iPhone 12 Pro launched

Any idea when it will land in SA? The 12 Pro max shows 13 Nov for the US.

Apple's pricing strategy is not sustainable in the third world countries.

It is a luxury item not meant for the poor and plebs. The relatively well & those who don't mind the debt will buy them by the millions as happens every year.
 
“While our competition is scrambling to keep up with our chips from last year, we remain generations ahead,” Apple said.

I love this comment :)
 
As part of our efforts to reach our environmental goals, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max do not include a power adapter or EarPods. Please use your current Apple power adapter and headphones, or purchase these accessories separately.

All good and well if you're a recent model's owner. But when you're new you kind'a get screwed. They should have cut prices by the cost of those accessories for all buyers.
 
I'm keen to make the switch.
Due for upgrade but nothing interesting from the Android camp. Would have preferred a Samsung but I refuse to buy another exynos.

I thought Samsung uses snapdragon for the models they release in SA?

4x optical zoom. This just killed the need for most of Canon's G series cameras. Unless you are confident those 1" sensors are going to outperform this phone. I highly doubt it though...

Another advantage of this phone is that the camera app will output RAW files that also include the results of the computational photography algorithms. That will probably place it ahead of the G series cameras.

Can you prove they didn't?

"iPhone 12 Pro launched – The most powerful iPhone ever" Would they make a pro model which is less powerful than the previous year?

That line "The most powerful x ever" annoys me, it is the headline for every single product they release.

I think part of the reason they don't have a better headline is because there's not much to report on. New model isn't radically different to the previous.

Prove? No, not objective. But I can make an inference on the fact that they always keep pricing fixed release to release. So prices are the same with or without those accessories.

My sentiments exactly. Would not be surprised if last year and the year before's headline was the same. Reminds me of the phone itself, actually..

To be fair to Apple though - what more can mobile phones do?

Plenty! Apple are just behind the times still lol
