Not true, the lightning port is still the same.

Picked up the iPhone 12 Pro from Apple in Churchill Sq yesterday in a time allocated slot, I had to wait outside the store after Covid checks, and then the package was handed over. Very unlike the usual Apple customer experience.
I changed from a 8 so the absence of the finger print recognition and a button was worrying me. However the phone was easy to set up and the absence of these features was soon forgotten. The facial recognition works well and the phone is smoother and faster in operation than the 8.
Design is more angular making it easy to hold, and camera is very good.
Very pleased with it so far, more impressed than I thought I would be.

I’m hoping they are going to update the facial recognition to allow for two faces...one with a mask one without...I normally stick my shopping list on my phone...right pain in arse having to keep typing in the six digit number as I walk round Tescos
It is a real ball ache that. There was a short period a few weeks ago where it seemed to work regardless and so I assumed they’d made an adjustment to allow for face coverings, but I can only assume it was a bug and it would have opened up for any Tom, Dick or Harry.

Only works in Waitrose so I’m led to believe. Nice bonus when I switched data over from my 8 was that it transferred the four digit code number facility. I thought I’d have to change it to 6 numbers.

I thought I'd read that functionality was in an update, but I must have been mistaken because it doesn't happen.
It's very good at recognising me with sunglasses and a hat on.
A mask - not so much.

Be aware that the NHS Covid app may not run properly in some circumstances on this phone - solutions are available, though -
