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.

Why would I ever buy a Pro model? (Unless I want a giant phone)

Still selling iPhone 11 is almost as bad as selling Apple Watch Series 3.

Which is almost as bad as still selling the ATV HD for $150.

The iPhone 11 has no issue running the current version of iOS. The Series 3 watch on the other hand is a different story in regards to watchOS.

Nothing compelling for me to upgrade my 12 pro.

I think it’s already well known that every new iPhone doesn’t target the previous gen users, but targets those using 2, 3, or even older generation iPhones. Those using an iPhone X or 7 will see a huge upgrade.

 

[dukebound85]

There is.

except for the pro versions.

why? who knows.

Telephoto lens, promotion, largest and best battery life (Pro Max). For some people, those are hard requirements.

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.

Does Apple usually discontinue the previous Pro models after announcing new models every year?

The non Pro model is larger...unless you're comparing a Pro Max, then if you want a smaller one get a 13 Pro non max

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.

Yes. They discontinue the Xs, 11 Pro, and 12 Pro after a year.

But I cannot put that $1100 camera in my pocket. And did you include the price of lenses?

Pleasantly surprised they kept iPhone 12 and 12 mini around. 👍

 

[winxmac]

I prefer the camera layout of iPhone 12/12 mini so it's a good thing they are still offered...

 

[CrazyForCashews]

RIP Pacific Blue

Shame really because it's quite the beauty.

 

[nCode]

Bought the 12 Pro couple months back for around $650, will it still hold its value despite being discontinued?

 

[ian87w]

The 13 Pro and regular 13 are the same size. Same with the 12 Pro and regular 12.

 

[locrumo]

This is old tech. Let's talk about iphone 14.

 

[ian87w]

Pleasantly surprised they kept iPhone 12 and 12 mini around. 👍

But you wouldn’t want to get them anyway unless you are fine with 64GB. At the same storage size, the iPhone 13 is only $50 more.

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.

It will. Plus, other retailers will still be selling their current inventory of the 12 Pro.

Oh, sorry my bad. I don't have a 12. I'm still on an 11Pro and the 11 was bigger.
