Last I looked at these cases on Apple.com, there aren’t any images of the bottom. Would be funny if those were defective like these but good enough for modeling.
Got a tip for us?

Some Defective Apple iPhone 12 Cases Shipping Without Speaker Holes

A friend of mine dropped his iPhone at an unlucky angle (while sitting right next to me) and his screen still got smashed in such an Apple case with open bottom. The screen cracked right at the open part. So I guess that’s one reason to go with a completely enclosed case.
Amazing these cost $50. It probably cost a buck to make in China.
Because at least with the iPhone 11pro the phone is so slippery that you can barely hold it on your hands without a case.

Only on an Apple site (where people look for every chance to trash the company as the norm) would it make news that some iPhone cases are shipping defective. Had this been Samsung or any other company making cellular cases there would never be any news on the web about it. SMH.
You do realize not a word you spoke here makes any sense in regards to the article? A mistake from the factory assembly doesn't make the Apple cases poor quality. I do agree that 3rd party products tend to offer more for your money but what you stated doesn't represent the article.
Because not everyone lives in the perfect world you live in. For the rest of the world that lives in reality people drop their phones and the bottom is an easy target to get dropped on.
I hope you're being sarcastic because people just don't get fired for making a mistake on the job, especially for something small like a phone case. Lordy I hope you're always perfect doing the work you do...provided you do work.
Apple official reply: When the customers demand, we listen. Previous silicone cases have large exposed area along the bottom edge, customers have demanded the bottom edge to be covered in order to provide better protection, so we have altered the design this year to cover up the bottom edge including the speaker holes.

I have kids. My iPhone has been down concrete steps. Without a case it would have been in bits. The case is cheaper than the excess
They’re saving 100,000 cars worth of CO2 emissions per year by not including the hole poker in the boxIf that's the case then they forgot to include the hole poker.
You're not holing it correctly. But ~2 of a billion is not really an issue unless it's yours.
