It's easier to memorize the contents of the video if you work at Apple translating and captioning. It's probably and much more difficult to get a copy of the actual video file.
Most likely he read some transcript of the video and not the actual video. Apple sends them out to some companies for translation subtitles / ASL vids / etc... I don’t think many people have seen or access to the actual video before launch.
I have the folio on my iPad 11 pro, the iPad moves off the case easily wouldn't trust it on a iPhone.
Not good for those that update every year, will only get 10 months out of the 12, may as well wait for the 13.
Have always thought the XR/11 cameras looks terrible in a case, looks like the mini and 12 non pro will be the same.

Aluminum isn’t necessarily lighter. It depends on the design. There’s a reason Elon Musk is using stainless for his Falcon Starship.
5.8 is the sweet spot for me.
6.1 is too big and heavy.
5.4 is too tiny.

5.4 is too tiny.
That seems to fit, since Kang said parts of the info were in English (which implies that other parts were in Chinese).
If there’s more aluminium in the design compared to stainless, of course it can be the same weight

One of the best comparisons is the stainless steel vs. aluminum Watch. The aluminum model comes out lighter every time.
No touch id? Too bad i think i will stick with my SE 2 if there’s no iphone 12 model with touch id.
Keep in mind that the presentation Kang saw was at least partially in Chinese. An idiom like “Gorilla Glass” might not make sense to Chinese speakers, so the translators would have to come up with a substitute.
Not at all. Gorilla Glass is widely advertised by top brands like Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo and is very well known.
Apple simply doesn't advertise the names of third-party components. Otherwise, it distracts from the Apple brand. You will will never see the words Qualcomm Snapdragon X55, Samsung AMOLED, or Broadcom Wi-Fi 6 on Apple marketing literature.

Only by about 9 grams which is not much considering the weight ratio of aluminium vs stainless is 1 to 3. The design must be slightly different between the two which would make sense as you’d need thicker cross sectional areas.

I'm going iPhone 12 128GB.. still furious that the rumored 64GB starting storage is true. Really horrible on Apple there. Any ideas on the historic time for deliveries when ordering online? Am I better to get in line at the Apple Store here on the day of sales? I'm in Dubai, btw.
There is an 11g difference between stainless steel and aluminum Series 4. I would call 30% quite a difference.
Stainless Steel - 44mm
Case Weight: 47.9g
Aluminum - 44mm
Case Weight: 36.7g
According to Apple, the Series 4 Watch only uses 5g of aluminum material for the 44mm model.
