It's the Pro Max that gets pre-order on Nov. 6 and is available Nov. 13
I'm more interested in the 12 (pre-order Oct. 16) and 12 mini (preo-order Nov 6)

You're right its the Mini and Pro Max that starts 11/6
Also not sure how much I like the 65mm full frame equivalent telephoto lens.
52mm was fine since thats close to a 50mm lens. but 65? would've preferred if they bumped it out to 85mm.. would make for great portraits

Went with green for the 11 Pro Max but it's in a case 100% of the time.
Really like the green, but it limited me a bit in terms of case selection. Dunno if that matters to you

Looks like a great upgrade if you have anything other than the 11. It just doesn't seem like a huge leap over the 11

I've been waiting to get a new phone and with today's event I'm going with iPhone. I really wanted to get another Google phone but the Pixel 5 isn't even trying, IMO. Been an Android user for over 10 years and I'm excited to jump over to iOS.

However, there's just too much synergy between all my Apple devices. Not so much a walled garden as it is an enclosed dome now, but I'm okay with it.
Admittedly can't compete in terms of brand new vs. brand new for budget devices (~$400-500), but I think it's obvious that the pricing strategy is not focused on that.

Their site is fucked at the moment. Trying to prequalify and it fucks up every time I try and enter my info as part of the apple upgrade program. Can't get s specialist on chat, either, which means its happening to everyone.

You can prequalify already? I haven't received an email about that yet.
I was thinking about sticking with the 11 for a while but a same size hi res OLED screen in a smaller lighter phone is hard to resist.

I was mistaken. Not prequalify just check eligibility. The site is still messed up but the app works fine.
I’ll be getting the Pro Max with 256gb. The larger sensor and apple photoRAW is more than enough for me to upgrade. The magnetic back is a cherry on top.
Have to see if my wife wants the 12 or 12 Mini. Or if she just wants to keep her XR.

I have a 11 Pro Max in green 256GB.
I got an offer from Decluttr for $800 which seems pretty good. I would get the 12 Pro Max 256.

I think i'll be going with the blue. Something different. I was originally wanting to go with silver. Blue just seems more unique. Also the silver looked more white to me at least on the 11 Pro.

For the new phone. I have a shitload of 11 pro max cases I would need to get rid of.

The other option is someone can buy the phone and get all the cases included for $800.

what happened with that clutter offer?

It's still valid but I would have to be without a phone for an few days and that would suck.
