    Which blue are you feeling more??

      Pro but I’ll probably be getting the mini because I’m tired of these massive bricks

      I preordered the blue 12 Pro for the features but I’m actually super jealous of the regular 12’s blue

      The blue of the iPhone 12. So much nicer than the pacific blue on the Pro IMHO.

      I think both blues look amazing, but there’s something about the subtleness of Pacific Blue that draws me in more.

      Pacific Blue is the best. I hope I can experience having an iPhone as well.

    The only issue I see is that new iphone users are forced to buy a charging block. I have not owned an iphone since iphone 3G and am planning on getting the 12. But i have to dish out an extra $20 for a charging block. Not kool

    Can’t say I’m a fan of the magnetic chargers. I love my desk puck that I just drop my XS on and lift off which I do fairly frequently. Having to pry the phone from the charger every time would become annoying quickly for me…. as would (I presume) the two-handed operation.

  18. Dennis Brill

    Is the charger missing that’s why they make the box and if you don’t have a big square charger he’s cheap Apple got a cheap

  19. Tomek C

    October 21, 2020 at 12:32 am

    It has nothing to do with extra 25$ for the charger ( or the environment) The box is half the size of the one with the charger. So you can ship twice as many!

  20. Dana McCoy

    October 21, 2020 at 12:35 am

    It’s all about Apple increasing their profits. They know how many people have previous generation Iphone’s. They could have just given a charger away for free if needed, if they needed proof you weren’t just reselling the chargers, they could have required that you bring in your old Iphone as proof that you do not have last years model. If anyone really wanted MagSafe, they could have just had it on a case instead of on the phone side, and purchased a case instead.

    Why is sub6 5G so slow in the US? In Australia, our LTE is usually 100-160Mbps average, and our sub6 5G is usually 350-500Mbps average … 🤔

  32. Warlord

    October 21, 2020 at 11:52 am

    The removal of the plug and headphones was 100% a money making move. For sure there is ‘some’ environmental benefits to it, but all those go out of the window when you take into consideration the shipping and packaging of the now buyable plug, headphones and accessories. The whole eco friendly routine was a marketing tactic, a genius play on their marketing teams behalf but utter bs to their consumers. A poor decision in my eyes, considering most people upgrade every 24 months it makes no sense they ditch the plug this year. It should be next, so far if you have a type c plug you had to have owned an 11 pro or pro max which makes upgrading a really stupid move financially. They’ve pretty much forced users to buy their “new” accessories. Sure any 5w charger and lightning cable works, but the fact remains you pay a premium for the 18W fast charge capability. When in reality you shouldn’t.

    If Apple would have cut the price of the phone, or at least offered the brick for people who needed one (and I’m going to assume that’s a lot of people with the USBC to lightening cable) then this would have gone over a lot better. As of now, it seems like spin on a pure money grab. As far as color. That Pacific Blue. Reeeeeaaaaaal nice.

    I don’t understand why people don’t like the notch! I think it looks fire! It goes great with the design.

  45. Nick Colonna

    October 21, 2020 at 10:28 pm

    i don’t really mind that apple removed the adapter, its an aggressive push for more tech companies to choose one cable instead of proprietary

  46. Jack Nevitt

    October 21, 2020 at 11:01 pm

    Can you charge it with your old cable from iPhone 7?

  47. Swymco

    October 21, 2020 at 11:27 pm

    With how light the phones are, and how strong the magnets are, I bet if you kick the cable while plugged it, the phone will go flying across the room! Looking forward to a YouTuber testing this out.

    October 22, 2020 at 6:09 am

    Hmmm they said they want to save environment but sell us charger and magsafe 🤔 🤔 that actually extra 50 bucks for what supposed to be in the box, dont forget they increase their price with iphone 12 to 799. Oh yeah i forgot to mention that now we need to buy a headphone too. So what kind of environment apple tries to safe here hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

    • helenHTID

      October 22, 2020 at 11:04 am

      I guess technically it does save some waste, Like all those that already have lighting cables and USB-A bricks won’t end up having another one, And that means less bricks stockpiling.. Possibly ending up in landfill. And they save packaging waste by not needing so much without holding a brick. But overall, Does that make a difference in the current climate? I think it saves Apple some money in the process. As for making you buy a fast charger if you want one, Well you cab buy them anywhere not necessarily from Apple so they can’t have a monopoly on that.

    Magsafe is probably the worst implementation ever, that magnet makes everything useless. If this would come from an Android phone people would go crazy… But it is Apple, there is always an excuse.

    Whatever reason not providing that charging brick and only 1 apple sticker, Apple just want to cash as much as possible from sheep.

    October 22, 2020 at 12:25 pm

    lol, apple is one company that will always does the same thing….make minor upgrades to their phones and make them sound like a big deal. the iphone 12 design is just an iphone 11 with flat sides🤣…the major upgrade is 5g as for the other camera stuff its just basically apple being apple, if you care so much about camera details get a damn canon camera. magsafe is just like airpods which will one day dominate the market, wanna bet in a few years theyll ditch the charging port?

    I understand apple’s rational to save on costs / green initiative to not include headphones and power adapter , but they should have stopped supplying the Apple stickers and the instruction manual / made it a QR code instead

  70. Kelvin KMS

    Apple is just a scam company which doesn’t want to provide USB-C (10Gb/s) port. and want us to spend more money for useless MagSafe charger, case and power adapter.

    Message to those who Support and participate in the Church of Sweden and the Swedish Salvation Army’s Religious War against me and the religion I belong to: Infinity, ♾, 8. We will drag everyone who participates in this like a Holocaust camp treatment of people from Infinity or any other religion to Court. As soon as it is possible, it will take 88 years, and those guilty of these heinous crimes will be PROCEEDED. A LITTLE RESPECT FOR OUR DEAD CIVILIANS IN ALL THE COUNTRIES WHO FALLED VICTIM FOR YOUR DESTRUCTION WAR AGAINST INFINITY !!! BOYCOTT 7 AS FROM COVID 19!

    8 is the new LUCKY number. We are the ones who think that Infinity is the most probable worldview that exists that has 8 as our favourite number. We are MANY MANY MANY MORE than those who believe that the world declaration of the Christian priests is the true one. These believe that 7 is their number. 7 comes from the 7 deadly sins. That sect claims that they carried out the Covid-19 (7) attack on the people of the world. They have released the 7 deadly sins in a biological terror attack according to them to demand submission of people and stifle other religions. In Sweden, 6,000 civilians have been killed due to the attack with their 7 deadly sins. Please do not spread their terrible terror symbol as all of us who have lost a loved one in their 7 sins attack take very bad at using the terror symbol as something good.
