Pre-orders are going up in about 2 days and was wondering which phone size you guys were getting between the two pro models.

I'm on a 6 Plus and I'm not sure which one to go for. I like the big size for media consumption but putting this in pockets has never felt completely comfortable the past few years. It never felt "right" when I slipped it into my pockets so I'm a bit conflicted on which one to get.

Which one will you guys be getting?
 
Max easy. If I never had either that’s the one I start with anyways. You’ll know soon enough
 
11 Pro Max! Went from a 6 Plus to an SE. The smaller size was great up to a point. My mother commented last week that my phone was small. Thanks mom.

I actually prefer the smaller phone lol. I am considering the 11 Pro. The bigger real estate is cool and all but I have an iPad Pro and I prefer my phone screen to not be that big. I actually went from a 6 plus to a 7
 
Yeah, I went from an iPhone 5 to a 6 Plus then to an SE. I tried to install a new battery in my 6 Plus two weeks before a trip to Italy, folded the battery by accident and my 6 Plus combusted. I thought of replacing it with another 6 Plus but I didn't want to spend that kind of money again so close to a refresh. I bought the SE because it basically had the guts of the 6s but not the price. I've had it three years now and I've missed having a larger screen.

I don’t mind the note 8 , and the note 10 plus screens but the plus iPhones I don’t like . They are taller which I find annoying. The only big screen phone I broke was the 6 plus . Broke it 5 times. I love the X and the screen size
 
I am so incredibly torn on this. I prefer the size and weight of the Pro but the extra battery life of the Max is a huge benefit.

I'm leaning Pro right now since I have chargers everywhere but I may change my mind a few more times before Friday.

I have the XS Max. I love the extra screen but it is bulky to lug around. If I did upgrade, I was originally planning for the 11 Pro but I may stick with the 11 Pro Max. I may miss that extra screen.
 
I went X->XS Max->11 Pro. I like the 5.8" size better. The extra screen on the max is nice, but I like the smaller size when using the device as a camera.

I'm too entrenched in the Apple ecosystem to use Android. OnePlus is really intriguing but I couldn't switch. Too many iOS apps, Apple Watch, iPad, etc. Samsung makes fantastic hardware but I just don't like Android. My parents have Android phones and I cringe every time they ask me for help on them.

Oh i switch fairly frequently but I’m at the point I don’t care about the OS . Since I have a watch I’ll keep iOS for now. I was just saying I don’t like the larger screens with iPhones.
 
I've always had the Plus size since the 6 Plus (with the exception of the X which wasn't really a plus size then). Currently have XS Max and will definitely be upgrading to the Pro Max. I will never go smaller than that. Go big or go home.
 
I'm torn between the Pro and Pro Max. I had an X then upgraded to an XS Max last year. I prefer the smaller size for usability but like the longer battery life of the Max models. The XS Max is kind of uncomfortable for me to use and I don't even have small hands.
 
Regular Pro. I had a Note 9 and I can't stand large screens with the 18:9 aspect ratio anymore, way too tall for me. So I'll be happy with the 5.8" screen that fits in my hand. Overall it will be a bit smaller footprint than my 8 Plus so that will be nice.
 
I'm going with the 11 Pro. I am tempted to try out the Pro Max, but I know it will be to big for me. I would really enjoy the extra screen space and the extra battery life, but it won't be practical for me for everyday.
 
My recent iPhones have been 6+ -> 7+ -> X -> XS Max. I’m going to downsize to the normal Pro this year though. The 5.5” plus size was fine as generally I could reach the top even with one hand due to the large bezels. It’s just too hard to do on the Max, and I realised the X was my favourite sized phone I’ve owned. Back to that size from now on.
 
Neither. I'm sticking with my X one more year it seems. There's nothing compelling enough to make me want to upgrade.
