Everyone with $1,500 iPhone 12 Pro Maxes will have THE BEST mobile/smartphone experience while sitting on their couches during pandemic lockdown this winter!

Not me. I’ve been working since day 1 of the pandemic and I work outside of my house, but of course I mask up and am strict about social distancing, so I will get the pleasure of using my phone outside the house.
 
November wouldn't be so bad if it's like the X and is early. Big difference in release early Nov vs into holiday season.

I hope the 12 Pro Max release around the same time as the X. Because it was announced in September 2017, waiting for the X was so hard. I got one on preorder day and ran to the UPS CC as soon as they opened. This year will be a easier wait since we’re already in October and my jailbroken XS Max is keeping me busy.
 
The 12 mini is what I’m waiting for to upgrade my SE1 to. I already have the iPad Pro 2020 and appreciate the edge-to-edge screen. No way I am getting the SE2 with the home button.
 
2021 will be the year of android manufacturers launching mini phones products too.

I don’t mind the speed of A13, it’s still very fast. I wish Apple focus on the battery life for now. The 11 pro series have awesome battery. Hope it’ll stay the same or even more power.

I got an email today from Castify prompting their new USPS iPhone accessories. I was ready to order immediately and had to remember I’m waiting for the 12 Pro Max, so hopefully they release for the new iPhones.
 
With most TV's including the Apple TV app now, why do you even need a Apple TV box anymore?
The Apple TV app ... is an app.

The Apple TV (box) is a media console with an ecosystem managed by Apple.

The Apple TV app is one of many apps on the Apple TV (box).

They are obviously not the same thing.
 
Phil Schiller pls be the guy on stage to introduce the new iphones🙏
Apple events will never be the same without you😪
 
Is there any chance Touch ID makes it into the new iPhones like they did with the new iPad Air? With all of this mask wearing it drives me nuts to have to use a passcode to pay and unlock my phone.

I hope so. 2 biometric features are more useful in this pandemic time.
 
Handily, there's a watch to pay with!;)
You know what I think you are right and I forget I can pay with my watch! Much much easier. that still doesn't solve the problem of unlocking it though. Would be nice if they would unlock if it was paired with watch like my MacBook Pro does.
 
Meh. Apple is roughly $24 off its 52-week high; if it were to get back there (not unreasonable at all) you'd hardly have to buy 50 shares to make enough money for a phone.

The math is not that hard... the real problem is timing. Waiting for it to get back to $137 would be painful, and you'd see a lot of iPhone 12s in the wild before you might be able to buy one with stock profits. Not to mention that selling 50 shares of AAPL just to recoup the money for a phone would be a silly, short-sighted move. Buy Apple for keeps.

50 shares at the current price of $113 = $5,650.

A reminder of your original post:


That is correct. Save all that money you were going to spend on new products, and buy Apple stock the day after the event. Then sell that stock later when after the stock has bounced back, and get all of those products for free using the profit you made. You heard it here first.

You said take the money you were going to spend "on new products". Were you planning to buy $5,000 in products? Then you'd need $5,000 in profit to buy said products? So yeah, based on your original statement, the math doesn't come even close to working out. While investing the cost of the iPhone and (hopefully) increasing your holdings could be a wise move...it most certainly would not pay for a new device with the increase anytime soon.

I don’t have an “original post.”

I’ve never had the pleasure, but I can see how it would be easy to spend $5,000+ in an Apple Store.

Carry on.
 
We already know the mac event is on 10 of November
Next week we will have the iphones, homepod mini apple tv, game controller and maybe the airtags
 
There’s something a bit wrong here with this plan...unless you are you assuming the stock will double for the rebound?
No, you buy after the stock drops from the aftereffects of overhype (happens every single event) and then you sell when it bounces back after everyone realizes Apple is going to make a killing off the new products. (happens every single time).
 
Was really hoping “Speed” was referring to 120Hz but that seems to be off table for iPhone 12. That means I’ll hold on to XS Max until iPhone 13 pro.
