Isnt he in the return window? Why not return the 12 Pro and buy a 13 Pro?
I'll suggest that to him but he also had his old phone break so he would probably have to wait to be able to walk in and swap.
 
Just got off the phone with a guy who paid full price for an iPhone 12 Pro yesterday. SHAME
I get that most people don't really follow tech the way that most of us do, but Apple has announced new iPhones every single September for like 10 years now, yet there's always people who do this.

I’ll keep my iPhone XR at least another year. It does everything I need from a smartphone, and then some.

As usual I didn’t see any new innovation, just incremental and lackluster upgrades. Even their Hollywood inspired BS presentation can’t disguise that. If you want a good camera, spend the $1,100 on a Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc. camera rather than an iPhone with a toy camera inside.
 
Iv'e been saving money since the past 3 years and well finally I will be able to upgrade my phone, I am going to get an iPhone 13 mini, thats the perfect phone for me, I have an iPhone 7 at the moment.

No notch would have been better but at least it is smaller this year.

Also looking forward to buy the Apple Watch, I always wanted one, I even saved money for that too.

But I cannot put that $1100 camera in my pocket. And did you include the price of lenses?
 
Actual comparison for unlocked, base storage models (launch vs. current):
  • iPhone 11 (Launch: $699, Current: $499)
  • iPhone 11 Pro (Launch: $999 - discontinued)
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max (Launch: $1,099 - discontinued)
  • iPhone 12 Mini (Launch: $729, Current: $629)*
  • iPhone 12 (Launch: $829, Current: $729)*
  • iPhone 12 Pro (Launch: $999 - discontinued)
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max (Launch: $1,099 - discontinued)
  • iPhone 13 Mini (Launch: $729)*
  • iPhone 13 (Launch: $829)*
  • iPhone 13 Pro (Launch: $999)
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max (Launch: $1,099)
*$30 "discount" available from launch and current prices if activated with carrier at purchase (which may result in upgrade fees of up to $35 per device & device locking depending on carrier and payment plan selected).

Also note that base storage increased to 128gb on base iPhone 13 (non-pro models).

Bought the 12 Pro couple months back for around $650, will it still hold its value despite being discontinued?
 
Interesting that they introduced Find Me for the stupid leather wallet that was supposed to be so secure. Of course, this has been introduced because "only very few users" are experiencing this. Same line used for all their repair programs.
