I just realized that and edited. My bad, I was just looking under trending and made a stupid assumption. I'll blame it on all the Thanksgiving wine 😵

Very Happy Mini user. Came from the original SE, as size had prevented me wanting any of the newer phones released since then. This was getting particularly saddening with the full screen and camera updates of recent years..
The Mini is all I could want it to be, a massive upgrade, that new phone battery life/performance, and barely any bigger in my pocket than my old SE.
It's funny, I picked up the old SE to wipe it 5 days after getting the Mini, and the screen already looked so small I could barely believe it. Funny how when you use something every day it is just 'normal' and then how quickly that perspective can change.

Same here! Except I took only 2 days to return the Max. I had the XS Max and 11 PM and I'm amazed at how good the 12 Pro size feels in hand. Why didn't I just go with the non-max size all along lol? I compared a bunch of apps and usage, and I found that for me, realistically, there's no difference in functionality between the two sizes.
I think if you watch a ton of content or use it as your iPad or needs tons of battery life max is great but
for most users the regular pro is a plenty big phone.
How does a Pro Max even fit in a regular jeans pocket? Even in dockers or slacks, a phone that big takes up a lot of pocket real estate.
A friend of mine swears it does. My pro barely fits into some of my shirt pockets.
Love my PB Pro Max. I have no regrets and am thoroughly happy with my upgrade from my XS Max. I also still love the color.
Ok I understand returning the max for being too big and heavy but you didn’t sell me on your opinion of the 11 over the regular 12 pro. Just based on the fact that they’re using Qualcomm over intel this year is reason enough unless you haven’t experienced connectivity issues. And then the form factor and flat edge design beats the ass of the 11. But to each their own
Having had The gold max for two weeks now I did like the size of the 12 pro better. The 6.1 felt perfect. And because of the compactness the gold looked BETTER on it. If that makes any sense. Now that we are mostly at home these days I’m usually always on my 11 inch iPad Pro 2020. I really don’t need the size of the max. Having said that I’m still undecided on if I’ll keep it, trade it for a PB max(since you like your color so much lol) or go back to a gold 12 pro. I’m all over the place. Like I said in other threads, I have until January to make a decision
First off, I don’t have to sell you crap. It’s based on my assessment of the new iPhone and I don’t have much issues with my Intel modem in places I frequent.
Adore my 12 mini, perfect size for me. I also carry a fold2 for when I need a larger screen, and if I need bigger I got my iPad Pro.
But the 12 mini has been the perfect size, great one handed use and the screen doesn’t feel too small at all.

iPhone 12 pro max is good to go and it's camera quality is also very satisfying.
