Happy you upgraded? I'm very on the fence, and I have no idea why, my norm would've been to jump on it. No idea why I haven't.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 12 Pro for me, iPhone 12 for the wife, and a iPhone 11 for my daughter.
AT&T made me a sweet offer to come back to them (left them briefly for a few months last year). I got the iPhone 12 free when I ported back over and gave it to my wife. Traded in my iPhone 11 (paid off and unlocked and they gave me $900 for it) towards the 12 Pro. And as crazy as this sounds I traded a 6S Plus in and got $300 for it towards a brand new iPhone 11 and gave that to my daughter. AT&T (in my opinion) is making some sweet deals. And due to my corporate discount, we have the unlimited elite plan for $35 a month per line. I honestly cannot complain.

Sounds like you did well, wish AT&T worked where I live, we're on Verizon, and lately they only seem to be swinging deals on new, not existing customers. I got the best deals on our 12 series at Walmart, go figure
I bought the 11 Pro Max (Not on the list) a year ago and love it! The battery life is still great so I will probably keep it at least another year.
Sold my 13 month old SG 11 pro 256gb and got a Black 12 64GB for $0 change over, better modem, lighter, only 2.7mm taller and bigger screen, all black, i use the wide angle a lot with my business, tele rarely.
Also picked up a brand new 12 128gb for $900AUD and flipped for $1300 same day.

I got a great deal on a mint used iPhone 11, it’s quite the upgrade from my iPhone 6s. I swapped the SIM card, restored from a backup and everything transferred easily.
iPhone SE to replace a 4S . I am not a heavy phone user and I like the size and cost of the SE. It more than meets my needs.
iPhone 12 Pro purchased outright on AT&T. I didn't want to do anymore phone payments, and I am probably going to keep this one for a few years until it no longer performs for me.
I voted for the phone that I want to buy for me and for my family: 4 iPhone 12 minis, in different colours for easy keeping straight which phone is who's.
Is it true that the white iPhone 12 and 12 mini shows fingerprints the least? I really like the look of the black one, but the fingerprints seem really bad. Blue is probably similar in that regard. The red seems a little too salmony, but I have not seen it in person. The green is not my fav, but one of my kid really thinks its grate. By kid, I mean teen.
I do not have the money to buy a 12 mini for me or for anyone in my family. I am saving for the next iPad Pro 12.9.
I did actually buy a 2 week used iPhone SE 2020 (white) for my older kid. It was so new, that Apple care could be ordered even tho it was a so-called used phone. Battery condition was 100%, saved big bucks.

Bought a 256GB iPhone SE 2020 ($299 Walmart deal) in April/May to replace a 256GB iPhone 7 with bad battery. Then I got a 12 mini last week. I'm getting headaches with the mini, though.
Basically the same phone bar a few minor upgrades. The beauty of Apple is you don’t have to upgrade every year for your phone to be relevant, hence the best in class resale. I’m happy it’s like that and why it doesn’t hurt as much spending so much on the iPhone when I buy one.
Got the new SE 2020 as I love the size and Touch ID. Price did not hurt either.
I bought the iPhone 11 as it was slightly cheaper than the 12 (i'm on furlough at the moment) The 11 does everything I want in a phone, so it works for me.
I purchased the 12 Pro 256 in the silver color. I like the size and phone - works well. However, I actually prefer the rounded as opposed to the squared edges.
Purchased a 512GB 12 Pro in Graphite for launch day. A couple weeks ago I picked up a 512GB 12 Pro Max in Silver. I'm leaning towards keeping the Pro Max and eliminating the regular Pro. The Max doesn't seem that big to me this year. I tried both the 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max last year and ended up using the 11 Pro because I couldn't adjust to the larger form factor. Maybe it's the newish squared design that makes it feel smaller to me this year.
Last Spring, I bought four 2020 iPhone SEs for family members to replace older phones. They were on sale through WallMart for $200 each. Basically, for the price of one new iPhone 12, I upgraded all of the family phones. It was a good deal for our needs at the time.
So far, I am very happy with the 2020 iPhone SE. These phones offer solid internals in an older reliable package. Touch ID has been nice during the pandemic.
