  • 'iPhone 12' announcement in October, 5G models ship in November claims report

    I think this is the first I've heard about separate 4G LTE and 5G variants of the same models. Another whole set of SKUs to worry about.

    3-4 colors
    3 storage size options each
    Are there still different models depending on the carrier???
    Different models for different regions worldwide
    Now double all that because of 5G/No 5G variants

    That's an awful lot of SKUs
    More interestingly, how does this square up with the iPhone Model Numbers that were leaked last month? There were 9 of them?

    If there are separate 5G and LTE models, I expect the Pro will be 5G and the non-Pro (Amateur?) will be LTE only. That might sort out the number of SKUs leaked.

    Still, as with everything iPhone, can't count it as fact until Tim is holding it on stage (even if only metaphorically). Although if he isn't holding it on stage by the end of September, I guess we can agree the announcement won't be before October.

    "AirPower" is back from the dead? I must have missed that one. And I already gave up and bought a wireless charger with AppleWatch puck.

    ...and unlike Apple's moronic design, you can actually plug in the mouse to charge it while you're using it - a truly revolutionary concept!
    Yeah, but it's not so easy to use left-handed. Swings, roundabouts.

    Currently, 27” iMacs are listed as unavailable for pick up at my closest Apple store, and the expected delivery date for shipping for the highest end models is more than a month from now. 

    I’m hopeful that the limited availability is because new 27” models are eminent, but I know that it could just be a blip in the supply chain causing the issues. 
    Mine is saying delivery on 10th August. That's a Monday. Odd timing for an announcement - Macs are usually in the store day of announcement, but it could just be a placeholder. Or it might be "orders start now" and they have a few days before they start shipping.

    Still, that kind of delay is very suggestive of a new release, rather than a supply chain glitch. We shall have to wait and see.

    The Mac's best days are behind it now.  And I'm not coming along for the ride, I'm done.  I'll still work on the ARM Macs for clients, but I will never own one.  And I'm going to be brushing up on my Linux and Windoze support skills, looks like I'm going to need it. 

    Apple just killed Macintosh.
    HA! I've read this SO MANY TIMES over the past 30 YEARS there's no way I can't just laugh now. DOOMED.
