Flagship Android phones prices getting higher because they make profit via the hardware with excuses like Qualcomm 5G modem expensive etc. Apple is now getting more revenue from Services, hence they no longer sell iphone at such high margin. Makes sense for Apple to get more people into their eco system so that they earn from Services revenue.
I thought I will get iphone and make the painful switch from Android to Apple. Apple software much more stable than Android and the support cycle much longer. But the 120Hz screen... I need faster refresh rate because I read a lot from phones... my eyes getting painful...
120Hz does help reading?Technically it just makes scrolling smoother, so depending on how much you scroll when you read? Hahaha... no idea, but I've tried 60hz, 90hz and 120hz refresh rate displays throughout this year and for me personally, the difference is negligible but maybe because I'm old and my eyes aren't as good as before

Just dig around sirim database and confirmed they have registered for the 12/12pro respectively. Expect the launch to be same like last year 11 seriess 1 week after US launch.
quoted from apple newsroom website
iPhone 12 Pro will be available in India, South Korea, and more than a dozen other countries beginning Friday, October 30.
if everything goes well, we shall expect it to launch on october 30th.
I'm going back to the smaller pro size this round, pro max simply too big to carry around
Screen protection wise will still get imos sapphire glass, always best.

But the Pro Max has the better cameras this round too, apparently. Not a selling point for you?
"The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max would seem to have the same camera setup — three rear lenses aided by a LiDAR sensor. But even though each phone has a wide, ultrawide and telephoto lens, Apple has has changed the optics ever so slightly. On the iPhone 12 Pro, the main camera now features an f/1.6 aperture, which should let in more light when shooting photos or video. (Apple promises a 27% improvement.) The iPhone 12 Pro Max has the same 12MP camera with the same aperture, but the sensor itself is larger, meaning an even bigger improvement for low-light photos. Both phones have the same 12MP ultrawide angle lens with an f/2.4 aperture and a 120-degree field of view. But the telephoto lenses are different — the iPhone 12 Pro has an f/2.0 aperture while the iPhone 12 Pro Max's is f/2.2. More to the point, they have different focal lengths — 52mm for the iPhone 12 Pro and 65mm for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. That leads to different zoom capabilities, with the iPhone 12 Pro offering a 4x optical range to the iPhone 12 Pro Max's 5x range."
