iPhone XS Max Fingers hurt after using Max

[Kulfon]

Folks, I think it mignt be the screen size, but I have to strech my finders too much to be able to use iPhone Max. How does it work for you?

Are you only using one hand?

That’s why I went back to the 6/7/8 chassis. Much better for me to use especially 1 handed.

Maybe you should start using two hands more often.

For now it helps to put my fingers in a cap full of ice, but somehow I doubt it shoul be like this normally

I thought it was just the Max but Im get this same issue with the XS. Resting both on the pinky, it starts hurting. I think its the actual design of the phone (stainless steel, curved edge and glass).

Yea I use 1 handed and with the X chassis my thumb would ache and my picky would too cause I rest it an the pinky shelf.

Yea it’s a heavier device plus there’s more screen real estate.

You cannot make up these threads! The OPs fingers hurt because it's too big using one-handed... why not try two hands!?!?

Use two hands.

I have tiny hands, and no problems using the Max. Of course I use it two handed....

Cause I’m used to using 1 hand with the 6/7/8 chassis.

I noticed this a bit when I first got my X, but so far no issues with my Max. You get used to it.

I was using the X for months and couldn’t get used to 1 hand use. My pinky shelf was aching and so was my thumb.

How long do you typically stay on your device? Perhaps it’s just overuse because it’s new. Agree that the large phones are heavier...which is why I have an 8.

I was using it for a good while.

yeah I can see this over long time it can bother your hands abit. part of a large device though

Oh I never use my phones with one hand. Maybe that’s why I never have a problem.

This seems like a built in biological notification that you are using your phone too much.

Have to use 2 hands with the Max to get the full value. The Max is top heavy not the simplest iPhone to hold unless you have large hands
