Anyone here upgraded from iPhone 11 to 12 Pro Max? I am in dilemma as to get 12 Pro Max or 12 Mini

I definitely love a good camera on a phone and also bigger storage (will definitely go for 512GB) if i get 12 Pro Max.

Does it feel too big in your pocket or hands? 

I know the battery/camera/storage is definitely way better than 11. I am also considering 12 mini after seeing that the camera difference between 12 mini and 12 Pro Max isn't that huge. The only downside for mini is that there is no 512GB and smaller screen (harder to read text?). But I have a small hand and mini might be easy to hold though. Love to hear opinions from you guys

I upgraded from 11 pro to 12 pro max. 11 is 6.1? 11 pro 5.8" was kinda small for me. Not so comfortable for media consumption or gaming. So an upgrade to 12 pro max is a big leap in size and great for consuming media and gaming. The only down side is the huge size. I had to give up my big 2nd android phone for smaller replacement so more convenient to bring out. If you want to cut down on phone usage, mini is a good way to go. You will less likely to use your phone for a long period of time.

Thank you guys for the input.

After watching the reviews and reading the difference, I think I will get 12 Pro Max.

Pros of 12 Pro Max over 12 mini
-More storage (512GB)
-Better battery (can last 40% longer than 12 Mini) [From YouTube comparisons]
-Bigger screen, easier for the eyes. (can watch videos and read text easily)
-Can type faster and more easily on bigger screen (less typo)
-Better camera (slightly)

Pros of 12 Mini
-Cheaper
-Smaller & Lighter (easier to hold, carry, and put into pocket)
Actually iPhone 11 is currently my secondary device as I normally use it to take pictures/videos and upload to social media only. My main phone is an Android phone ( Mi Max 3 ) which is slightly larger than 12 Pro Max. The reason I use this Android phone is that I love to read articles and news a lot and big text definitely helps and I can transfer pictures from my Windows PC to MicroSD card easily. And looking at Instagram pictures on my Mi Max 3 (bigger screen) is better than my iPhone 11. The only problem with this big sized phone is that I can't put it in my front pocket. I have to use back pocket or put in my bag most of the time.

If I were to get iPhone 12 mini, I might still use Android as my main device and 12 mini for just the camera. But if I were to get iPhone 12 Pro Max 512GB, I will make this my main phone, while my Android phone will become my secondary phone.

Have you tried one of this to transfer your photos to usb drive? The one with lightning port can plugin portable USB drive too.

now i wish someone made a midrange case comparison between

X-One v Torras v ESR v Ringke

I can compare them I have ESR and Ringke and the taobao one I would say same as torras but on steroid. Better.

They are all very similar, but I’ve already put the ringke and ESR to storage as I won’t be using them anymore because the lack of magsafe. Overall the torras design are better fit than ESR. Refer post above for photos.

Not all. There are few in my library that is not. And some has already been updated.

Maybe they are still updating. Older albums are already in lossless format while the newest ones are not.

What's the best options to enjoy lossless quality? Good wired headphones? Ok also if connect with lightning?

Think somebody just mentioned about lightning cable, referring to the top. And need DAC all sorts to be able to play lossless.

I also read some articles saying that majority can’t really tell the difference between lossless or not anyways unless you are an audiophiles with all the best hardwares at your disposal. XD

i think it only refers to airpod max even using lightning cable, still not able to carry lossless.. didn't read the article.
