Really liking how the mini looks here. I'm finding the 12 too cumbersome. Having come from the 11 Pro the difference on paper was minimal but the squared sides make it feel that ever so slightly too big for me. I'll be returning the 12 tomorrow and ordering the mini on the 6th. I was certain the 12 would be the perfect size.
Feels ever so slightly too big for me, but I’m blown away by the camera. I came from an XS and that was the perfect size for me so think the mini would be small. But definitely get what you mean. Considering going case less as without the Apple silicone case it feels perfect.

Hello has anyone who has ordered an IPhone 12pro directly from Apple received it before the suggested delivery date. My delivery date is Nov 16 and I am just wondering if the orders are being delivered early and how many ch the queue is moving up.
 
So that’s 2 great Fridays from Apple in a row now.
Apple One is apparently launching tomorrow.
That premier bundle is exactly what I need, will save me money and consolidate all my payments into one 😂

That case colour looks awesome.

I was just looking at that. Apple One looks good except I don't want to be responsible for all purchases my wife and my parents make on the app store on their phones. What they choose to spend is up to them, they should be able to spend their own money but still share a service like Apple One.

I already have the Mrs, my old SE that my 6 year old uses as an iPod touch and my mother on a family share due to Apple Music, News+ and iCloud savings anyway. They all know that if they want to make a purchase then they need to transfer the money to my personal account to recover my balance, seems to work well for us.

I guess that's the way to do it. Just seems like a hassle. Surely there should be an easier way to do things?

I'm hoping that when Apple One launches they'll have found a better solution. If not I'll think about it.

Think I’ll hold out until my free Apple TV ends at the end of Feb before signing up. No fitness yet and also did the 3 months of free arcade too so nothing compelling to sign up tomorrow for

I came from an 11 Pro myself and luckily find the 12 Pro’s size just right

We just got the 3 month TV+ extension too and as I’m already an arcade subscriber I don’t get the free trial. That sneaky Sasquatch is too good to stop paying the the fiver, there’s other stuff I play too but the whole family have sunk hours into that game over lockdown.

Interesting comments a few pages back about Hermes. I’ve seen a couple of instances of other couriers misrouting iPhone deliveries but it seems like they turn up after a day or two.

I’m now aware of five different instances of Hermes failing to deliver (and losing) five different iPhone deliveries. Makes you wonder what on earth is going on!

I’ll definitely be getting things from elsewhere if I see something I order is being delivered by Hermes.
 
I’ve always had my phones case less, they feel so nice!! Only use a case on the odd occasion, as generally am very careful with my devices, and always get AppleCare+, just to be on the safe side...
Think I’m going to do the same. Especially as I’m working from home more. I’ll keep the Apple silicone case for hiking etc and use it case less. I always went case less until the slippery iPhone 6 came. Now to figure out how to get a sena sleeve in the UK!

Sena sleeves were my protection of choice. Do you remember apple selling them in store?

Ughhh iPhone 6... I avoided that because of the lack of RAM and later found out about bendgate... 6s much better a year later

This model doesn’t appear to be available for the iPhone 12 on Amazon. Is it available anywhere in the UK?
I don't think so. I ordered it direct from Caudabe in the USA over 2 weeks ago. It's being delivered today! It's for the 12 Pro Max.

Daily Music Magpie price lock in done.
Thinks it’s time to stop. That gives me until 20th to return.
 
I ended up having to return my iphone 12 black as signal kept dropping and displaying no sim, apple advised was a fault and issued a refund.

ended up getting the 12 pro in silver instead on monthly payments. It looks great but only thing concerning me is the silver band does anyone know the best case type to stop it from getting scratches/abrasions all around it ? My sister had a silver XS MAX and hers looked really bad after a while in a case.
Forgot all about this issue till now and not sure whether to return for a different colour ?

any help would be appreciated thanks

I think they will all be prone to this.
My Xs max is like you have said when taking the case off. Little bits of grit get in and once there start to run against the band and Mark the frame.
