones on Unlocked Mobiles today for sim freedom, and fast delivery!

For the first time in mobile history, the purchasing of Sim Free handsets is becoming as, if not more, popular than buying a handset on a mobile contract. Here’s the low-down on Sim Free purchasing and why it could save you money and provide you with the flexibility with your tech, that keeps you up to date.

What is a SIM?

Put simply, a SIM card (also known as a subscriber identity module) is a small piece of circuitry that slots inside your phone and connects you to a specific network. It also provides you with your unique phone number so that you can make calls, send texts and connect to the internet.

What is SIM-free?

Sim-free simply means that you buy any phone of your choice without a Sim card in the package. The Sim-free handsets that we sell on Unlocked-Mobiles are sim-free unlocked, which means they can work on absolutely any network of your choice. Consequently, you are free from any contract and commitment and able to choose any Sim Only or contract network deal that suits you best.

Why buy Sim-free?

When purchasing a handset from us, you are buying your mobile outright with a one off payment. This makes us an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their monthly outgoings, as you aren’t paying for your hardware on top of your monthly allowance costs for a further one to two years.

Many SIM free phones may appear much more expensive than phones sold on contract. However it is important to remember that whilst the networks want you to think your handset is ‘free’ with your airtime, they are in fact spreading the cost of the phone across your monthly bill for the full length of your contract. This may reduce your initial up-front expenses, but you often end up paying more for the handset in the long run.

Enjoy your freedom with Sim-free handsets.

Buying a Sim-free handset also provides a less restrictive way of managing your monthly outgoings. All major networks now offer extremely competitive Sim only plans. Most of these are monthly rolling deals, allowing you to cancel or change the package without being tied to lengthy 12/24 month contract.

It is important to remember that most Sim-only deals also offer the consumer a higher airtime allowance than their handset contract counterparts, meaning you are less likely to go over your monthly spend and face additional charges.

Say up to date with the latest releases.

Sim Free purchasing is also a perfect choice for those who like to stay up to date with the latest tech releases. When bought on a contract, you have to wait until that contract ends to receive a new handset, which can be up to 2 years. Buying your handset sim-free allows you to purchase the latest releases the second they are announced, without having to pay a weighty early termination fee to the networks.
