on paper yes the old max model looks like the 6.1 but to me not even close!! the 6.1 is long and skinny making it hard to read… and narrow.Exactly - and I guess people coming from the old max isn't missing THAT much screen space with the 12 or 12 pro. Last year you had to choose between 5.8" and 6.5" - this year 6.1" is closer to the old max model - but of course the 6.7" on the new is nice. I guess that is why my dream iPhone would be a "non-pro" iPhone 12 Max
I compared my new 12 Pro Max to a colleague‘s 8 Plus and yes they are identical width and the Max is only slightly higher. I used to love my old 7 Plus, but have gone with smaller phone since the X, and now wish I had gone Max again before now. So much better to use!The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the exact same width and less than 1/8" taller than your iPhone 8 plus, the same as my old 6s plus that I replaced with the 12 pro max.
This is what I don't understand: basically, the 12 Pro Max is the same size as the old "plus" phones. I honestly don't notice the difference at all. Do you really feel that the additional 1/8" height makes it hard to put in a pocket?
Anyway, it's just a personal thing and Apple certainly has a size to suit almost everyone now.

That is true in terms of the size. But I didn't like the grip on 8+ at all, while the same size is much grippier on the Max due to square sides.
I agree the square side feel much more secure to hold - to my surprise I much prefer. I feel Apple have got it exactly right this time. I have been upgrading yearly the last few years, but unless there is some unmissable enhancement next year, can see the 12 Pro Max being with me for a few years.
I am. I downsized and the weight different and ease of carrying and usage works for me
Upgraded from the XS Max as well and I love it. It's a lot thinner than the XS Max when in an Otterbox. I realize this is due to a case design change but since that's the case I use it means the phone is thinner for me. I also love the camera ❤️
30% at the end of the day? How much screen time do you have lol I've had to work to get it down to 50%.
Average screen time over the last 10 days has been 3hrs 41 min, screen off has been 10hrs 25 min.
Yeah I did a 12 pro from an 11 pro Max for a few weeks. I preferred the size but once the 12 pro Max came out I had to get it. Gave the 12 pro to family and yep. While the 12 pro Max is huge and pulls pants down - the battery and screen space can’t be beat.
