I think it is better. I went from an 8+ to an 11 pro max. I didn’t like the 11 pro or xs because it trimmed the width of the screen from the 8+. This seems like a good middle ground. And it is lighter than the max. So far I don’t miss my old 11 pro max being taller.
I've only been using the 12 Pro an hour or so but I think I need to get the Max next month because the screen feels small to me after a year with the 11PM
I’ve been using the 12P for a day now and I came from a 11PM.
Loving the lighter weight and it’s more manageable in the hands. I haven’t missed the monster size of the 11PM one bit.
Will see how battery life goes. I’m a heavy user and my 11PM is usually at 20% at 10pm every night.

I went from the XS Max to the 12 and I have zero regrets. The 12 is a perfect size for me, 6.1" is plenty of screen real estate and the immense weight difference is a game changer.
I used the 11 Pro Max for the past year, but for the past few weeks I've been using my old X, and have fallen in love with the size of the X.
Just got the 12 (not Pro) today, and it feels oddly large lol. Its interesting how quickly you can adjust to different sizes. The X felt tiny after using the Max for a year, but now the X feels like a perfect size for me.
Honestly, I'm tempted to go for the mini (at least for this year). 133g, same screen real estate as the X/Xs/11Pro...

Had the 11PM for a little over a year and wanted to downsize, so got the 12 Pro. It’s really a trade off that I could live with either way. I do miss the larger screen when watching video content, but I definitely like the size when using for other stuff or with it in my pocket. I wouldn’t say I regret the switch, but at times I do miss the screen. I don’t see myself switching to a 12PM.
same first impressions its great. went from 11PM to 12P and liking the smaller size
So far so good...may just be that new phone feeling. I’ll reevaluate in a week or so but I don’t miss the larger screen so far.
did the same. Will decide one I get used to it. I’m hoping the camera difference is marginal. If it’s way better on the max I may swap.
I love it, no regrets. Feels so much better. I still have my 11 pro max for when I’m at home chilling but this is the perfect form factor for when you’re mobile and out and about
11 Pro Max to 12 Pro here. 11 Pro Max was already too big, the fact the 12 Pro Max is even BIGGER is pure nonsense. It is a MOBILE phone, not a tablet.
The only thing you need to get used to is a different look for web browsing (e.g. - scaling). That has been tough, but everything else is pretty darn the same. I find changing the font size helps.
DOWNGRADED in screen size, but UPGRADED in lifestyle. No brainer for me so far.

Need more time for sure. I do love the footprint of the 12 Pro after a few hour, but for me, it might be just a touch small the display. But, the 12 PM 6.7 might be a tad too big. Think my sweet spot who be 6.3.
My plan is to use the phone for 2 weeks and see if I adjust. If not, I will pre-order the 12 PM the first day available and return this 12 Pro.

This size is perfect for me. I’m coming from the 11 PM and that phone was heavy. I’m still setting up my 12 Pro and couldn’t be happier.
Coming from plus phones since 6 plus through 11 Pro Max, I love the smaller size. However, I, surprised how much my battery has drained. My 11 Pro Max ends The day at 80-90%. I’m already at 50% and it’s 6pm my time.
I also had 11 Pro Max and today got the 12 Pro. So far I’m enjoying the size of the 12.
I’ve actually made a couple of phone calls with the 12 held to my ear already today, something I probably only did out of necessity a dozen or so times over the course of a year with 11 Max.
My only concern is battery. With the 11 pro max I literally never ever had battery anxiety. Hoping the same holds true with 12.

I had the 11PM loving the 12P as far as size go. I feel like the text and images on the screen are lot sharper. Only thing I'm hating so far is the new wireless charing. I have a Anker Wireless Charger I used to be able to just sit my phone on the stand up charger and it would charge the phone. It's not working on my 12P I think because the charging coil is different.
EDIT: It's working it's just a but more sensitive to the case ( I had to take the case off)
