Question iPhone 12

[Neal]

Who's going for the iPhone 12? I watched the Apple event. I have an iPhone X which actually works fine but it's time for an upgrade and now is the land of 5G. I'm going for a blue iPhone 12 Pro MAX this time around. I've seen @ARD's pictures with her 11 Pro MAX and they are unbelievable as some have seen on this site. I want the best camera and that's the PRO MAX.

And yes, this phone will cost what we once paid for laptop computers!

The problem I have with all of the new phones is SIZE! Few of them will fit in a shirt pocket any more, so you need some kind of holster (or backpack straps ). Of course, this ol' dinosaur still thinks phones are for making phone calls. Silly me.

They answered that this year and are offering an iPhone 12 MINI.

Some folks like to spend money on the latest and greatest. Me old flip phone still works. I don't even want to buy a new iPad every six years.

Interesting! The size on the mini is just slightly smaller than my current iPhone 6S...which barely fits in some of my shirt pockets.

I’m looking to pick up the PRO. The MAX seems a tad large for me. Also replacing my X. Can’t wait for that camera.

When the 6 came out I got the 6 PLUS. I hated it, too big, next cycle I got the 6S (non plus). So this is going to be interesting going GRANDE this time around. With my eye sight being steadily affected by A.G.E. syndrome, it may be time to make things larger.

 

[Neal]

What is driving me to the MAX is the camera. If you want the best "phone" photography then you need to deal with the size of the phone. I've seen the most amazing pictures ever out of @ARD's camera so I'm going back to MAX.

Wait I thought both of the pro models had the same technologies? You had me reconsidering this anyway – I’ll have to run down to the AT&T store and hold the 11 Pro Max, it’s pretty close in size. Maybe I can deal with it after all.

 

[Neal]

You may be right. They may have the same camera and do per the chart on the link below. I'll need to keep researching. I still may go MAX this time around as most of what I do is YouTube, social media, etc. And returning to flying it will be used for maps and flying tech as well.

I’m all in for the best iPhone. Every year.

Listen. I’ve shot as a pro photographer for decades. And ever since the last couple Pro iPhones, I’ve left my Pro DSLR camera gear at home. What I can do with the iPhone 11 Pro Max camera is nothing short of mind blowing. I’m not gonna elaborate here, but the features and benefits are long.

oh yeah, and it doesn’t a little of other cool stuff to. It even makes phone calls!! LOL

I have the iPhone 11 and it has a great camera but I still take my Nikon DSLR with Wifi. Whats ironic about that is ..... with the Nikon app I can view all my images on my iPhone/iPad.

 

[Jim]

Um, a grand for a new phone? My 6s is doing just fine.

 

[Neal]

It looks like the MAX does have camera advantages. Seals the deal for me.

The iPhone 12 Pro Max could be Apple’s biggest camera jump in years

Good news for people who like big phones

I can do things with my iPhone 11 and standard iOS editor that I couldn’t do with a DSLR without spending thousands!! One example: Tilt-shift to correct perspective on buildings. A MAZE ING!!

I had to go to Costco today to compare the 11 ProMax to my X, they are close in size to the 12, albeit a bit smaller. I think my big Olaf hands can handle it, so I’m in for the Max. Unfortunately it looks like AT&T isn’t accepting pre-orders until November 6, and I’ll have to wait till later in November to actually get the phone :-(.. At this point I’m thinking I’ll just add it as another line as a replacement for my current phone and not pay extra for any 5G. I’ll try to figure out the price differential later

 

[Neal]

To me from what I experienced with the 6 PLUS is it's a two handed phone. The non MAX is a one handed phone, but barely, for me. Apple is staggering the pre-orders so yes the 12 PRO MAX is Nov 6 with shipping on the 13th. The 12 PRO non max is earlier. It will be tight for me to get it if there are any delays before I push west and if that's the case it's going to be a mid Feb buy for me. I sometimes am concerned with getting the first ones off the line but I get AppleCare and it's paid off as I'm on my 3rd iPhone X. It wasn't the first off the line, but two of them went kaput in about a year. Thankfully #3 is holding on and quite frankly I have no need to replace it other than the better camera first and foremost and better cellular second.
