Receives 12 Pro Max > unboxes > switches 5G off.
Yes, me too. Switching around 5g, LTE, 4g most take so much time in the background I can’t get website loading when this happens. So I disabled 5g for now. I wonder when I can turn it back on?
 
This only references the 12 Pro. Is the 12 Pro Max also in that number? Because then they should take all of the Galaxy devices and bundle them into a single line. May be a little misleading.
Nope because these numbers start before the pro Max even launched.
I run my iPhone 12 on the T-Mobile US network. I've seen download speeds on the low bands as high as 350 mbps on 5G. My old iPhone X was lucky to get 90 mbps download speeds on LTE.
Wow, nice. Maybe I shoulda gone with t mobile when I switched carriers. Xfinity mobile has been less than impressive.
 
I wish I could give my iPhone MAX back.
Not impressed with it at all. The audio cuts in and out during phone calls. same problem with iPhone 8 Plus
battery drains too fast

really disappointed in APPLE quality over the last few years
I love my Note 20 and my samsung S20 Ultra better than any apple phone.

My Next Mac will be a Hackintosh with an 18 Core i9 EXTREME! I build myself.

All this talk about 5G vs 4G. Didn’t 4G get off to a slow start too?
I was hoping that we'd have VoLTE around 2015 because the carriers had deployed LTE Advanced. I'm still waiting for LTE to be most everywhere.

I was getting 100 Mbps download in 2017 with Sprint but they hadn't even switched to LTE Advanced yet.

Apple's simpler, but premium phone seems to do the best every time. Wasn't the 10XR the best seller of that time?
 
5G is definitely faster than LTE in some spots here in Oklahoma but it’s not what it was hyped up to be. I’m on AT&T and on the Northside of OKC I got “okay” speeds of around 20-25 mbps on 5G but when I went to Shawnee (~ 45 mi East of OKC) to see my parents it went up to 160.

None of these are anywhere close to the 500-2000 mbps we were promised. But it’s more than usable I guess.

Apple has never made any speed promises to users of the 5G phones.

A lot of people aren’t happy with their 5G speed, even though anything above 25Mbps is enough to stream HD video.

I am on T-mobile as well and I have my phone set to 5G ON. For my usual travel areas, I get 75 - 150Mbps.
 
The way I look at it - there were only a few 5G phones available before and the iPhone 12 models, all 4 of them, ONLY come with 5G - so what else was to expect? Meaningless statistic
 
Sure yeah, but I never said Apple did. More like the carriers that said these things and I guess unless you’re in range of mmWave tower you’re not gonna see those amazing speeds.
The carriers speak of, and show top speed numbers and then many people assume that those high speeds are available everywhere, even though their current LTE speeds are not consistent. I don’t see that as anything different than what has been occurring all along. People shouldn’t make assumptions.
 
I can’t take this seriously without discussion of the mini. Best phone of the naughts.

Can’t take your comment seriously as the mini hasn’t even been launched in October.
Besides, the battery is way too small.
Can’t take that graph seriously since all those twos are different length bars, and so are the threes, and neither is proportional to the four, the eight, or the sixteen.

Do people really buy Samsung phones in the United States?
 
If AAPL had priced the 12 @ $699 USD (& the 12 mini @ $599 USD):

1.) 12 goes up by 50%, to 24% market share !

2.) 12 Pro goes up by ~2%, to ~10% market share (due to increased interest in the iPhone 12 family, strictly because of the more-attractive Pricing of the 6.1" iPhone 12; typically called Foot Traffic, but in CY2020, I'll call it On Line Interest).

And Make NO Mistake, Tim Cook knows he OVER-priced the 12 !

The Sales delta between the two models should be in the ~2.5x-3x range !

That's where AAPL maximizes sales.

That's simply based-upon past History, going back 5+ years.

Also, NOT Rocket Science, Common Sense says ONLY so many will ante-up for a $1K USD OR more iPhone !

BTW, if Apple has Priced the iPhone 12 @ $649 USD, they very-likely would have gotten the (desired) 3x Sales delta !

It is my personal opinion that they Priced it the way they did, so that it would Force the Carriers to discount the (two) lower-end (i.e., NON-Pro) models.
