Size isn’t an issue really, it’s a touch taller by millimetres the width is 1mm and it’s a lot thinner as well.
Battery life is being blown out of proportion, many devices have only recently been set up and are being used more, indexing files etc. The tests online also can’t be trusted as gospel either. Mines been just as good as my 11 Pro was and will certainly be much better than an XS. Have a look on Apple’s website in the compare section at the top, and you’ll see the regular 12 is a great device.
But it is your money
