As you all recall I got my hands on my gold XS Max a day before release. I’ve been upgrading yearly since iPhone 4S. I was happy with X size. Bigger screen. Easier to carry and what not. Easier for my pockets (I wear slim fit). Never liked the Plus size. The huge bezels bothered me. Once I went X I didn’t miss those bezels or home button. After a few days of using Max I officially sold my X today. The Max vs X isn’t such a huge dramatic size difference. The difference between a 6/7/8 to Plus variants is way more noticeable than X to XS Max size. The Max doesn’t feel that big, doesn’t feel heavier, doesn’t look bigger over X size. Therefore I’m content and it’s a keeper. I believe to those who went from X to XS Max the X prepared us for the change. Appreciating the bigger screen. I know soon apps will update to take advantage of Max size screen. I don’t critic those who are returning Max. Hey apple gives us options. Anyways just wanted to share that with those wondering. Enjoy.
 
Glad you are liking it.

PS: I do feel the Max is slightly heavier than a Plus. Even my missus configured her Max today, and said the same thing.
