yeah I too am wondering what will be new in the 12 pro. I am hoping that magnetic circle I have seen in rumors will allow for a folio where the phone just snaps in place. I don’t like cases but would love a folio cover that protects the phone but I could easily remove it. Kind of like the iPad Pro smart cover.

Lidar Sensor
5G
A14 Chip (it’s a beast) you can see the benchmark Macrumors posted earlier today
Better camera
Better battery life (Much more efficient)
Better Performance
New colors
Reverse charging
Much more internal features as well... the list goes on. Apple has been working hard indeed.

let’s be real everyone will be pre-ordering the new iPhone on pre-ordering night.

I’m sure Apple will do something like early upgrade program or where you can trade it in early.
I’m hoping they allow us to do it all online now so I can save the 50 mile round trip to my closest Apple store.

Don’t see why they have never offered that considering the process is no difference to get anything else on credit/finance.

I wonder if Apple will stick to the preordering time they had last year. I live on the East Coast so preordering time for us was at 8am. I’ll normally already be at work but I’m definitely going to put in for that day off so I can preorder and help my daughter with her virtual learning.

I think it’s going to be the same as last year. That’s my opinion. I’m in Las Vegas. So, I’ll be up early at 3AM pre-ordering.

All rumors and none of those are true except 5G. a Lidar sensor (even if its true) would only be in the high end pro max, the other 4 iPhones would not have it. Battery is smaller, battery life won't be better. A14 is no big upgrade, no faster in multicore than the A12Z. New colors is not an upgrade lol. Funny though.

You should just order yourself a Samsung. Apple doesn’t need you lol.

It's time to pass my X on to the next generation, so - iPhone 12 (Pro) here I come. Looking forward to that uniquely crazy time of the year (it's been 3 years since last time!)

Everyone think we will see the invites for the Digital Event go live tonight?
My money is on an announcement next week but I don't see the Pro Max being released until November if the rumours are right. It will be interesting to see what other goodies they announce along with the phone. Airtags & Studio. Perhaps mini home pods and maybe a hint of a diluted Airpower.

Fair enough.

well if the 12 is released later this month, it should keep us iUP customers in line for upgrade upon release next September
My wife already made her 13th payment. She probably isn't getting 12, but for others, that means they've already made a useless payment and will need to cough up extra to upgrade on time if 13 goes back to September

The troll actually believes he’s going to make us feel bad by saying he won’t buy the iPhone 12, or make Apple go out of business, or something. He just can’t understand we don’t care what phone he buys.
If they don't get a 12, that one more split second we have to order before going to backorder hell.

Really? What new features is the 12 getting the 11 doesn't have? Same old boring two year old features.

No idea in terms of confirmation, since we’ve not had an announcement. Some of our fellow Macrumours residents provided a likely rumour list.

Nearly there, my iPhone 7 Plus currently has the audio IC issue and also a 78 percent battery and also has battery charging issues (never been the same since I took it out in -22c at winter). Yes, I could get them fixed but it’s not worth it.

I would just wait till the 12 at this point. You are gonna waste more money getting it repaired. What country was it at? -22?

Today Apple should announce the event that will take place a week from now on 13th of October, with preorders starting from 16
And if this happens, then its clear Apple wants 1 event/month on the second week of that month, so we can expect that Apple will make the last mac event next month on 10th of November so this way, Apple has the eyes of the world for 3 months
