Uhh the cost of something doesn't dictate how great it will be. Odd logic.

I get that making it less wide would easier to reach your thumb across, but personally I would not want it smaller. Less wide would mean less room for video and web pages and textual content wouldn't display as nicely. If you want something less wide, there is the 12 / 12 Pro and 12 Mini. I originally had the 12, and it was quite nice, but switched to the 12 Pro Max because I wanted more of the very nice OLED display.
The 12's OLED display was so nice I found myself watching TV/movies on my phone for the first time, so I wanted something larger (big enough to fit video well without cropping). And I'm someone who loved small phones for their one-handed usability, and was initially excited about the 12 Mini (until I saw what battery life was like).
Maybe they should make the 12 Pro taller
Well considering the price tag,I don’t think being “among best” is that much of an achievement.
I mean every other phone in that price range is considered “one of the best”.

My iPhone 12 Pro Max was the worst phone I've ever had, glad I returned it.
LOL. What? Yes it does. This is especially true of electronics. If a $1,200 phone isn’t better than a $300 phone, you are doing something very, very, very wrong.
Doesn't saying "Among the best" basically mean the same thing as "not the best"?
What did CR judge to be the best phone? Seems like MR is trying to spin some news that is anti-Apple as being pro-Apple.

You're not thinking straight. The price of something is of perceived value, not quality. If you truly think that then you'll be spending a lot of money the rest of your life since you seem to think you can't get quality unless it's expensive. What a utterly ridiculous way of thinking. And you're gonna compare two phones that are $900 apart? SMH. 🙄 👎
iPhone 12 is by far the weakest update in years!
Perfect example that their customers will accept anything.
How tragical that is.
Their media will call this year’s iPhone as magical, huge update, amazing etc. but in all honesty it will be just the model that 12 shoul’ve been from the start.
You guys are leading new generation of brainwashed consumers.

LOL. Nothing you are saying is making any sense.
Why would it matter if the phones are $900 apart if price bears no relation to quality?
You’re contradicting yourself, which is impressive considering how nonsensical your original post was.
You make zero sense. Nobody sane would agree with you. I'm taking about your stupid comparison.
Yeah yeah yeah the usual response when a person's argument is failing. Do yourself a favor and take Consumer Shopping 101. Please do not reply any further.
You think? Up to 512GB of capacity, so far the strongest smartphone chip in the world, faster speed, insane camera quality, perfect device size, perfect battery life, and I could keep going,
Nobody agrees with me, yet my post that you object to has multiple likes. OK, guy.
LMAO I should've realized. A person that measures their success in life by the number Likes. 🙄
This proves your theory wrong:
Besides being Gold it worked just the same as $349 Apple Watch 0.
You are the one who said nobody agreed with me. This is hilarious. You are flailing all over the place at this point.
I can confirm, iPhone 12 Pro Max specially in Gold is the best iPhone that I’ve ever owned.
I always thought the Max sized phones would be too big, but apparently it’s perfect! With the added advantage of better camera & great battery life.
Also that Gold colour is a looker! 😍
