Surely there’s 2 out of that list? The design will undoubtedly be nice and it’s likely there will be colour options

No Touch ID, no buy.
Keeping my 5SE till they or Sony decide to make something I’ll buy.

There's still too many unknowns with the 12. And there's still too much in the air with respect to Apple's 2021 move away from Intel and Qualcomm. The 12 looks like bridging tech that may or may not be well supported. I may simply have the battery replaced in my original SE and take a pass.
You can look at the year old fold 1 or z flip to see how well it held up. They look fine. Its no thicker than your typical wallet and if can pocket a wallet then it should be ok.
Don't think above factors matter for the most part. Need to think outside of the box. Let me introduce some new factors:
- Lots of disposable income / money to burn
- Credit limit not reached yet
- Stimulus check
- Ego
- Purpose of life / distraction (until the next shiny thing released by Apple)
- Just because, I can....
- Genuine need / broken phone (yeap, those people exist)

My conspiracy theory is that the second round of checks will magically be passed once the 12 is announced officially like how the first round came with the SE2020
A f fingerprint reader. We’ll be in mask wearing mode easily for another year or two. I hate how my iPhone works like my iPhone anno 2007 now where I have to manually type in my PIN 100 times a day to unlock, as FaceID has become useless
I honestly think people are in for a major disappointment with the non pro models.
everyone thinks the mini is going to be some kind of bargain dream phone but I’m sure it’s not going to have a 1444p screen but a limp 1080p OLED.
I also think they’ll miss out on reverse wireless charging and slower faceID
the pro models need something to stand above the others or they’re pointless.

As a ex Samsung user they come out the box on 1080p mode. Nothing wrong with a 1080p oled screen. Reverse wireless charging I’m not fussed by, I have wireless earphones that I charge with my iPad Pro usb c charger.
I just don't like the fact that the 12 pro becomes bigger than the 11 pro.
It may be a minimal un-noticeable increase in size compared to the X/XS/11 Pro. Even then it'll be easier to hold because of the flat edges.
Same. Hoping the 5.4 produces but if not, a 6.1 option is a possibility because even that is downsizing from what I have now!!
120 Mhz refresh rate, and a camera that can actually have an independant "pro" mode where you can adjust white balance, exposure, shutter speed, ISO rating, etc, like some other phones.
For me is about size and weight; since the iphone 8 I struggle with the weight and pocketability (8+, XR, 11, 11Pro...)
Now on the SE I´m OK, but I miss the full screen design and the OLED a little bit.
For me the 5,4 is the only one to look for; I don't care about 120 Mhz, 5G or triple cameras.
And of course, price... let's see what is coming.

Must have features of the device is what we’re discussing here, not of the potential owners.
I’m really not bothered if it comes with 1080p as that is plenty on a phone. Apple have never released a poor screen to date so I don’t think this year will be any different.
TouchID is fast now and the current FaceID is always touted as comparable so again on that point I’m not worried at all. I think it’ll be a great upgrade for most. I can’t comment on expectations for the Pro’s as they don’t interest me.
