iPhone 12 Rumours & Release Date

[capd]

Best/value slim case for the iPhone 12 Pro? Black preferably. Prefer harder/matte plastic than silicone for easier sliding into pockets.

Slim as possible please to keep up with the one-handed use of my X. I think the 12 is 1mm wider.

And screen protectors? Limited stock on Takealot.

Here’s what I’ve ordered thus far. Will return the ones I don’t use.

I went to those Electronic shops and collected a couple cases. If you some in your area it would be worth to check out.

These case/protector combos look decent, but why the price difference? Thought 12 and 12 Pro are all compatible?

Rather happy with NXTech slim case with see through back. Pro Max size.

Ah okay. And now with the Xmas period on our doorstep, takealot will only deliver next week. And I’m not going to hide this bad boy in the box any longer lol. Looks like I might be heading to the istore...

I was thinking of trading in my 10s but got bummed out by the fact they only give you a gift card in return, and not cash. I’m now rethinking this...

What have the rest of you done with your previous iPhones? Not sure how safe and viable it is to try and sell on for eg. Marketplace.

Took mine in for a trade in yesterday. Was told I could only get a voucher because their “upgrade agents” only started working after 11h00 only. So told the bloke to get bent.
Will try to sell my Xr on Carbonite but will stear well clear of Marketplace as there are so many scammers on there looking to rob sellers (tried selling a drone and got a 100% scammer rate on people attempting to rob me - 9 scammers in total)

Does anyone know if the iPhone 12 Pro sold at the iStore is the 5G variant?

 

[RudderVator]

The only variant that exists is the 5G one.
You will however only get 5G service from MTN in South Africa.

Ah I see. I actually knew that... had a brain fart. Thank you!

What's a rough resale value for the XR and what sort of trade-in value are they offering you?

Say what, so will it not support Vodacom 5G or is it a timed exclusive?

5G on the iPhone 12 will only work on MTN, for now

MTN is the only network authorised to enable 5G on the new iPhone 12 this year, but Vodacom said its subscribers will also get 5G in due course.

I believe only MTN 5G network met die mark for Apple to certify it.

Anyone have a situation with stuttering video during playback? Took some family videos and two of the videos have a weird slowdown like I've paused the video. If I scrub later in the clip, everything is fine

What video recording options are you using. I can try to see if I can reproduce it for you.

It was a little hot so wondering if that caused some issue. All the videos are over 5min long.

I recorded 3 5min+ videos and couldn't reproduce it. Using 12PM

Same here. Wondering if the phone was hot or something :/

Will keep an eye on it. Thanks for trying and Happy New Year!

Reports on macforums when taking consecutive photos, like 300 in bursts the phone over heats.

Hi. Anybody recently upgraded to the graphite 12 Pro Max at the Sandton City or Sandton Drive iStore? My upgrade is this next week Saturday and I just need to know if they have stock. Thanks
