I did. Purchased the first 7+ and thought I'd love it. I hated the size. I carry my phone in front pants pockets or tops with pockets. In pants, the larger phone will fit, but frequently slipped out and fell between the seats in the car when sitting; getting in or out. In tops, it can weigh down the pocket and fall out when bending over to do something. Even when carrying a purse, it didn't fit in the purse pocket or it was so tight that the phone was difficult to get out to answer or check. I traded a 90+ year-old relative my new larger phone for his (my old) smaller phone until the next trade in.

I'm still on the fence about upgrading to the 13 Pro Max. While I do want a bigger screen and more battery capacity, I like the portability of my 11 Pro.
The 120Hz screen will be a game-changer and hopefully, it convinces you to upgrade. The screen will be buttery smooth. Also, the upgraded camera's... being able to take photos of the sky at night... just amazing.
Out of all the new features, my safest bet is upgraded Face ID. If not then that would be a hugely missed opportunity to profit off of people's mask wearing woes especially while the pandemic is still fresh in our memories
Oh, I’m definitely upgrading! Just haven’t made up my mind on whether it’ll be a 13 Pro or a 13 Pro Max.
I thought we would see the event announcement already? I can't wait to get my hands on a 13 Pro Max.
I have had every iPhone since the first one and see no reason to stop now

Don't see those as being any significant upgrade over the 12 Pro, any improvement to speed, smoothness and camera would be indiscernible to the average user.
Agreed. I don't know why some Apple fanboys keep talking up 120Hz like it's some tech leap forward. Android phones have had it for multiple years now and anyone whose used them will know that in real world usage it's hardly game changing. Will it be nice to have? Yes. But it isn't some massive tech leap like a lot of people around here like to claim it is.
I agree, but it’s still nice to have it. iPhone needs the higher refresher rate desperately. I guess we have to wait till the reviews are up

Welcome!!! Happy to have you here and join the thread. Not too long of a wait to go. I’m ready.Wow its been a year since the last thread! I’m obviously ready to go and can’t wait!!
No doubt about it. AT&T is currently offering $1400 off the new z flip and z fold devices through Best Buy. I believe we will be getting at least $800 off through bill credits with trade in. AT&T quietly changed their financing to 36 months so they are fine with giving you a free phone in exchange for 3 years of predictable, guaranteed revenue.
