Poll: *** The Official iPhone 12 (12 mini/12/12Pro/12Pro Max) Thread ***

[Richard - London]

Does anyone know whether, if I pay on Apple finance, I can pay off the balance in a few months time rather than over the full two years? I'm buying a house at the moment so cashflow is a little tight, but it should ease up in a few months and I'd rather pay the remainder off.

Yes, just call them up to pay it off.

Yes you can overpay at any time - the monthly payments will remain the same until paid off in full though (over a shorter period)

Well my bank declined my phone order via apple pay but let the phone case order after through! Hopefully doesnt cost me my pre-order, now awaiting a call back from the Bank (I'm guessing they think the payments suspicious). Oh the joys!

Just pre ordered the mini in blue (128) from amazon. Can’t wait to be back on Face ID

same here but via Apple store

Would have got it from Apple but decided on amazon because of their 5 month payment plan thingy. Love the blue, definitely the best colour.

Yep, I’ve had the same just for the phone. Been on hold to Apple for the last hour as my bank blocked the payment due to Apple Pay being easily used in fraud... I even called them before to say I was going to make a payment to Apple today.
Now have to ensure payment goes through with Apple. But they’re inundated supposedly. Fuming.

Edit: might be sorted now as apparently they redid the payment. But I’ve had no confirmation email. Fingers crossed

I’m liking the look of the new MagSafe duo charger but at £129 it’s a bit steep lol.
I’m assuming that there will be 3rd party MagSafe duo chargers at some point. So may hold on and wait to see what prices they are at.

Aaannndddd finally my 12pro 256gb that I ordered a few weeks back is on its way to me. Should have it by 9th Nov so looking forward to that .

My bank blocked it, still on hold. Ridiculous.

Same thing happened to me 2 years back as well.

Can’t be any worse than my 2020 SE

 

[Chris1712]

Bit worried that my transaction is still pending on my credit card. When will they take the money? Order is in but it’s still just ‘processing’ on the Apple site.

 

[Mr_Cool]

Curious about 12 mini battery.

Out of the whole lineup thats the only handset that peaks my interest.

I'm so over big hefty phones.

Hopefully it remains apart of future lineups.

 

[Captain Chaos]

Well no blocks from my bank stopping the purchase. They advise that the amount is too high for apple pay?

Next stop, another long queue waiting to speak to somone else from Apple I would imagine.

It’s nice being back on FaceID but when out the house wearing a mask, it’s a pain.

 

[Cryfreeman]

Do I need to put the charger back in the box if sending in my IPhone 11 to apple for trade in??

 

[nantucket66]

I'm getting my iPhone 12 Pro Max a week today in theory. I already have a 12.9 iPad Pro - will the charger (USB C 18w) off the iPad work on the phone OK?

It will work fine, just not at the full 15w the phone can handle via the updated 20w adaptor.

Thanks, so I'll need a 20w adapter if I want to do fast charge?

 

[Chris1712]

It appears the 12 is capped at 18w anyway. It’s really not worth changing to anything, 18w is only a nats whisker faster than good old 12w USBA which you’ve probably got dozens of lying around the house / car.
