I believe an article was posted less than 1% of those trying to make a career out of YouTube are actually successful supporting a ‘substantial’ income. Plus, expenses for editing software, high-quality cameras, employee expenses and some of the ‘Youtubers’ have a league of people working under them to make all this happen. There’s plenty of overhead required to generate that income.
Got a tip for us?

Agree - after watching some of these, its made my mind up. iPhone 12 in Black it is!
My gut reaction to the idea of Magsafe is that it is cool. But I can't think of a situation in my life where it would actually be helpful. I have wireless charging stands in all my living and working areas. I don't want to hold them down when I grab my phone. I have a wireless charger/holder in my car that grips my phone, and I don't think a Magsafe charger would be an improvement. I guess it would be nice if built into furniture, but I don't think I'd ever do that.
Accessories pop off to easily for my comfort. So I would not buy any. I rarely plug a charger into my phone, and I don't see how Magsafe is much of an improvement over just using a port. Less wear and tear on the port, I guess. But who wants to carry around the puck?
Oh, wait. I thought of one. It would be nice to have this built into a wireless external battery.
It would be nice if it works with existing car mounts since I already have a magnetic one. I'm not a fan of vent clip mounts, so I'm hoping that there are more options soon.
100000% agree.
I will definitely be sitting the 12 out. Of course if my 11 Pro breaks/dies, I will get a 12. Otherwise, on mm5G, it gets hot. I remember this happening with some phones when LTE 4G first came out too. With a little luck my 11 Pro will last another year or two when they have 5G more under control. There will be more 5G coverage then too. Where I live, I doubt I will see 5G anytime soon.
The BEZELS look huge and bigger than the 11 pro, it just looks outdated I wish the bezels where smaller, they look to big
I really dislike the video about New York; it comes across as a social or political ad rather than anything about the iPhone 12.
It's amazing how Apple showed it working during the keynote. No way is it powerful enough for you to comfortably put your cards in.
This has clearly become the great debate of 2020. Are you a non-Pro Blue or Pacific Blue person?
I may not be thinking about this correctly. But, it seems to me that the magnet in the phone is not strong enough to reliable hold up a phone. And it you use a stronger magnet in the charger, it isn't going to reliably align to the ring in the phone. I guess we'll see.
Regardless, I think this feature is not as exciting so much as it is an indication of what Apple wants to do in the future.
CNET’s (if I remedy correctly) review said the normal 12 lasted two hours longer the the 12 pro battery life on the same test. Weird.

Was hoping for thinner bezels, but they look the same as the 11 and the X.
The 12 blue looks fantastic in The Verge’s review. But then it looks bad in other videos. That color really is playing tricks on us.
I agree. After watching the early "review" videos, I would be hesitant to trust the magnet unless the mount has a stronger hold. I know that Belkin is developing one and Scosche is supposedly developing one that integrates the MagSafe cable.
I haven't had any issues with my current mount, but we'll see how that pans out with my 12 haha.
