I’m not young and I consider two years to be a long time to wait. Given the amount of work it takes, is it actually a long time? No. But I’m also not going to wait two years to play games I’m interested in when there’s something that can play them now.

I would personally recommend the 14 Pro coming from a X. I had the X and then the 11 Pro. Went 12 Mini in 2020 because the increase from 5.7 on the X/11 Pro to 6.1 just seemed a bit too large to me. Having just upgraded to the 14 Pro, it’s closest in size/usability to the X that I think we are ever going to get. The Pro Max/Plus models are non starters for me.

After 2 years with the Mini, I was personally ready to go back to a larger phone. It was fine during the throes of the pandemic, but now that I’m out and about more, the battery just wasn’t cutting it. I was sick of having to charge 2-3 times a day.

Also, I’ll say that in 2 years, I never quite got used to typing on the more cramped keyboard. It feels good to be able to sprawl out again.
