    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.

    • @anthonyt425

      The information aspect could've been better imo but I actually found myself loving how the end was concluded and agree with the sentiment of not spending money for a phone purchase in the middle of the pandemic.

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!

    Paid $700 for it and am really happy with it. Mostly I’m happy w the price for the type of phone I got bc I haaaaate spending full price for anything
    I hope this phone will serve me well the same way the iPhone 8+ did for 5 yrs

    A lot of people undersell LiDAR but I think it’ll be a game changer. It’s not just autofocus and placing things inside your room or better Snapchat filters. It can map a whole entire room and you can design based on that. There’s a ton of professional implementation for that I think. Which professional implementation will over 3-5 years trickle down to consumer implementation. So right now it might not be important but by 2025 or so we could be like, “Wow I’m so glad Apple implemented LiDAR all those years ago” honestly.
