@Se@n if you're not using wired headphones you can go to Bluetooth options, select the "i" next to your headphones and change the "Device Type" to "Other".
Aah thank you, let me give that a shot.

iStore say they’re working through there waitlist so does that mean there is stock? Who knows..
Vodacom say end of Feb to mid March for the 12 Pro/Pro Max.. 6 months before a potential launch of its successor.
Vodacom say end of Feb to mid March for the 12 Pro/Pro Max.. 6 months before a potential launch of its successor.
I placed an order with iStore for another iPhone 12 Pro at end of December 2020, when it initially said online that it would ship mid-Jan. It’s been over a month now and I received this email below a few days ago. I then enquired with the chat service and they said that they have no ETA anymore, after initially saying that it would ship mid-feb.
Yesterday I got a call from a Vodacom store at which I was first on the waitlist for a cash sale. I originally was placed on the waitlist a day after sales opened on 18 December, as everything was sold out on that launch day. I eventually went to an iStore the next week and purchased my original 12 Pro and Pro Max, but was still on the Vodacom waitlist and didn’t realize. This was before I placed my iStore order online for the third 12 Pro that I wanted.
Well, the store said that they received ONE (!) Pro Max model only. The first stock since the launch on 18 December! I was looking for the 12 Pro, however I decided to get this 12 Pro Max that was the only one available, because I knew that stock isn’t coming any time soon from iStore. So I canceled my iStore order for the 12 Pro yesterday and got this 12 Pro Max.
So there really is no stock and I don’t think any time soon.

Maybe give Powerbite a call and ask if they have any in stock.
Looks like they have 1 dual sim blue Pro Max in stock.

Do these dual physical sim phones still have esim or do they cancel each other out?
No eSim. 2 x nano sim slots. They are only released in china/Hong Kong so they are grey imports, but I've got an 11 and have had no issues with it whatsoever and I've used it in a few countries.

DxOMark: iPhone 12 mini good enough for 14th place
The iPhone 12 mini was able to score the 14th overall spot on DxOMark's ever-changing table of tested phones thanks to good overall performance in photos and videos.
Accurate exposure (both scene and target) and fast and on point focus were quoted as strengths of the tiny iPhone, while noise and occasional blue casting in the white balance were issues.

Good images, somewhat limited dynamic range, occasional blue cast, as per the review. The iPhone 12 mini was able to score the 14th overall spot on...

Watched a video where a guy used the 30W charger on the MagSafe, the device took more than 4 hours to get to 100%
When connected via cable, 1h:41m
I have a normal desktop stand wireless charger at my desk and next to my bed. I have no idea why people would want to use the MagSafe because it is fundamentally used like a cable charger.
Speed makes no difference to me because I charge it when I go to bed, and don’t care if it takes an hour or five to do so.
I understand why apple introduced it, because the lightning port is going away. It kind of sucks because I enjoyed using a battery bank on a plain if I needed more power, but that’s where the MagSafe comes into play.

I just ended up giving up. Can't get the colour I want, keep receiving calls for the Pro Max which I don't want. I guess I'll wait for whatever is being refreshed at the end of the year.

Agreed. I’ll just spend however much for a batt replacement on my xs and stick with it.

I was going to get an iPhone 12 Pro Graphite (128 GB), I actually went to a store to place an order, the store didn’t have the colour and the model, I received a call that 1 iPhone 12 Pro Max in Pacific Blue was received and if I’d like that model. I refused. In typical SA fashion my order for the model I wanted was cancelled because I refused to take what they had received.The iStore have stock of the 12 Pro Max 128GB and 256GB models on their website now.

I won’t buy a product from iStore, funnily enough I spent an hour booking in apple accessory at the store for my iPad Pro.
