I’m going to go the other way and recommend you get a Face ID enabled phone. It’s a neat way to unlock your phone and it’s done really well. No friction.
Storage wise, it really depends on what you do. I’ve been running on 64GB for ages and I’m not even close to capacity. But if you play lots of games (that tend to have beefy apps) or make lots of photos you’ll run out of storage.
I would go for the 11, but I have fairly large hands. If you are looking for something smaller, then the 12mini is the obvious answer.
FaceID is so good that you don’t think about it until you use a device that doesn’t have it. I hate the fingerprint reader on my Pixel 6. It’s so inaccurate and slow, often prompting me to try two or three times before asking for a pin instead.
FaceID only ever fails when I’m partially under covers or the sun shines on it. Otherwise my phone is unlocked the moment I lift and look at it.
i totally agree with u ! faceid is indeed so great on my iPad. Plus i am paying for iCloud, so storage might not be a huge problem :) gonna get the 12 mini because even if i have large hands, i always loved small phones!! thx a lot
