Purchased the 11 Pro Max 512GB the day it came out, and I haven't been disappointed. It replaced a 7 Plus, so the battery life and the speed are vast improvements (I was able to take photos and videos all day without having to recharge, and that's game-changing.)
The cameras are so far living up to the hype (people have already commented on noticing the higher quality), and being able to carry around my entire library of ripped CDs and still having 50GB+ space left over is something I've dreamed of since the iPod was first introduced. Now I just need a 1TB phone, so I can re-rip a bunch of those CDs at 256kbps...

I sort of get it every year.
I had a perfectly good XR (honestly it was really good) and my next credit card statement will require me to fork over $836 for an 11 Pro Max + a clear case (minus $370 for my XR). I had no need to be $836 poorer, yet I do it every year.
It's a good phone though. 24+ hours of battery life.

What about photos.....I hate how photos display in the app now. The old (pre iOS13) layout of pictures (small squares, clear transparent bar labelling pictures in a certain location as a group) is so much better than the clusterf*** that is iOS13
I'll say this, before you buy a phone any phone for that matter you can always search youtube for videos on whatever phone you are interested in buying. Even comparisons. That's what I did ad nauseum. I loved my 8 plus but was sick of the bezels and got a black 11. I really wanted the XS Max but couldn't pull the trigger since it was still at 1k. Odd that the pro max was only 100 more too but I digress. Do I have buyers remorse, no. The 11 is an upgrade from my 8 plus and I am happy with it. I would rather have the big screen but I'm not spending 1k on a phone at this point in my life and the deal for the 11 was too good to pass up. Plus the battery is amazing and the screen is on point even if it's LCD. I still love it. And the 11 is fast as hell which is another strong point.

Normally I would wait until there's some hands on/user reviews before buying a new device. I got an 11 Pro on launch day and really enjoyed it so far. Not sure why I wasn't able to get accustomed to iOS in the past.
So far, battery life is its greatest strength having come from a Pixel 3. I've never had to worry about running out before I'm in bed. With conservative use I can reach two days. Cameras are fine. I know Apple pushed it pretty hard. It's nice to have three different lenses. Looking forward to trying Deep Fusion. Build is great. Fast charge is good. Face unlock works with sunglasses on. I like how my grey looks in the yellow leather case. I can have the default contacts account as my Gmail. Don't remember seeing that option last time I had an iPhone.
iOS 13 has some random bugs. Nothing I've run into repeatedly or able to reproduce in my day to day use.
Overall, no remorse.

No buyers remorse since I didn't get one
.I'm sticking with my SE until Apple releases a smaller sized phone.
Moving from a silver XS to the space gray 11 Pro was worth the upgrade alone. All the improvements are just icing on the cupcake.
You would have had through 10/4: Apple counts 9/21 as Day One. Your receipt will say that you have until 10/5 to return, but that technically means until close of business the day before. I’ve been caught in that trap a couple of times, but they’ve had a manager approve the return anyway.
No regrets, my new 11PM is a gorgeous phone - and all new to me, since I hadn't upgraded since my 2015 iPhone 6s Plus.
BUT I was intent on holding out until next year to upgrade being that I just got that $30 battery replacement last December, and because that phone (TouchID, 3D Touch, headphone jack, home button) and felt my new 11PM was a bit of a downgrade because of their loss.
It's weird - this was the first time I ever bought an iPhone and felt like it was a downgrade, and l had to shell out over $1000 grand at it - Ugh!

My iPhone 8 is still going strong. No upgrades, no regrets. Maybe next year will bring something that gets me to upgrade. People get caught up in the upgrade excitement and some have buyers remorse later. Think twice upgrade once.
I would only have buyers remorse if I bought a 512GB iphone Pro Max for $1449 when I only use about 25GB on my current phone lol
64GB is all I need....but 512 is the only thing available in my area.

It occurs to those people with any major purchase. It's psychological in nature:
Buyer's remorse - Wikipedia
They post on here basically as a form of counseling.
No remorse from me I got the iPhone 11 pro max, upgrade from the xs Max i Wasn’t going to upgrade this year but those cameras wow nightmode in particulargot me excited and the extra battery life was a bonus I have a camera addiction lol
Both the wife and I upgraded to the 11 Pro Max from the 7 Plus (me) and 8 Plus (her). Zero remorse.
I thought I might have remorse getting the Pro Max after having a X for the past couple of years. I've had a tempered past with larger phones. I find I'm really liking this phone. Maybe my tolerance has changed. I still feel that the X was the perfect size. Or maybe the 11 is but missing the Pro features. I do feel this is about the largest I would like a phone so next year has me a bit concerned.
Me too concerning next years rumors that the pro models will be 5.4 & 6.7 which are both too small and too big.
Ive been wanting larger display for a few years now holding off. So I’m going from X to Pro Max this year and find 6.5 the largest I’d go to for a pocket phone.
If next years rumor Max is going to be 6.7 it’ll be too big for my liking. If the 5.8 pro model is shrunk to 5.4 I’ll be even less happy and won’t buy it.
So I made the jump this year without regrets and next years change up is a moot point for me. Let the chips falls where they may, Pro Max 6.5 will last me a few years and will think about upgrading again when 5G is actually mainstream.
I may switch to droid if the Apple sizes are still screwy.
Oh man these threads. No I’m not regretting my purchase. In fact I haven’t got any remorse for not getting the pro over the 11 which I half expected.
Your only regret would be the Roosters win on Sunday :0 Thanks for the help refs lol.
Go roosters
And i love my iPhone 11 pro, had a 8,XR,XS Max, SE in the last year.
I bought the 11 last week. Coming from a 6s plus I prefer the wider screen on the 6s plus. And I much prefer Touch ID to Face ID. The positives are battery life of course and the camera. Other than that the 6s does the same. I think I'm gonna return it by the end of this week. Hopefully next year no notch because I don't like it
