Welcome to the Tech Meme Ride Home for Tuesday, October 13th, 2020. I'm Brian McCullough.

Today, all the details from the iPhone 12 event.

PC shipments go into the category of

Doing Well in COVID times.

Disney announces a rework to emphasize its streaming strategy

and following up on that whole FoxCon factory in Wisconsin thing.

Hint, it looks like vaporware.

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

All righty then the iPhone 12 lineup is here. Let me give you the top line

and then we'll drill down. First of all four new phones in total from the smallest and cheapest to the biggest and most expensive

We've got the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 and then the iPhone 12 pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.

We'll find it useful to group them together in pairs like that going forward.

The 12 mini starts at $699 and the 12 starts at $799.

They're basically the identical phone,

just two different sizes.

And then the 12 pro starts at $999 for 128 gigabytes, while the 12 Pro Max starts at 1,000

99.

Obviously you get more storage on each of these

if you pay a bit more.

All of the phones are available. on each of these if you pay a bit more.

All of the phones are available for pre-order on October 16th,

but confusingly, when they're actually available to ship is all Cattywampas. The 12 and 12 pro ship October 23rd
