## Design and Build: Stainless Steel Without the Flagship Price  The iPhone 12 Pro brought the premium stainless steel frame and matte glass back to the Pro lineup for the first time. It launched alongside the iPhone 12 and shared the same flat-edged design, but the polished steel bands and triple-camera system distinguished it as the premium option.
