iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPad Air 4 Now Available

The girl down below wished there was TouchID on the iPhone, must be terrible right now to have FaceID only, I myself bumped into this problem several times, for me though it was easier because I just pulled the mask away to register for ApplePay.
She on the other hand has no easy way to do this with the mask under her headscarf.

Apple might be introducing TouchID back into the iPhones (Top models) next year if Covid stays around, I for one hope they actually consider this and bring it back.






Edit: MR now includes this picture in the article as the first picture, thumbs up for MR after I posted this picture above earlier.

The iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and fourth-generation iPad Air are now available in stores and arriving to customers around the world.




Apple has shared a Newsroom post ('https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/10/iphone-12-iphone-12-pro-and-ipad-air-are-here/') with a range of images to celebrate the launch of the new products. Over the next 24 hours, the Newsroom post will apparently be updated with photos from around the world.




Our own forum members have started a number of threads for tracking and following their iPhone 12 / 12 Pro orders around the world.

Our U.K. readers have been particularly active ('https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/uk-iphone-12-12-pro-12-pro-max-2020-orders-and-dispatch-thread.2251576/') this morning, posting images of their iPhone 12 pickups at Apple Stores, and deliveries.

He describes his new 256GB Silver iPhone 12 Pro as "hella nice!" with a premium feel.

Yes, but not with traditional face coverings. You are correct - I dont know what she was wearing before. I thought about it before I saw you post. Will edit mine.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. Outside of pandemics, most women who wear hijabs don't also cover their faces. I assume you're thinking of Burkas.

Maybe you missed that Iphone 12 has no touch id.

Maybe you missed that this was an Apple forum.

That girl is wearing a headdress. Muslims women way ahead on the curve. FaceID was never working for this girl when in public.

FaceID works fine with hijabs.

love that precious cargo photo, i would like to think my 12 pro is on that pallet

Crazy, right? To think that massive pallet of iPhones is traveling to customers across the globe. Incredible to think about how many iPhones they produce and sell as one of the popular smart phones in the world.

Maybe you missed that Iphone 12 has no touch id.

Pithy jokes have better impact.

Not sure about this. The way TouchID works in iPad Air seems to require working around the cellular antenna which would be difficult with the lack of space on iPhone.

I feel the lack of TouchID during COVID is misdirected. Everyone’s chief concern is having to input your passcode with a mask on. Social distancing isn’t just wearing a mask and staying 6-ft apart, it’s staying home as often as possible. Making hard choices like not seeing family for thanksgiving.

Today, I pick my blue iPhone 12 up from the SoHo store in Manhattan. I pre-ordered a little late so I wasn’t able to get it at my local Brooklyn store. I’m excited for it. I have had the iPhone SE2, which served as a refresher since I had been using Android devices for the last couple of years. I welcome the flat edged design. I hope everyone enjoys their new devices.
