There can easily be gadget for that if someone sees use for it, but i doubt it. There's already magnet popsocks coming for the iPhone so the magnets have to be very strong, because it need to hold your phone. So yes it's possible.

LMFAO...the bias on this article is absolutely laughable. Might as well make it clear that this is an opinion piece.
This is the exact type of article that Apple Obsessed Fandroids thrive in.
Comment section once again filled by them.
I LOVE IT!!!!

But cables provided by Apple are incredibly cheap quality, notorious for breaking within 6 months.
Never had this problem with cables bundled with Android phones (They've easily lasted me
2-3 years even though they had a warranty rating of 6 months.)

ImmortalFeb, 19 Oct 2020Unless you are happy with the base 64GB storage of the iPhone 12, the *real* price difference ... moreYep, I've come to the same conclusion. The pricing scheme seems to be pushing customers towards buying the Pro Max as there is only about $100 price difference between the same storage models of the std and pro 12 and the better cameras on the Pro Max would push those buying the 12 Pro towards the Pro Max. Due to the pricing i.e. $200 difference between std 12 and Pro Max with 128g storage, Pro Max this year is the better deal.
Previously, there was a $300 difference between the iphone 11 and 11 Pro with base 64g storage.

The iphone 11 line up is way better than the iphone 12 line up in many way.
inn terms of great chipset and pricing .The 12 line up lacks behind.

Unless you are happy with the base 64GB storage of the iPhone 12, the *real* price difference between the plain iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro models is actually $120, at least in the US ($829 vs. $999 for the 128GB version).
Those $120 are not only heavy on your pocket, but your hand too (Pro model is 15% heavier), but give you:
1. More premium feel (Stainless steel)
2. Better sunlight readability support (800 nits vs. 600 nits - Though auto max is same so...)
3. 3rd Camera
4. 4x Optical Zoom vs. 2x
5. LiDAR
6. ProRAW support in Camera recording
So it's really down to whether the above Camera features are important or not for the money asked.
I believe the iPhone 12 Pro model is positioned by Apple to serve the following main purposes:
1. Make the Pro Max more attractive and the price comparison favorable - It's only $100 more than the iPhone 12 Pro and you get (a) larger screen, (b) longer battery life and (c) a better camera setup (+ bragging rights!)
2. Have an offering in every pricing bracket and avoid a big gap (How would this be without the iPhone 12 Pro) as clearly shown below (Price from):
$1099 iPhone 12 Pro Max
$ 999 iPhone 12 Pro
$ 799 iPhone 12
$ 699 iPhone 12 mini
$ 599 iPhone 11
$ 499 iPhone XR
$ 399 iPhone SE

I gotta say they sound really great (so is the battery) but after 1 hour of usage, each earphone feels like an anchor to my ear causing discomfort. Point is, one mustn't pay a hefty price (250$) for such an accessory that's defected in terms of usability (lesson learned) & boy oh boy that charging case is like a grenade that bulges out of the pocket (thusly thrown in a bag instead).

that magnet is a cool, simple idea.
with my current phone, i have to stick a metal sheet on my phone so that it can be attached to a magnetic phone holder in my car. i know there's other non-magnetic holders, but magnetic one is the most convenient.
With the new iphones, i can stick the phone anywhere, fridge, other metalic holders. Is the magnet that strong?

Three things that keeps me away from iPhone
1. That ugly notch
2. No dedicated dual SIM slot hardware (e-SIM is useless)
3. No USB Type-C
