Yes, but you have to also consider that iPhone batteries are usually much smaller than competing Android devices, unless we're talking about the Plus/Max models which have over 4000mah batteries these days. I came from a OnePlus 8T that could charge at 65W and it was downright insane, but I RARELY ever used it. Most of the time I used that charger for my Samsung tablet. My 12 Pro quick charges at 20W using that same 65W charger since it also supports up to 45W PD charging and I find the charging speed on my small 2815mah battery to be satisfactory.

Yes it’s horrible trying to use it with a windows laptop. Every now and then my laptop just says there’s no internet and I’d check my iPhone to see that the hotspot is turned off.

Honestly thought there’s no reason to jailbreak anymore until I used the hotspot. Apple really needs to fix this.

Interesting question. I think it’s still good for one or two years. iPhone gets 5-6 years of updates. If I was in your Apple Store then I would 12 / 13 mini. Cheap device and good features.

My wife (light user) uses my old (2 years) XR because I bought myself an 13 Max Pro earlier this year. Charges the battery twice a week (battery capacity is at 91%). So if you can get it at a decent price, off course. We are counting on upgrades for another four years.

I used to run no screen protector on my previous phones because they had in-display fingerprint scanners that could be finicky with certain screen protectors. I run one on my 12 Pro, but that's also because it was used and already had one. I'll probably continue running them on future iPhones, though, since they can be had pretty inexpensive.

That’s when it becomes tricky because for me, I delete all the random stuff like memes when im done with them or random shots, and keep the important pictures. I also only take in just 12 mp and sometimes proraw when the moment is there. If you think you’ll need 256gb to have the peace of mind knowing you don’t need to worry about storage then i would say do it!

That might sound dandy but in reality I used to have the Redmi Note 10 Pro and it charged pretty fast. But without a doubt that came in defection of the battery within 6 months, lasting 2 days in only into 1 and just you have to be very careful for it not to past 100 by how fast it charges. It’s a mess, Samsung and Pixel use 25W even though their android.

I hate to say this but it’s personal preference(ik right lol). For me, I don’t really take much pictures and have barely any apps other than Youtube, snapchat, twitter, reddit, instagram, my banking apps, and all of it combined including photos take up 27gb where photos only takes up 157 mb. The new lens are nice but if you want to take advantage of the full 48mp camera, you need to take in proraw and you need to enable it in settings->camera->proraw->change proraw from 12mp to 48mp. That’s where 128gb becomes obsolete since each photo taken in proraw 48mp takes up on average 75mb. If you want to have this phone for 5 years+ and want to take full advantage of the new lens i would say go for 256gb but if you still want to have fun with the new lens but won’t be taking every single photo with proraw then 128gb should be okay!
