What’s going on with the iPhone 12 being on backorder everywhere? I just ordered my white iPhone 12 through t-mobile and it’s not scheduled to ship until the end of October, early November? I get that there’s a chip shortage but geez… a whole month almost two months to get a 12? Seems odd.
Got a tip for us?

Not, Odd... Soon to be discontinued 
This is definitely not a good time to purchase iPhone 12. Wait, 1 more day.
This is definitely not a good time to purchase iPhone 12. Wait, 1 more day.Well it was through t-mobile to save money, so it made sense for us to make the switch. I don’t mind the wait as I’m saving money but I don’t see the 13 being much different or anything worth upgrading to.Not, Odd... Soon to be discontinued

iPhone 12 will be discontinued effective next week. so if I were you cancel the order and place a preorder this Friday at 8:00am EST you will get it by next Friday
If you’re getting the standard 12 then you done well, since the 13 won’t be getting 120hz and camera upgrades like the 13 pro model.
The standard 13 this year is going to be a disappointing upgrade this year, it’ll still sell like crazy though.
Yes. Just the regular 12. However, I’m now second guessing myself since people are saying Apple will no longer be making the regular 12 so now I’m worried I won’t be receiving my phone that I ordered…
I agree with everyone if you are getting the plain iPhone 12 , 13 wont be a big upgrade but the 13 Pro and The Pro Max I would hold out till Friday if you are doing the Pro models.. I bought a 12 mini last month knowing there isn’t much upgrade on the 13 mini ..
That’s the one I went with, just the standard 12. The 13 did not seem worth the upgrade whatsoever.
I agree.. no pro-motion, maybe a bigger battery .. I would still watch the event for maybe a hidden gem.. you still have 14 days to change your mind to a 13 if they do something cool
Since you were able to order your phone, you’ll end up getting it.
Oh I’ll definitely be watching the event. I always watch them
excited to see all the new gadgets and what not.
On the big screen? 🤔📺 let’s go!!!!Oh I’ll definitely be watching the event. I always watch them
The reason to cancel your order is that when you need to sell or trade in the device, you’ll get more money.
Also, it is virtually guaranteed to be supported for longer than the 12.
