Its hard leaving thecoli but I gotta find a way...
Yeah I heard stories of the battery life being less than the 11. I'm sure the 12 max would beast.

Just keep the pro. shyts only $200 more and you get more Ram and that extra camera. To me it’s worth it. Turn that feature off.
what color ya rocking?
After a long time android user I'm looking to get an iphone. My question is which one should I get? I don't want 5G so I'm in between an iphone 11 or an iphone 11 pro. I like the oled scree and smaller size of the pro model but, I also like the lower cost of an 11. Or should I try to buy an pro model used and call it a day?

I got the 11 pro max last year and it came with the 18W big ass charger. Charge up for like 20 mins and hit the door

man, the magsafe 2 is a colossal waste of money since it does not fast charge.
USB-C with the 18 or 20W charger are both wins and the difference between the two is maybe like 1 or 2% over a half hour so it's negligible.

ALSO, it looks like the iphone 12 pro is having major shortages, which doesn't surprise me, cuz it took me 3 days of refreshing the browser before I could pick one up in person the same day. now I'm glad I did opt for the in store pick up.

iPhone 12 Pro orders are now slipping into late November and early December. Apple was reportedly taken by surprise by demand levels for the more expensive of the two models which went on sale last month.
One reason for the extended production times is said to be shortages of one or two specific components in the Pro models …
Bloomberg reports that Apple is struggling to get hold of enough power management chips, despite having multiple suppliers.
Apple Inc. is grappling with a shortage of vital chips that manage power consumption in iPhones and other devices, people with knowledge of the matter said, complicating its ability to meet holiday demand for the latest version of its marquee gadget.
It’s unclear to what extent the bottleneck may limit iPhone availability during its crucial launch quarter, typically Apple’s busiest […]
Increasing demand for silicon across a range of products and supply-chain disruptions from Covid-19 are the main causes of the shortage, according to the people. Main Apple chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. said in October that 5G smartphones require 30% to 40% more chip content versus 4G. That and uncertainty over the course of the pandemic is spurring customers to cache components for fear of running out, especially after major smartphone maker Huawei Technologies Co. had stocked up massively ahead of a September deadline for U.S. sanctions.
Apple often negotiates deals with suppliers which provide either iPhone-exclusive production lines, or priority over other customers. Bloomberg reports sources saying that in this case Apple is likely to have priority agreements in place, but this doesn’t appear to be sufficient to keep up with demand.
Nikkei suggests that LiDAR components are also in short supply, and that Apple is addressing the issue in part by repurposing iPad parts.
Demand for the iPhone 12 Pro has been much stronger than Apple anticipated. Making matters worse, the company has been hit by supply constraints for some components, such as power chips and lidar components used for depth-sensing imaging functions, Nikkei Asia learned. In response, Apple has reallocated some components intended for iPads to the iPhone 12 Pro, two people familiar with the matter said.
CEO Tim Cook referenced the issue in general terms during the most recent earnings call.
Supply issues for the iPhone are “not a surprise” because Apple has just begun to ramp up production, the CEO said. “It’s hard to predict” how long the supply constraints will last, he added.

to squeeze an additional $40 out of suckers. and that doesn't include the extra $20, you'd need to spend on a brick. here's a video where dude compares the magsafe on the 20w charger against usb-c on the 20w and 18w chargers and the 5w brick.
