I’ve always been against the Pro Max phones personally, because I felt they were too big. I decided to give one a chance though, and got the 15 Pro Max. I eventually got used to it but there have been times where I felt like it was just too big.

I decided to switch carriers so I needed a T-Mobile phone and went back to the regular Pro size. After holding my brother’s Pro in my hand, I felt I missed the more compact size and lighter weight. Also figured since the 16 PM is slightly bigger, it would be a “best of both worlds” type of situation.

However, I’m now starting to miss the Pro Max. My 16 Pro just feels too small. Anyone else experience a similar regret?
 
For me the positives outweigh the negatives. It is a better "mobile" device for when on the go. I also hated how the Pro Max felt in my pocket.

If you mainly use your phone at home consuming media or for reading, the Pro Max might the better phone.
 
I have no regrets... I had always small pro. Got my first Max with the 14 and now the 15 Plus... but after getting the 16 Pro I'll never go back to a big phone again. It feels so much comfortable in every way... in pocket, in hands... it's just a big difference imo.
 
My one & only “large” phone was the 7 Plus. Hated the brick size, went back to standard with the Xs and have been Pro ever since.
