The problem with the Max is: Where to put it. It just doesn’t fit into any of my pockets. The 11Pro‘s form factor is just right ...at least for me.
The answer to that is... dad jeans. Plenty of space in those loose pockets.

Really? I had a 6s Plus and put it in my shirt pocket, or front left pants pocket on the rare occasion my shirt didn't have a pocket. When I got the X, I had to downgrade the size. It's now two years old and I wanted to upgrade to the 11 Pro, but after seeing my girlfriend's new 11 Pro Max, I think I'll have to get a Max, too, because having a larger screen is really great.
 
Unfortunately, no Apple store nearby to easily play around with both. May just have to order both and return one :confused:

That’s not a bad idea, because in all likelihood as soon as you spend a few minutes with the Pro Max you are going to think you will want the Pro. I got my 6 Plus on launch date. I remember that Friday night thinking how absurd the size was and what a mistake I had made. My Friday night plan was to go to the Apple Store first thing Monday morning and exchange it for the 6. By Monday, I was in love with the Plus and already had gotten used to its massive size. The point is, you aren’t going to make a decision in a couple minutes, a few hours or even a day. It takes some time to adjust to the size, but once you do (if you do) you never want to go back to a smaller screen.

You must have big pockets...👍
 
I also put the iPhone 11 Pro Max in the pockets of my pants or inner pocket of my jacket.

Not sure what the problem is?
 
For things like this, this is where is it best to take advantage of the manufactures return window, to test the device.
I went from an iPhone XS Max, to a Note 10+, and now to an iPhone 11 Pro Max. For me, I simply prefer the larger devices.

Albeit, I will add, when the iPhone X was released, I felt it was the perfect size. Till the following year when Apple said, "Wait, there's one more thing..." :)
