iPhone 12 Would I be dumb to trade in my iPhone 11 Pro Max for a purple iPhone 12?

1) I have handled the iPhone 12 Pro Max in the store plenty of times, and I get kind of annoyed by the slight increase in size from the 11 Pro Max to the 12 Pro Max. This won't change with the iPhone 12s/13

2) The iPhone 12 with OLED and 5G is very similar to the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the exception of telephoto, which I don't use all that often

3) The purple is one of the favorite iPhone colors I have seen in a while. I would pair it with a green Walnut leather case

4) iPhone 12 seems like a great phone to have for a year and a half or two years until the 2022/23 models

Thoughts? How have iPhone 12 owners liked the phone?

I had thought of trading in my 8Plus but then I hear there is an iPhone 13 that might come out in the fall. I really don't see a lot of difference between the two for me to make a plunge. Sure it is better, but as far as features, I am at home, isolating still with the wife and pooch, so I can charge and update with no issue. I think I am going to wait until fall. IF the iphone 13 really comes out and is again not that much, I can assume the price on the 12 might come down a bit. It has to have more bang for the buck.

I doubt I will pick up the purple phone but the more I see the new phones, the more I am liking the “middle size” versus the Max size. I am guessing 12s/13 will have battery life improvements in the standard size.

Yep. I am definitely hoping to see larger batteries in the 12S/13, I need to feel the upgrade when I leave my 11 Pro Max. Hopefully the 12S Pro Max/13 Pro Max will rock at least a ~4300mAh battery if it’s coming with a higher refresh rate screen.I think if Apple do 90hz screen with a very high touch sampling rate they would be fine no need for 120hz refresh rate.
