I have the 12 Pro. Upgraded from the first SE. I find it a bit too large because I can't use it one handed as my hands aren't large enough. Camera is great! I probably should have gone for the 12 mini.

I have the SE 2020. Used to have the SE. I really like the size and how it sits in my hand. It's not the flashiest of models but so long as I can text calls and browse mn I'm happy Smile

iphone 12, perfect size for my hand.

DD has SE 2020, I think it's a great choice too, really impressed by it.

I have the SE 2020. Worst iphone I've ever had. Shit battery life, for ages when I was setting up new accounts on websites the keypad would freeze and the screen randomly darkens for no reason. Will be going for a non apple device when this contract is up.

I’m going to go for the 13 pro. Possibly the Max as the tech will weather better.

I have the 11 pro max. Bigger than my hand but I love a big screen. Great camera and good for watching things on because of the screen size. This model is discontinued by Apple but I got mine as a grade a refurbished from a local phone shop.

They’ve just announced the new iPhone 13 so I’d wait a couple of weeks as the older ones will drop in price.
Honestly I probably wouldn’t go more than 2 models older than the latest release (personally). I have the iPhone XS I got it when released (so 3 years ago) and I’m going to trade it in for the 13. Part of me wants to go for the pro max but I don’t see much difference tbh so I’ll go for the 13.

Toddlerteaplease · 15/09/2021 22:11

I've got the 12. It's great..

Confused ok?

I have the 12 mini. Really like the size. Takes great photos.

Haven't the prices already dropped now the iphone 13 has been announced with a price? Or are they expected to drop more?
EssentiallyDisorganised · 16/09/2021 07:29

I've got the Xs and been really happy with it, not sure what I'm going for next but planning to pop into the Apple Store today to try them for size. I chose the Xs as the most compact available at the time (I hate big phones) so that's what my main decision will be based around. DS has an SE2020 and its great.

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 16/09/2021 07:45

SE2020 here. I wanted to balance price with size - I take my phone running a have average-sized hands, so wouldn't pick something bigger

LtJudyHopps · 16/09/2021 09:08

lap90 I think they’ve dropped on the Apple website but if you’re getting a contract elsewhere pre-order isn’t open yet so I’m not sure if prices have dropped yet. I haven’t looked tbh as I know I’m going for the 13 from Apple

Snailhaterz2 · 16/09/2021 09:25

I have the iphone 12 mini, and I love it! I've got small hands, and my previous was an iphone 6 which I could hold easily, and basically every standard iphone since then has got bigger - so the mini is pretty much the same size as the iphone 6. I'm hoping it lasts as long as its predecessor - which was still working fine, but impossible to get software updates for any more.

DeadButDelicious · 16/09/2021 09:28

I have the 11pro, it's verging on a little big for my hands but not quite. I really like it.

ScrambledSmegs · 16/09/2021 09:33

12 Mini - both DH and I have it, we think it's great. My old one (the X) was massive and I hated it.

IloveJudgeJudy · 17/09/2021 07:57

I have the 12 pro. I love it. I had the XR previously and the 12 pro is so much better (and it was cheaper). The camera is fantastic which is what I wanted.

billyt · 17/09/2021 10:26

Went from a 7 to the 2020 SE as it had almost everything the bigger phones had and still could go in my pocket.

When our company phones were updated a few months ago I went for another SE rather than the Sony ones we were using.
