Hi, just got My 12 pro max.. And holy Mother of huge god this is HUGE. Haha. I am really in chok. It is and it feels huge. Like an mini iPad..


What do you other say, Who got it in hands.
What phone did you have previously?
 
It’s definitely bigger, but it feels much bigger because of the flat sides and extra screen size. It just feels solid to me. It actually feels more secure to hold than my 11 pro max.

And this years lineup is absolutely gorgeous!

When will they sell the unlocked 12 pro max?
 
I feel the same way. Side by side this thing is way bigger than my 11PM. Yikes! I'm not sure what to do!
Yeah... I'm really not happy and will have to sleep over it. I actually stopped the data transfer from my old phone when I saw them next to each other on my desk. Really not a fan of the glossy, straight sides either. So would have to put it in a case which then adds to the size again...

Solid is the word, it feels like a solid chunk of metal.
By far the most well built phone Apple have ever released.
I’m coming from a 11PM and it is noticeably heavier, but I’ve not really noticed a difference in physical size. It doesn’t “feel” bigger to me, but it does look chunkier.
Love it and so pleased I upgraded. They are gorgeous in the flesh.

I'm loving the extra real estate when typing (eyes are not what they used to be!) and the less slippery feel in hand. As mentioned above, it doesn't feel too much bigger but in many ways more substantial than the 11PM. I'm absolutely in love w/ the phone's appearance and form factor.
 
I went in store to check one out and I have to say it’s not as big feeling as I thought. Probably helps that I wear a size L/XL glove. For small hand people I could see issues.

Currently have the Xr and ever so slightly thinking of an upgrade.

oh and if you’re wondering it is true what they say about big hand people.... they do have easier time grabbing stuff. 😆

100% agree. My favorite design of all time was the 5S and this reminds me of that, just far better.

I’m way happier with this phone than I thought I’d be!
 
When I close my eyes and go from 11 pro Max to 12 pro Max, the difference is negligible. I think there are three phones in apples line up. The mini cause it’s the only key one handed phone, the 12 which is also a two handed phone for most, and the 12 max for people who want battery and screen. The 12 pro is too close in price to the Max and the 12 is cheaper with better battery.
