Thank you AMG Power for the update.

I feel MagSafe is a superb new money making machine for Apple and this is besides the ton of other assessories which they are selling showcasing the compatibility.

If you think about it, MagSafe is something you don’t require at all (at the moment for sure). It’s based on Qi charging which will not charge your phone at more than a 15W charging speed. Sure, it’s double the charging speed of most normal Qi chargers, but not essential for the purpose. Simply buy a 18/20W or higher fast charging brick with a cable and charge your iPhone much quicker.

Apple’s marketing team is also really amazing, hats off to them. They could sell snow to an Eskimo

Cheers

This seems to be the case with Authorised Apple Premium Resellers as well. I pre-booked a 12 Pro through the Unicorn Online Store on 23rd Oct and till date I have got no update on when the phone will reach me. I visited the Unicorn Store today and apparently the Gold and Pacific Blue colours are the highest demand and so run out of stock. They have other colours available though. It will apparently take another week for new stock to arrive.

Guys, did you check out the iPhone 12? What did you think of it. I had a chance fiddle with it today. I'm finding it fatter than desired. The 11, and iterations before, that were a joy to hold

I don't see anyone complaining about the bathtub notch. None of the YouTube reviewers seem to have a problem with it too. However for an Android phone, forget a bathtub, even a teardrop notch is a big crime. Reviewers are not ready to accept anything less than a punch hole camera. This really baffles me.
As for me, I'm probably not buying an iPhone anytime in the near future. My wife had an iPhone 4 and I had an iPhone 6+. We just prefer the convenience (as well as the price) of an Android.

Since the notch is 3 years old, you will find rants on it, around the iPhone 10 time reviews. Everyone has moved on/gotten used to it.

We cannot blame all of them either. iPhone has an Infrared FaceID sensor, Flood Illuminator and DOT projector. These parts need unobstructed view in front(same reason why screen guards for iPhone have a gap on FaceID sensor). But on an Android phone we don't find these and keeping that in perspective, except for a punch-hole, all other notches look ugly.

I'm not an Apple sympathizer. Actually I hate Apple's money making tactics and never used an iPhone. But this, I kind of agree with Apple's point-of-view.

Android has moved on to pop up cameras and then to punchole cameras. What I'm saying is why everyone is okay with Apple dishing out an outdated look at an exorbitant price but pouncing on any budget Android phone for doing it at a low price.

My point was different as explained above.

I guess it also due to the competition, with android you can buy a phone without a notch or even a teardrop camera. With apple there is no second choice, it's take it or leave it, so no point discussing it.

If I had to mince your statement, not everyone is okay, which is why you are complaining!
Many reviewers want to be in Apple's good books, hence ignore. Some have moved on or else they would be called repetitive.
But I do get your point and my view( an iOs worshiper) would be, I ignore it or have gotten used to it or it never bothered me in the first place. There are some things which you love and you tend to ignore the minor kinks. Or it could be a case of ' I have paid so much, I better adjust to it'.
If someone has found an alternative, good for them ,but someone like me who refuses to find alternatives or adjust to alternatives, we tend to live with it.

Briefly checked out the iPhone 12 at local reliance store, felt it very snug to hold. Maybe the flat sides do help and surprisingly light to hold too. Screen is very nice and the camera as usual brilliant. Only the sticker price in India is a bummer, especially now that the pack does not come with charger or earpods, apple should have reduced the price at least by 10k and made the retail price more inline with other countries.

Maybe because there is more than just a selfie camera in that notch.
