Opinions can be had by everyone, but not everyone has knowledge about opinions!
Guys, if you're coming from an older model, this phone is completely satisfactory!
Facts: I came from an iPhone 12 mini purchased in September 2021 from a well-known chain store for around 800+ euros! Today, this phone with 84% battery life can be traded and upgraded at well-known chains for 207€, and if you're lucky, you might be able to sell it for up to 300€ on the FB marketplace, although most ads are below 250€.
Overall, from the first moment with moderate use, I couldn't even make it through half a day!
Therefore, this upgrade was worth it, considering that now with more use, I comfortably get through the day, so I am very satisfied!
- Was this upgrade worth over 900€?
- No, but it's an iPhone, and it's known that you pay for the brand and the connectivity, especially if you're married to an Apple computer!
Overall, everything in a phone is about the software! Yes, Apple rushed to release the new iOS because of the dynamic island, resulting in initial issues that are constantly improving with system updates.
As for those who claim it overheats, if you buy an authentic wall charger and don't use a cheap 1€ cable from AliExpress, then the phone won't heat up at all, and you won't have any issues with battery life!
In conclusion, in my humble opinion, upgrades to the regular 15 from recent pro and pro max models are pointless and unnecessary! You can find similar performance in terms of speed, camera, accessibility, etc. in an Android phone at a significantly lower price, but as we said, you pay for the brand!
I was disappointed that the regular and plus models don't come with a 120Hz screen, but supposedly, the company claims that the upgrades make the motion on the screen so "smooth" that it appears better compared to other 60Hz phones. I'll be honest, it's obvious that 60Hz is outdated in 2023 (we're approaching 24) and it's exactly the same as other phones with 60Hz. Generally, if you've seen a phone with a 120Hz refresh rate, I believe it would definitely impress you and make you consider choosing a similar phone!
Final thought:
Upgrading from the 12 mini is definitely worth it! Especially if you chose the mini for its size, the difference is not significant compared to the pro and higher models!
