I would attribute the difference to the oled display. BOE, a Chinese manufacturer of displays, who was supposed to provide oled panels at less cost than Samsung didn’t come through this year. They sampled BOE’s displays and they didn’t meet apples standards. So now you most likely have a quality Samsung panel on the mini so you’re gonna pay for it my friend.
If you could confirm that, I’d be really happy. Just saw a Twitter leak on iPh13 and some of variance will come up with BoE display. Saw iPh13 pro will be with sensor shift as well which is key differentiator for me. But I will still go ahead with 12 Pro lines.

I am really torn here. Currently have 11P but was consudering 12PMax. But....I have not had a phone that big before. Camera upgrades are intriguing to me as my phone is my main camera for taking family pics and I like longer battery life. Is the 12PMax battery life a lot longer than 12P? Is there any site that has something I could print out to at least see the difference in width/height between the two?
Be honest all you 12P buyers. If the Max was available at the same time, you'd be getting it. Amirite?
I got that info right here in macrumors. Lol. I have little doubt that BOE will become more of a major player for the ip13.
First 5G iPhone Shipments Won't Include OLED Panels From BOE Due to Validation Failure
Apple was hoping to use OLED panels sourced from display manufacturer BOE for some of the iPhone models coming in 2020, but BOE will not be a...

It is not the case for me. Waiting is like my favourite game. For eg. I been reading PS5 news and chatters since June 2020 and pre order in September and still waiting for launch day in November. Even after getting a console, few of my favourite games will only released by 2021. Likewise, I ordered a bike in advance of 6 months which was famously out of stock everywhere and still waiting its delivery.
In Pro Max case, it is all about personal usability. With nearly half pound weighing, sharp edges frame will be very hard to use with pinch points and high chance of slip/drop hazard for everyday use and another is pocketability. That’s why it was scribbled out of the list.
I am kind of form over functions. Do I wanna look like Jason Statham or Ethan Kurt? Cool or irrelevant? ?

Currently I have the XS Max which is working completely fine, but hype took over and I'm planning on getting the 12 pro. I feel like the camera on the 11 Pro was amazing and feel the XS Max camera doesn't cut it so much anymore. I love taking pictures and the convenience of doing this on my phone pushes me towards the Pro.
I'm not really interested in the 12 Pro Max, simply due to the size. I sometimes find my XS Max can be too big so I'll give the 12 Pro a try and hope I don't miss that little extra screen size.
I work on a 16" Macbook Pro all day and have an iPad at the side of me too so I shouldn't struggle.

According to Xcode the pro line will have 6gb of ram and the lower two models will have 4gb of ram.
I might order a case on Amazon and it would be here Saturday. That way I could feel the size of the pro max and determine if I want to keep the preorder for the 12 pro or get the max.
Looking to “downsize” from my XSMax to the 12 Pro. As it is, my XSMax just barely fits my cars wireless charging pad/bay. Also, depending on what I’m wearing, there are times when the top corner is sticking out of my pocket. Plus, I have a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 and a new 27” iMac on the way. If I need large screens, I have them.
The measurements are listed on Apple’s website here: https://www.apple.com/iphone-12-pro/specs/
But here is the info.
11P 5.67 x 2.81 x .32 and 6.63oz
12P 5.78 x 2.82 x .29 and 6.66oz
12PM 6.33 x 3.07 x .29 and 8.03oz
Up to 3 hours more video playback and 15 hours audio playback on the Max vs 6.1” Pro.
Overall, the 6.1” Pro is very close to the size of your current 5.8” 11 Pro and almost identical in weight. The Pro Max is over half a pound and quite large.
I was really disappointed when I heard that the Pro Max will have the better camera system. Since the camera would be the No. 1 reason to upgrad from my current X, I simply don't want to pay 1100€+ for the iPhone 12 Pro and only have the 2nd best iPhone camera.
Therefore, I will order the Pro Max and give it a try. In case its too big, I will return it and stick with my X for another year.

Pro max all the way great camera and great for streaming media content due to my aging eyes.
My iphone 11 pro feels tiny and looks like a toy compared to my buddies note 20 ultra.

If I'm gonna pay $1000 I might as well get the top of the line.
TBH, I am quite happy to see the balance on Pro and Pro Max users. Or else, both of the fans will have to fight over stock availability.?
Compare to past years when extra $100 only gets larger screen and bigger battery, 12PM’s better camera does sweetens the deal. Only the late date makes me still undecided.
Had a 6plus and got annoyed with its size over time. It having had the bending issue, requiring me to take extra care, and it having been underpowered from the start didn‘t help.
Upgraded to the 7, and now having been on X for 3 years, I‘m considering the bigger Pro Max again, as the Xˋ screen has been getting too small for my taste.
I‘m happy that preorders for the Max start later. That way, I‘ll have the chance to see the Non-Max in a store beforehand.
