I think I’m going with the 5.4” model. I’m torn between this one and the 6.7” Pro Max. Which one will you pick up?
Got a tip for us?

You’re torn between the biggest and the smallest?! 
don’t you have preference?!

The 5.4" iPhone 12 is the only choice.
Hopefully Apple delivers.

lol I like the idea of a more pocketable phone and the idea of a phablet, but I’m probably leaning toward the smaller (and least expensive) phone. My X is still rocking, so who the hell knows what I’ll do come September.You’re torn between the biggest and the smallest?!
Either 12 or 12 Pro. Whichever has ProMotion.
Only Pro will get ProMotion.
I will go with 5.4” regardless. Want a better size. 5.8” is way too big.
Small version, for sure. I have an iPad Pro 2020 for large screen, I would love to have something smaller than my current X.
Probably the 6.1 Pro...but I want to see what the 5.4 is all about.
Won't be upgrading but I'd go for either the pro or pro max. Voted for pro in the poll.
If I were to upgrade, it'd be a Pro version, unsure which size, probably small version. If the smaller or even non- Pro versions only had the zoom lens I'd be all about it. Wide-angle unfortunately doesn't do it for me. Most likely gonna stay with my Pro Max this year
Wow, so the 12 Pro will be the size of the XR/11?
I guess if I'm buying one, I would get the plain 12 then.

If you’re looking at WiFi MIMO, both will probably have 2x2.
If you’re looking at LTE MIMO, the 5.4 would be similar/better than the existing 11.
Either way, it makes 0 difference. For practical purposes there are very few locations where you’ll get 100 Mbps instead of 50 Mbps. And even if you were to get the higher speed, it serves no practical purpose compared to something like getting the right phone size for yourself.

Yup. Apple has shot themselves in the foot with having the smallest Pro sized like a phablet.

Coming from an 8 plus I will be looking at what's what when everything's announced, it will probably between the new SE (though poor battery endurance has thrown me a bit there) and the two 6.1" models (more likely the Pro if it has under screen TID, though that has now been rumoured as a late 2021 feature). My phone is ok, it will probably last another 18 months ok, but I feel ready to upgrade this year.
From this thread it’s obvious most everyone wants the smallest size possible.
The few who don’t would rather go with the largest size possible and not the middle one. The ones who don’t fall in this camp, don’t want the smallest size only because they’ll miss out on essential features. So had the Pro offered a 5.4” model, they would have bought that instead of the 6.1”.
For almost nobody on this thread is price the main/only reason to go with 5.4”. It’s only the cherry on the top. You get the better sized phone. And it happens to be the cheaper one as well.
I have been saying this for ages. The iPhone 6 had the perfect dimensions. If you could make it very slightly smaller but full size, you’ve got a winner on your hand. And people will buy it regardless of how it is priced, of course within reason.
Something like the 5.4” iPhone is the perfect candidate for almost anybody coming from the SE/6-8/X/11 phone sizes. It’s what everybody has wanted all along. The only reason it won’t be the biggest success of all time is because many people also want every single feature available.
So had the iPhone and iPhone Pro both come in 5.4”, Apple would probably have got >70% of their new iPhone sales from just these two models.

If 5.8" were kept in the lineup, I probably would stick with that. 6.1" is a bit of a reach for me, so I'll be going with the 5.4" if all of the rumors are true.
I want the smallest phone possible (I have an iPad as my big screen iOS device), but also the best camera, so only choice is 6.1" Pro. It is too big for me, but... Actually, my only reason to upgrade from my iPhone 7 is the camera.
I agree about 5.8" being a bit of a sweet spot, it's about the size of a 5.0" 16:9 phone, but with the top and bottom bezel turned into screen. Think 5.4" would be a bit small for me so interested in the 6.1" which should still be a bit smaller than my 8 plus while offering more screen area overall.
Impressed (but not surprised) about the results. Also 5.4" here!
