    There's also the swipe-from-right gesture to open the camera from the lock screen.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I'm still on my 11. Might be time to upgrade soon.

      I'm on my 12. Seems to work fine. I also do not use a case and it has held up to various falls.

      I've said it before but I really wish they had a "goldilocks" iPhone model that isn't as small as the mini was, but isn't as big as the 12 (well, 16) is. In other words, when I'm holding the phone, I wish my thumb could reach the very top of the screen. I live a tough life.

      Wow. You are one of the very few people I know (maybe the only one) that does not use a case.

      For me, the phone is too thin without a case and uncomfortable for me to hold.

        I don’t use a case either. I have a magnetic wallet on the back though

          I’m strongly considering buying a new iPad for work and switching back to Samsung for my phone. This is the 3rd Apple Phone in a row that my lightning port died within 16 months. I blamed my headphones for the first, but the last two I’ve used Bluetooth headphones… So….

            I upgraded to the 15 earlier than I otherwise would have in order to rid my house of the lightening connector.

            Is the USB C more stable? Or is it just more convenient?

              More convenient. Everything else was USB-C so I was carrying multiple cable types.

                I'm a Catholic, and I own an Android. But when I die I'm going to go straight to heaven just like some freakin' Baptist, because I've done served my time in Purgatory!

                  Cases do make it easier to hold, that is for sure. But without a case it slides in and out of my pocket easily. I just decided when I got the 12 Pro (3-4 years ago?) that it was built with unobtanium or something strong and... if it was built to not crack, might as well use it that way. So far so good?

                    i have the 14Pro. The one feature I would like is an instant mute button to silence music/video or whatever I'm listening to via Bluetooth headphones. I can hit the volume control - but it takes a second or so to eliminate sound and another couple of seconds to restore.
