the old iphone chargers will still charge the phone they just won't charge it as fast as the new USB-C 20W chargers....at least that is my understanding

ETA

Also if you bought a new Ipad Pro this year you already have a 20W USB-C charger.

Sorry, the new charging cables will require a USB-C connection.

Ordered the pro from ATT and it's getting delivered today via fedex. Frankly surprised it's coming today, thought for sure I'd have to wait until next week

Can someone splain to me the benefit of the USB C cable vs my old lighting cables I used for my X & XS. Is it worth going buy a USB C block?

It charges faster. I would think going from the 5w block that apple included in their previous phones to the 20w block from them (or anywhere else online) you would see a big difference.

Posting from the new 12 Pro. Packaging is not what it used to be, not that that is a big deal to me but it’s definitely smaller than before. Phone seems sturdier than older models which could be the new glass? I’ll play around with the camera later this afternoon.

oh god yes. my 20W block with USB-C charges my 11 Pro Max to 50% in about 30 min. Another 45min to get to 100%. It's glorious

The graphite looks good too. I'm still glad I went with it.

No pics. Data is transferring. Definitely is heavier than my 8. Feels pretty solid.

Should I have received a new SIM card with the phone? Just opened the box and there isn’t one.


ETA: NM, the card was already inside the phone. Last time I got a new phone it was taped to the box.
