Me watching this this with a iPhone 6 with a broken screen and loads of random lines on the screen : *interesting*

[TuckerTheReader]

i'm bookmarking this video. I'm purchasing my 12 next week. and I'm upgrading from a 6s so I'm totally new

Face ID is so fast, I thought my phone was unlocked all the time. It literally unlocks as I reach for it. Crazy fast!

[thiccieredd]

So far for first impressions (I came from an iPhone 7 so take this with a grain of salt) the screen looks amazing, so far the battery charges fast and doesn’t drain very fast, perfect size for me, and it’s shape is very comfortable

[sherimao]

The first few things you should do are:
Get a case
Set it up
Get a screen protector.

Got 12 from 6, with 6 years of using it, and I’m loving it ☺️

[pablo.m]

I upgraded from a 7 to a 12. It really just feels amazing, it’s really light and the camera is amazing. Also even tho the 5G isn’t the best right now, it’s a nice flex to have on the right hand corner😂

[wellgranted]

Upgraded from my 7 to the standard 12 a few days ago and am loving it. I got the blue 64GB but only because I primarily use iCloud. It’s been wild to get used to having so much screen and how fast everything operates.

[emilyanna]

after a while ur phone understands what brightness u like and when

so i find i rly helpful

[nathanb]

watching this on my new iphone 12, just wanna say thank you brandon for all your videos. they’ve been really helpful and i don’t regret leaving my 7 behind, its been strange adjusting to having no home button but i’m sure i’ll get used to it :). also, i got the 128gb (mostly cos u recommended it) and i’m sure i am not going to regret that decision!

Great tips. I migrated from the 6S, so this new phone was initially steep. My hobby horse is lanyards. When I got the 6S in 2015 I couldn't figure out how to carry it. I immediately put it in a LifeProof case so I could carry it while sea kayaking. I ended up hot gluing a couple of string loops to the back bottom of the case and then tied these on a piece of parachute cord as a lanyard around my neck. Worked great; my students, couldn't wait to let me know how stupid it looked. Fully 1/3rd of their phones had cracked screens at any one time. "I climbed mountains all over Japan with my phone hanging from my neck - no problem."
For the new iPhone 12 pro max, I wanted to upgrade. In 2015/16 there were no lanyards for smart phones (except the waterproof baggies. Not one of the cases at the Apple store even had an attachment point.) Now there are lanyards but it seems they're where I was at the beginning of figuring this out five years ago.
This time: 1/4" webbing. Sewn loops at the bottom, small cheap (Not the better quality) carabiners. These clip on to webbing oops extending from the back/bottom of the case (Survivor) . Roughed up areas on the back of the case. I used 5200 glue, but hot glue worked for the last one.
I hang the strap over the left side of my neck, down my back so it hangs off my right side by my hip. It's always at hand, never in the way, and it can't fall out of a pocket.
Near the top of the strap I sewed a loop (at my sternum) that I attached another carabiner to. On the back of the case I left one of the glued straps a bit high in the middle (balance) of the case. It has a carabiner attached to it. Now when I want to automatically record video (a crooked car rental place, crimes, etc...) I can quickly turn on my camera, then attach the two carabiners together and I've got a body cam. By not holding it up it's less conspicuous. Hope this is at least interesting. I don't think it's all that unique, except no one seems to be doing it. Happy to share any of this with anyone who is interested.

I bought Iphone 12. I was an android user and switched to iOS... It’s really awesome.

[vonsopas]

I just jumped from iPhone 6 to 12 mini and it is stressing me out to learn all the new stuff lol. Thank you for making my life a bit easier.

[lawrencedaquiado]

I just bought my 12 now. However, I was skeptical at first which one to buy 11 or 12 but since 11 series are out of stock I bought 12, and I am happy with my decision.

Dear Brandon
thanks a bunch, for another awesome, professional video.
In Tip 7 You‘ve said: Get a power block, if you haven’t one already.
I understand why You suggest to get one, since the new iPhones doesn’t have it in the box.
Regarding the battery-health, I‘ve only used a 5 watt charger so far, I’ve never used a 10 or 18 watt charger for my 11 Pro Max, because of the heat.
And after 11 month with 126 battery-cycles, the battery health is still 100%
Including: Usage between 80-30% and never charged it wirelessly.
Why did I go to the trouble of this special charging treatment?
To avoid any kind of heat, because heat is a battery killer.
I think the faster someone charges his/her cell, it generates more heat
Greetings from Winterthur (Switzerland)

I upgraded from an iPhone 6S to my iPhone 12 this past May 2022!! I ❤ my iPhone

[alex_ahn]

I had a 8 and I just upgraded to the 12 and MAN it’s a HUGE JUMP! Definitely worth the $830 cash I spent

[lynnsmith]

Upgraded from 5S to 12 - love it so far but so much to learn and your video really helped. Will be referring to it again. Thank you.
