First off, I'd like to apologize if my post isn't very well written - I am new here. I have been reading this forum for a long time, but never felt the need to create an account as whatever information I needed was answered beautifully from other people before me.
So... I have been using iPhones since 2013, exclusively. I'm a tiny woman with super tiny hands, which already makes matters a lot harder in terms of finding a device that's fine for me to use. ?
I had the iPhone 7 for a REALLY long time, needed a battery replacement and eventually it was so bad I needed to find a new alternative.
I recently decided to upgrade to the 12 Mini, which was a lot of money for me to begin with, but I thought it would be worth it as a good investment for my future.
For most things I use my iPad mini and MacBook pro, so I only use my phone for phone calls, texts (WhatsApp, mainly), taking pictures, sending/listening voice notes... social media and stuff I mainly use on my iPad.
I feel bad and stupid for even feeling the way I do, but somehow ever since I switched I haven't been too happy with my choice. ? I really miss the home button and ever since I got this phone I get headaches so frequently, which I'm not sure if it is related to the different screen. I find it often quite uncomfortable to look at the display and I find myself putting off replying to messages because it gives me a headache. On top of that, like I said, I really do miss the home button. I'm not a fan of Face ID and here where I live face masks have been obligatory for almost an entire year which makes it impossible to use.
I'm tempted to sell my new 12 mini to buy the SE 2020 which seems to be the dream phone for someone like me, BUT I am worried about the battery. Which is what led me to get the 12 mini in the first place, instead of the SE. I've done so much research and all I see is people saying how their battery health drops dramatically in a matter of weeks or a couple months maximum and the phone doesn't work properly anymore.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is, would it be incredibly stupid of me to sell the mini to buy a phone that's apparently so much worse as people say? It does have everything I want and need, except the battery like I said it frightens me because I don't want to find myself in a situation where I'd need my phone and it would die on me.
I know we're going through unprecedented times and I feel bad for even worrying about something so superficial, but it matters to me because I'd plan on keeping the device for a really long time.
Any thoughts?
Please forgive the length of the post, I don't know how to explain myself without telling the entire story haha I hope everyone reading this (and putting up with me) has a lovely day! ?
