iPhone 12 Pro Max 12 Pro Max - Comfort poll

[gtmac]

I love the size of the 12PM. It is for sure bigger, but it feels great in my hand. I like the 12PM size better than the 11PM.

Agree I still have both, the 11 PM is now my work phone. The 12 PM is much easier to hold and feels more secure in the hand. I feel like the 11 is going to skip out of my hand.

I didn’t like the square edges at first but I really like them and the Apple case for the 12 PM. Feels solid in the hand.

Square edges with a case is a win. Without perhaps not so much, perhaps to due fatigue

I got small lady hands but got no issues with my 12 pro max

I have been living with a 6S+ for the last 5 years. I do notice the weight difference. I like how solid the 12PM feels. Having some initial fatigue holding the 12PM.

I like it, but the style of 11 Pro Max is nicer. But wouldn't change it for any other phone at the moment...

I find my 12 Pro Max comfortable to hold and use, but not as comfortable as my 11PM. For me, the 11PM was the ultimate design as far as comfort. I think the 12 with the square edges looks better, though.

Love the 12 Pro Max. Not much larger than the XS Max it replaced and I don't care about the squared edges as I use a case.

Perfect size phone for me! The extra width of the screen makes a big difference! And the camera is amazing!

12 PM great battery life. Great Camera. Takes Little patience to get acclamated with how to hold it if your hands aren’t large
Only downside is not being able to adjust the coolness of the screen
One missing feature is underscreen Touch ID which would be useful while wearing a mask
SCORE. 9 out of 10

I love it, especially with the right case. I came from a 8+ and didn’t think I would like anything else but to me this 12pro max is perfect!

Same I upgraded from the 8 Plus as well! Having basically the same phone size, but now full screen is amazing!

Naked its slightly comfortable..with the Caudabe Sheath, it’s perfect. With the Mous LimitEd 3.0 it’s ridiculously unwieldy..

I would say it depends a lot on the case. Cases that are slippery, heavy, or have sharp corners can make the Pro Max very uncomfortable, but a good case makes all the difference.

All I use on mine is a leather back piece. That with the flat sides makes for a comfortable and secure grip. Only improvement I can see at the moment - other than weight - would to make it a matte finish on the sides. This would go even better I think besides allowing an even better nonslip grip.

To be honest I went from the 11 max to the standard 12 pro as I found I wasn’t using my iPad anywhere near as much as I should have been.

Happy with the Pro as I bought the iPad for the larger screen and better use of the apps, phone is great as phone and the reasons you have a phone, iPad for everything else

12 Pro feels more comfortable and useable day to day

 

[Brien]

It’s big and heavy but me like big screens so 🤷

 

[MisterMillz]

Poll needs a fourth option. Indifferent. It’s not exactly comfortable. The 12 Pro feels way better in the hand. However, I’m not turned off by it or wishing it was different. For what it is I get better battery life and great screen immersion. Worth it.

Exactly this post! I will sacrifice some of the comfort for a big screen and all day+ battery life!

The phone is comfortable to use in the hand. Being accustomed to Plus-sized phones, I also have no issue using it single-handed. I think the difference comes when out-and-about, since it does feel huge in a pocket.

 

[dotzero123]

No issues here.. I'm very happy with my phone. It's more comfortable for me than the 11PM was.

 

[Hal~9000]

The screen size when using the device 2-handed (which is probably around 85% of the time for me) is the MOST comfortable of all the 12 series iPhones.

As for the feel in the hands, it helps a lot having the right case for it. While I love the flat screen design of the 12 Pro Max, I like just a small amount of curve in the edges.

Once I found a protective case that makes the flat edges more comfortable and completely hides fingerprints I was sold 🙂
