Size is defiantly a factor. I loved the battery life and using my 11 Max like a small tablet but using it as a phone or one handed was a chore. I went to the 11 pro and the size was perfect to me. My issue with the 12 pro is battery life. My 11 pro got me through the day and the 12 pro had a smaller battery so it’s the max for me.

Just noticed that as well. Gold pro max 256 available for next week launch. I wonder if ATT will pony up more for a trade in?
 
I know this is a Pro thread, buuuut.... Relative to their production, the most in demand sim-free iPhone mini 256GB is: black, then white and green, then red and blue. All other sizes / colors are still available for arrival on launch day.

For awhile I debated picking one up this year for a variety of reasons - even though the last time I bought a new phone was 2014 - and I’m glad I have. I’m nervous they may not offer the mini again next year even though I think it’s an irrational fear.
 
You can buy two brand new iPad Air for the price of an iphone.
Just saying.
Not to comment on the whole "disposable income" topic, but there will be an iPhone next year and also a new SOC.
Combine that with the 5G/Huawei situation and you might consider just waiting 10 more months like me.

Every single color/capacity for Max is showing launch day pickup at our closest store for the VZW model, while regular Pro only three of the combos are even in one or more of the 12 closest with none at our closest. Seems like a gross marketing blunder. Wonder how many are already canceling Pros to get the Max in three days instead of months?

Why wait 10 more months, when you can wait 22 for an even BETTER phone?

I just ordered a 12 Pro Max, graphite, 256GB for my mother in law. Pick up at my closest apple store is Saturday the 14th! If I had selected a store a little further away, we could have picked it up on Friday.
