OCR for reading documents, Photos in general I'm waiting until the 13's or what ever they will be called are released and then will re assess my requirements as that will put my 11 at 2 years old, As for the resale value of the 11 pro max, We don't get the ability here to trade in the old device, And even if we did it would be through a service provider not apple as we don't have their stores here in NZ, But I could sell it privately through our online trading system called trade me, Or word of mouth and get 5 or 6 hundred dollars for it as it's in excelant condition, The problem really is that the SE 2020 is so cheaply priced that an old phone even of the 11 range would be difficult to sell. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Malcolm Parfitt Sent: Thursday, 15 April 2021 10:24 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone 12 Pro Max questions Out of interest what do you do with the better camera?

Re: iPhone 12 Pro Max questions
Out of interest what do you do with the better camera? I have an iPhone XR currently and my current contract is soon to expire. In considering my options one factor is that Apple Care+ will expire on this device in July. So if I was to keep it after July replacing the battery currently reported as 91% would cost me more wen a replacement is required. Obviously in a year’s time my iPhone XR would be worth considerably less than it is now. Yes we’ll have new iPhone models in September but that is true every year and one has to take the plunge knowing what we have now will soon be obsolete.

Yeah the 11 has a really nice price for what's under the hood. But for those working under a little tighter budget, the 10R is a good value. I originally paid $749 for mine. But absolutely a good choice with the 11 with the extra year of support and software updates.

Re: iPhone 12 Pro Max questions
Currently I have the iPhone 12 pro, and I had the iPhone X before that. both are very close in size to the current iPhone SE 2020. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is much larger. I had no problem making the switch to the iPhone without a home button. In fact I found the transfer essentially seamless and the new gestures very natural. Now, I really prefer an iPhone that does not have a home button. My wife has the iPhone SE 2020, and while it's a good device, my iPhone 12 pro is vastly superior. The battery in my 12 Pro last much longer then on my wife's phone. It's hard to say if the iPhone 12 pro is worth more than double the money of the iPhone SE 2020. I think that's a personal choice that must be made by the individual, but I'm happy I went with the 12 pro and would do it again without hesitation. - Brad - On Apr 13, 2021, at 12:58, Lisa Belville wrote: Hi, all.

I know there's no home button, but how easy is it to unlock the screen as a totally blind person? Was it difficult getting used to the larger screen? TIA for the info.

Re: iPhone 12 Pro Max questions
Hi Lisa. I have been having my iPhone promax for several months, and I love it. It is a little difficult to use it from the beginning if you’re not used to using a phone without the home button, but once you get used to it it becomes easier than the phone with the button. Especially if you use face recognition. As for the size, at the beginning it also takes a little adjustment to finding the buttons since your fingers are used to Tapping on a smaller screen, but you should be able to adapt to all of that. As for the battery, I can tell you it does last longer then the other phones. I watch several videos throughout the day and I’m only charging my phone once at night and that should last till the following night. Of course it depends how much usage you give to the phone. as for recording videos, my wife uses my camera to take pictures and videos. She highly recommends this camera due to the high resolution of the videos and pictures. I hope my comment benefits your decision.

RE: iPhone 12 Pro Max questions
I have an 11, and never had problems from adjusting from the SE. You just learn the gestures well without Home Button, and that's that, you're good to go. I never had a problem. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Lisa Belville Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2021 1:58 PM To: V I Phone Subject: iPhone 12 Pro Max questions Hi, all.
