iPhone 12 Demo mini and Max available in Apple Stores on Oct 23rd?

[Luba]

Wondering if we can inspect mini and Max samples in Apple Stores on Oct 23rd even though we can only pre-order them starting Nov 6th?

It is certainly possible depending on the store.

Feel free to correct me but I don’t think Apple ever displays a product prior to its actual release date.

Will not happen. They won't be on display in store until Nov 13.

I doubt any phones are going to be out for people to touch up during a pandemic

current models have been up until now (at least they have been in my stores) ..... they clean them after

 

[jgo78]

why would anyone want to touch something that so many others have touched during a pandemic? yea u can sanitize after etc. but why take any risk if you really dont have to.

not to mention, the virus will be circulating in the air with so many people. good luck!

Nope, phones are never on display in stores until the day the model launches.

Not a chance. Apple doesn’t believe you’re entitled to preview your $1500 purchase and make an informed decision before biting the bullet

Would be nice. Might cut down on 12 and 12P returns

Huh? The phones will be available to demo in every store when they are released, just like they always have been.

No one forces you to preorder.. it’s purely a option.
