I ordered the 12 Pro, not sure I fancy paying £50 for an Apple mag safe case though.

Same. Will probably get magsafe for the car when they come out so that might sway me...

I’ve just ordered myself a 12 Pro Max.

How? According to the Apple Store pre-orders open 6 Nov.

We use a Mobile Broker in work, we tell him what we want, he deals with EE / Apple. Or rather we tell him what we want, he tells my Boss the cost, he weeps a bit but it’s usually okay.

He can order them now, but they’ll be delivered the same day as everyone else.

I’ve ordered a 12 pro. Looks like a nice upgrade but my main motivation for changing from the 11 pro max is I find it a bit too big. Had a iPhone X before and think 6.1” will be the sweet spot for me. Also 11 pro max seem to be fetching and easy £750 on eBay so with wife’s currys voucher discount should be a smallish upgrade cost

The HomePod I can’t get excited about. Had the original HomePod and I can’t moan at the sound quality but I find Siri absolutely useless. Amazon and google are light years ahead with their assistants

Damn, I wish we had that sort of system - where I work the current standard issue phone is an iPhone 7 and there's a 9-page PDF to 'help' you through the company purchasing system in order to get it. I added a £10 screen protector to my order (as it was in the options catalogue) and a finance manager rejected it as unnecessary, so I had to spend another 30 minutes redoing my order without it (more cost to the company than the screen protector). Good old private sector efficiencies :p

As I understand it, all iP12 models get the full-fat 5G, ie they’ll operate on standard 5G and mmWave – Apple have tested them on over 100 different networks worldwide, so it should hop seamlessly from one to another depending on what happens to be available.

My understanding is that only the US phones will support mmWave. Look at these two tech specs pages from Apple (US & UK), and scroll down to Cellular and Wireless / Mobile and Wireless. According to these pages the UK phones don't have mmWave as a supported band.

US: https://www.apple.com/iphone-12-pro/specs/

UK: https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone-12-pro/specs/

Typically, not much info from Apple, but everything I've seen leads me to believe that only US phones will have mmWave. Not that it really matters in the UK right now anyway.
