00:00Ranking every iPhone Pro ever made by Apple.
00:03Yes, I'm gonna rank every single iPhone Pro
00:06ever introduced by Apple,
00:08from the 11 Pro all the way to the new 17 Pro.
00:12We're gonna look at the design
00:13and some important changes for each generation.
00:16And then in the end,
00:17I'm gonna rank every iPhone Pro with you.
00:20And I'd love to hear what your favorite iPhone Pro was.
00:23You can already share that in the comments.
00:24Now let's start by ranking every Pro iPhone.
00:27Here they are, all the iPhone Pro models
00:30ever introduced by Apple.
00:33We have the 11 Pro, we're introduced in 2019,
00:362020 for the 12 Pro, 2021 for the 13 Pro,
00:412022 for the 14 Pro, 2023 for the 15 Pro,
00:462024 for the 16 Pro, and 2025 for the 17 Pro.
00:52So I'm going to rank all these Pro models.
00:56From my point of view, the best looking and designed iPhone Pro,
01:00all the way from the worst one.
01:02So we're gonna have a ranking from one to seven,
01:05seven being the worst one,
01:07and one being the best designed iPhone Pro.
01:10So yeah, I'm gonna briefly go through all the Pro models
01:13and briefly cover what they changed,
01:16what was important at that specific model.
01:19And then in the end, we're gonna make the ranking.
01:21And I'm really curious to hear also,
01:23what your favorite Pro iPhone is.
01:25Share it with us in the comments.
01:27Yeah, let's start with the iPhone 11 Pro,
01:30the first Pro model ever introduced by Apple.
01:33It was also the first to introduce a triple camera system
01:37on the back.
01:38A lot of fun was made about that,
01:40that it really looked like this stove top
01:43with the three lenses like that.
01:45It was also the first introducing
01:48this matte frosted glass in the back.
01:50Really pleasing and a subtle touch.
01:54We got these nice rounded edges coming from the iPhone XS.
01:58And this iPhone was made from stainless steel
02:02and came in this gorgeous midnight green finish.
02:05Overall, an amazing first introduction
02:08of the whole Pro lineup.
02:10And then next up, the iPhone 12 Pro coming
02:14in this gorgeous Pacific blue finish.
02:17That was the exclusive color.
02:19And we completely went to the iPhone 4 or 5 era
02:24with the hard flat edges.
02:26So we're familiar with that on the iPhone 4 and E5.
02:29So that was a big change compared to the 11 Pro
02:32as we can see here.
02:33And for some people, this was not the right change.
02:37For some people, it brought really back
02:39these nostalgic times from the iPhone 4 and 5.
02:42Also, we got the introduction of the LiDAR scanners
02:45that was not available on the 11 Pro.
02:47Overall, this iPhone was received really well.
02:51Gorgeous blue finish and talking about blue,
02:54we got the iPhone 13 Pro in Sierra blue.
02:58I think this is a fan favorite.
03:01This color, this baby blue color, some people call it,
03:04was extremely popular and still is.
03:07Again, the triple camera system got even bigger.
03:11We have the LiDAR scanner, same flat edged design.
03:15And it was slightly thicker and heavier,
03:18which is a trend we were seeing overall
03:20in the whole Pro evolution.
03:22It was also the first iPhone to introduce Pro Motion,
03:26which actually now is available on all the models.
03:28And according to some, this was actually peak design iPhone.
03:33I think Johnny Ive still had a lot to say
03:36about the 13 Pro, how it was designed.
03:38And definitely one going inside of our top three.
03:42Next up, more or less a similar design
03:45as the iPhone 13 Pro is the 14 Pro.
03:48Even bigger camera bumps than the 13 Pro.
03:51The same flat edge design coming in this gorgeous,
03:54deep purple finish.
03:56One of my personal favorites.
03:58I actually am a massive fan of purple, the color,
04:01and this color was absolutely gorgeous.
04:03Again, it also got slightly heavier than its predecessor.
04:08And it also introduced the dynamic island on the display
04:11and always on.
04:13This is one of my personal favorites,
04:15the 14 Pro in this deep purple finish.
04:18Next, let's go to a big switch in material
04:22that was introduced on the 15 Pro.
04:24We went from stainless steel to titanium on these models.
04:29This is the natural titanium one.
04:31And one of my favorite changes here is the fact that Apple
04:34went to a more like a squared off flat edge design
04:39compared to the hard edges on the 14, 13, and 12 Pro.
04:44Obviously the change from stainless steel to titanium
04:47was a very big step.
04:49We still have this massive triple camera system.
04:51The bumps are a little bit less noticeable in my opinion
04:55on the 15 Pro compared to the 14 Pro.
04:58We also now got the introduction of the action button here,
05:02which is customizable.
05:03But overall, yeah, the biggest change in design here
05:06is going from stainless steel to titanium.
05:10And titanium also was still available on the 16 Pro.
05:14This is the space black version.
05:16It's not the unique color.
05:18I don't have it on the regular Pro,
05:19but I do have it on the 16 Pro Max, the bigger brother.
05:23And this was the desert titanium finish.
05:26And actually the biggest design change here
05:29was the fact that we got the camera control button
05:33on this side here.
05:34A lot of people were complaining about this
05:36not being that kind of an interesting feature.
05:39I actually use it every single day to just launch the camera
05:42and use visual intelligence, but coming from a 15 Pro,
05:46that's basically the biggest change that there was.
05:49And lastly, the one that really stands out,
05:52not only because of its color,
05:53but also because of the biggest design change
05:56when it comes to the camera is the new 17 Pro.
06:00We can immediately see some massive changes in design here.
06:04First of all, we have this camera plateau.
06:06So where the lighter scanner, the microphone,
06:09and the flash are now moved to the right,
06:12creating this plateau design.
06:14Next, you can also see a difference
06:16for the first time on the back
06:17between the housing material
06:19and really the ceramic shield back.
06:22This is done for multiple reasons.
06:24For example, wireless charging goes better,
06:27probably also with regards to durability.
06:31And as we can see here, Apple went from titanium
06:34to aluminum here for several reasons,
06:37not only to create this new color,
06:39but also for durability reasons and performances.
06:43Aluminum is a better material for heat distribution.
06:47So yeah, Apple went for aluminum there
06:49and we can see the edges are really nice and soft.
06:52Almost reminds me a little bit of going back to the 11 Pro.
06:56So yeah, the 17 Pro really holds nicely in the hand
06:59compared to the more hard edges on the 16 Pro, 15 Pro and older.
07:05And we still have the action button and camera control here.
07:09You can see that the 17 Pro is really the outlier
07:12in the whole Pro lineup.
07:14Now it's time to rank all the models.
07:17So for me on number one, when we look at design,
07:20the one that is in the last place is the iPhone 16 Pro.
07:26Not a big change compared to the iPhone 15 Pro.
07:30The only big design change here was the camera control.
07:34So we're gonna put it on the seventh spot here on the left.
07:37Then number six for me is actually the iPhone 15 Pro.
07:44Again, not a big change in design.
07:46Not for me, the best color natural titanium.
07:50It's bland and pretty minimal.
07:53And maybe the big plus here was to switch from stainless steel to titanium.
07:59So the iPhone 15 Pro, in my opinion, gets the sixth spot here.
08:04Then on to a number five.
08:07For me, that is personally the iPhone 17 Pro.
08:12Unfortunately, the new model looks absolutely interesting with this plateau on the back.
08:18Not personally the biggest fan of this change in design color, in material being used.
08:25Would be great if there's just one beautiful uniform designer on the back.
08:30I am a massive fan though of the flat edges.
08:33And for me, aluminum is okay.
08:35So the iPhone 17 Pro comes in at the fifth spot.
08:40Then ranked fourth for me is the iPhone 12 Pro.
08:45And this might spark some controversy, but I think the iPhone 12 Pro was nice.
08:51I love the blue finish.
08:53I love the idea to go back more to the iPhone 5, iPhone 6 design.
08:58However, for me personally, it was between the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro.
09:04The color, I'm a massive purple fan.
09:06So for that reason, I'm going to put the iPhone 12 Pro on the fourth spot.
09:12And then next up, our top three, I think you can guess already what spot number three will be.
09:17And that is the iPhone 14 Pro.
09:21I'm a massive purple fan.
09:22It was also Steve Jobs' favorite color.
09:24I really love this 14 Pro.
09:26I love the design.
09:28I love the color.
09:28For me, the bigger bumps is not an issue.
09:31Also the change to Dynamic Island was interesting for me.
09:35I actually love it.
09:36Personally, I will put the purple iPhone 14 Pro in the third spot.
09:42And lastly, between our two final picks, who is number one and who is number two?
09:48All right.
09:49So for me, a number one is a Sierra blue iPhone 13 Pro.
09:54I think this is really peak design Apple, peak design iPhone.
09:58I think a lot of you can confirm this as well.
10:01Gorgeous finish.
10:02I actually love the subtle blue design.
10:05Triple camera system is fine.
10:07The edges, they don't matter that much when you have just such a good looking device,
10:12such a beautiful iPhone.
10:14Minimal bumps on the camera.
10:16So this one will go in spot number one.
10:18And obviously the iPhone 11 Pro was the introduction of the Pro lineup.
10:23I loved the rounded edges.
10:24I love the introduction of the triple camera system.
10:27Yeah, it was just a big change and the start of the whole Pro revolution.
10:32So that's why the iPhone 11 Pro gets a second spot.
10:36So yeah, guys, I'd love to hear your thoughts about my ranking.
10:40Last place for the iPhone 16 Pro.
10:43Second to last for the iPhone 15 Pro.
10:46On spot number five, we have the new iPhone 17 Pro.
10:49In fourth, we get the iPhone 12 Pro.
10:52Third spot for the iPhone 14 Pro.
10:54Second spot we have the iPhone 11 Pro.
10:57And on spot number one is the 13 Pro.
11:00I'd love to hear your thoughts about my ranking.
