How far into the week do we think it'll be before reviewers get/can talk about units?
I unironically love thisDepends on the case.
I'm sure they have them, they just can't talk about i yet. ABC News showed that they have a couple:

I see. Thanks 4 the info
Based on the official photos I was not feeling the graphite at all. And I usually go for darker phones.
But fuck... that looks gorgeous. Kinda regretting the blue now.
If I buy a two-year term of AppleCare+, can I switch to monthly once the term ends? Or is it just done and over forever at that point?
If the back glass breaks/shatters, is the repair cost still some ridiculous amount? I'm not sure if fixing the back glass qualifies as "screen repair" or "other damage" under Apple's terms.

Yeah, you can switch to monthly after. They give you a grace period of around a month to do it.
Glad that design is back. iPhone 5 remained visually superior through all these years.
The camera bump though... Will always be a blight in these new phones. Major reason I started using a case, even if it's just a thin clear one. They also kept getting more and more slippery on the back.
i only have 7 payments left on my current iphone until i qualify for the upgrade
cant wait to get the 12 pro 😭

Wait, what? Is this new? I always thought Applecare was just done after two years.
After cracking the back screen on my X and basically ruining any chance of getting good trade in value, I'm definitely slapping a case on my 12 Pro. It's shame though, because these phone's are gorgeous. I am really looking forward to how MagSafe works, especially with some of those Belkin car accessories. I think MagSafe will be a feature we see most copied from this years phone going forward. Especially when the flagships start ditching the charging ports in a couple years.
I mean, it's not really something that you notice. Unless you actively run your fingers up and down the back of the phone, I suppose.
The 8 Plus has a zoom lens. The 12 has an ultra-wide lens. So it depends on which lens you'd rather have.
I can't say if its new or not since my XS Max is the first time I've had it expired before I upgrade. But in my Phone's settings it says "Coverage Expired" and and I have 32 days remaining to add a monthly $9.99 plan.
Can't wait to get the 12 Pro Max 😩
The reviews for the 12 and 12 Pro being tomorrow will be nice, can finally compare the colors outside of Apple's videos and renders.

The upgrade in RAM for the Pro isn't even listed anywhere and it certainly wasn't touted as a feature, which I find odd, because if anything they really needed to justify the price of the Pro over the regular. I'm not sure I'd pay the extra money if you weren't interested in the camera.
Man that gold pro gonna look beautiful, I know I'm gonna regret not going gold this time around.
are there already videos of the regular 12? now Im interested how the aluminum frame compares to this. especially with the matt finish.
Don't they usually list the pro as having upgraded capabilities, though? They make it seem like functionally it is equivalent to the non pro except for fit and finish and the camera.
I don't know, the price difference seems to be inline with the marginal differences. When you equal storage, its only $120 for a much better camera and a stainless steel body. By comparison, the Aluminum vs Stainless Steel Watch difference is $300.
This is why I don't use cases. It's so enjoyable using a device like this without a chunk of cheap plastic layered on top of it.
And it my experience, most cases usually aren't going to protect against major fall damage, just scratches. Only the really thick and heavy rubberized cases seem to protect against that.
Well, I'm trying to cancel my iPhone 12 pre-order now and step up. That is gorgeous.
So what other benefits are there to the Pro if I don't give a shit about the camera?
I have an 8+ I plan to trade-up(and I assume it is a noticeable leap), but I'm waffling over whether the better materials are worth it for the Pro? Anything else I'm not understanding about the Pro vs 12 vanilla?

going from 8+ to 12 as well, kinda wondering the same, hoping i didnt make a mistake lol
i would expect this to still be a upgrade on all sides, even camera, i would hope
from the little previews it doesnt seem like the Pro offers too much more, to me it was between the 2 ends of the spectrum, 12 or 12 pro max
dont really see the need of the pro
Apparently 6 GB RAM instead of 4. LiDA and some camera software.
After watching this unboxing video I think the Pro models looks alot sharper (and thus better imo) than the regular ones.
I compared the frames and the regular one looks alot more round/curvy which I dont like.
Nothing really. There's more RAM, but you're unlikely to ever notice the difference. These aren't Android phones, they don't really need to brute force RAM to keep speeds up, they're pretty well optimized
You also get twice the starting storage on the Pro, which was a huge deciding factor in me upgrading. Also, even though iOS is much more optimized when it comes to RAM usage, if you're keeping these phones for multiple years, it certainly doesn't hurt having 50% more. If anything the extra camera is probably the least compelling reason to upgrade.
