iPhone 12 Rumours & Release Date

Just heard from a friend that works in a Vodacom store, they apparently are only expecting stock early to mid December (Around the 13th). Not sure how much weight you are willing to put behind that, but I have been getting daily updates from him.

I see dates for the SE and 11 but all the 12s listed here just have a red X under planned stock for next 4 weeks?

The first column of red X's is current stock on hand. So no stock of 12 range and none planned for the next 4 weeks

I dont even get why they need to wait to try and sell the 11s? If I wanted one I would have bought one a year ago?

All they need to do is lower the price of the 11s and people will come. Give it to the networks that they can sell them on cheaper contracts until stock runs out.
 
iPhone 12 Pro Max receives ‘highest ever’ rating from DisplayMate, sets 11 records

DisplayMate has put the iPhone 12 Pro Max Super Retina XDR display through its highly detailed testing and the outcome isn’t surprising: Apple has once again earned “DisplayMate’s highest ever Display Performance Grade of A+” and “Best Smartphone Display Award.” However, going beyond the iPhone 11 Pro’s accolades last year, the 12 Pro Max has matched or set 11 smartphone display performance records.

DisplayMate just published its deep dive review of the iPhone 12 Pro Max display. As has become a tradition, this year’s iPhone has garnered another highest ever A+ rating from the firm but more notably it has hit a milestone for how many new records it’s broken or matched: 11. For comparison, the iPhone 11 Pro matched or set 9 display performance records last year and did the same for 8 with the iPhone XS Max in 2018.

Here are the smartphone display records that DisplayMate says the iPhone 12 Pro Max has set/matched:

Note that Numerical Performance Differences that are Visually Indistinguishable are considered Matched and Tied Performance Records.

· Highest Absolute Color Accuracy (0.9 JNCD) – Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect.

· Highest Image Contrast Accuracy and Intensity Scale Accuracy (2.19 Gamma) – Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect.

· Smallest Shift in Color Accuracy and Intensity Scale with the Image Content APL (0.2 JNCD) – Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect.

· Smallest Shift in Image Contrast and Intensity Scale with the Image Content APL (0.00 Gamma) – Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect.

· Smallest Change in Peak Luminance with the Image Content Average Picture Level APL (1 percent) – Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect.

· Highest Full Screen Brightness for OLED Smartphones (825 nits for 100% APL).

· Highest Full Screen Contrast Rating in Ambient Light (172 at 100% APL).

· Highest Contrast Ratio (Infinite).

· Lowest Screen Reflectance (4.8 percent).

· Smallest Brightness Variation with Viewing Angle (27% at 30 degrees).

· Highest Visible Screen Resolution 2.8K (2778×1284) – 4K Does Not appear visually sharper on a Smartphone.

A whole lot of no new information, but there may be a chance for a launch by the end of the month, but nothing concrete.

A whole lot of nothing really in the article. I could get the same answer as that from the Chat Service on the iStore website. But good that a site at least calls out this BS of a Core Group. Watch 6 and MB are already available.

What is funny is how the Macbook price in SA is so similar to the US prices yet the iPhone is almost double!?

Edit: Unless anyone knows a relatively easy way to pay dollar cash price and just import the unlocked 12? I have a feeling it would still end up cheaper even with duties and shipping. Where is the Orange Store days?:crying:
 
And their little Black Friday competition they have running all over social media right now is a lekker distraction from their absolute lack of stock or release information.
 
So the iStore loaded up the Apple branded MagSafe silicone cases and MagSafe wallets. So that’s a sign that they got a shipment recently maybe.

Probably doesn’t mean much so not getting hopes up but at least it’s something new.
