First Impressions From New iPhone 12 and 12 Pro OwnersIt's already Friday, October 23, in Australia and New Zealand, which means some customers who purchased an
iPhone 12 or 12 Pro already have their new devices in hand. We've seen dozens of reviews of the
iPhone 12 and
iPhone 12 Pro from media sites, but now first impressions from regular Apple customers are available.

MacRumors forums, and for those awaiting their own new
iPhone or considering making a purchase, impressions from average consumers provide useful insight.
MacRumors reader Boardiesboi shared several photos and says that the lighter weight of the 12 Pro is immediately noticeable coming from an
iPhone 11 Pro Max. The color of the Pacific Blue ‌iPhone‌ is described as "beautiful," and Boardiesboi found the squared-off edges make the ‌iPhone‌ "nice to hold" and "less slippery."

who got the new Pro also in Pacific Blue said that he's glad he didn't chose the mini because the squared off shape makes the ‌iPhone 12‌ more compact. He also said the shiny edges of the ‌iPhone‌ attract a lot of fingerprints.
Twitter user
Kewal said the new
iPhone 12 Pro feels lighter than the
iPhone XS and appears to have a warmer display tint.
