Hi I am running a I phone 8 and have been due for a upgrade for some time since telus hear in Canada has the phones for 0 dollars down and I am wondering what phone I should get? I just downloaded the LiDAR app and I was told that it only works on the I phone 12 and above. From Mich.

If you have an XR you really should wait for the 13 series phones unless of course therre is something wrong with your XR and it doesn't work any more. The 12 series phones with first generation 5G are in my opinion like the iPhone 5, 6, 7 and iPhone X, all of these are not rated as highly as the 5S, 6S, 8 and XR/iPhone 11. Apart from second generation 5G support it is rumoured that the iPhone 13 phones will have both Touch Id and Face Id which will give you the best of two worlds, they are rumoured to all have LiDAR which going forward I am sure will be used by apps such as Seeing AI and others to give you more and better information about your surroundings. I furthermore don't see all that much reason for a blind person to get a Pro phone unless of course somebody likes the huge size of the Pro Max phones so the regular iPhone 13 will most likely be an excellent phone and I may consider upgrading from my iPhone 11 if it does indeed have both Face Id and Touch Id as well as LiDAR..

Hi Pete, Thanks for your reply, out of interest apart from storage what do you find the advantages are of the 12 Pro Max over the XR from a blind person’s perspective? Thanks.

I will occasionally lose a call, but I love in a concrete steel building, and I use Wi-Fi calling. As for the size, going back to that, it’s only about .6 inches bigger all the way around, and doesn’t feel all that much different. Yes there is a little bit more mass, but I think overall I made a good choice. I feel like I was due an upgrade, as I wanted more storage. For what it’s worth, my phone still fits in my military style belt clip case just fine. Egun On, Lagunak!

Obviously the camera is not as important to us, how many of us take photos I wonder? But if the improved cameras improve the performance of apps like Seeing AI and Envision AI then that’s another story. Then there’s Lidar I don’t see much being made of this in the apps developed for us. Perhaps Lidar Has some benefit to us in standard apps and I would welcome any feedback members have on this. So my options as I see it are to keep my XR upgrade to a 12 or refer in the hope the 13 offers significant advantages. The size of the 12 Pro Max is a little concerning I wonder how it compares to an XR? Too many options really confusing!

Hello Dennis, I take your point, but my XR trade in value would be reduced also by that time. I suppose you have to take the plunge and update at sometime knowing newer technology is often just around the corner.

You will maximize the number of updates you will get. You will also get the latest chip etc. From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > On Behalf Of Malcolm Parfitt Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2021 5:43 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: IPhone 12 call quality and reliability? Hello Friends, I know some of you will have had your iPhone 12’s for some time now in all its incarnations. My contract here in the UK is due to expire imminently. I was considering an iPhone12 model until I read this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252092357 So my question is how have you found call quality especially those made over what we here in the UK call a mobile network. Have you experienced failed calls, bad quality calls or dropped calls? I would appreciate any thoughts. I know I could wait for the iPhone13 but thoughts on the 12 please. Thanks.
