Too many to count. I live in NYC and I see tons of them on a daily basis. Mostly XR's though... but I do see more Max's than regular XS.
 
I put zero. This is because I never look at other people's phones. Why would I. I don't care what kind of phone anyone else uses. They are almost always in cases and I wouldn't know if it's a Max or a Windows phone. Why would I?

Animal-lovers notice animals. Car-enthusiasts notice cars. Technology-enthusiasts notice technology. You notice things of interest when you happen to see them. I feel like I’m making pretty obvious statements here. If you aren’t interested in phones, then that’s fine, but then I’m wondering why you’re responding in this phone forum to this thread about phones. Also, I don’t know if you can take back a vote, but if you can it would be appreciated. I thought since this poll is about the Max specificially, it went without saying that one shouldn’t vote if they don’t notice people’s phones in general. It throws off the results.

Edit- I added an “I don’t notice phones” option, so if you could change your vote to that, it would be appreciated.

Maybe it’s just because I’m a ‘heavy tech enthusiast’, but I notice every phone someone uses, rather it be android or an iPhone, specific model, colors, etc. I don’t keep track of what I see in terms of numbers, but when someone has the latest device and when you see Apple’s marketing that is fairly ubiquitous, it’s almost impossible to not acknowledge which phone someone has in today’s society.

I would say being a member of an online community where we discuss the finer details of iPhones that most average people would find dull, you’d be the type of person that might notice what others are using based on a basic interest. If you don’t notice then I am surprised but accept what you say.
 
I know one person with a Max and seen a couple being used by people out and about. Know a few with an X / XS. Seeing more and more XRs cropping up. Five people at work got them in the last few weeks.

Thanks for making a new option just for me. Thing is I love phones, I read about them all the time. I own more than I need and seems I'm always looking to buy another one. It's just when I'm hanging out with my friends, we talk more about music and baseball and girls than we do about each other's phones.
 
I do not think I have seen a single XS Max, a bit hard to tell apart from XR, but in gereral - very few X-line phones.

I think most people have 7 og 8s around here, but many use Galaxy 8-9.
 
To be honest I haven't really been paying much attention but I think they've mostly been X/XS that I've seen. It's becoming quite prevalent even where I live which is a fair way outside of London.
 
I’ve seen a few but not too much where I work. I’m outside the city. I’m sure they’re selling well.
 
I see the odd one every now and then but the phone I’m seeing crop up a lot is the XR. They seem to be everywhere and the colour options probably make them more appealing. Still seeing more older iPhones than anything though.

The blue one seems to be quite popular. Thats the colour I see the most.

In New York City where I’m at, there all over the place especially on the Subway.
I used to see them on the tube frequently when I commented into London but now that I'm working locally it's the X/XS and XR that I see more often.

I see many 6/7/8 and Plus variants. I also see many XR and mainly X/XS. At work majority of us have iPhones with many of the women using the gold XS Max. I can’t believe the men use the X/XS.

You know as a woman you have the luxury of having a handbag for things including a huge smartphone. As an owner of an 8+ I can testify that it’s an absolute pain to carry in my pocket and there are scenarios where it has to stay at home. These phones are great to use for the bigger screens but are not entirely practical due to this extra size.

The majority of women I see have their mobiles stuffed in their back pockets, the tops of the phones poking out, it is the fashion? To be it always just seems like a thief’s dream.....
