Other November for iPhone 12 Pro sigh

Many rumors have been making Iphone 12 sound quite feature poor but the delay is keeping my hopes up.
The logic behind is that if the Iphone 12 would be pretty much the same as Iphone 11 there should be no manufacturing problems. That is unless they are related to A14 chip but wouldnt it be more likely that they are due to implementation of some new features which took more time to get right than expected?

Well the iPhone 12 will be released to public on October 23. I have a feeling November 6th is when they will release the Pro models since that is the flag ship phone. Also, I really hope we are able to pre-order the iPhone the same night even though It’s going to be a staggered release.

I’m going to say if you miss the preorder window (device on release), then you’ll be looking at December for the phone. Therefore, you better be there for the preorder window. It’s normally 12.01am pacific time?
Last year it was 8am est and 5am pst. It’ll probably be the same this year as well.
If you've made it this far, you can wait a little longer.
If they delay it this year for the pro, then perhaps the iPhone 13 will come out in September time frame, which only means about nine months from December, and if that’s the case, just wait until iPhone 13 comes out. 
People will complain that,” I just bought the phone in December and now nine months or 9 1/2 months later a new one comes out”. Trust me it will happen.

I feel the same way and I have an X. Lol, but honestly Im not upgrading to this, maybe the 13 next year.
or better yet, probably to an 11 pro when they drop in price sometime after the 12 release.
I like your thinking prices come down with the new release...would you Max or smaller phone? I'm so used to the larger screens but I know plenty of people like compact... X is a nice compact size
Pre-orders never begin the same day. They have to give people on an upgrade plan time to verify eligibility (and call customer service if they discover a problem) before ordering begins.
I'm only upgrading my iPhone every 3 years. This year is the year
I'd never be able to upgrade every year, differences between phones on a year-by-year basis are so small that I couldn't see myself spending money on upgrading every year. You do you tho
why? No 120hz, no camera upgrade, weak 5G, A14 is underwhelming and no better than the A12. Oh, and it will be the most expensive iPhone ever, in the middle of a global pandemic...you greatly overestimate the want for the 12. there is zero reason to upgrade unless you have something older than an iPhone 8,
That is what this site is all about lol.
There is a significant percentage of iPhone users globally who own older devices. It’s the same with any smartphone these days, you don’t need to upgrade every year or even every two years because the technology is so good. The Pro devices like every year will be less popular than the standard mid tier iPhones and there are tens of millions of people worldwide who will see this year as a big step forward in terms of upgrade. I’m on an 8+ and the iPhone 12 Max should be a big upgrade. It’ll be the first phone I’ve owned with FaceID and an OLED screen.
Don’t assume everybody is comparing the iPhone 12 to last years iPhones or Android handsets of a similar price because many really aren’t doing that. The comparison will be made on the device they currently have and whether it offers enough.
Yeah totally get you.. And smart... We shall see I have issues hahaI'm only upgrading my iPhone every 3 years. This year is the year

Yep Rumors. But one persons weak 5G is another persons useful functionality and on persons A14 is underwhelming is another persons it rocks and one persons no camera upgrade is another persons the best camera yet.
That's a truism as long as I've participating at MacRumors. Every person has their unique view on what a new model iphone means to them. And Apple seems to sell many, many, many of them.
And finally have a citation for the "most expensive" iphone ever? Do you have inside knowledge of the price? And maybe you underestimate the want for the iphone 12, because you are encumbered by your biases?
Exactly. Apple aren’t stupid and putting prices up in a year where global economies are on their knees would be a rather risky strategy. More likely the prices of the Pros will stay the same and the 12 Max will match the iPhone 11. The 5.4” 12 will likely be the big winner due to its lower price again and appealing smaller form factor which we know is generating a lot of excitement already.
