if the rumors are true we're getting a 5.4" , two 6.1" , and a 6.7" and no more 5.8" models -- what will you do?
Got a tip for us?

Probably the same for me. Currently use 11 Pro Max, but have a work XR and it’s a good size.
Would like to see the 6.7 in-person before making final decision.
I'm planning on upgrading my X with the 6.1 12 Pro. I'll get the battery replaced in my X by Apple and keep it as a backup phone
I'm liking 5.8 but could probably live with 5.5 or 6.1, less than a third of an inch either way. Definitely I'll not go back to fingerprint ID.
Depends. Most likely the 6.1 Pro, but perhaps I will take the 6.7 Pro. Anyways, this time I want to see the phone live first and then decide for a variety of reasons like new form factor, new sizes and colors (this year I was very excited about midnight green, which turned out to be boring when I saw it live, the same was in 2017 with the space gray X). My choice will also depend on the price of the new models, so if they get even more expensive than now, I might either get the 6.1 non-Pro or the 11 Pro Max - the choice between these two would depend on the quality of the camera, tho.
Moving over to the Pixel 5 if the contracts are decent enough.
I know the Pro is going to be ridiculously expensive and I've reached my personal limit on paying these latest and greatest prices. The Magic Keyboard was the tipping point. £300 for a keyboard? Nope. Not anymore.
So I'm happy to make a move over and see what's going on Google wise. Use all their services anyway and everyone contact wise uses WhatsApp so no loss on iMessage. So the transition will be easy enough.

I knew I was missing an option... I wanted to include 'move to an android' as a poll option for some.
So as of right now, my iPhone 8 Plus is my work phone, aside from the Max being the personal phone. Moving forward, I’m looking at the 5.4 model for my ‘every day carry‘, and the SE2+ Reportedly launching in late Qt #1 2021 will be my new work phone.
Using an 11 Pro Max, the buggiest iPhone I’ve ever had. I’m thinking about going to a small size moving forwards. I don’t really see where the extra size matters. The vast majority of apps and websites just scale to a bigger or smaller size, so you don’t usually gain any real estate. Maybe with a desktop site, but a 6.5” or 6.7” is still too small to use that properly.
Currently using a 5.8" XS and really like it but I've never had a plus or max size iPhone so will try out a max version for my next upgrade. Maybe this year depending on features but I might wait until 2021.
For the time being? Stick with my XS. I tend to use phones for several years, so I've still got plenty of time with it. After it starts feeling old? Who knows?
I have the X. I don’t know how I would feel about the 6.1 pro and don’t want to go any smaller. I may just get the 11 Pro in September.
My XS is still pretty good after 16 months. When I will change it, I don’t know exactly what to do. Maybe 256 gb model in the future. Sometimes I think I want a smaller phone, sometimes a bigger screen. We will see.
Get a 6.1" iPhone 12 or 12 Pro later this year so you have a big screen and a small phone. Not really a small phone though.
