iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 12 Pro Max now Available to Order

 

To order, easiest way is through the iOs Apple Store app.

Note - you do not need an iPhone 12 Pro Max for LIDAR etc, the iPhone 12 Pro does this as well.

 

People distance function is utilized via the Magnification app.  Listen to how far people are away from you in real time.

Best way to order the HomePod Mini is via the iOS Apple Store app.

Logging in via a QR code when you Visit a Business

 

Whilst the iPhone camera does this which has QR Reading turned on already, this app I found for blind folks seems to do a much better job than the iPhone camera in locating the QR code.
