5G! Guys, did you hear about 5G? OMG 5G! Did I mention 5G?
Why is there what looks like an Apple Pencil connector on one side?
Interesting note, both iPhone 12 models (non-Pro) are $729 and $829, its only $699 and $799 if you activate it with AT&T and Verizon...
Yes the iPhone 4 edge design was my favorite. Glad to see it's back.
Phew. I didn't see OLED display and thought they removed them and made it a Pro feature.
I’m actually really impressed with this release for the first time in a long time! The most egalitarian generation since they split with the iPhone 8/X - more than ever there’s not really a huge amount you’re giving up by not going with the pro!
So what's your point? We should cease all entertainment?
460ppi... well, no reason to buy a Pro anymore.
18% annually sure adds up, doesn’t it? You aren’t the target upgrader if you have an iPhone 11.
Are they just banking on 5g for people to upgrade? Nothing else is much of an upgrade.
? This is a huge upgrade over the 11, infact its an upgrade over the 11 Pro in a lot of ways, and at $200 less. The Pro's maybe are a little lacklustre this year by comparison, but the entry storage bump to 128GB improves value there too.
And thankfully we can still log into a forum about a product and complain about how others may use it, all while complaining about our overworked eyes too! Apple doesn’t keep sales tax they collect, btw....
This is pretty crappy marketing from Apple. The 12 is actually $829. The $799 price point is only for AT&T and Verizon because of a $30 carrier special offer.
This indeed. I know its not new but I really noticed (and was rolling my eyes) at how for every 3rd bit of information they roll out someone else to say their 5 lines. Stick with like 1 to 3 people hosting an event instead of filling a large chunk of time with nifty transitions from one speaker to the next..
Other than that, iPhone 12 Mini looks very cool but still upgrading my 6S to the 12 Pro though!
This is weird, though is it something to do with any extra CDMA stuff some US carriers require? (I don't actually know which US carriers are GSM and which are CDMA, but as most of the world uses GSM, making a new CDMA 5G iPhone just for a couple of US carriers might explain the extra cost?)
It’s not extra cost. It’s Apple allowing AT&T and Verizon to do a $30 “special offer” and then showing that $30 reduction as the starting price of the phone. It’s dishonest because it only applies to those carriers.
Well this decides it. Trading in my 11 on a blue iPhone 12 and will eye the 13 pro next year when the 120hz screens are official.
