GoPro Hero 12 is a HACKED Hero 11 - GoPro Have Done This Before With The Hero 5 & Hero 2018 - SNEAKY
GoPro Hero 11 vs GoPro Hero 12 should be a complete no brainer. However I and some others are of the belief that that Hero 12 is basically a hacked Hero 11 with a software and firmware update that gives the 12 further optimisations of the Hero 11 hardware.

Software optimisation and especially firmware optimisation, could easily be used for such things as better power management, which would have the net result of extending battery life and therefore record times. Similar optimisations to other aspects of the Heroes computing hardware could also result in minor tweaked updates to the stabilisation.
This optimisation of software and especially hardware via firmware, is something we see all the time in other computing devices. So there is no real reason why GoPro couldn’t do this with the Hero series.
What also drives my suspicions is that GoPro already have form for deliberately crippling, nobbling and limiting of their Hero cameras’ functionality. When the Hero 5 was released GoPro also had another camera at the time, the Hero 2018. The Hero 2018 was essentially sold as a lower tier Hero to compliment the Hero 5 at a cheaper price point, with the Hero 2018 having less features and options.
It was soon found out that the Hero 2018 was a hardware limited version of the Hero 5. Basically, the Hero 2018 had all the electronic hardware of the Hero 5 but had a firmware that limited its functions. A short time after the release of these cameras someone had hacked and cracked the firmware of the Hero 5 so that it would install onto a Hero 2018, giving the Hero 2018 the functionality of the Hero 5. Essentially allowing people buy the cheaper Hero 2018 and turn it into a Hero 5. This “hacked“ firmware/software may even have been a very costly accidental leak from GoPro themselves.
Below are some links to articles and videos about this hack that you may find interesting. However my point here is this. GoPro clearly have form for such skullduggery, so is it a stretch for me to suggest that this is what they’ve done between the Hero 11 and Hero 12. As in, limited the functionality of the firmware and software updates for the Hero 11 that would give it the necessary optimisations to allow it the functions we are seeing on the Hero 12. Then just apply these firmware and software updates for optimisation to the same 11 hardware and call it a new “updated“ Hero action camera, as in, the Hero 12.
Even if this is the case, it’s unlikely that we will see any hacked firmware or software from the Hero 12 for the Hero 11. These days there are more robust checks in place at the hardware and firmware level, even something akin to a BIOS, that would likely stop this from happening.
Anyway, checkout these links, it really is quite interesting:
