iPhone 12 Pro Pre-Orders Already Selling Out With Delivery Times Pushing Into November

What logical reason is there that demand is so high for this iteration? I mean everything they updated gets updated yearly, the chip, the screen..etc.

TBH I'm still rockin my iPhone 8. But as a matter of fact the camera quality annoys me - especially knowing what I could have after the presentation.

I was so hoping for TouchID in the Power-Switch. I really don't like FaceID. That's why I bought the 8 and not the X at that time. Well...here comes the realization that FaceID is here to stay.

So Pro in Pacific Blue it is - would have liked a white finish as I'm really old-school Apple and got hooked with the Dual-USB iBook (those where the days). But the Blue...to nice to pass.

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.

Sorry buddy, Pacific Blue is only for those on the West Coast. You have to wait for the Atlantic blue to come out.

My wife and I ordered a gold iPhone 12 Pro 256GB and a graphite Pro 256GB respectively. Her gold order went through almost immediately with a projected delivery date of 10/23 as expected. My graphite order took almost 30 minutes to go through which pushed the projected delivery date to 10/30. We live on the West Coast and it was worth getting up at 5:00 am to beat the rush.

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 think it means the case will attach/be held in place with magnets instead of squeezing it around the phone? Thats my best guess...

You do know that there is no such thing as a transparent metal or magnet right?

If you don't want a case that attaches magnetically, then yes there are plenty of clear cases. But until the year 2310 when transparent metals and magnets may be widely available you'll need to settle for the "design."

You have jokes. :)

I get it, I don't get why they had to accentuate the magnets with white. Why not just leave it clear and see the magnets. Unless they aren't silver. Either way, it's kind of growing on me.

Only Apple can do this. Even in the middle of a global pandemic, demand for iPhone remains off the charts.

Have you seen the PS5 and XBOX pre orders? They are selling out in mins. This pandemic is helping sales in many industries cars, tech, home appliances, motorpsorts, etc. Go out and look in-stores they have no inventory, and backorder wait times are insane. Motorcycle sales were up 56% in April 2020 compared to April 2019. The only places sales are down is if you listen to CNN, CA, or NY.

Well for me I’m probably waiting November anyway so whatever lol.

Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these amazing phones, though!

Go Blue or go home!!
 
If the value is there, and people have the money, why not? Apple still makes the best cellphones for most people.

I have two pros ordered in Pacific Blue. I ordered the first one and clicked standard shipping, but was disappointed in the delivery date of 11/3-11/6. Then ordered a 2nd one with $8.00 express shipping which they say will be delivered 10/30-11/4. Sigh. I did not know it would have been faster if I clicked "pick up at store" Store is 45 minutes away but I would have done that. I'll see which one actually gets here first and cancel the other order I suppose. I do not need two of them. I would have gone to the store if only for seeing the other colors, as I also wanted to see the gold one.

Call Apple and see if you can change it to pickup (if still available).

Hey, I thought you were going back to bed! 😛

In for 12 Pro, 256 PB to be delivered 10/23. Now to find the right case....

My "dilemma" as well. I have a Black Nomad Leather Folio for my iPhone 11 Pro and love it because it protects the front of the phone and serves as a wallet for me and thus don't have a traditional wallet nor keys; I don't have keys for my car. I love the MagSafe capabilities and want to get a clear MagSafe cover and Leather MagSafe Card Holder along with the MagSafe Charger. The problem is there's no front cover/screen protection and I have to take the wallet off to charge via MagSafe. If I go with the new Nomad Folio for the iPhone 12 Pro, I get what I have now with those benefits but it's not MagSafe compatible...

And my OCD is kicking in because I've ordered my iPhone 12 Pro and feel like I have to have a case solution (and received/delivered) prior to my phone being delivered next Friday-ish. :)
