Just seeing what’s everyone opinions are regarding 15 Pro size preference.
 
I chose the smaller size as I want the smallest iPhone with the best cameras. If they made a mini (at all, I suppose) Pro, that would be mine…

15 Pro if you have to have the latest, otherwise find a deal on the 13 Pro and enjoy.
 
The regular pro size if my preferred size however the features of the pro max for current generation make it the best choice.

Sometimes it’s hard to make this decision. I have had pro & pro max sizes. To me the main thing the pro max is better for is video watching, and games, and of course a little better battery life.
Did you decide yet?
 
Having got my first Max iPhone recently, it's Max all the way for me. But that's me. It's a massive improvement over the smaller model.

I went from an iPhone X to the 15 ProMax and it is a wonderful upgrade. Love the size and the haven't had any issues carrying it around in my front pocket.
 
I prefer the pro, the pro max is way to big for my pockets, my purse and for me to hold comfortably. I would like the extra zoom and battery life (I think?) the pro max has, but the size is a dealbreaker for me.
Having that said I'm not displeased with the battery life of the 15 pro and I don't miss the extra zoom and I rarely use the phone for watching videos.

For middle-aged eyes, do you find the Max actually make a difference vs newsing to use larger text? I currently have a 13 Pro.
If you use enlarged text then it looks more natural on max size - enlarged text is too cramped on regular size.

If you are not increasing text size - it is the same font size on both max and regular and thus small. Max just fits 2-3 lines more of that smaller font on the screen.
