ugh for some reason Xfinity mobile doesn't have the mini in 256 GB until December. Do I go with 128, order the 256 direct from apple (lose some bill credits), or wait...
You should be good. I ordered my Pro when that preorder opened and got mine launch day. You may not see many updates and if you call they won’t know what the heck is going on. But it should be there for you on time.
I know waiting sucks, but I would not pass up bill credits.
To be honest, I have a 12 Pro, but it’s a little underwhelming... that’s not a knock of the phone; it looks great, is super-fast and takes great pics. But coming from the XR, it’s just a slightly better screen and better camera. There’s virtually no difference in daily use. So unless you’re dying for an upgraded camera or coming off an old model (like, 7 or before), it’s not really worth rushing for while passing up credits. I’d put my order in and wait.
I heard the same from lot of people. For me, I switched from Iphone 8 to Iphone12 pro and its a huge upgrade.
Hello all! I placed my order at 5 am and got a conformation of my order; iphone 12 pro max 128 gb. prior to submitting my order, it showed the date of 11/13. on my conformation email it doesn't show date. or maybe im missing it?? my card got charged right away (should be a good sign right?). am i just overreacting? lol.
You probably won’t see much movement on your account until next week. If your card was charged, that’s an authorization hold. Your card will be charged properly once the phone ships. My phone arrived one day early - arrival date was 11/4, I got it on 11/3.
good to know! and thats amazing! hopefully ill get mine a day early as well. i've never preordered. i've always gone on launch day and waited 😅. upgrading from an iphone x so im pretty excited. do you have the magsafe charger? im on the fence on getting it or not
I decided to do without the MagSafe, at least for now. My current wireless charger works fine. Looks cool, but it’s a little expensive.
I’m coming from a 7, so how’s it going upgrade. I decided to just go with the 128 GB. I have 25 GB free on my current 128 GB, and I could free up more if I needed to.
I imagine it will be quite an awesome upgrade. You’ll probably notice speed differences. Apps open super fast, and app switching is smooth. You’ll open an app you haven’t opened in hours and it’s like you never left (In most cases, anyways, though not all).
The screen and cameras are stunning. Even my XR with its single lense took awesome photos, and the camera plus the HDR photos and OLED screen look great. Bright, crisp pictures with more color and darker darks than are possible on the 7. Dark mode looks better. 4K video in HDR is amazing. I don’t have a Dolby Vision set, but I’d imagine it would look awesome. Everything just looks better on the 12‘s screen, especially if coming from a 7.
Space shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I have the 256GB, but usually only use about half of that, since I make use of iCloud storage and other features.
Mine shipped with a new one. I used it, and it worked fine. Just read the instructions that are in the manual it comes with. It comes in the iPhone box, but that box is inside a slightly-larger Xfinity box with a sim removal tool, a new sim and some directions.
I pre-ordered the 12 mini on Xfinity mobile today. 2 questions:
1. What shipping service do they use? (SIM came with FedEx when I got it in July)
2. Do I use the same SIM or "port" to the new SIM?

There will be included instructions to activate the new SIM that is delivered in the 12 mini iPhone box that is delivered by Fedex.
I haven't heard a thing since I ordered mine on Oct 18th.
They said I won't get mine until the 25th of November so not too antsy yet. Calling that 888 number is a joke with their 100 to 200 minute on hold time.
What I find a little strange is my neighbor ordered the exact phone 4 days after I did, but from another cell provider and has had his for over a week. That I don't get.
On the web it shows the phone under devices and billing it shows “not yet shipped.” The 12 pro I ordered still says null null. I’m taking this as good sign that it’s coming Friday.
My 12 pro has said that since Oct 21st three days after I ordered it.
I tried calling the 888 number to see what that means without any success.
Found how you can get a live person at that 888 number.
Call them after 11:30PM central time.
I did that tonight and got thru to a CSR in Winnipeg, Canada. Took about 3 minutes.
The Null Null means the phone is backordered.
Found my phone will be shipped the 23rd and will receive it the 25th.
