Other Who will be keeping their 12 series iPhone this year?

[Htsi]

I'm considering buying either a 12 Pro or a regular 13. Does anyone have any advice one which one they think is the better call?

My main priorities are camera, battery life & graphical performance and i'll definitely be keeping this device for quite some time.

I'd go for a regular 13. It's a year newer the cameras are a bit better and having owned a 12 Pro for 2 years the battery life on the 12 series isn't great especially once you start using 5G. The 13 addressed the poor battery life somewhat.

Keeping my non pro 12. The pro 12 was barely any different and not worth it at all. Only problem is I'm running low on storage on my 64gig so I may just get a renewed 12 with 128 gig.

I also like the 12 weight. The new phones are like bricks.

I would highly suggest the 12Pro or the iPhone 14 instead of the iPhone 12/13 purely for the 6GB ram. 4GB ram is a joke with constant tabs and apps reloading. It was a terrible experience with my 11Pro due to 4GB. Used the 12 pro for 2 years, got a rear system replacement and gave it to dad. New frame and 100% battery health. It’s a great phone. I like the upgrade to 14Pro with the downsides being its weight and ugly camera.

I went and replaced my 12 Pro only because I kept running out storage as I had the base model. I kept getting popups of running out of storage. I guess 23K of pictures will do that, It was great phone and I really like other then storage issues. I replaced it with a 14 Pro.

I pre-ordered and then canceled. I rather wait next year for the USB-C model instead but it was so tempting 😂.
I will probably get a battery replacement soon though. The battery is starting to go on my 12PM.
