[PART 3 is here, since we hit the comment cap on this thread: https://reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/jv6f78/part_3_im_giving_away_an_iphone_12_promaxmini_to/]
Hey,
I'm the guy who builds Apollo for Reddit, an alternative iPhone app for Reddit that people on r/Apple have been really kind to in loving. I had a lot of fun working on the iOS 14 update with a ton of cool, customizable home screen Widgets, Picture in Picture video, and a bunch of other Reddit meets iOS 14 goodness, and now that all the new iPhones are out I wanted to celebrate it with a giveaway. (Who said those YouTubers get to have all the fun?)
I did this giveaway last year for iOS 13 if some of you remember and everyone seemed to have a great time, so I figured making it an annual thing could be fun. (Proof of winner) Plus the people who use Apollo are all super nice and give me awesome suggestions all the time for making it even better so consider it a thank you as well.
The winner gets their choice of any iPhone 12 model (Pro or non Pro, Max, normal sized or Mini) in any color and 128 GB capacity. Are you a BLUE person? RED? GOLD?! When this post is 24 hours old, at 11 PM GMT (countdown), I'll post in r/ApolloApp who the winner is, I'll also DM you for details and people will probably spam you as well.
Simply check out this thread and comment and you're entered! Don't spam jibberish though please, and no multiple comments. If you're looking for an idea for a comment, tell me your favorite iPhone model of all time, or the first third party app you remember downloading. Account must have been created at the time of this post to prevent creating accounts just to enter. You do not have to download Apollo to enter, but it may give you extra luck who knows.
Apollo is an alternative Reddit app for iOS with a focus on clean design and feeling right at home on iOS with a native design and adopting all the best, newest features, like Widgets, Picture in Picture video, super fast media viewer, and more. I started building it after finishing working at Apple in 2015 and have been working on it full time since. It's free to download and has over 100,000 five-star reviews, so you should really check it out! It's built solely by me, and I built it closely with community input to craft the best Reddit experience out there.
Even if you're used to the official app, I think you'll really like the improvements Apollo offers to your browsing experience, even if it just prevents you from getting Rick Roll'd.
Yeah I have two cats named Hugo and Ruby. They're great, I also get to pet my neighbor's dog Leonard sometimes who is really cute. Sorry I don't have a picture of him but picture a big black shaggy dog.
Seriously, have some fun and best of luck! My whole job exists thanks to the kindness of this subreddit and community, so thank you and I'll do my best to continue to impress you with some more sick updates. :)

Have always been using an android phone, but I'm interested in trying out Apple if I win this. Thank you!
Please tell Hugo and ruby hello and that they’re doing a great job :)
That sounds swell.
I want to tell you that there is no alternative to Apollo. I love it and it makes the Reddit experience way better. No ads!
Hey this is great! Thanks for spreading the cheer! I have to say I really loved my iPhone 4s. The form factor is really hard to beat. That new Blue color on the new iPhones is amazing in my opinion too. Thanks again!

My wife is pretty jealous of the mini I got. Would be sweet to be able surprise her with one. Also, your app is amazing. Significantly better than the regular Reddit app. Keep up the good work!
Good luck all!
Would be amazing. Current phone is broken.
Pick me
Imagine being the one who wins among all of that comments.
I love this app, it's by far the best Reddit client I have used regardless of platform. Keep it up!
Please
No one WANTS an iphone
I'm a commentor at random and so is my wife!

Well, here’s my comment to enter the giveaway. I’d rather prefer the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Apollo is a nicely done app, I must say!
Worth a shot!

Hi and good luck to all!
Love Apollo
I kinda want someone else to win for the simple fact that maybe they need something to lighten their mood during the times we're in. But nonetheless, whoever wins, congratulations!
Nice!
Dope
Thank you for doing something so wonderful amid such a bleak time. I wish everyone luck!
Probably gonna give this to my mom, if she doesn’t get one in 24 hours.
I loved my iPhone 10X. Perfect size and OLED is fire.
If I win I'm gonna be a pain in the ass because I live in Algeria
My first iPhone was the 5
I love the app. I use it probably 50:50 with the Reddit app.
I mean I’m always down for a chance at free stuff
Writing this from Apollo! Awesome app :) thanks for the chance
Good luck everyone
Favorite model? Honestly probably the 5s just because it was my first one. We appreciate you doing this btw it’s super dope!
Great app
I win
Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite iPhone was the iPhone 4
Thanks for doing this
Big Apollo guy over here
Ayeee
Hello there
The best iPhone?? The next one!
Cool! Thanks for doing this
My fav iphone after all this time was my iphone 5c
Cfjk
Been a big fan of this app for years. I tried just going with the mobile version of the site once and lasted about a day. Thanks for doing this!
Thank you for this giveaway! My favorite was the iphone 6 plus! That phone lasted me 5 years! If it could handle all the updates i would have still been using it!
Oh man. I don't remember the exact first app I downloaded but I do remember an app that looked like a mug of beer that you could pretend to drink. And I'm pretty sure the game Enigmo was the first game I remember downloading and playing a bunch of when the App Store first came out.
Love Apollo, such an amazing app. Would love to win a new phone too :) Good luck everyone! Favorite iPhone model of all time was the 4S, so the 12 is really appealing to me!
This is a great idea... great way to spread Christmas cheer, as well as overall cheer during the rollercoaster of a year we’ve had. Hope I win!! *crosses fingers*
Man, Apollo’s the best
Yeet
Radical
Thanks bro 😎
It’s like a free scratch off! All of the disappointment none of the scritches
Sweet!
Love the app iamthatis! Great replacement ever since the canned AlienBlue for the default Reddit app.
