iphone 12 + new homepod

I'm in NYC, you would think VZW would be strong.

Yeah, that's strange. Verizon has mmWave there, but as I'm sure you know that's notoriously fussy regardless of carrier.

i personally believe that it's totally useless to purchase new 12 iphone, I mean, i's not kinda updated, just the design

For whom is it useless?

It's not a giant update, but Apple isn't expecting people to buy new iPhones every year (apart from the people on the upgrade program, of course). It'd be a big leap over my iPhone XS from a couple of years ago in most respects: significantly better camera quality (plus a third cam and LiDAR if it's the Pro), 5G, a faster processor, longer battery life, a tougher body, a higher-resolution and higher-contrast display... you get the idea.

If it weren't that a pandemic reduces the desire for upgrades (I'm not leaving home nearly as often), I'd have an iPhone 12 Pro.
