I have a quick question. Has anyone restored from a back up when they set up their new iPhone 12's and when you go to safari and your favorites page all the website icons are greyed out and not colored in? I just spoke with an Apple support rep and he has the 12 and says his are greyed out too. I am wondering now if this is a software bug. Anyone else having this issue?

I don’t have the issue, but several of my contacts in cloud, didn’t carry over to the new phone. I had to go through my XS Max and add them to my 12 Pro Max.
 
Ordered a 256GB PB 12 Pro from Verizon on 11/3, still waiting for Verizon to ship it... sigh, the wait is killing me! This phone looks gorgeous in pictures posted here!
 
For those who got a 5G SIM card, did you go in person to ask for one or did you have it mailed to you? I’ll be near a Verizon store today and want to get a new SIM card since I now have 5G in my area.

All of my iPhone 12 pre-orders came with a 5G SIM card pre-installed. Verizon recommended I go into a Verizon corporate store to get a replacement SIM on Saturday.

If you need a new Verizon SIM card you can:
  • Order Online.
    • Have the SIM card mailed to you.
    • Pre-order the SIM card and pick it up at a Verizon Retail store or Authorized Retailer. Your pick up choices will only include locations where SIM card pick up is available.
  • Go to a Verizon Retail store and get the SIM card that day.*
  • Go to select Authorized Retailers and get the SIM card within 3 days.*
*Keep in mind that for all in-store pickups, the Account Owner or Account Manager has to be there and show a valid, government-issued photo ID.
 
I got tired of waiting on the 12 Pro and decided to cancel my pre-order. I switched to the 12 Pro Max and splurged on the 256 gig this time in order to get it soon. My new delivery date is 11/27. My 12 Pro was 11/18 but waiting allowed me too much time to change my mind about the Max. Hopefully this new order ships soon!

Received the shipment notification early this morning! It'll be here on Friday. I'm so glad I cancelled that 12 Pro pre-order now.
 
Happy to update that my verizon purchase was successful and no problems in my order and delivery 📦 experience. Due to corona virus, I didnt want to sign in front of fedex personnel so I printed the sign release form and taped it on my front door. As soon as she was leaving 10 ft away I opened the door and said thank you. Here is a link of my unboxing video and accessories
. Did u guys purchased the magsafe charger? I felt like its not giving enough charging on my phone compared to charging it through the cable. Love the pics posted here!!! Enjoying my phone so far!!! Not to big on my lil girly hands 😉

I went in person a few hours ago and had it switched out.

Different order date, but same shipping date. Several available in stores near me, but cant go to the store for Business account unfortunately.

Yep. Mines a business order which will be overnighted but communication on business accounts is pretty bad.

I agree!! Business order doesn't appear in online account and is not available on Verizon's "check order status" page either. I only know my business order is supposed to ship 11/27. I called business sales and they checked to see if any phones I needed were available at local store. None were and rep said nothing about I cant pick up at local store. So guess I had a business rep who didn't know.

Yep. Mine is still stuck in pending. I'm half expecting FedEx to show up here tomorrow as Verizons systems are not accurate.

Just did a chat inquiring about my order and they now have a ship date of December 2...2 more weeks. Apparently they still can’t fulfill the backorders for Pac blue. Silver is available nearby tho...wonder if I can get that instead

Edit: silver gone, lol. Welp, I’ll just forget about it and it’ll come when it comes.

This is crazy that many people still haven’t received a device and ordered on preorder day. It almost makes me wonder what’s the point of ordering through Verizon when I can order the same phone and receive it on launch day? I know ordering through Verizon you can use your device points and earn more for trade in then through Apple.

Yep, $450 for my 8+ and $100 device dollars is virtually half off of the 12 pro...I can wait...

My X works fine. The good thing about business phones is that you can get a great deal. My company was offering a great deal on the 12. So much so that I jumped on it
 
I have to admit that I like this shade of blue better.

Nice
 
Hey again! Looking to get a pro Max 256 GB. Was thinking blue but now im between silver and graphite also.


On another note, if anyone s trading in there phones to Verizon or Apple- how are you doing it? Waiting for your new one to arrive or what? Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm anxious/too excited this year.
I would prefer the blue one.
