Face ID fails too often for me. (First thing in the morning, can't unlock from a flat surface without adjusting, randomly get 'must enter passcode message', wearing a mask, other random times.) Touch ID essentially only failed me with wet fingers. Confident Apple's Touch ID on the screen solution will be excellent.
Folding iPhone in 2022 will be a game changer.
We’ll more likely get a touch screen Mac before an iPad Mini with phone capabilities 😂.
I still love touch ID every time I pick up my 8 Plus. It's just so natural with the way I hold the device. Rest my thumb on the circle, and voila. Ready to go. Of course also works in times of face masks.
And yeah, I also don't understand this too-tall-but-not-wide-enough thing that Apple has going. Width is required for decent reading, especially with larger fonts. The extra height just makes it awkward to put into pockets.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the exact same width and less than 1/8" taller than your iPhone 8 plus, the same as my old 6s plus that I replaced with the 12 pro max.
This is what I don't understand: basically, the 12 Pro Max is the same size as the old "plus" phones. I honestly don't notice the difference at all. Do you really feel that the additional 1/8" height makes it hard to put in a pocket?
Anyway, it's just a personal thing and Apple certainly has a size to suit almost everyone now.

Glad I returned the 12 for the 12 pro max, the 12 pro max is a beast when it comes to battery life, when I had my XS max it needed to be charged again through out the day most of the time, since picking up my 12 pro max on launch day, take phone off the charger in the morning, haven't needed to charge it again through out the day, tried killing the battery in a single day failed. 😂
Lowest I could get the battery down to was 30% 🔋🤴

I don’t think it’s the phone that’s bothering me it’s the silicone case. I only got it cause they had nothing else on the day. It grips to the inside of your pocket making it hard to put in your pocket and also picks up lint like crazy. Some how it does all this while not actually feeling grippy to the hand.
I just ordered a leather one online and going to take this one back in the 14 days.

I knew immediately I wanted the Pro Max and I am loving the crap out of this thing. Absolutely no regrets and I will never be able to go to a smaller device.
After retiring my 8+ --I still love that phone--and using the 12 PM for a little over a week, I can't even believe I considered a 12 Pro. This phone, paired with an Apple silicone or leather case is absolutely fantastic. And it's blue! Not a chance it goes back, no regrets.
I have always used the large sized phones but this one im trying to decide if I want to keep or downsize. I have an iPad for media consumption.. it feels overkill and not a as comfortable to hold. I did get a clickr case though and will see how that works out.
also looking at the normal pro it feels small....I can’t decide

Of the new phones I think my favorite is the normal 12 - I think that is the best model and bang for the bucks But I have previously always used the max phones, so I was tempted and just traded the normal 12 to the 12 Pro Max. Love the screen but I have to admit the weight and form factor of the normal 12 is nice..

That is where I’m at. The 12 pro max is awesome.. but it feels a little big . And that’s strange confine from an 11 Pro. Thing is I don’t use the larger screen for many video watching since I’m always Using my iPad 11” . PiP is undoubtedly nice though. If apple had true split screen this wouldn’t even be a discussion for me... but they don’t. I really wonder their reasoning for not implementing this. I feel they could do it rather easilyOf the new phones I think my favorite is the normal 12 - I think that is the best model and bang for the bucks
Yeah that’s something I’ll need to consider also. I’m always near a charger so in theory it’s not the end of the world. But I love not having to worry about battery. This case does make it a little easier to hold also.
Exactly - and I guess people coming from the old max isn't missing THAT much screen space with the 12 or 12 pro. Last year you had to choose between 5.8" and 6.5" - this year 6.1" is closer to the old max model - but of course the 6.7" on the new is nice. I guess that is why my dream iPhone would be a "non-pro" iPhone 12 Max
