Does anyone know what happened to the dual charger shown in the keynote? It’s not listed on Apple’s online store now — I saved it as a fave last week...  

Me too. Where is the Duo??? LOL

And leather cases? How long will I have my new phone without a case? Maybe I'll and order a silicone case if it's going to be a while.

By omission, the headline suggests the Pro models do support mmWave 5G outside of the US...?

@jasonfj - No iPhone 12 model will support 5G mmWave outside the US at launch. The spectrum has not been negotiated / allocated in other countries yet. The headline is worded that way because it was previously speculated that only Pro models would support 5G mmWave, but worldwide. Instead, all iPhone 12 models support 5G mmWave, but only in the US.

Apple certainly pushed the 5G. 

Is there an effort to limit the far faster Wi-Fi? Why would any consumer want to pay the exorbitant cellular data rates?

@larryjw - Of course there is no 'effort' to limit Wi-Fi.  There are 2 incorrect assumptions in your question. For many people Wi-Fi is not always 'far faster', either due to where they live or because they don't work in a traditional office. If Wi-Fi is slow it is almost certainly due to the network, not the phone. Your other incorrect assumption is depending on where people live, cellular data rates are often not 'exorbitant' as you say.

As 5G becomes more prevalent and is able to more easily handle large amounts of users, it could certainly fully replace WiFi in many parts of the world. Also, 5G offers much higher security and privacy versus using public WiFi networks.

It is understandable that different countries are utilising varying bandwidths for different purposes and that in time things will likely improve but what I don’t appreciate is that the actual hardware itself is crippled for people outside the USA. If they are indeed creating different models completely omitting the mmWave radios/antennae then this is what I disagree with. Who is to say that 6 months down the line the UK for example opens up that frequency to support 5G. Without the hardware being capable we are left behind. Or I decide to move abroad to another territory that Supoorts it?! I hope this is a misunderstanding, or they should discount the models and they certainly should have specified at the launch because I imagine that would be a disappointment to many people. Personally I see little use for it and I’ve certainly no interest at this point particularly if the networks increase the service charge. But on principle I disagree.

My question is: what is that oval under the MagSafe circle on the clear cases.  Is it functional or decorative?

Good question...I wondered that myself. I wish they had options so the circle would match the color of the iPhone instead of being such a bright white. Maybe in future versions? Also, I hope that the wallet and sleeves are offered in silicon at some point as not everyone enjoys leather.
