iPhone 12 It's a "downgrading" year for me. I want the iPhone 12 mini and the new MacBook Air

[ChipperVW]

Currently using an iPhone 11 Pro and a 13" MacBook Pro.

I was impressed with the new Apple silicon MBA announced and the benchmarks so I am considering getting one to replace the MBP.

I also stopped by my local Best Buy this morning to see the 12 Pro Max and 12 mini in person. Was trying to talk myself into the Max to get the best cameras but man, that mini! "Hand feel" is just great. I am really tempted to "downgrade" to the mini. I love the flat edges but the 12 Pro just felt too similar to the 11 Pro and the 12 Max was beautiful but too big for my typical phone use.

The 12 mini is so appealing. Kinda like a "sleeper car" but in a phone

I think this phone needs to be seen in person and HELD to appreciate.

The max has always been a no-go for me as it's just too big so I opted on the 12 Pro and 11 Pro before it.

The mini is a great device though and I'm sure it will be popular and outsell either Pro variant.

I'm very tempted with the new MBA but I'll wait until next year before finally upgrading my late 2013 MacBook Pro. Keeping my fingers crossed for a redesigned model with a second-gen M series CPU. Perhaps Apple might see fit to give it 4 ThunderBolt 4 ports again...
