    My wife got my 12 pro max and it works perfectly fine, good speeds, no load times between fast app switching / menu / camera whatever. I wouldn’t see why not 👍🏼

    I use a dedicated digital Olympus camera when taking pictures so the phone camera is ignored. My old lens from my film camera days fit the OM10. The RAM and storage were the deciding factors when picking my first Apple toy. I regret getting the iPhone 14 plus as it was too much money for my uses, but it does promise a long life. The design means nothing as I always put a thick protective case on the phones I carry. I have no vanity about what phone I am seen carrying. As a phone, I will use it until the phone fails, Verizon no longer supports it, or I die.

    Depends on your price range. My 12 Pro works just fine except the battery is getting to the point where I think I might replace it.

    Normally I upgrade every year to the model two years old. If I can find a cheap enough 13 Pro ($325) I’ll buy it and sell my 12 Pro for $275 and just upgrade for half the cost of a battery replacement.

    I have a iPhone 12 ProMax and the battery is still great. Had it for about three years and this month I’ll finally pay it off. 🥹

    I could easily use it another year. I’ve never had any hardware issues either or had to factory reset it.

    It all depends on the price and condition.

    The 12 Pro models have 6GB RAM (the non-Pro 12 has 4GB) and a processor that’s modern enough to give many years of high performance service. And the triple camera setup is great.

    Obviously each year the new models add more features and performance, but that adds more cost. And it’s about getting a balance between the two.

    I just got a like-new 12 Pro 256 with a brand new genuine Apple battery, and I paid less than £400. The equivalent 15 Pro 256 would cost £1100, so my new phone was around 1/3 the price of a new 15 Pro 256, but is way more than 1/3 the phone. And it should easily last 5 years.

    But everyone makes different choices and has different needs. A 13 Pro or 14 Pro would be better, faster, 120hz display, etc. but they would be more expensive. And it’s about finding the right balance for you

    Only you can make the right decision. Compare specs and prices and make an informed choice.
