I have the mini since launch and never looked back only bad side is the battery but I have chargers everywhere.

I have kept my pro and I’m very happy with it. I also have a few family members who have gotten the iPhone 12 and they’re all very happy with it.

[ThePinkChameleon]

I was on the fence about moving forward from my 11 Pro to the 12 Pro because of that little size difference….but I got the 12 Pro a couple months ago and haven’t look back since!

I kept my iPhone 12 Pro Max 256gb in Pacific Blue. BEST iPhone to date in my honest opinion.

I’ve had my black iPhone 12 for a couple months. I’m very happy with it. This is the best iPhone that I’ve had.

I started out with a 12 Pro and traded that in for the silver 256GB 12 Pro Max and never looked back. Plus, I've gone all-in with MagSafe, currently using a MagSafe Otterbox Defender case; I use the Belkin Boost Charge Pro; and I have a Belkin MagSafe mount in my car.

Got the 12 Pro Max on release day. Haven't thought at all about returning or trading it. Best iPhone I ever had.

[scruffypig]

Add me to those who’ve kept theirs. I got my 12 Pro on launch day. No reason, desire or need to look back.

I got my 12 Pro Max on launch day and absolutely love this phone. There was never any question wether I would keep it or trade it in. I am now jailbroken, which gives me more of a reason to keep my phone for the customizations and tweaks. Add in the Pacific Blue and I am sold on keeping it until next year.

My family has 2 12 Pro Max's and both are hated. My wife loves her 12 Pro and I'm quite happy with my 12 mini so far. I guess that makes us 50/50.

[Cladster]

I sold my 12 64gb and got a 12 pro max 256gb, love it. Got it new sealed for $520 less that retail too off gumtree.

Wow no returns that's great to see!!

May I ask why the two 12 Pro Max's are hated?

[staceymj86]

I have had little issues with my 12 Pro Max, so I’ve seen no reason to return it or trade it in. Even with a connectivity thread on MR with members stating their connectivity issues, I still haven’t thought about returning mine. I’ve rarely had no signal. Today I’m taking a 2.5-3 hour road trip, so I get to really test out Verizon’s 5G network outside of my city and state.

My mini has been nothing less than stellar proformance is great in every way. As far as the battery goes bring a charger but we all knew that hopefully apple comes out with a battery case and I will be first in line.

Both seem to close out of different apps by themselves and do random restarts on their own. Could probably do wipe and reset but out of my control. I just hear the complaining but yet they won't give them up....

How were you able to jail break...I would like to jailbreak mine. I miss being able to customize

Have you considered contacting Apple Support? Maybe there's something amiss?

[beerwine]

I agree i love my iPhone 12

[staceymj86]

I used Unc0ver to jailbreak. I’m also still on the iOS version the 12 series shipped on 14.1. I’m missing out on all the features Apple has released after 14.1, but I love my jailbreak, and I am not having the battery issues most people are having now.

Most people are having battery issues? I don't see that. The battery on my 12 Pro Max is doing great. It's been 8 months, and it's still at 100% battery health. And I'm a heavy user.

[staceymj86]

Yes on Macrumors. There are several threads of people having battery issues. Many of them have launch day devices with their battery capacity under 90%. They have tried so many different options, and all Apple support is telling them their batteries are fine and they can’t do anything about it until the capacity reaches 80%

Now that things have opened back up we hope to go the Apple store for a check up

I think I read the thread you refer to. There's always a few who complain about battery, with each new OS. But the vast majority of users don't have those issues. One thing that can cause battery drain on a new OS, is apps that misbehave, using more resources. I've seen maybe one or two on iMore say they have battery issues on iOS 14.6.
