I find the 11" iPad pro and the iP 12 is a good combo, 6.7" won't replace a iPad for me anyway. I use the iPad way more than my phone at home.
IMHO the issue is not the size but the thickness and the weight. I use a clear case with a Pop Socket. The Pop Socket makes the phone "workable" for me. I have a regular Pop Socket on it now but I've ordered a case that has it built in so that it will lay flat due to the inset area for the Pop Socket. This is the one I got. It's due for delivery in a few days: https://www.popsockets.com/p/otter-pop-symmetry-series-case-clear/OtterPop-Clear.html?lang=en_US
Yes, this. I got pain in my tendons after using it only for a few hours..
Battery life is amazing but I can’t handle size. It’s just too big for me. 12 Pro seems to be the sweet spot.
well, because you can more easily bring the pone with you on travel etc... it does more than an ipad..
I hear ya! I suggest getting a Pop Socket. It makes all the difference!! They have a case with a Pop Socket built in so that way the phone can lay flat when you're not using the Pop Socket.Yes, this. I got pain in my tendons after using it only for a few hours..

12 pm feels lighter than the 11pm to me. Just those dang sides.. lol
I finally worked out that because i have an iPad i no longer need the max size phones. Took me a few years to realise it though
I have the iPad Mini 4 and was hoping the Max could replace it as it is a pain to have two devices to "worry" about. I don't think I can give up the Mini though as the Max doesn't totally replace its features. But I am definitely getting used to the heft of the Max. And I needed the best camera as I take photos for my work and if I don't have WiFi access, it is nice to have a larger screen for Web use.
There is a MagSafe pop socket. You just need to snap the top off when charging. I could not use the Max without a Pop Socket on it. Go to their site and see all the new stuff! But I don't see the Max as a one-hand phone though.
I actually have to give it to Apple Silicone! I have never bought an Apple accessory(not a fan of giving them more money
but this thing is the most comfy I have felt for a case. I’m going to try a couple skins tho and see how they go.
yeah i have an apple leather case its nice too, its just the Pitaka makes the phone feel so thin, and smooth....I actually have to give it to Apple Silicone! I have never bought an Apple accessory(not a fan of giving them more money
Well I’m hoping this skin makes it feel really thin! I also got a clear one to finally see how good these phones actually look walking around...
I generally hold it like this... hasn’t hurt yet. Been using it since Friday evening. I’ll be getting a case Tuesday, but rocking naked until then. Having that flat edge on the bottom actually helps me hold it easier.
Ya that’s how I hold mine. I guess i just have weak hands.I generally hold it like this... hasn’t hurt yet. Been using it since Friday evening. I’ll be getting a case Tuesday, but rocking naked until then. Having that flat edge on the bottom actually helps me hold it easier.
I am coming from an 8 Plus. 12 Pro Max just little bigger not a deal breaker. I don't know if I like this face ID as the button always works without issues. Also I think the 8 Plus screen is clearer to me. 12 Pro max camera is noticeably better but I don't care about the camera is a phone to me. I have a Spigen Thin Fit case and when the phone is on flat surface when pushing down on face it rocks, which my 8 Plus did not. The signal on Verizon appears to be just as good or better than my 8 Plus. I have set the phone to LTE as do not care about 5G at this time as is limited and do not want battery to drain. Grip wise I think the rolled edges feel more comfortable in my hands v. the flat edges. I have the 14 days to try it out hopefully grows on me.
yeah love the DB brand just wish they had CLEAR!Well I’m hoping this skin makes it feel really thin! I also got a clear one to finally see how good these phones actually look walking around...
