I will echo this, I was on a 7 and it broke, so I got a regular model 12. The phone itself feels much faster, it loads quicker, the batteries last longer and the screen is much nicer to look at--but some of the apps I use are about the same for opening/loading time. I blame the apps not the phone; some are much better--Pokemon Go for example loads in just a second or two on the 12 but takes 30 or so on the 7.
