Imagine spending money on the sleeve and then apple moving the time down half an inch on the screen!
Seems kinda lame that couldn’t have ready for first launch if wanted.
Here are my questions - one on point, one not.
1. Will there be a battery case for iPhone 12?
2. I'm still a little confused about cable situation... I do think Apple made a bad decision. If one wants to, can one charge iPhone 12 with existing brick and a USB-A to lightning cable? What's the downside? (As an aside, if companies like Anker or RAVPower made chargers with 4-6 USB-C ports, then I would enthusiastically be all-in).

Imagine all cases they sell will
Yes, I had to watch the ”event” twice to catch it, but when they mentioned the leather case it was as one of the MagSafe accessories.
so it'll be available at the same time as the Mini - works for me.
Torro makes excellent leather cases. I had one for my iPad mini and have one for my current iPad Pro.
The mini me phone is going to end up costing 1K if you get AC+, a leather case and possibly a card holder. Wow. It’s adds up quick.
They are really nice quality especially for the price.
1. Probably. The battery cases have historically not been available at release for some reason, but they have been making them for most iPhone models for the last few years. Might be a new type that takes advantage of MagSafe.
2. Yes you can definitely still use an old USB-A to lightning cable, including with the old 5W brick. The only downside is that it will charge slower, but that's not an issue if you mostly charge overnight.
No!
To my mind any case that doesn't cover the screen is pretty useless. I've never understood why you'd bother.
does it cover the bottom edge yet
a case leaving the bottom uncovered is bad design

This is the general perception people have about the leather industry, but it is just wrong - tanneries are regulated under governments for compliance to all international environmental standards. Tanneries do not use Chrome VI anymore, instead they use Chrome III, which is the same thing found in food supplements. Any toxic material that was once used i.e formaldehyde/arsenic are just simply not used in today’s world! I really hope people’s views of leather start to change, as it is a by product of the meat industry, as long as people are eating meat, there will be leather in the world. 🐄
While not common in current model vehicles, wireless carplay is definitely available to retrofit (most) anything with double-din. Several options available from Pioneer, Kenwood, etc.
If anything when you slaughter the cows for the leather, they can't fart anymore and pollute
I know others complain about Apples prices on the leather cases, but these are extremely well constructed with quality stitching and materials. They develop a nice patina overtime, have a tight quality fit surrounding the phone and have some really nice color options. I have two portfolio Leather cases (In two shades of blue) and held up extremely well over hundreds of hours of use. Highly recommend.
