They seem to be quite similar size "on paper", but I guess the squared off design could make it feel different in hand.
I was quite sure to go for the regular iPhone 12 this year, possibly a 12 mini.
But there seem to be good deals out there for the iPhone 11 pro at the moment. Last version of a true and tested design is not necessary a bad thing.
I just fondled an iPhone 12 Pro IRL...
Feels frikkin weird, bigger and heavier than the 11/XS/X which is exacerbated by the slab sides.
The steel band around the edges is really freaky, feels cheap & plastic somehow, like a Samsung from 2009. Maybe it's coated with the same 'ceramic' stuff as the screen? Whatever it is, it feels nasty in the hand to me... Weird squeaky 'juddering' sensation when I ran my finger along it.
The bog-standard 12 feels much nicer!
