Have had the 'plus' or 'max' phones since they came out.. I like the real estate..

Same. Apple has filed patents to make their first “foldable” iPhone. It won’t be the same size that folds into a got damn phablet. It’ll be pro sized (not max), but fold in half for carrying making pocket carry..well not the new thing, the old thing made new again. Looking forward to that. I don’t think I’ll upgrade until it’s available.

I have a Pro, think mine is a 14. It’s too big as it is so I would not go bigger, as in ever. It’s so supposed to be a portable device, not a phablet. I hate the got damn phone, hate toting it around, and have ended up doing the cellular watch with APP’s in my pocket in the case and leaving the phone locked up in the truck or at home. Reading this forum, watching YT, other forums, etc, it can wait until I’m home where I use my Pad Pro. I like it 1000X better than any phone. It has a nice usable screen.

screen side in, of course!

I have the 16 pro max and it’s perfect for me. As much as I don’t want to admit it the amount of time I use it for social media far outweighs everything else combined so why have a smaller screen.

I’ve had the 15 pro max for over a year and prefer the size due to my aging eyes.

Go big or go home I say.

My first “Plus size” phone was the iPhone 6 Plus. With my old eyes it was a welcome change from the smaller screens.


Currently have the 15 Pro Max, usually carry back pocket and have never had an issue. I usually skip one or two generations depending on the trade in deals. Won’t be getting the 16, we’ll see about the 17.

I have the 15 Pro Max and glad I went with the bigger screen.

My wife has the 15 pro and I have the 15 pro max. If I use her phone I hate how small it is.

I carry 2 phones, first a work issued iPhone 12 and a personally owned Iphone 14 Pro Max. If I had to choose 1, I'd go with the Pro Max and it isn't even a close choice.

The bigger screen just works for me. Make emails easier to read, makes video's more enjoyable, etc...

My wife and I each have the 14 Pro Max and like 'em just fine. I have mine set with the biggest fonts it has and she has her fonts set much smaller. My phone fits either in the left rear pocket of my jeans or in the tech pocket that some of my pants and jeans have.

I can easily use my phone with one hand, and the fonts are big enough to read without glasses (I wear them only for driving and watching TV) and their size serves both of us well.

If all I used it for was as a phone, wouldn't mind a smaller one. But given I use it for other things (mine even has Office suite on it) I need the bigger screen. The older I get the more screen size I want. Carry mine in a holster, never in my pocket.

I have never bought the big version. I have the smaller variant of the 15 Pro now.

I have bought the ultra small version (mini) before thinking it would be more convenient and less obtrusive to my life. I then came to realize I like to see larger icons and text than they can seasonably support. So, I'm in that middle area I guess.

I bought the 14 Plus a couple of years ago and thought it was way too big after carrying it a couple of weeks. It had great battery life though. My son wanted a bigger phone, so I traded with him. I'm happy with the regular size iPhones.

This is my issue also

Not at all. Would not go back. iPhone 12 Pro Max has been great.

Most days I wish I had my StarTac back

My phone needs to fit in a t-shirt or button down shirt pocket.

I’ve had both sizes. The Pro Max was great when using it, but didn’t fit well in my pockets.

Nope

Went to a iPhone 12 Pro Max 3.5 years ago and it took half a day to get used to it and I’ll never go back to anything smaller. Just recently upgraded to a 15 Pro Max and love it.

I have a work issued iPhone 14 that feels tiny and not as useful in comparison

I had a 6S Plus and have had a 12 Pro since 2020.

I like the standard size, such as the 12 Pro for everyday use, although I wish it was a lighter like my wife's iphone 15.

The Pro Max just feels too big to me.
