    Was that announced today as well? I missed the start of the show.

    No was announced at last months event.

    I presumed it could be pre ordered after today’s event as they were holding out releasing the A14 chip until they announced it in the iPhone but it’s still “coming in October” while the 12 series can already be pre ordered.

    Weird.

    Is tax factored in to this?

    The 12 Mini is €815 in Ireland.

    Take New York for an example it would be $760.98 including sales tax of 4%. Irish pricing includes 21% VAT.

    A lot of complaints about not going to usb-c, I honestly don’t remember the last time I plugged in my iPhone to change it - wireless charger beside the bed, one in the kitchen and one build into the car so just never need to.

    The US quotes price without VAT. Most states have a different sales tax and I found electronic stores always quoted ex vat in store and you added the extra at the till.

    Is Dollar prcing an error?

    Not the same spec and is €409, so how is that sub €400?

    Just took a look, the 12 Pro Max is 6.7″ and 11 Pro Max is 6.5″ - so slightly bigger, no?

    12 Pro Max is 6.33 inches x 3.07 inches x 0.29 inches

    11 Pro Max is 6.22 inches x 3.06 inches x 0.32 inches

    It never was, it had a limited release (3 countries I think). I thought the mini would change that but apparently not.

    Right and you’re factoring in that we pay 21% sales tax as the reason for the difference in prices?

    Pre VAT: €643.85 current conversion rate $756

    Not a major issue compared to $699

    Were you hoping to go for one of the Pros?

    I have always went for the flagship model yeah. Not the larger Max/Plus models though, always too big for me. Same goes for this year, it's either the 12 or 12 Pro. Or don't buy one at all and hope for 120Hz in a year :eek:

    €45 for the MagSafe Charger is a fairly pricey :eek:

    I'm sure there'll be plenty of 3rd party options on it.
