So for average Mom (that’s me) taking pictures of my family should I spend the extra money on the Pro or just get the iPhone 12? Is it worth the extra money for someone like me?
 
I always love our yearly posts on here lol! I'm planning on ordering the 12 Pro Max 256 GB in Pacific Blue. I'm coming from the 11 Pro Max 256 GB in Gold. I've gotten Rose Gold or Gold (apart from iPhone X) since the iPhone 6, so this will be a big change for me color wise. It looks beautiful though 😍 I look forward to ordering in a few weeks.

Quick question, when it's preorder time and I go through Verizon on Apple.com, do I put in my phone number or the account owners phone number?
 
Not sure if I'm going to order through Verizon this year. I'm not getting the regular 12, so unless they have a special that applies to the Pro/Pro Max, I may be ordering through Apple for the first time this year.
 
Here’s a pro tip

Order your phone from Verizon after you are sure you like your new phone - trade your old device in by going into the Verizon retail store. This way the amount is applied to your account and you have a receipt. Do not send you trade in thru the mail unless you are early upgrading.

Undecided now. I usually get the biggest model because it usually has more features. I’d be content with the 12Pro. Size isn’t bad. Feel it’ll be harder to get the 12 Pro Max. Idk lol.

I’m going with the Pro Max. I love that it’s larger than the 6.5 XS Max and 11 Pro Max. I take a lot of photos and videos of my kids and I’m always getting compliments on the photos. If you can justify paying extra for the Pro Max, I say go for it.

The pro max will be too big for my hands but I think I will go for the pro over the 12 because by the time I update the 12 to the 128gb, I could get the pro which starts at 128gb 🤔 Thanks for your response.
