With my birthday approaching, I keep thinking I should be doing the 'adult' thing. Like, save money, watch what is happening with the economy and the like. Alas, we only live once, right?

Those technical bones in my body, keep calling me to purchase this iPhone 12 Pro Max. Honestly, I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max already.

Well, come tomorrow at 08:00 Eastern, we will see if I press that 'Complete Order' button :D :p :)

Max or bust for me... Give me that 6.7" goodness... if it wasn't for screen size increase I wouldn't be upgrading at all tbh.... It's also the only reason why I upgraded from the X to the XS Max

My thoughts are very similar to yours. I loved the X, but moved to the Max for the larger screen. I purposely didn’t upgrade this past year anticipating a larger screen.
 
I have the XS Max now and already have an Otterbox Defender in hand for the 12 Max and compared them side by side, the 12 case is thinner but otherwise they look to be the same size. Hurry up 8Am is all I can say.

I decided to wait for the max to arrive in the stores before I buy it. I prefer my 11 pro over the 12 pro because it feels better when I hold it. I will order the mini @ 5am tomorrow morning for sure. I may be pass on the 12 pro altogether wait for next. kaa

Thank you! I knew it was super close to the XS Max and the comments made it seem like it was so much bigger than that! Now I know I made the right choice going for the Max this year!

If I don’t like the max I’ll return and wait til next year. None of the other new phones are good upgrades.
 
I like big phones and I cannot lie.


It's a nice phone and ipad in one device for me. Nice to surf the net and forums while laying in bed like a slob. Plus, with apple watch, less need to carry it around the office or take it out of my pants.
You got me with the “slob” comment. Lol I’m sold. 12 pro max for me!

Seriously though, I’m with you. Great for surfing, YouTube videos, movies and getting work done. Have my Apple watch for quick glances. Perfect combination.

Sort of having second thoughts, but I already have my Pitaka case, so I have no choice...
