Is there anyone who bought the mini, and feel like they wish they have bought the regular 12 for bigger screen size? Maybe can PM me to discuss a possibility of swapping?
I used the regular 12 for a month now. I am in the mid of considering to downsizing to the mini... I actually kinda miss the weight and one hand operation on my ip7.
I thought I can do more with the bigger 12 screen, but I tried watching netflix and playing apple arcade games on the regular 12 , and I still dont find them enjoyable ... which mean in long term, I probably wont be watching movie or play games on my phone. I'll have those on my ipad instead (currently using 1st generation ipad mini which is slow and cant support any games, but planning to upgrade soon)
That left me with day to day task, mostly in between homescreen, switching apps, camera, messaging, waze .. which most of them doesn't benefit from the bigger screen. And typing with one hand is impossible (another hand have to carry my kid for example)
I probably will use my phone mostly for taking photos (I stopped using my apsc camera)... and only concern when downsize to the mini, is the the experience of viewing my photos. Bigger screen on the 12 definitely nicer to view photos... so I thought bout my work around, that is to get an ipad, and view/edit my photos through icloud photo from the Ipad instead. Not sure if this is a good solution and will work or not.. Any advice on this approach?
battery life i hope is not an issue, whenever i drive, i'll make sure it is plugged in. And I spend more time in front of my computer than my phone.
For media consumption such as watching Netflix, iPad is the better choice.
