This happens almost every single time, so we can probably assume it is just a part of Apple’s launch show to build up the hype. At least nowadays not so many people are willing to camp/queue by the Apple Stores the day before the launch, so I guess there is some progress. 😋
 
I like Otter cases for safety, have dropped phones before. What does a magsafe case mean? Doesn't this new phone have magsafe magnet in it? Is it needed on the case? it's not clear to me
I don’t think the case itself has magnets but it is Mag safe compatible meaning that the actual charger will charge your phone through the case

edit: the disagreements are racking up. someone corrected me already when I asked to clarify if you scroll further into the thread.

Glad I live on the east coast and didn't have to get up early to preorder. Woke up at 7:45am, placed my order when the store went live at 8:02am and secured my 128GB 12 Pro in Pacific Blue. I was going to wait for the Pro Max but with the flat sides I don't think it'll be comfortable in the hand and I already love the 6.1" screen size on my 11.
 
Im super annoyed with my experience in the UK. Was sent two loan agreements for one phone and now the phone order is on hold and Apple cannot see the order on my account to provide me with any help.

I used to like Otter way back in the day. But as phones got tougher, I went thinner. But they do make a great case. Still have a friend who will use nothing else.

I’ve had Apple Leather on my XSMax. But how the 12 Pacific Blue looks, I don’t want to hide it. Probably going to go for a clear case.

As for “MagSafe”, I don’t know. It’s still not super clear to me yet. I just don’t like Apple’s MagSafe clear case, with that big white circle and line. Looks cheap to me.

I still don't trust a phone avoiding breaking on dropping. I have just bought a Deep Navy apple silicone to hopefully match the PB 12 Pro.

I don't like the apple clear case either.

Ugh, no thanks. You know good and well Apple will just start the Mini at $999 and raise prices down the line. 😒

I can't see Apple using the number 13. There will be a new name.

This is false. The MagSafe cases have magnets in them, which attach to the magnets in the phone.

Why would a case need to attach via magnet? It's usually pretty secure and tight.
 
Got my Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro with 512GB for 10/23 delivery.


i went back to 256GB this year. i got 512GB last year and have been surprised to see that I’m averaging 150GB of actual use and I don’t even have the automagic management of letting go of unused apps on and looking at my apps now I could easily save another 50GB with a tad bit of active management. I understand the feeling of never wanting to run out though!

Waking up before noon is early for me 😂 but I have a dentist appointment at 10:30 and almost preordered but I’m going to wait because I want to compare the sizes in person because the mini is tempting. I don’t watch video on phone and like one handed use.
 
I actually practiced on the website and phone app for when the 12 mini can be pre-ordered, up until the "pay" button so that I'm among the quick ones when the mini drops. Hang in there, still perfectly working 2016 iPhone SE.
