Are you satisfied with the size/weight of the iPhone 12 Pro Max...or do you wish you’d bought the slightly smaller 12 Pro?

Or...are you satisfied with the smaller 12 Pro...or do you wish you’d bought the larger iPhone 12 Pro Max?

I bought the 12 Pro initially but returned it after receiving the Pro Max. I planned on returning the Pro Max before January 8th to get another 12 Pro but I made up my mind. I'm keeping the 12 Pro Max. Size and weight don't bother me and I am using it mostly without a case now.

Also, I just checked Apple.com for inventory of the 12 Pro Max and there are a ton available for pickup.

I’m more than satisfied with the size of my 12 Pro Max.
So much so that I wouldn’t have minded if it was slightly larger though.

I’m glad I opted for the iPhone 12 Pro in lieu of the larger Pro Max size. For [me], the size of the iPhone 12 Pro is perfect.

I like the size and weight of the 12 Pro Max, but I wish it came larger than 6.7. I’m using a thin case and it don’t add very much weight to the device. It almost feels like I don’t have a case on it.

I would automatically choose the Pro Max but because my current XS Max is carried in the front pocket of my dress slacks 99.9% of the day...size matters, if you know what I mean. The 12 Pro Max is a bit larger...and a bit heavier than my current phone too, so that’s a push for me to go a bit smaller this round...if I go.

I’d use an Apple leather case on either, which adds scant weight & bulk. So, it’s a toss up.

The 12 pro max is only very slightly larger than an 8 plus. A few mm taller. I have both. Weight is nearly the same too. I don’t want anything smaller.

I almost bought an 11 pro max. I’m glad I waited for the 12. It is also cheaper than the 11 pro max. $200 cheaper for the 256GB version where I work. I paid $600 plus tax for my 256GB 12 pro max. The 256GB 11 pro max is still $800.

Easy choice.

The 12 Pro Max size is really great for my work and reading interests. As an IT admin I can do a lot with it and I'm a news app junkie. Battery life is an important feature brings over small phones.

I have a note 20 as my main phone and traded my iPhone 11 and got a free 12 mini from T-Mobile great deal. With a defender series case on it the size is perfect I love it. I have the best of both worlds in size and platform.

I had the 11 Pro Max and this 12 Pro Max is just slightly larger and very comfortable in the hand. I am happy with it.

Go big or go home! Once you're accustomed to a 6.5" screen, it's hard to go back unless for a short time. Use a pouch or holster and ability to carry is a non issue. You really shouldn't shove a phone in a pants pocket anyhow, but that's a discussion for another day! ;)

I looked at the pro max before getting the mini and decided on the mini I also have a note 20 which is bigger than the max.

I have to admit that I am using my 12 max more than any other phone that I have had. I use to spend more time on my iPad when possible. Now I just use the max. The flatness and size make it a joy. I wouldn't mind if it was 7 inches.

I found the 12PM a little too big and heavy and ended up getting a 12, which is a little smaller than what I'm used to but is at least more comfortable to use one-handed.

I have the 12 Pro Max and my wife has the 12 Pro. She got her’s first.

The 12 Pro feels so nice in the hand so much so I almost went that way this time.

I had an 11 Pro Max so I was already accustom to the size and felt long term I would be happier with the benefits it came with.

We are both happy with our choice.

I love my 12 Pro Max! I came from the XS Max and I will say this phone is awesome. I love the way it feels in my hand. My children and I are happy with the size of this phone. No regrets!
