Just watched a few unboxing vids of the blue iPhone 12 - it looks nothing like the pics on Apple’s website?!

The actual phone looks like a navy blue - the pics on the site (and even in the Apple Store app) make it look VERY similar in colour to the 12 Pro.

I really don’t know if I like that colour now....!!! FEEEEEEEEECK!
I've held off watching any videos of the blue 12 as I want the first time i see its actual colour to be in the store. I guess we can't say upon collection actually I want black for example?
It’s too dark IMO I feel the same when looking at the black one as well but I think that’s just because we’re used to some kind of space grey.
The colours on the website look much better, real life gold looks tacky, pacific blue looks underwhelming and all pro models are fingerprint magnets on the stainless steel side
Oh nooooooooooo!

...actually, I think I’m just gonna wait until I physically have the phone in my hands! The colours seem to vary a HELL of a lot! In this vid, it actually looks really nice :

(first few minutes of video).

Have you guys noticed the CE mark has been moved to the side of the devices this year?

Good move I think, now it’s hidden by the case
 
Apologies if this has already been covered but I can't go through 200 pages!

I ordered immediately the store opened last Friday (received confirmation email at 13.05).

When I ordered it said delivery 23rd but in my orders it is still showing as "processing" with delivery scheduled for 28 October. Anyone else seeing similar or know if the delivery date is likely to change?

Exact same thing happened to me. Spent a few extra minutes looking for the stupid case (which arrived today) Order confirmation came through at 13:11 and I have a delivery date of 27-28 of Oct. Based in Ireland so wondering if it could come on the Friday, would be nice :)

The leather case colours are:
- California poppy
- Product Red
- Baltic Blue
- Saddle Brown
- Black

So the same colour as the wallets with the edition of product red.
The big question is will I be able to limit myself to either California poppy or saddle brown? Will I end up buying both and trying to hide the fact I have 2 from the wife?
 
She might notice when the colour keeps changing unless you tell her it’s apples new colour change technology 😂
Most of the time when I’m home the iPhone stays in my pocket and I use my iPad, so I may just get away with it.
I’m going to have to grab the California poppy watch strap though, someone posted a pic of it on a space grey yesterday and it looks amazing!

What’s everyone doing to protect their iPhone 12 screens?

Belkin‘s tempered glass from Apple are an extortionate £24.95 (which I am loathe to pay!) - similar ones on Amazon can be had for under £10!

There’s a few of us that bought the ESR 3 pack on Amazon.
Mine turned up today and look decent, won’t know for sure how well it looks on the iPhone until Friday though.

Nice one, looks like it will be Saddle Brown leather again for me this year.

For those also considering it, the Saddle Brown colour starts life out the Apple box as a lighter brown. After time, the patina on the leather develops into a dark and luxurious brown. That colour really doesn't get much better than that for a leather case!

Just realised my delivery date shipped to 28th... could swear it was 23rd when I ordered 😩
 
Give it a few weeks and the “homagé” cases and accessories will be available.
ive not bought a genuine silicone case or watch strap for years as they are identical and at a fraction of the cost.
Got a braided solo loop band delivered yesterday for £8, put next to an original the only tell is the three bits that hold the watch in either end are a different colour, and not visible when fitted.
mark my words, there will identical magsafe silicone cases with all the markings for around a fiver soon. Why you would pay £49 would just be down to sheer impatience.
in the interim I’ve bought a £2 silicone case from ebay until the HK specials flood the market...

Ahh, quality is never the same IMO.

Privacy screen for me. £13 and has proved excellent on my X for the past few years.
