Two iPhones - is it useful?

[Kolldun]

I have an IPhone 11 Pro Max, and now I am thinking - should I buy a 12 pro max and sell 11, or - 12 mini and leave 11, so I can use pros for both of them - little one is always in a pocket and so, and a big one with long battery life and good for reading or Insta and so on.

i also have an Apple Watch, so - I guess they can only be paired with one phone? And AirPods?

does it make sense, or two phones make everything too complicated?
Thank you!

As long as everything is syncing over the cloud. It's not really complicated using two phones. Although unless you swap SIM cards all the time the 11 Pro Max will just basically be a tiny iPad.

Of course you can always pay for a second line. Then you have the issue of mismatching phone numbers, call forwarding, third party phone app, &c. Further complicating matters.

Seems like it would make more sense to get the 12 mini and an iPad. Getting rid of the 11 Pro. As then you'll have a small phone to carry around and an even bigger screen for those other uses.

I agree, an iPad would be more practical. Unless he needs a personal phone and a business one. Then it would simplify things for him.
