After 5 years with my iPhone 12 Pro Max which was an amazing phone, I had every intention of going longer with it until I decided that I was tired of having such a large phone. I told my wife, who has a 12 mini, that I wanted to look into getting a smaller phone. Since the mini is no longer offered, I decided to set my sights on the 17e or 17 and with t-mobile offering some good deals on trade-ins, I chose to trade in for the iPhone 17.
