iPhone 14 Pro Max Going from a Pro to a Pro Max — any regrets?

[davedvdy]

That sounds very similar to what my sentiments are/would/will be. I guess there is only way to find out... Eh

Yes and the 14 day return period may not be enough time for you to fully decide. I still find that I get more and more used to the 14 Pro Max as I use it. Also, the case you choose can make things better or worse depending on the weight of it. I purchased a Torras clear that is much better than even another clear one I had on it before that was adding more weight.

Well great, so if I go Max I'll be filled with regret! Either for switching, or for not having switched earlier

Basically, yea.

I know.. and I'm the type of ocd person who will drive himself crazy if I go with a phone that I'm not happy with
Could you share a link to your case please?

Yes, it's called the Torras Diamond Clear:

There's one with the magnet on the back as well called: (EDIT IN): 'TORRAS Magnetic Diamond Clear', I believe which would be more suitable if you use MagSafe, I just don't use that.

I went from a pro to a pro max.
Love the size of the pro but wished the screen was bigger
Love the screen size of the max but wish the phone was smaller.
Hope this helps

My wife has the mini, and I can't see myself using something that tiny

I use my phone sparingly so portability is more valuable to me given my life style. I’m not far from a charger most times and if I’m watching or reading extensively then I don’t enjoy that on a phone regardless. I know some people can use their phones for hours but not me.

Pros are too heavy anyway so unless they go titanium I’m good.

Thank you! Yes, I use magsafe almost everywhere, so that will be helpful. I'm considering this case for the most minimalistic feel. https://www.totalleecase.com/products/iphone-14-pro-max-case?variant=39918169063486

Imagine the price for a 2TB titanium iPhone Pro Max)

Yea, I never read on it, but I do interact quite a bit.

I regret doing it because playing game on the iPhone 14 pm stutters like crazy, like Genshin Impact.

That will work best if you don't need drop protection. I think the one I showed you strikes a better balance because it's still a moderately light clear case but provides 10ft of drop protection (or supposedly).

That's a separate issue, it's an FPS one, but according to an Apple advisor, they are trying to address that in a software update. If you've seen this, it's discussed specifically here:

Yes, for sure, but I'm thinking I'm going to need all the help I can get))) I don't typically drop my phone(ok I'm lying), but I always have apple care + in case I reaaaaly drop it

Dead serious.
Every time put it in or pull it out my pocket I wish I had the pro.
Hen I pick up my wife’s pro and I am glad I have the max

Good thing I'm mostly done with jeans)

Hey guys, I'm thinking of starting breathing fresh air. Anyone else here does it? Do you recommend it? Any downside on starting to breath fresh air instead of stale air?

Bruh, these threads kill me...

I think I would have more regrets going back to the pro.

For the most part I can wear cargo shorts 365 days a year.
Work attire is shorts and a collared shirt.

I own an iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 Plus so even though I don't technically own an iPhone with Max on its name I guess I can still share my experience and insights...

I just recently started taking pictures using my iPhone 6s and realized it is the perfect size although if only it has flat sides like the iPhone 4/4s/5/5s/SE 2016/12 series/13 series/14 series it would be more comfortable and easier to use for that purpose...

I rarely use my iPhone 7 Plus single handed and I hold it either with my right or left hand and navigate with the free hand...

I used to have them in cases but not anymore and the only glass back phone I own is Galaxy S10+ which like my iPhone 7 Plus I use both hands when using it...

 

[zidarko]

Having owned the 6+, 7+ and 8+ I have to say that the larger size makes it very comfortable to use as a reading device but this comes at the expense of bigger size and weight which makes it harder for the device to fit in pants/shorts. An added benefit of the larger size is a larger battery, which always comes in handy.

Currently rocking an iPhone 12 Pro. Loving the size but the battery life hasn't been great lately.

 

[rbjrocks]

Hey guys, I'm considering getting a Max model for the first time, and it's huge size is my only concern. I am 6.1' and my hands are proportional. Anyone here, who made this change and has regretted it? Thanks!

You’d fall in love from the moment you unbox. Its worth it.
