Yeah exactly - that's money in your pocket rather than Apple's!
Likewise. Skinny jeans... Pah, skinny is not a word that's ever been used to describe me.. 😂
Yes I have just done the same with the online chat tonight got to send them phone back in 5 days and says agreement will be cancelled and if any money paid it will be refunded.
Yeah I had the 13PM but swapped with my brother for his 13 Pro to trade it in.
That's the thing - I wasn't using the Pro one-handed. I still had to use two hands. I can scroll one handed on both phones. If I was typing, I was using both hands because it's more comfortable that way on either phone. So I found that the 'benefits' of the Pro were lost on me.
Having had the Plus/Max models since the 6 Plus, I could never go back. I do a fair amount of media intake so benefit from the bigger screen, got to the point that I find the smaller screens pretty much unusable now.

I expect the next beta build (or maybe the one after) to be a significant size for the 14s, given that there's so much to fix.
I had an 8 Plus (which I loved), then an iPhone X, then went to a standard 12, then to an 13 PM and then 14 PM. I don't think I'd go smaller now.Having had the Plus/Max models since the 6 Plus, I could never go back.

The nice thing is cost me nothing. She is 32 and married with two kids. Though she did come to her dad to ask me what she should tell her husband
Me, been checking since Friday tbh as I went to my local store and they had no units to swap out. Got a sweet deal in the end though, sold my pre order of the silver 256GB pro to my dad so I can just start fresh. Hoping to get the max purple 256GB but yeah I’m not feeling too optimistic given the dates on apple website direct…
Very much the other way for me. Forever had the smaller phone but nowadays my phone is THE thing I use the most (only thing tbh) got a MacBook etc but don’t really use it. Tried an iPad few months back but couldn’t justify that I done everything I do on my iPhone on it so that went back. Safe to say I keep getting attracted to the PM the size… the screen I want!
You all giving me pro max envy again!!!
I don’t want to prove my wife right!!!

Don’t get me wrong this was a very hard decision. I’ve loved my standard pro but I really feel like I can handle bigger display now, starting to feel like this is small and I want more!
Nope not here as I’ve gone naked for a change so feels completely new.
I bought the 14 pro in black but ended up returning it due to a scratch/chip? that I noticed just above the dynamic island. It wasn’t super bad but like it would reflect light and I can see that annoying me.
So returned it but the Apple Store didn’t have any replacements or anymore in stock. So need to wait now til October according to the website.

I did for that very reason, it’s nice to consume content and surf the web on it but it’s undeniably big so this year I wanted a change. I may go back to PM next year if they put it on a diet (unlikely as it is).
I’m now down to 50% on my Pro from 7am when it was 100% with 5.5 hours screen time…I’m pretty happy with that.Stand by time is so disappointing
I use my iPad for everything anyway so I doubt i will find the smaller screen more annoying. It is possibly going to happen next year.
Had a price locked in of £430 at MM for my 12 Pro but managed to sell it today for £450 cash. Saves the trip to Asda and hoping the payment goes in.

I think I can only recall seeing one person in this thread change their mind, but that person has a long-established track record of flip-flapping on iPhone decisions so 🤷🏻♂️
Largely everyone seems to be happy with their new phones, or excited that they’ll be arriving soon 🤠🤠
