Pro looks beautiful. The 12 blue looks like it will get old super fast. I remember modding my iPhone 4 to that colour blue back in the day.... after a couple of months I was really sick of it
Got a tip for us?

The shiny edges really don’t matter since it will have a case on it for most. Durability wise the aluminum will also have a case on it so that really doesn’t matter. But one difference you can tell will be the weight of the phone. The aluminum will be way lighter. I have been waiting for awhile for a OLED aluminum iPhone after using just the x, then xs, and 11 pro models. Stainless steel serves little purpose in a phone, zero actually. The 7000 series aluminum is durable enough for almost anyone outside a hydraulic press. There is a reason Samsung, Oneplus, and every phone manufacturer other than Apple use it. Weight. Apple just ignores this because their Apple.
Aluminum also conducts heat way better. Stainless steel not so much. Hardness is closer than people think. I have a stainless steel Apple Watch but I like the added weight and the sapphire. In a phone not so much.

Apple warns the fine for opening these before October 23, 8:01 a.m. is 200,000 RMB ($30,000).
Looks like nobody cares about that based on the number of unboxing videos on Weibo.

Man the matte sides of the regular 12 is 100x better than the shiny sides of the 12 pro.
Why does the guy who is unboxing the blue iPhone 12 look like he's sitting in his car with a bunch of iPhone 12 at his feet? Did he just get back from a heist?
I only got the graphite so I would have an easy time getting the phone. All the colors look great but I expect Blue will be too subdued like the green last year.
I still want to see some info about the dual watch/phone charger that was shown during the keynote
I didnt expect them to be this shiny and I hate it.
The polished steel was barely acceptable for me on the 11 pro, but because of the curve they were fine. However due to the flat sides, that gloss is accentuated.
I really want the pro phones due to the camera and lidar, but that Shininess is really getting to me. And no I never use covers on my phones and never will.
A store visit is in order [when they actually open......] to make the decision on this one.
It has some of the advantages of a charging mat and some of a port charger. You can quickly use one hand to attach and detach the charger, and you can charge it while using it.
i could not decide so i got the black and blue pro i will see which one looks better in person and return the other lol but the cheaper blue 12 does not look very good at all.
I think MacRumors needs to hire Aaron (Zollotech). He always does very thorough videos that are straight to the point, without all the needless verbal diarrhea and unnecessary graphics.
Yeah the new design looks amazing. Not sure about the SS...looks very shiny but that could be there camera lighting. I love the SS on my 11 Pro, and will upgrade to 6.1” 13 Pro or whatever it is called next year. The gold will look like jewelry. My wife‘s 11 Pro in gold is a really beautiful phone.

His videos are not straight to the point. He's good but he often spends the first 5 min of every video going over useless stuff like looking at build numbers of iOS betas, etc or benchmarks that are equally as useless for beta software. His videos are just way longer than they need to be and repeats himself A LOT.
I don't like those flat edges now the phones are so big and thick.
Also that guy in the second video is going to get BUSTED!

I appreciate everyone posting the unboxing videos that have been made before they should be. That said, have we found a Pacific Blue iPhone yet?
Just patiently waiting. Tag me when you find it. Thanx!

Personally I think the new iPhone 12/12 pro design is ugly compared to the XS / 11 Pro range. They look chunkier too and the metallic sides on the pro... tacky.
How are they thick? they are a lot thinner than last year models.
I was going to order the Mini in blue. But, not after seeing that video.
