Re: iPhone vs Android I switched over to an s10e because the 12 mini I'd been waiting for did not offer what I was looking for. After many years with iPhones I find I prefer the utilities (phone app, messaging, music, &etc) of the iPhone and have found Google Play Store to be a jungle of sub...

I'm taking the money I saved by not upgrading my old SE's to 12's and buying the APM! I've wanted a set of Bluetooth earphones but didn't like what I've read about the sound signatures of the Sony or Bose. Just about everybody raves about the APM! I've heard there's an analog to digital...

An older SE. I'm not certain that I'll actually upgrade. The notch on the 12 mini gives away more real estate than I'd like and I'll have to see how the battery life is. Since Apple is still supporting the SE I have some flexibility.

I would never get a smaller phone than the one I currently have. That's why I'm getting an iPhone 12 mini.

Re: Compass accuracy Iphone 12? No, I am in the midst of deciding whether to upgrade my old SE (who's idea was that to give two entirely different phones the same name?) to a Mini. I rely on my iPhone's compass a lot and am wondering how good the 12"s sensor is in adjusting to a strong...

Do the internal magnets in the iPhone 12 have a negative effect on the compass accuracy or calibration? Hi. Can someone check if the built in magnets in the iPhone 12 have a negative effect on the internal compass accuracy or calibration. Thanks.

I will wait for the introduction of the 12 and some reviews. I do like its small footprint compared to the new larger SE (a phone I really can't make any sense of). The projected size of the mini seems perfect to me, but giving away hard fought screen space to features that aren't important to...

I have been looking forward to the iPhone 12 mini as an upgrade to my original SE. I want the larger wall to wall screen in a reasonable size body. The square edge is also a bonus. What I don't like is face recognition, the large notch, and the tiny battery. So, after waiting patiently my...

Why didn't they just name this "new" phone the iPhone 8? It has nothing in common with the SE.

I still like my old AirPods for ease of use, but for sound quality I've already bought the Sony WF1000xm3.

No full screen no new SE for me. A larger screen with the same size body is the only thing that works for me.

If a new SE has a full screen without the start button I'll buy it. Same form factor with a larger screen! Otherwise I'll keep the one I have.

for my Gen1 to die.

I got mine early on and they are still working fine. Battery life is still at a very good level. I use them mostly for books, podcasts and casual music listening. No regrets.

Wouldn't it be great to have a small Iphone with an edge to edge screen like the iPhone x to maximize the limited real estate? And maybe just a touch wider to maintain the current format.
