So I have been a big phone guy for quite a few years now. So much so that I used to use Android phones back in the day rather than having to deal with the tiny iPhone displays. I have had every Plus and Max iPhone going back to the 6 Plus. After two months of use, the iPhone 12 PM is just TOO big IMO. It feels like a brick to carry around in a pocket and its impossible to use one-handed comfortably.

I was thinking about getting a second iPhone as a business phone and noticed Cricket Wireless has the SE 2020 for only $49 right now when you port a number. The SE was already a great deal at $399 but its an absolute steal for $49. Its only been 5 days and its already become my new daily driver. I had forgot what a joy it was to have a small, light and pocketable phone that can still do calls, texts, emails, social media, light web browsing and casual photos/video perfectly. Only downside is the terrible battery life, but I hear that's more on iOS 14 and I have an Apple smart battery case on the way for days I may need extra power.

I looked at the Mini, but its overpriced IMO and I bet that's why its the worst selling iPhone 12 model. Should have been priced at $599, would have sold tons. So with the SE only $49, I just couldn't bring myself to spend another $680 for a Mini.

Has anyone else gone from a 12 (or 11) ProMax to a smaller iPhone? How did you like it?
 
Wait till you drop it on carpet then let us know :rolleyes:
I did one better. I forgot how slippery this design can be and it slid off my leg onto the floorboard of my car. About the same drop as my 12 PM took and onto a harder surface, nothing happened. Is the $399 SE built better than the $1200 12 PM?!?! :eek:
