Ordered a 12 pro yesterday that’ll be with me today.
Have an 8 at the moment, with a 5 month old the main reason for the upgrade was the camera.
Whilst the 8 is passable, low light it was awful and no portrait mode was a bit naff, even my wife’s SE took far better looking shots.
I’d much rather gone for the mini when it’s out as I don’t like a large phone, but theory was get the best camera possible (I know the max is better, but that’s just too big) for pictures of the little one.
We have a ‘proper’ camera, but it hardly gets used, isn’t convenient, and I’d rather something I can point and shoot to take a good shot 90% of the time rather than faffing with settings, lenses, by which time the moment has gone.
That was how I justified it to myself anyway
The shiny sides do look a bit naff from why I’ve seen, but it’s coming with an Apple silicone case as well so that should at least negate that.
