Joshua, Depending on how much longer you need to save for .. well that might play into your decision. If you were ready today, then getting the 12/12 Pro now I think would be fine. Remember the 12 has only been out for just a few months. If you have 3 or 4 more months to save, then at that point I'd wait.
Some of the comments others have made are valid about 5G and other features, but again depending on where you live .. when will 5G come into play. I still have areas around me that are 3G...LOL...

I bought my iPhone 7 in October 2016. If 2021 will be the last year it will receive a full iOS update, then I will have had a fully updated and functional device for six years. Few companies in the technology industry continue to support devices for this long. I have not changed the battery and it still lasts for a day of use. I am actually looking forward to a mini iPhone when I replace my 7. The market for used or refurbished iPhones is pretty robust. They sell for a lot less than what they did a few years ago because of all the discounting, rebates and payment plans for new iPhones.
