The best part for me that wasn't mentioned, the slightly rounded corners! I hate holding anything since iPhone 12 in my hands, the edges are sharp and cut into your fingers. Every time I take iPhone X I'm just amazed how comfortable it is and what a step back was the iPhone 12 design.

I like the flat side as the phone doesn’t slip out of my hand so easily, but definitely agree that the slight curving will make it feel better!

On the contrary, I vastly prefer the 6/SE/13/14 design, as it doesn't rotate along the long axis as easily in my hand. I was very happy when they abandoned the 10/11 design with the rounded edges. I have very soft hands, and "cut into your fingers" seems pretty hyperbolic. The current 14 Pro edge design (typing this on one) seems perfectly adequate to me. (The sharp points at the edges of the finger slot in the middle of the MBPs always surprised me with their pointyness, however. The last Intel MBP was particularly sharp, however the points have been softened a lot in M1/M2 land.)

Visually I much prefer the squared off edges, but I agree. The 14 Pro is the first iPhone I’ve regulsrly used a case with because I just cannot keep hold of the damn thing—when the phone angles as I reach across the screen I guess the lack of surface area touching my hand means it sorta just pops out. I find it really bad ergonomically. Flat edges with rounded corners seems a nice middle ground. What I really want is a Pro Mini. I bought a 12 mini because that year the hardware gap between Pro and not was very small. The battery sucked ass but it was a dream to hold.

  Love the mini. I hope Apple comes out with a mini every other year.

  The 14 Pro's edges are also worse because of how damn heavy the thing is. The 15 Pro is said to be about 9% lighter thanks to the titanium, so hopefully that will alleviate some of that issue too.
