    After a decade of monotones, figure I’d step out of my comfort zone.

    Pretty serious MagSafe charger glitch. The phone locks up on the rings and must be power cycled to get to the home screen. iPhone 12 Pro.

    I'm returning my iPhone 12 Pro for the Mini.

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 06:24 AM PDT

    I, like many of you, had been on the fence for weeks. Coming from the 8, I wanted a better camera, and better battery life, but I also wanted a small phone. For me, it was the choice between the 12 pro and the 12 mini, because the 12 pro (at 128 gb) offered improvements in the same physical size over the 12, while the mini had inferior hardware compared to the Pro, but a much better size.

    I preordered the Pro and it came in yesterday. It is a stunning phone in gold. Beautiful creamy white-gold back, with shiny gold borders.

    But it feels huge. I'm a woman, and a men's size S [USA] in gloves. I could only use the phone with two hands, and it felt heavy. It was difficult to go from the top of the screen to the bottom in smooth motions. Even worse, it felt unwieldy to hold and I realized that I would probably have to buy AppleCare (an expense I usually avoid) because it feels too easy to drop. A smaller phone would be more secure in my hands, bag, and pockets.

    My hands started hurting and I realized it just wasn't worth it. The better cameras and battery life aren't worth a phone that hurts to use most of the time. Based on reviews I've read, camera performance on the 12 and 12 pro are so similar that I'm sure the mini won't represent as large a tradeoff as I had imagined.

    So I'm sending it back. It's flawless, of course, and hopefully it can be a good replacement device for someone in the future. Just wanted to share my thoughts in case it helps any of you.

    iPhone 7 from release day through to today. Happy to upgrade but sad to say goodbye. It’s hard to impress the absolute hell I put that phone through and still it works great.

    3 years on android - switched back to apple (iPhone 12 pro) honest comprehensive review

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:04 AM PDT

    3 years ago I made the switch from my iPhone 6 (previously owned the 4 before that) to the google pixel 2. A big part of that switch for me was the camera. Apple just didn't seem to care about their cameras before the iPhone X, and the pixel had great features and was a flagship.

    I am back to apple and plan on staying put now that I have had a good taste of both sides. Here is my honest take on the comparison between the 2. There are just a couple things that I still feel android is doing better.

    I'm going to start with the downsides first and then boast about the iPhone (there is way way more good than bad to share)

    ——————————————-

    CONS:

    • Siri is not as good as "ok google". Google assistant can take multiple commands, is able to answer more complex questions, and just seems more accurate overall. HOWEVER! Although android is known for its extreme customization, Siri surprisingly seems to be far more customizable with shortcuts and using them can make her a powerhouse over google for certain tasks.

    • widgets: this was a big draw for me with iOS 14 as android was already utilizing them for sometime. iOS widgets look far more beautiful...... but that is just it, they are more of a show piece that lack actual function or interaction. iOS widgets more or less just display information. On Android I can interact with the widgets right on the Home Screen without ever opening the actual app. iOS opens the full app every time I touch a widget, I can't simply scroll through lists, control music in Spotify, or scroll the stocks on the stock market app. I have to open the entire app to see more. This seems a little counterintuitive, if it is always going to open the full app then I may as well just use the normal icon and open it.

    • camera app quick access: on my pixel I simply double tap the power button to open the camera app. This means that as i am pulling it out of my pocket I can already be opening the camera app to capture a fleeting moment. iOS looses points for not being as quick and efficient in this instance.

    • finger print scanner on the back of the phone. As I pull the phone out of my pocket i put my finger on the scanner and it is not just unlocked but opened to the homescreen when i bring it out of my pocket.

    • System settings : this is just different. I did like on android that you can swipe down from the top and access system settings very quickly, where as iOS requires searching for the settings app. This is more of and adjustment to get used to, not a huge end of the world. ———————————————

    PROS:

    • the iPhone 12 pro is freaking beautiful, the build quality feels like nothing else and the display is vibrant and accurate. (Although the lack of 120hz is a big downer on a premium phone in 2020)

    • iOS feels far more smooth and integrated, I personally just prefer the look and function of it over android. It really feels more intuitive to how I use a phone. As well simple things like sharing or copying an image is way faster and smooth on iOS. Same with downloading images or marking them up with the iOS app. On android I had to download an image, search for it, then send it to a friend. iOS literally lets you copy and paste images into messages or emails!

    Face ID passwords: although i could use my fingerprint for biometric passwords on android, something about the smoothness of Face ID for logging into apps feels far more intuitive and like i am living in the future.

    • the cameras on the iphone 12 are beautiful! And the video quality is stunning. As a videographer by profession, I can actually see this camera replacing my pro camera when on family vacation. And the ability to play with third party lenses from companies like "moment" really excites me.

    • the processing power of the a14 bionic chip! I can play the best games and do video editing smoothly on this phone! Yesssss

    • Apps! It's amazing how many apps feel like they are designed for IOS first and that android feels more like an after thought. Even Facebook! My Facebook app would always alert me of a new notification but when I went to check the notification list it would not update without repeated refreshing. I even reinstalled the app and did a factory reset on my phone, and this problem persisted. On iOS..... It works smoothly as it's supposed to. As well there are literally some apps that are only iOS.

    • Customization: Android users love to harp on apple for not allowing full customization..... The more I customized my android the slower and more unreliable it became, my camera app would freeze and crash often, one app hijacked my Home Screen and I literally had banner ads on my regular Home Screen! iOS is far more stable because of apples regulations, and honestly IOS offers customization in the places I care about most which are mainly aesthetics.

    • Shortcuts app: I am amazed at what can be done with this app. And it truly is a level of customization and integration that I can't say I found on android (that is stable anyways).

    • iMessage: I realize this depends on your country as some places WhatsApp is standard for everyone. My wife and my friends are all apple, and they would text me videos the took with their phones. But because I am not on iMessage, videos would be hot garbage and I would have to remind them to send me videos via Facebook messenger. Now that I am back, I can share a receive videos in high quality!

    • health app: very cool insight for tracking health and awesome that 3rd party apps can integrate with it to keep all info in one spot. Especially if you plan on an Apple Watch .

    • integration with other apple products: I forgot how nice it was to connect and share with my MacBook so easily. And to airdrop so fast with my wife!

    • keyboard: being able to hold the space bar to move the text icon 👍

    • Adaptive brightness: this is small, but my pixel was just not accurate with this and I was always adjusting brightness for my environment. So far the 12 pro is bang on.

    ———————————————-

    That's all I can think of at the moment, let me know if you have anything to add from switching. Cons or pros?

    iPhone 12 Pro comfort

    Posted: 24 Oct 2020 04:11 AM PDT

    Switched from iPhone 11 to iPhone 12 Pro. I found the 11 a bit unwieldy at times both in terms of weight and size. I don't have especially big hands for a guy. The iPhone 12 pro is marginally different in weight and dimensions but feels a million miles more comfortable to use for extended periods. Does anyone else find this too? Is it the slight differences in weight or do you think it's because of the flat design?

    Can confirm �� It doesn’t work without the MagSafe case tho.

    Posted: 23 Oct 2020 04:24 PM PDT

    You can tell an app has been updated for the 12 screen size if the keyboard sits lower. Very subtle
