Sneaky that it's $30 extra for the iPhone 12 unless you choose Verizon as your carrier...

Quite a price bump for the basic iPhone 12 (going from $649 for the 11 to $799 for the non mini 12). Guessing Qualcomm got some of that with their 5G chip.

This seems kinda weird, but ok. Let's wait a bit more

Absolutely ridiculous that they’re shipping supposedly “pro” devices with a freaking Lightning port. Shameful.

I’m in for a 12 pro and 12 for my daughter.

cam res?

Well atleast this will spread out my wallet blow for buying a 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.

 

[dmk1974]

$30 more on T-Mobile or Unlocked? WTF?

 

[bassrocker204]

Seems like they prioritized 12 and 12 Pro manufacturing and it spreads out release so they aren't absolutely hammered in one day

I just saw this and I'm dumbfounded.
Is it a temporary discount or for real??

No Xbox X-Cloud support so who cares? Samsung looking good this year.....

 

[americanguy]

Im going for 12 Pro Max, but November dates are horrible, why Apple so long for Pro Max?

The OLED screen on the iPhone 12 is likely a factor, as well.

Yes I wish they would go to USB-C, but I am guessing the Lightning infrastructure is just too entrenched.

What????

Xbox? Who the hell plays on Xbox over PlayStation anyway? lmao

I don’t. I’m more interested in the Max’s large camera sensor. You can’t change physics and I use my camera way more than I game.

An eye watering $1000 CDN for an iPhone 12 mini. Gulp.

I am guessing panel production allocation since the 6.1" models are shipping together. The iPhone 12 will probably be the most-popular model so production focus will be on it's 6.1" display and since the iPhone 12 Pro uses the same one, it benefits.

You think Apple will give you OLED screen for LED price?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

$879 for 128gb iPhone 12 vs $999 for 12 pro? I'll just go 12 pro at that point.

People who don't play games on their phone.

It comes with a "lightening port".

 

[d5aqoëp]

Tbh the Pro models are just photography oriented. Nothing worth for non photographer like me. Might pick up plain 12. But still deciding whether to wait and get the next year’s model with 120hz smoothness.
