iPhone Xs Max has a wider edge-to-edge panoramic screen than the iPhone [#] Plus series phones, and yet it's Mail app on the iPhone Xs Max behaves in a crippled fashion where it refuses to show the mail list and a full email preview side by side simultaneously. Instead, in landscape mode, it floats the email list ON TOP OF the email content.
Gone is the tap, tap, tap to quickly switch between emails. Instead, every tap hides the mail list and requires you to tap the back button. Worse.... if you scroll the email the back button disappears so it requires another tap to bring it back. So your tap, tap, tap becomes tap x 6 or tap x 9 to switch between the same 3 emails.
On top of that, click "Edit" to select and delete multiple emails and you can no longer see the preview of the selected email as it is selected for deletion. So no way to quickly visually confirm you are deleting the correct email.
The "Plus" iPhones were for the "Road Warriors" and "Power Users" who lived on their phones -- including for professionals -- had to triage email. Reviews of iPhone 6 Plus were glowing about this. The iPhone Xs Max has a bigger and better screen and you pay for it.... Why is iOS 12 crippling the Mail app on iPhone Xs Max to treat it like it has a smaller screen?
