iPhone 12 Aluminum sucks and I wish Apple would ditch it

[NotApplicable]

I bought a Pro, and while I don't think it's the phone for me, I think there's so much to be said for stainless phones. The lower weight of aluminum is just so completely pointless other than to make the phone seem less like jewelry. I've seen a lot of reviewers echo the same thoughts about how the industrial design of the pro/Max is better than the 12 models.

Also, with this recent batch of models it seems like Apple has really perfected stainless. The Pro graphite’s glossy gray sides are absolutely gorgeous—very reminiscent of the slate black iPhone 5. I wonder if they fixed the scratching issue that model had. I guess time will tell but I haven't seen any complaints yet.

Anyway, I just wanted to vent. I'm sure some people like their light phones with aluminum but I just feel like it purposefully makes the phone worse for questionable aesthetics.

I bought a mini, and while I don't think it's the phone for me, I think there's so much to be said for aluminum phones. The added weight of stainless steel is just so completely pointless other than to make the phone seem more like jewelry. I've seen a lot of reviewers echo the same thoughts...

So apple should ditch aluminum and basically make their phones across board near 1k or above or did you dream they all of a sudden decide to deeply discount their phones?

Here we go again.

Put a clear case on or return the phone.

I wish they would switch to cheap plastic or cardboard.

Luckily there is a phone for you then. There’s probably plenty people thinking the opposite, and there’s a phone for them too.

I feel like the humor here is lost on most people.

Lol i cant believe you made this counter post, but if Apple made their whole iphone line ‘brushed’ stainless steel i would be happy as its beautiful on the 4S. The prices have to stay the same though.

Agreed. They should switch to aluminium.
