Does it bring anything else to the party, or is it just USB-C?
I charge mine off of my watch 7 charger and just alternate between my watch and airpods as I don't charge them both at the same time...

Well my 12's bent, just down in the bottom left corner, not even noticeable in the case..

Do we get special models here in the UK made from Aluminium, if so, is it also recycled?

You have to pay extra for Apples own USB-C 3.2 cable...
From MKBHD, the pro version of the phone, has faster transfer speeds.

No 1GB iCloud option still
Why would you want 1Gb?
Nit sure how much use that would be...
Pretty sure he means 1 TB. You either get 200 GB, or 2 TB. Personally I use around 250 GB in iCloud so 2 TB is bit of a waste for me.

Yeah got that on mine, I'm on 6A301 now

To be replaced with a USB-C one, tom
Yeh I agree but it was said tongue-in-cheek

So, all caught up..
Still torn on the phone front, I have the 12 currently though so upgrading for me brings more than some of those that are coming from last years models, I might wait until one of the guys at work gets his 15 Pro Max and see if they are a bit too large, I don't really do media consumption on my phone, that's what the iPads for, cameras on the base 15 are still better than i have, and if I go down the Barclays route then the difference over 2 years on any of the phones doesn't make any noticeable difference tbh..
Watch, I've got a 7, the 9 and Ultra 2 don't do anything for me.
Airpods case, not bothered about USB-C on that..
So, just a phone, maybe...

Not into Apple or new phone stuff at all but the ray tracing A17 pro got me to take a closer look. Interesting to see them put the focus on graphics in addition to the usual power and efficiency upgrades. Impressive get for the current gen console games but are the f2p/mtx crowd really going to go back to one off premium prices again?

The only thing I'm wondering about with these big game blockbusters, is how many GB do they take to download and is iOS good at handling 20-odd GB (guess) installs?

Meant 1TB!
Probably not, don’t forget all the 4K/high res textures will be stripped out. These will probably be rendered at 720p or an equivalent on a phone screen.

No word of a lie, but my Apple Watch Series 5 died literal minutes before the start of the event.
It was on 17% battery, put it on charge, it turned off and hasn't turned back on since - it's seemingly in an endless boot loop.
A strange coincidence
Won't be replacing it though any time soon, as I don't really get any value out of it. Especially since the battery life tanked on it.
I used to get 4 days out of a single charge but it's down to about a day and a half now.

Mine did that once, tried all of the button press combo's and that didn't work, stuck it on charge, left it overnight and was fine the next day..

It's not the same and can't be used in the exact same way. It is similar though.
Ultimately I decided to order a 15 pro max but now I’m wondering if I’ve made a mistake as even though my iPhone 11 Pro Max is showing its age. I know could soldier in for another year.
I’d also like an Apple Watch ultra 2 but I’ll wait as they tend to drop in market price quite fast.
