Is it just me or does the 12 pro charge faster wirelessly than the XS? I'm not talking about MagSafe, I just mean regular QI wireless charging.
Now I’m wishing that I didn’t have to get rid of my qi stand, because I would love to test it out based on your observation. I’m hunting for one now with a double coil. Any recommendations?

I'm glad to hear it! I didn't get the PM. I was referring to the 12 Pro. I'm coming from a X and I just expected more.

Dimming the phone has helped me a ton though
Ooooooh I am soooo sorry, I couldn’t agree more with your statement. I bought the 12 pro thinking it will be significantly better with battery life, but like you said the 5g is a drainer and I completely agree... have u tried and looked at the max?

I always use popsockets on my phones - so much easier to handle the device and gives me a peace of mind of me accidentally dropping it or something lol
I love PopSockets! I haven’t put one on my 12 Pro Max yet because I want the PopGrip Slide when they release one for this phone. I want it to be lovable for wireless charging!

Out of curiosity, would saving it in ProRaw give better photo quality than saving in HEIC? Or is ProRaw only useful if you plan on editing it. I only ask because that's a phenomenal shot, and I'm not sure if it' just the camera itself or if it has something to do with ProRaw. I also need to add there was a LOT of complaints about lens flare with the 12 Pro. I wonder if the lack of lens flare here has to do with the Max or the ProRaw.
I found saving it in HEIC was a lot "brighter" and more of that "iPhone Look"- have added it here so you can compare...

Finally upgrading from my 8+ to a 12PM and I am so excited!! I wasn’t able to order until a few days ago with a estimated Dec 3-10 arrival date, however it has already shipped and says that it is currently awaiting customs clearance, so I am really hoping to get it in just a few days (for a little bit it said scheduled delivery for the 18th so ??...) anyone know how long that usually takes?
I am in the same boat, shipped Fri but no departure scans from China yet. Hoping the scans are just delayed

Aww I wish that I could but I’m an avid runner and I can barely fit the phone into my running pants pocket as it is. There’s no way the PM would fit.
Would be nice to have a better battery and the best of the best camera!

enjoy it for me ?

I have a PM that I am not quite sure what is happening. Delivery tentative for tomorrow but I am doubtful
Mine showed tentative delivery for tomorrow but changed to rescheduling delivery. Seems like it might be some paperwork issue that’s holding up the shipment, which is disappointing because Apple is no newbie at this. No movement at all today.

Awesome. UPS is taking their time today for me!

What case if any are you going to use?
I didn’t want to use any case, and if I had gotten the normal pro, I THINK I would risk without, but this is JUST on the edge of being scary to hold so I’ll probably get the saddle brown apple leather. That’s what I always had for my 6S, and REALLY like the way they look over time. I am sure there are better leather cases out there, but I’ve never really looked.

Thanks for sharing! Granted I’m only viewing this on my iPhone, but to my eyes the ProRaw looks very DSLRish whereas the HEIC looks...not great. The sun especially is a disaster.

I have 5G on all the time with my mini and haven’t noticed a huge decrease in battery.

It’s really good! At its highest volume it doesn’t distort it! Gets loud for how small it is! And you just bump ur phone up to it and transfers whatever music was playing on ur phone. And not just Apple Music my daughter did it with YouTube playing a song and it transferred. These things are great! Apples cheapest device, and they throw in a 20w brick.
