Magsafe for the iPhone? Seriously? We want Magsafe for Macs! iPhones are so light you'd probably kick it half way across the room before the cable detached...

It's only the Magsafe name that's making a comeback. Same trademarked name for different technology. I assume it's simply wireless charging with magnets to align the coils for optimal energy transfer. Since the trademark AirPower has negative connotations, they just dug through their collection of trademarks.

I'm surprised not to see the Apple TV in this list.
 
My son phone is messed up so I guess I'll get him a 12 Max.
Does Apple let you preorder ATT unlocked phones from them on preorder day? What time is preorder?
I'm just going to buy it out right I guess instead of doing monthly bill payments.
Is there any need to preorder or do you think walking into BestBuy, WalMart, ATT on release day would be just as easy?
Seems like a lot more people want the Mini or the 6.7 Pro Max

Historically, it's been mixed depending on supply and demand. For some releases, the tight supply was quickly depleted in stores so pre-ordering would have been wiser. On at least one occasion, the provider (T-Mobile) offered a better deal on release day than in pre-order (I ended up having to return the pre-order to take advantage of the deal).

If you absolutely need the phone on release day, pre-ordering should guarantee that you'll get it. If you're willing to take a (small) risk, just wait for release day. I think the supply chain will be well stocked for this release.
