Well, I posted in this thread earlier saying regular 12 fits all my needs.....
I ended with the 12 pro max.

Yeah, I thought the 11 Pro Max was heavy so I went with 12 Pro - it's perfect for me.
But I know you'll stick with the 12 Pro Max. You've flipped back and forth before lol

You know I think you’re right, lol. After using my son’s Pro for a bit I’m gonna keep my Max. The Pro is a fantastic phone no doubt, but I really like the screen size of the Max versions. Easier on my old eyes, lol

I would have been miserable with anything but the 12 pro max. I knew exactly what I was getting. I’ve had the 6+, 6S+,7+, Xs max and 11 pro max before the 12 pro max. Before the 6+ I had Samsung phablets for a few years. I got the iPhone X and was miserable for the whole year as I found it too small. I was so happy to upgrade to the Xs max the next year.

Same here, I was at the apple store at 8am to pick up the big boy XS Max 😂 something about that extra width that you don't get on the smaller displays. 🧐📱

Agreed! I try to tell myself I'll be fine with a smaller phone, I have an iPad... Well with sports starting back up, there's times I'm waiting for my son an hour and a half to two hours during practices. The Max is a whole lot better than having a small phone or even lugging my iPad around.

You're right about that. The smaller sized phones seem too narrow

Yes! One of my biggest complaints about the X was the typing experience. It was just so narrow I was always making errors.

Exactly! I had a 11 Pro for a week. That's all I could take. Nice phone but it was practically unusable for me with any apps that didn't support landscape
I’m happy with the reg 12 size, but I did have to try out a mini to be sure. At first the 12 felt really big (coming from a 7) but I’m used to it now.
