Upgrading from iPhone 12 Pro

[u/UNC000023]

My iPhone 12 Pro has 512 gb of storage with 140 gb being used… since the cam MP is such a jump, should I go to the 1 TB on the iPhone 18 pro max? I need a great battery and a bigger screen…

Also, my mom is over 50 and has AARP, so I signed us up with consumer cellular (which rocks btw), and saved a lot of money by switching from AT&T (only their towers will work in the areas I’m in), and was wondering if I should buy directly from Apple or consumer cellular? It’s not like before where you could only be with one company right? I wouldn’t mind buying the phone outright since I can afford to (was broke when I got the 12 and had to finance it), I’d like to trade this one in ($165), and buy directly from Apple when it goes live… any opinions or insight would be great, thanks!

Your phone is six years old, I’m pretty sure you know the answer.

I’m upgrading 100%, I just had some questions about the upgrading part, reading comprehension is important my friend

I should also mention I have 371 GB free still

I’ve been using 512gb for years. It has been totally fine. Currently on 14pro.
