iPhone 15 Pro Max dimensions

[EdwinG]

I went to the Apple Store earlier to see the physical dimensions of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

My first impressions are: this device is huge. It is really way too big, even with Reachability enabled. It barely fits in the palm of my own hand.

I really wish Apple made a iPhone Pro model with the battery life of the iPhone Pro Max, but physics prevents that (right now).

So it left me wondering:

1. How are people using these devices (one handed, two handed)?
2. How do they like the size of the phone?

Owned mine for less than 24 hours and love the size coming from a pro model. Remember there is reachable mode to help you reach with one hand and as far as size goes it’s not that much bigger than the pro model.

That’s the thing.

Even with Reachability active, I can’t reach the corners. And it’s a feature I use regularly on my iPhone 11 Pro.

I mean it it’s not much bigger than the pro give it a try.

It is an adjustment coming from a 12 Pro to a 15 Pro Max but I have no regret!

I probably will. The battery life is the important feature for me; my phone has currently about 5-6 hours of autonomy before reaching 20% SoC.

I'm going to go from an iPhone 11 Pro, which - I think - is the smallest iPhone Pro ever made

Good luck with your new phone.

So, the data transfer was painful, mostly because it's all manual.

I decided to start fresh on this iPhone, because I was suspecting some form of iOS corruption on my iPhone 11 Pro. It turns out that I was correct.
My Apple Watch had to be completely reset from scratch, because (1) I was not offered the option of transferring it on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and (2) when I unpaired it from the iPhone 11 Pro, it never backed it up (or even ask to do so). I was only left with my my Apple Watch Series 0's backup from *checks notes* October 2018. Apple really needs to decouple the Apple Watch from the iPhone on that front.

The eSIM transfer went smoothly however, more than nanoSIM transfer from the iPhone 6s to the 11 Pro.

But, boy, do I wish there was a settings synchronization setting. There are thousands of settings, and going through each one is a PITA.

Glad it all worked out for you.
