UPDATE: Oct. 16,Laruan 2020, 9:57 a.m. ET The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro went on sale Friday and pricing was re-adjusted. No matter the carrier, the starting price for the iPhone 12 is $799. Now only those buying without a SIM card pay an additional $30 to start.
Apple released four new iPhones at its big event on Tuesday.
The iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max are all 5G-enabled. And they have another thing in common: You have to pay extra for basic accessories that used to come with every iPhone.
For the first time, Apple is no longer including a power adapter (often called a charging brick) or wired EarPod headphones with each phone. The adapter is $19. The cheapest headphones available from the Apple Store are the classic white EarPods for another $19.

Those numbers are deceiving. Credit: Apple / SCREENGRAB The listed starting price is $799 for 64 GB of storage, but onlyif you have AT&T or Verizon. If you have Sprint, T-Mobile, or go SIM-free with an unlocked phone, you'll be paying $829.
If you want a power adapter and headphones, that's another $38.
Just like the iPhone 12, the smaller mini is listed as starting at $699 with 64 GB of storage, but that bumps up to $729 for non-AT&T and Verizon users. The box also only comes with the phone and a cable — no brick or headphones, so tack on another $38for those.
The Pro version of the iPhone 12 starts with 128 GB of storage for $999(the biggest size available is 512 GB for $1,299) and the pricing is consistent no matter which carrier you use. But like the 12 and 12 mini, the Pro doesn't come with basic accessories, so that's another $38to the price.

The most feature-packed phone is the Pro Max and it's also the most expensive. It also starts with 128 GB of storage, but for $1,099— across all carriers. But don't let the "Max" in the name fool you: It still doesn't come with extras like a charging brick or headphones. So fork over another $38. If you truly max out the phone with 512 GB of storage, that'll run you $1,437.
And, of course, the price tag can climb even higher if you add a pair of $249AirPods Pro to your cart.
