I understand what you’re saying, but then again I suppose there are only so many ways to style a rectangleAm I the only person who sees this as a pastiche of the 5s?

I’m thinking along the same lines...I think with the next catalogue updates of all the carriers, which usually happen in the 2nd week of every month, will we hopefully see discounted dealsThe 12 is amazing, but if I find an 11 Pro for under R1000 per month with decent data, I'm taking it. I wonder when we will start seeing deals?
For the first time iPhone pre-orders will go live simultaneously around the world
Typically Apple starts pre-orders for its new gadgets at midnight local time in each country. This year, however, Cupertino decided to launch the pre-orders simultaneously around the world.
For the US, the start is at 5:00 am PDT, same for Canada. Moving east to the UK, the launch will be at 1:00 pm BST, a bit further to Germany go time is at 2:00 pm CEST, then moving all the way to Australia the start is set for 11:00 pm AEDT.
Accounting for the different time zones, the start is simultaneous (noon UTC). This means that some of you may have to get up early, others may need to stay up if you want to be among the first to place an order.

Haha, all the best, I’d love to do the same but I just can’t, I used my 11PM without a case for a full day once and had a few close calls, it made me miss the days of phones using Faux Leather backs that were grippy.
Unlikely as the Pro devices got phased out. Retailers will just clear stock of whatever they have left in the upcoming month.The 12 is amazing, but if I find an 11 Pro for under R1000 per month with decent data, I'm taking it. I wonder when we will start seeing deals?

iPhone 12 series doesn't support 5G in dual SIM mode
A leaked listing on Apple’s Sales Web (ASW) page, which provides detailed information on all of Cupertino’s products, revealed an important detail on the new iPhone 12 series’ 5G connectivity. You won’t be able to use dual SIMs while on 5G. You can either have your regular SIM card and eSIM working at up to 4G LTE speeds or use one of them on 5G. Dual SIM connectivity will automatically drop new iPhones to 4G speeds.
