MagSafe is sweet, and I think it's a smart move for Apple to launch it this year in preparation for the anticipated "portless" iPhone. By the time they do that, the MagSafe ecosystem will be ready for it, and people won't complain as much about getting the phone right on the charging pad.

#232Earlier quoted context omitted.
Even though "Android had it X years ago" is mostly a meme by now, I can't resist: The Nexus 5 had magnets that automatically aligned it on a Qi charging dock 7 years ago.
Oh! Oh! Oh! I want to play. The Palm Pre had a magnets to align wireless charging 11 years ago.

#234Wow, the mini is only 7.7mm larger than the 2016 iPhone SE. Apple actually listened and made new powerful compact sized iPhone. Too bad i recently dropped my 2016 SE and got the new SE which sucks..

#235I feel like I'm going insane. On every single model revealed today, there is a differently-colored patch on the right side of the phone, below the power button. What is it? It's not the SIM card slot - that's on the left side. It's not a new TouchID sensor - the website doesn't even mention it at all. And yet it exists in every single render.
No, the SIM card slot is on the right hand side.

#236Shame. I was hoping they would develop a completely washable phone due to corona.

#237I wish the iphone 12 mini was smaller :/ Seems like the best option for us compact loving people though
If you can live with 30 minutes of battery life. Yes Im being hyperbolic, battery life at full load is going to suffer tremendously, especially when you consider the degradation of battery performance over the years.

#238Wireless charging... Now with a bulky connector that attaches itself to the phone using magnets! Did we just innovate ourselves all the way back to Magsafe that laptops (used to) have since 2006?

#240There are two reasons I haven't switched over from Android. I wish Apple would try and fix them: * The lack of a way to move Whatsapp messages between platforms. (They'd just need to allow Whatsapp to use Google Drive for backup on iOS) * The lack of (physical) dual-SIM.
