Am I the only one who hates this "big screen" frenzy?
Man what's up with those huge phones that you can barely hold, use securely with one hand, or fit in your pocket?!
You guys want a brick in your pockets?

Why not giving people the choice and making the same specs across the lineup, just different screen sizes?
Apple tried to keep same specs for mini as pro max, but unfortunately the larger cameras and huge battery stuck outside the mini’s case. That messed up the waterproofing with one side open and battery sticking out. Next they tried putting mini screen on pro Max case. Same size just different screens size. However, that looked sorta wierd having half inch bezel all around. Apple engineers will continue trying to squeeze 10 pounds of sh*t in five pound box. Perhaps a “Tardis” type phone would work, ala Dr. Who?
 
Ok I just put my 12 max screen protector against my xs max and I can confirm the 12 max is wider. It’s noticeably wider View attachment 1660200

Don’t forget the flat vs curved sides. I think you should have put the screen protector a little further to the left to use maybe half of the left curve for screen space since with flat sides that is sort of what’s happening. You would still see extra width to the right but not quite as much.

Just got my iphone 12 pro max.

I can definitely say I’m loving the size. So glad I went with the max. The phone size makes it feel special to me - just like phone 6s plus used to feel for me. iPhone X was great but I’m very happy to be in a max/plus size again!
