I've got a Blue 128GB iPhone 12 on order and it just moved to preparing to ship. I'm on the west coast.

Also, does anyone else find it kind of weird that Apple lists 0% GST in the transaction but estimated tax of 12% (5% GST + 7% PST in BC)? It works out to the same but the way they write it in the order confirmation makes it seem like I didn't pay GST, but obviously did.

Never did a reserve and pick up at a Apple store before...
Simple question, do they charge your CC for reservations? Or is it more like Bestbuy reserve and pick up?
depends if you’re reserving or pre-ordering with in-store pickup.
I reserved in store and you don’t provide any payment details, so you pay when you get it in hand.
If you pre-order and pickup, looks like it’s the day you pick it up.

Got another one of my Amazon ordered cases today! Was a bit thrown off by the “12 Max” on sticker, but same size as my clear Pro case I bought last week.
How is the front edge of the case? Is it thick enough to protect the front of the iPhone?
 
Anybody planning to go to a carrier store on release day? Think Telus stores will have any stock or are they all reserved for preorders?

Front lip is very minimal

Mine is preparing to ship too; I'm in the Maritimes.

Though I wasn't initially planning for it, I'm now looking into a clear case. Oddly, it looks like a lot of typical brands like Spigen are only carrying ones for the Pro Max right now

EDIT: Going to give this guy a try: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08CXR5CF6

no charge for reservation. You only get charged when you pick it up.

Moved to preparing to ship as well.
Chances it arrives on Thursday ? 😛

I had To downgrade my X to a 7+ due to screen + water damage so this upgrade is going to be pretty big for me. Especially since my microphone doesn’t work and the camera has days where it doesn’t won’t too lol
 
Interestingly, if you want graphite, there are still reservations available for launch day here.
I’m keeping an eye on it in case they ever release silver, but it’s greyed out completely on the site.
 
The store page wouldn't even load for me until 8:06 Eastern. Weird. I wonder if the 128GB model had a higher demand. I know 5 hours after placing the order, I could do a in store pickup for the 256GB model.
 
Ordered a 128 GB 12 Pro Graphite, it's set to arrive on launch day. Preparing to ship... but I want to cancel it. Anyone ever cancelled after preparing to ship? Or I will have to return it?
