I'd be fine if they didn't include the earbuds. Not a fan of earbuds in general. The OEM charger is more important.
Got a tip for us?

Naaa, got enough of the cheapo OEM chargers from the last devices, really don’t require additional stock.
Understood. I don't. The 12's Lightning cable has a USB-C connector, and all of my blocks are A.
Hello everyone! In my previous post I mentioned that I’m using an iPhone 6s and just this morning it finally died. I took it to repair but I was told that I'm better off getting a new phone that spend hundreds more on repairing it at this rate.
Hopefully by the end of the day, I should have a new choice of what iPhone I should upgrade to. My budget can go as high as 900$ USD and I've narrowed it down to these devices:
- iPhone XR
-iPhone 11
- iPhone 12 mini
And some wildcards:
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone SE (2020)
There are lots of good options but I would appreciate it if y'all can help me choose which one is the best iPhone to get AT THIS MOMENT (Literally.) as I can't decide which phone is worth upgrading to.

Am I part of a minority that thinks Apple keeping around the iPhone 6-8 style/form factor is outrageous for the SE? It just feels so dated. Any chance the XR is updated with a new chip and replacing the SE, making the new line-up:
iPhone XR 2021 - £399
iPhone 11 - £499
iPhone 12 Mini - £599 (this size becomes the new SE size offering)
iPhone 13 Mini/Normal - £699/£799
iPhone 13 Pro/Max - £999/£1099
Of course I'm making this all up but seems reasonable, no?

If battery life is important, then I would vote for the 11 or 11 pro. iPhone 12 would be more ideal as the A14 is obviously the most future proof if you’re holding onto it long term.
if you like the size of your current 6, then you’ll love the 12 mini.
This is almost an impossible question to ask. You have people in this thread who value the camera the most, who value a particular size and weight the most, who value OLED or LCD the most, who value battery life the most, who base decisions on price the most, etc.
It’s fun to ask and watch a poll and all, but at the end of the day, only you know what fits your needs the best.

I would say the 11 represents the best overall value at the moment if you don't care about having the latest bleeding edge tech. 12 mini is probably second best in terms of value. SE is a pretty dated design at this point, and Apple is optimizing the iOS experience for FaceID phones so I would not get that one. XR is good, but a bit old now, so for buying new you will likely be better off getting a newer model since you seem to be someone who keeps their phone for a while.
If you still can get the 11 Pro, that’s almost a perfect upgrade. It has great battery life, OLED screen, telephoto lens, and still in a compact size (unlike the iPhone 12). From your list, to me that’s the best pick.
If you want to save some money, get the 11. It is quite the opposite of the 11 pro (larger size, LCD screen, no telephoto), but it has arguably the best battery life out of all the phones in your list.
The rest are not too good of a choice. Only get the XR if you are really tight on budget. Only get the 12 mini if you really must have a small phone, smaller than the 11 Pro. Only get the SE if you must have Touch ID. Other than those reasons, these phones imo are poor choices for the money compared to the 11 and 11 Pro.
There is no such thing as an iPhone «10s». I assume you mean iPhone XS. The XS offers no value over the X, from my experience.
This just feels like such a weird comment... Trying to pick out a fault where obviously you knew what they meant. And if you hear any Apple employee (execs) refer to the X, XS, and XR - they all say '10, 10S, and 10R'.
Ooo, look who’s «in the know» here. And my comment was weird, lol. You’re special
Well the one with the 11 Pro and Pro Max were not cheapo OEM, but rather the USB-C ones. Wish they kept including those
Well in all honesty....you were the one that started with the smart ass response when you knew perfectly well what he was referring to
Out of the options you have put in the poll, iPhone 11 will give you the best bang for buck in terms of Battery Life, usability and performance.
If you are looking at iPhone 12 I would avoid the Mini and rather get the normal iPhone 12 or 12 Pro.
From that poll the standard 11, but the 12 is worth it alone for the improved chip IMO.
If you are a light phone user, the mini is fine. If you stay on the phone a lot, you are right the min won't do unless you are willing to charge it during the day.
Do you use your phone a lot? Do you might possibly having to change it once during the day (if you are a heavy user)? Do you like the small phone form factor and don't need the camera ability of the luggage phone?
If you aren't a heavy user and can charge if need be, the mini is a great phone for the price and features. I think it is better than the SE 2020.
