Did you choose the pro or just the 12?

[rebretz000]

I purchased the Pacific Blue Pro 12 for myself and the Gold 12 Pro for my wife. The Gold pro looks close to the Silver this year.

I actually like the gold for the ladies this year. Looks very elegant. I just hate how heavy it is!

12 pro

 

[torbjornhb]

iPhone 12 Pro. One thing is the extra telephoto lens, but I'm actually at least as interested in the 2gb extra RAM.

12, the Pro’s aren’t very justifiable in their cost this year.

I went with the 12 Pro blue, was leaning towards a mini, but decided to give my 11 Pro to my nephew and get my twin brother a SE 2 because he likes the home button.

Went with the 12 Pro for the camera, and plan to keep it for several years. If the same camera was available on the Mini I would have gone for that instead.

 

[MasterDarque]

I went with a Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro over the 12, coming from an iPhone XS Max in gold.

It depends on what you are wanting out of the phone. As some have mentioned in this thread, some wanted it for the telephoto lens. Some, like me, wanted it for the extra 2GB of RAM. There is also the ProRAW photo format. I question why Apple didn't add that to the 12, was it to help justify the cost of the Pro or maybe because it requires the additional RAM.

After you account for the extra 64GB of storage on the base Pro model, there is just over $100 price difference between the Pro and the 12.

I never said there weren’t reasons to get a Pro. It’s just not entirely justifiable cost-wise. You’ve noted the biggest and a large portion of the differences already. People will get the phone they want, and enjoy it. 2GB of RAM isn’t a lot and telephoto isn’t useful to many. ProRAW just takes more physical storage. Completely uncompressed. I also question the choice to not include it, other than the fact that uncompressed original files are “pro.” Maybe in a couple years when I upgrade again there will be more “pro” in the Pro again.

eh, i use it all the time, noice of you to speak for the many though

If you don't mind me asking, what phone did you come from prior to the 12?

XS Max, the 11 wasn’t really worth the cost to upgrade from the S series for me either.

That's how I feel about the 11 pro to the 12 pro

Some people only upgrade once in a while and or don’t even look at the cost of stuff.
I do understand the point your making though.

 

[Tartarus]

There is no ‘many’ in ‘I’, though.
In other words, still doesn’t make what he said untrue.
And I have to give it to him, he’s right.

I tried, but I take offense.

I am going for the Gold Pro Max.
You saying it’s for the ladies just rubbed me the wrong way.

 

[MooMooPrincess]

Was going to get the pro max but I’ll grab the regular pro this year, the color? Not so sure about yet. Waiting for the first initial batches to go so I can get a less yellow screen.

 

[swarlos]

Same. I chose the Pacific Blue Pro. Couldn’t be happier!

This one was a bad influence on me! I told her I wanted the midget phone but nope she said join the Pro club and I couldn’t resist this Pacific Blue.
