Now that the 12 series is out I'm just curious what phone are you guys currently using going into 2021. If you didn't upgrade how is your old phone holding up? I have the 12 Pro Max but having slight buyers remorse as I feel my XS Max could have easily lasted another year or 2.
 
I have the new 12 Pro and am very happy with it. No buyer's remorse here.
 
I have an iPhone 11 and am still very happy with it. I actually pre-ordered an iPhone 12 (first time I pre-ordered an iPhone, I usually wait until after they are out and I can try it out at the Apple Store) and returned it because of multiple issues (screen was awful, slower cellular download speeds). Hopefully Apple does better next generation.
 
Was happy with my iPhone 11 but wanted to go back to the big screen so I bought the 12 PM and gave the 11 to my son to replace his old 6s Plus so nice upgrade for each of us.

Screen and battery life are the major upgrades I notice in day-to-day use.
 
Silver 12 PM, and no regrets. Still rockin it without a case since launch, and other than 2 minute scratches on the stainless steel band, still in mint condition in my opinion.
 
I have a 7. I’d possibly have upgraded this year if they’d gone USB-c but it still works ok. I’ve ordered an iPad Air, so I’ll use this (phone) even less for casual browsing then.

my wife has a 6s+, I’ve ordered her a 12pro max. She’s mostly happy with her existing one except the camera is disappointing these days.

I imagine she’ll get similar life out of the 12, too.

Thinking of trying something completely different like the Samsung galaxy lineup January 2021 flagship for the first time.

iPhone 12 No thank you this year. Stove camera bumps, Magnets, MagSafe, notch for the umpteenth year. Yikes.

I will be back; astalavista

I have the XR and I am happy with it. I didn't really see any need to get the 12, and I'm hoping next year the new phones might bring back Touch ID and I can upgrade then.

I have a really „first world problem“ set up. I am mostly using my new iPhone 12 Pro Max but I am also still using my older iPhone 7 Plus and my even older 6S next to the bed while the 12 is charging. I should actually just use my iPad Air 4 at home but somehow I always end up on an iPhone, it’s just more convenient somehow 🙈😅

I also have two Samsung Galaxy from work but ugh I hate Samsung / Android. I only use it for TikTok (lockdown boredom) cuz I don’t want that Chinese Spyware on my iPhones 😅

11 Pro Max. I will be hanging with this device at least another year, possibly 2-3 more. I played screen lottery and settled in January. I'm not about to go through the yellow screen lottery with the 12 Pro Max too.

Edit: Also using a used LG V60 ThinQ 5G as well. Just upgraded that due to a good negotiation on Swappa.

12 pro max 256gb coming from xs max 64gb. Wife is taking over the xs max. Loving the new cameras and definitely more snappy
 
I got the 12 Pro and I am happy with it. Upgrading from the XR. The XR was a great phone, but I feel like I will be pretty content with 12 Pro for the next 3-4 years. With the design, 5G capabilities, and the improved camera system (when compared to the XR) I feel future-proofed. It will probably take a lot to pry this phone out of my hands, compared to other iPhone models.
 
11 Pro and I just love the green :) I hope to use it for at least another year maybe 2 while 5G establishes itself. I must admit though if Huawei were still allowed to use android, I would be very tempted by the new P40 pro. That camera on a phone looks awesome!
