beyond all of his previous videos I gotta say Rene Ritchie’s Mega iPhone 12 review of 45mins I KILLS all the others.

bonus as he featured Rogers Wireless 5G speeds for those of us in Canada is very helpful. 280Mbps+ Down / 60Mbps+ Up is FASTER than my Rogers Infinite cable & Wi-Fi home service!! If only they had an unlimited cost effective data plan to go for - I’d be all in on 5G this early.

I was hoping the iphone 12 pro max would be a dark navy blue. It looks like it is a lighter shade and has some green in it. It's a nice color but not what I was hoping for. It's not easy to get a true dark navy car either, especially Japanese cars, which always seem to have metallics that make the blue tacky in sunlight.

I was going to get the Mini in blue. In bright light, that blue is...🤮.
Guess I’ll be going with black, again.
Also, that Product Red...sorry Apple, that’s not red.

I'll get the mini to stick it to the fridge to impress/amuse guests, and the pro as my new main phone ;-)

Glad they included the the NY video. That was great - shows what you can do with the phone.

I haven’t ordered yet, but I’m losing interest in the Pacific Blue color, might go silver or gold.
I went with silver and I'm glad I did. The tech chap has a review of it, it looks soooo fine
 
I agree. She is very entertaining, and her posts are really well done, in my opinion.

Her iPhone 12 unboxing has been up for just 7 hours and it has over 700,000 views!! That is astonishing.

Yea iJustine is one of the last BIG Youtubers from the early days of that site. I been a long time follower of hers (I am talking like since 2007). If it wasn't for her being a massive Apple nerd, I probably wouldn't have ever considered getting an iphone in 2008 and soon after my first macbook. Ever since then, I been team apple. Before iphone, I was heavily into T-mobile and their sidekick phones lol.
 
I hate the format of these YouTube videos for every new gadget. Impressions / unboxing / actual review. I don’t care what your impressions are or how the thing looks when you take it out of the box, I want to know what the battery life is like compared to last gen and the camera, 5G speeds etc. It’s only 3 days till release, does Apple stop them from giving actual reviews when they have the device already because it might make people cancel their preorders?

They only have a couple days with the phone before the embargo is lifted, so not enough time for detailed review.
 
Lol. Nope. It immediately renders every other Qi charger in existence inferior. I’ve used too many to count and they all suffer the same dreadful issues, which MagSafe just comes out and solves like it never existed.

The wallet might be worthless, but the overall MagSafe system is brilliant. The new 3-in-1 station Belkin is making is the nightstand charger to have.

A little over the top for my taste. I have a charging base from Nomad which is more to my liking. Maybe I'll upgrade when they put out a revised version with magnets...

Both Nomad's that I bought have since been replaced and are sitting in a drawer because they are nightmare to correctly position the device for charging. My wife refused to use hers anymore after too many times waking up to a phone that didn't charge. They are not good. And neither is any similar lay flat Qi charger.
