Disclaimer: I do suffer from OCD which tends to lead to a lot of indecisiveness and/or impulsiveness when it comes to purchasing things. My phone is no exception.
I had a 13 Pro Max that I had bought off OfferUp, fully paid off. I intended on using it as long as possible, but when the 17s came out, I got a Pro Max in Deep Blue because the lightning port on my 13 PM wasn't functioning. I then decided to return my new 17 PM and just pay the $125 to have the charging port on my 13 PM fix (was trying to be smart with my money). Well, not long after, the power button my 13 PM stopped working. I ended up getting a 17 PM again, this time in Cosmic Orange.
More recently, I've grown to dislike the orange. I've been wanting to exchange for silver and also thought I'd prefer the smaller Pro, as the Pro Max is a bit big for me. I bought a silver Pro and ended up returning it, because again, I didn't want to waste money. I finally got fed up enough with the large size of my PM and the orange color that I again purchased a silver Pro and sold my orange 17 PM for good on Facebook marketplace.
I do prefer the size of the Pro - however, I can't help but notice that the battery life is trash. As someone who is on their phone a lot, I could use my phone all day with the Pro Max and not even use more than 25% of the battery. I feel like the Pro battery just drains so fast. Tomorrow is the last day I can return my Pro and my local Apple Store actually has a Pro Max in silver (silver PMs have been hard to come by in my area) that I reserved for pickup tomorrow.
I'd just hate to go back to the PM again and then dread it's massive size, but man, I miss that battery life. Especially knowing I'll be going on a vacation to Italy this summer, I'd like to have a phone that has a battery that can last me all day while I'm out and about snapping photos, etc.
Any input is appreciated.
