    Your message at the end about people being careful / not really needing to update their phones during a pandemic felt genuine and heartfelt. You didn't have to do it, but by doing so I have so much more respect for the verge staff and team. We all don't need to get the latest and greatest, especially now. I like how you highlight that fact.
    This review was stellar all around! The cinematography and information delivered was amazing. You are always one of my top choices when new tech arrives.

On top of that, every phone that swapped got a $250 credit so our bill is technically free for like the next 8-10 months. Also, traded in my iphone X for $550 so essentially got my 12 pro for $200. Definitely worth the upgrade and loving mine so far!

      Really we’re way beyond that at this point at the rate of technology advancing and how good phones are. Apple isn’t expecting somebody with an iPhone 11 to get an iPhone 12. They’re expecting to get somebody with a 6s or 7 Plus or many of these Pre iPhone X phones to see these and want to upgrade. Those are massive leaps and changes for a lot of people. Because in the end it’s all about consumers upgrading. Not the very very small group that get the new phone year to year.

      @@Edwin.X because the rumors were right regarding the iPhone 12, specifically the integration of mag safe and a non 120hz screen, the only thing the leaks got wrong were the new airpods, so given that the next iPhone will most likely have that higher refresh rate but also move to usb-c I think the wait would be worth it.
