Though you now get Oled on the base iPhone which is a significant upgrade and actually reduces the difference between the iPhone 12 and 12pro 6.1 .
Normally 19%, but they lowered it to 16% until end of the year because of Covid.
19% but it’s been lowered to 16% for the rest of the year. It’s actually one of the lowest in Europe. It’s 25% in Sweden for example
For me, the better camera and the zoom lense make the pro worth it. The zoom lense alone is worth it for capturing family photos.
I'm a vocal USB-C naysayer here, but I agree this is a bigger disappointment year after year. It does seem like MagSafe is their new proprietary alternative to Lightning, which is a shame.
On the flip side, 15w charging is pretty darn close to the current 18w fast-charging wired speed. The Apple MagSafe charger looks dumb as heck, but if someone makes a Palm Pre style charger, where the phone is held at an angle and the charger has some weight to it so it doesn't lift off the table, that could be pretty slick.
The problem with using magnets alone for a car mount is it's really unsafe in a car accident. That 7oz/200g slab of glass and metal hurling through the interior of a car at driving speeds can cause serious injury in an otherwise benign car accident. I tell people that the rule of thumb is if you wouldn't want it thrown at your face by a major league pitcher, it should be held in place somehow in the car.
What if it could be would mounted or maybe the bottom allows for a suction cup style placement for flat smooth surfaces like glass or wood desks.
But the display won't break thanks to ceramic glass.
Oh it will break... break yo face!
Hate to say it, I've been on the iPhone bandwagon since it first came out; I'm beginning to wonder if innovation has been replaced with forced obsolescence and incremental updates. It's a shame that the major milestone feature is 5G, I just don't see it as life-impacting. Shape changes and sizes and colors just don't rank up there with true technology advancement. Yes, in the end, it's a phone and there is only so much you can do with it, but I really want something new, something genuinely new. I think Apple might have something with the smart home show they put on display during the event, but don't think we are there just yet. Here's to hoping, dreaming and staying foolish!
Removing it from a Macbook which nobody (I know of) asked for, to then add it to a phone which nobody (I know of) asked for.
It is like Apple is going in exactly the opposite direction of the puck these days.
No chargers included would be fine if they would finally put in an usb-c port in it. Just annoying that you still need an extra cable solely for your phone while all other tech is using usb-c for years (filmmaker here). But couldn't care less about the update anyway since I gonna use my 11 pro for at least 2 more years. But if you are in for a you phone you get a nice upgrade. Just baffled to see how many people here in this forum fill the urge to upgrade (for what?).
I guess there are a lot of iPhone 6/7/8 users for whom the iPhone 12 mini is a perfect upgrade. I will stick with my iPhone 7 for at least another year, because I won't buy a phone without Touch ID in a time when we all wear masks in public in the foreseeable future.
Noticed that right away on the keynote. The attention to details that made Apple so especial is really vanishing, sad.
I've also had MacBooks with magsafe, but a phone is different where you've got used to picking it up off a non-magnetic charger several times a day, or even several times an hour - it's inevitable that at some point it's going to get picked up forgetting that the charger is still going to be 'stuck' to the back putting load on the cable and connections.
Yeah the zoom lens is definitely a loss & makes the decision a little harder. On balance though I store most of my pics in the cloud so will probably still go with the base config 12 which is £200 cheaper than the pro. Get what you're saying though for sure.
