OK, which iPhone?

12 Pro. No issues other than I wish it was a tad (TAD) smaller.
I was torn between it and the 12 Mini. Even though I trust George and am glad it works for him, for me I wanted the 3rd lens on the Pro, the larger battery, and typing on the smaller screen was a bit tougher. It's cool, though, that the 12 mini screen displays the same amount of content though, just scaled down a tad.

For many people, like my kids, their phones are their primary "connectivity" device. So, for them, I see the attractiveness of a larger screen with easier typing.
For me, the luddite, my desktop is where I do most of my stuff. If I have to type something on my phone (like a text), I'll dictate it, and it works just fine.
For consuming content, I'm perfectly happy with my iPad.
@89th, iirc, the iPhone 12 Pro is just a bit smaller than the iPhone 11.

Some wag pointed out a couple of years ago that phones are getting bigger and bigger, and tablets are getting smaller and smaller. At some point, they'll cross over.

I got an 11 to save money. I don't understand spending a shit ton of money on a phone, when you can get one that was top of the line a year earlier for quite a bit less.
My recent phone upgrade was to a iPhone 7 plus. LOL
This does not have a headphone jack either. I thought it would be a problem but it is not.
At first, I bought a "dongle", that I would plug into my headphones and then into the phone. It is quite rare that I would be suing my headphones at the same time of charging the phone.
And recently, I bought a (pretty) cheap pair of "bluetooth" headphones, so dont need the dongle at all.

A buck. One.
You left out cheap. Cheap piker. I am loathe to sign up for monthly bills.
You exaggerated. It’s only 99¢ per month.
Before taxes....

My new, blue iPhone 12 just arrived. I decided to try the larger size because I'm not lugging it around for work and it has better battery life than the mini. With the travel we plan to do that could be important.
The 12 Pro has some interesting features but none that I felt were worth a couple hundred extra bucks.

Grats, hope it works out well! (I'm still on an X with a cracked screen when I ate it on some pavement last summer. I love the crap out of technology but I just don't care about phones for some reason.)
Was transitioning easy?

The 20w brick charger gets it from 0 to past half in half an hour.
Even 10 mins of charging will get you a huge chunk of your battery back.
I don’t use the latest and greatest wireless charger from Apple.
I have a regular old QI charger on my desk that slowly and steadily gets the charge up. (Probably at a similar rate to the regular square bricks).
