Mine says 23rd and it not shipped if it coming from China no chance it be here
It's a no-brainer considering the repair costs for the 12 series which are higher than the previous.

Alright for some. I have my 20W adapter already but the MagSafe charger is saying 3rd November whilst the phone is 9th

The MagSafe magnets don't appear strong enough to hold the attached accessory secure enough for an in car mount to work. Get ready for MagSafe v2 next year
:: EDIT :: See the end of the MKBHD vid above for the demo of the MagSafe strength.

Same with me. Phone doesn’t arrive till 9th.Alright for some. I have my 20W adapter already but the MagSafe charger is saying 3rd November whilst the phone is 9th
Magsafe not being very strong is a little worrying, also the magsafe card holder looks terrible... his demonstration where he puts it into his pockets, I wonder how many loose holders + cards will end up on the streets because people just blindly put it into their pocket and it falls off.
Here's hoping that the magnets for the accessories can be stronger, a charging phone holder for a car that is purely from the magsafe connector would be fantastic.

Looks like Belkin are planning a car mount: https://www.belkin.com/uk/p/P-WIC002/
Just doesn't seem strong enough to me, the magnets will need to be stronger. Also it doesn't look like it will charge wirelessly, it's just a mount so you'd still need to plug a cable in.

I'm seriously considering cancelling my white one and ordering a blue...
[Product] PINK not doing it for you?
Joking aside watching MKBHD's video and magsafe demonstration I'm seriously left wondering what the hell the point it in magsafe? The wallet is useless as demonstrated... the charger puck thing is just an inconvenient wireless charger as you need two hands to remove your phone rather than one.
The cynic in me thinks its just a desparate attempt by Apple to sell a load more accessories to their devoted fans, however Apple went to great lengths this year to show us that they are against creating excess plastic waste by removing chargers from boxes and making fancy videos demonstrating their green credentials. Most Perplexing!

Not quite my style!
The MagSafe adapter is to protect the licensing revenue they get from lightning cables when they go portless on the iPhone in a couple of years! Any of the benefits are just marketing to make it less blatant. Would have given them the benefit of the doubt if they didn't cripple Qi charging speed for non MagSafe chargers.
Just tried to answer the question "should I buy MagSafe charger" from a friend. You quickly realise how messed up the Apple ecosystem is right now.
Well... iPhone 12 includes a USB C to lightning cable in the box, but if you have a USB A to lightning cable you can still use that - you can use your old iPhone charger fine.
*confused look*
iPad uses USB C to USB C. Apple Watch uses USB A to Qi. iPhone 12 uses USB C to lightning or Qi or MagSafe. That's a different wire for each device... Oh and if you want to take a powerbank on holiday too then you'll need a MicroUSB along with USB A compatible wires.
