On the 12th, KT announced that pre-orders for the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Mini will be held from the 13th to the 19th, with the official release on the 20th. Pre-orders will also be accepted from midnight on the KT Shop.

On KT’s official online mall, KT Shop, the first 2,000 customers will be offered a '1-hour delivery' service starting at midnight on the 20th. Residents of Seoul can receive their new iPhones at 1 a.m. on the 20th through the 'Midnight Express.' Customers in the metropolitan area and the five major metropolitan cities nationwide will be served by the 'Good Morning Express,' delivering by 10 a.m. on the 20th.

KT also operates an iPhone trade-in program. Along with ‘Super Change,’ which compensates up to 50% of the original price after two years of purchase, KT has launched ‘Super Chance R,’ a one-year replacement program. Super Chance R is a rental program that allows customers to switch to a new iPhone anytime after one year with monthly payments equivalent to the 24-month installment plan. Super Chance R also includes the ‘KT AppleCare Pack’ free of charge.

The KT AppleCare Pack is a partnership product between KT and Apple, including ‘AppleCare,’ which covers up to two damages every 12 months, and ‘iCloud 50GB.’ The monthly fee is 8,000 KRW for the iPhone 12 Mini and 11,000 KRW for the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is much more reasonable than purchasing separately.

If subscribing to the iPhone 12 Mini 64GB with Super Chance R, customers pay the same monthly installment of 41,880 KRW for 24 months and additionally receive AppleCare services worth about 8,000 KRW per month and 50GB of iCloud storage. Super Chance R subscriptions are available until January 31, 2021.

KT has improved the insurance subscription process for customers purchasing the iPhone 12 as an unlocked device. Previously, customers had to visit stores or call dedicated insurance centers and submit complicated documents such as proof of purchase to enroll in insurance for unlocked devices. Now, iPhone 12 unlocked buyers can subscribe immediately through the MyKT app or website.

Hyunseok Lee, Executive Vice President of KT’s Device Business Division, said, "The history of the iPhone in Korea, which started with KT in 2009, has now reached its 12th year and continues with the iPhone 12. We hope customers will experience the iPhone 12 Pro Max and Mini at KT, the renowned iPhone brand, offering various benefits such as Super Chance R, KT AppleCare Pack, and Netflix Choice."
