I have the 12 mini, but my existing Anker QI pads work fine, as does my Elephas Qi Wireless Charging Stand. Apparently there were issues which iOS 14.2 resolved. Have you updated your phone yet? There is a thread on MacRumors Forums discussing which QI pads work and which don't. Anker seems a pretty safe bet.
100% agree about the shiny edges. Absolutely beautiful design, only tainted slightly with the shiny edges.
I personally far prefer the matt effect edges of the previous 4/5 design, and think it would have blended in much better with the matt effect rear of the handset.
However, I use a Spigen case that has a solid bumper around the edge though, so once that's fitted, it becomes completely irrelevant though.
Yeah, a case sorts it for me too... I just love the iPad Pro edges and wish this phone was the same, but it’s a tiny detail. Everything else is superb and I’ll be sticking with this for a long time I think!100% agree about the shiny edges. Absolutely beautiful design, only tainted slightly with the shiny edges.

I see little difference to my Xs Max really, in fact the Xs Max screen is brighter and crisper but maybe I need glasses, however for me I like the square edges of the Pro Max, I don't like the rounded ones and always had to have them in cases as too slippy, for the extra money though its pretty ridiculous with such few minor changes that would affect the normal person, as I said before its the camera I will enjoy playing with but as for the rest I just don't get it, never mind those upgrading from an 11 series, but if you can afford it why not?
Anyway there is something for everyone and everyone has different budgets and if you get enjoyment then that's what working hard is all about, but if in doubt leave it out, that certainly went for me for the daft wallet and awful so called Apple leather case for the 12 Pro Max but someone will learn to like them, well you have to if Apple made them and you spent so much on them, will soon be spot the Apple wallet lying in the road!
I hope everyone gets exactly what they want, I have enjoyed the excitement but its like after a wedding when you have a hangover a huge bill to pay and wonder what the hell that was all about, never mind the nonsense rip off extras you paid for, maybe should have stuck with the first wife, maybe she wasn't so bad after all 😄
Boy this is one uncomfortable phone! I’m having quite a hard time with the sharp edges cutting into my fingers and my hands.
But I don’t see them changing the design for a number of years yet so... may as well get used to it now!
I wonder if a case would help with the sharpness albeit it adds weight and I usually prefer to see the beauty of the design....

These were the ones of the 12 Pros I took in the Apple Store before pre-order, cant help with the max's but the finish would be the same

I've still got my XS Max, might try my sons 11 Pro for a bit (his Xmas present...lol) to see how it feels size/weight wise. I've always been a Plus phone owner (6, 7, Xs Max).
May go extreme and get a 12 mini even!
Mine either sorted themselves out overnight or using your phone restart tip nudged them into action, but all mine are back.
Just out of interest. Those who bought using 24 months barclays interest free loan, can you swap the phone for another colour? Or do you have to go thing the whole loan application again?
Ive got PB but the Silver has me interested. I like the way the camera sort of blends into the whole back.

Apple told me that you can swap the colour without having to do another credit check or application - call them. I’d be interested to know just how it works as I have PB but not 100% taken and like the Graphite.
Just picked my 12 pro max gold from Apple Covent garden. Whole process took less than 2 minutes. Have to say, after originally getting the pacific blue, I am so glad I got the gold. It looks stunning. The edges look amazing and the back is a nice tone as well. As much as I wanted to like the PB, it was too dark for me.
To confirm, are iPhone purchase from apple eligible for return until 8 jan. if using the express storefront option?
Yes, we are now within the extended Christmas return period.
Edit: It certainly applies to online orders but you'll have to check with the store itself for store purchases.
Click and collect, however, is an online order in my view.

Just been on with them. And as its a loan, you can't straight swap. It has to go back for a full refund and you have place a new order again. Which will mean a new credit check if you choose barclays.
Il stick with PB I think, too much hassle to swap now lol

EE replaced my Watch eSIM that took less than 10 mins to activate
the only swap you could do was when you was pre approved and actually ordered colour could be swapped not storage
