I’ve been using iPhones since the 1st gen, and I would say size is relative to personal preference. I would love to have the iPhone 5 size but with the iPhone 12 Pro Max package. But of course that wouldn’t happen because packing so much specs into such a small form ain’t possible yet. But for those considering which phone to get, it’s more important to consider what’s your biggest need, is it battery life, size, specs, camera or heck even colour?
Personally I’ve used 6S+ and when X was released I was real happy that I finally got a smaller phone because taking selfies and navigating with one hand was much easier. Even dozing off while playing with the phone in bed didn’t cause so much pain when the phone fell on my face. Fast forward to 2020 and why did I choose the iPhone 12 Pro over the Pro Max was only because of size. I would love to have the camera features of the Pro Max and better battery life but because size matters much more, I went for the Pro instead. Why not mini then? Well, I liked the extra features of the Pro over the mini and I game alot, so 6.1” works better for me.
So for those still considering, ask yourself what do you need most, and what you don’t want. And for those who already got their phones, be happy! Otherwise there’s always the option to change phones hehe...
