Other iPhone 12 Pro Max

[DanUC6]

Just wanted a thread for Pro Max users. I have been using an 11 Pro for the past year and miss the screen size. I did enjoy the portability of the 11 Pro but while I am aware that while the 12 Pro Max will take up more real estate, I believe it will be worth it. I am slightly concerned about the size because I usually carry it in my pocket. Looking to get the silicone case as well. Maybe get something thinner as time goes on. Anyone else going back to the larger size? Anyone want to speak to the trade-offs of "pocketability" vs screen real estate?

I've always had the Plus/Max sized phones, and this year will be no different. I'm eagerly awaiting pre-order day for my Pro Max.

I've always had the largest size Apple offer. Waiting patiently for pre order day. With the flat edge iphone 4 design the screen will look larger and all that screen real estate yummy...

Moving from Xs Max 256gb to IP12 pro max 512gb. Mrs will inherit the Xs Max from her Iphone 7 plus.

That would be the day hell froze over if my husband ever thought I'd be "inheriting" any of his used crap.....

Added a poll. Hopefully no one wants my option. haha

 

[moldy lunchbox]

Debating between Graphite 256gb and Pacific Blue 256gb. I voted for PB, I’ll try it out and if I don’t like it after a few days will just return it and go back to my traditional pattern of gray/black iPhones.

I am torn. I have enjoyed the larger screen real estate since the plus option became available with the 6 series. I chose the 8 Plus over the X due to the screen ratio of the X compared to the 8 Plus. Then, I found I couldn't use the XS Max or 11 Pro Max due to PWM eye strain (entirely different story). So, I was 8 Plus until 2 months ago when I finally moved to the regular 11.

Now that I am used to the smaller size and weight of the 11, I am torn on moving to the 12 Pro Max (if my eyes can tolerate it). I don't bother with tablets, and I rarely ever dust off my MacBook, so having the largest screen is nice since I use my phone for 99% of my needs. Also, the Pro Max will have the best camera available as far as iPhones go and that is very important to me. I am very tall, so putting the Max in my pockets is not an issue nor is using it one handed. Where I think the size will be a compromise are a) phone won't fit in my cupholders b) will really weigh down my gym shorts when I am out doing yard work c) same issue when I go for walks with the dog or just exercise in general.

The only thing I do know is that I have zero interest in the mini, the regular 12, or 12 Pro. If I make a move from my 11, it would be to the Max and I would just get used to having a larger, heavier phone again.

I upgrade phones every year but this year It’s a tough decision for me. I love the battery in my iPhone 11 Pro Max and I’m very concerned with losing an hour plus of battery life. I’m sure I’ll end up purchasing the new phone but this is the first time I’m debating upgrading.

256 GB Pacific Blue - there is no other option for me.

Debating between PB, silver and graphite 256GB. I’m on IUP so I always pick the new/fancier color since I can always return it after one year. But the PB just doesn’t excite me like the midnight green was, this is why I may go with a more traditional color this time.

 

[egraphixstudios]

ive voted silver/white - but very difficult to choose this year as all of them look really good. I wasnt a fan of the gold- but seeing the pro 12 in gold- it does look good.

All colours including the base IP12 for comparison:

All colours including the pro range:

What an incredibly boring color palette this year. 12 Pro Max - Pacific Blue - 256GB for me.

The wife wants the Gold color. It does not look flashy to me, more of a subtle elegance with the frosted back.

I’ve always had a the Plus/Max size phones since they started making them. My lack of patience almost bought a 12 Pro, but I changed my mind knowing I would be unhappy and instead of dealing with the hassle of returning it I am going to just be patient. I cant wait until Nov 6th to pre-order. I am going with 128 or 256 Pacific Blue, Graphite is my 2nd choice.

 

[TheAustrianGuy]

256 or 512 Gold.
My wife always gets my “old“ phones and always wanted a gold iPhone.
Well, she‘ll have one in 2 to 3 years!

And I like this year‘s „real“ gold color a lot, too!

I had the dummy 12 PM for a week. It really was just fine in my front pocket. It really helps how thin it got compared to the 11 PM. Essentially identical to my 8 Plus in that regard.

I purchased a Pitaka Air case. One of the thinnest and lightest cases in the world. Adds grip too. If you feel the silicone case adds too much weight or bulk, check it out.

I'm getting a graphite 128 GB. Blue is lovely this year but not my color. Hate all things gold. Hate the shiny SS band on the silver model. So graphite wins by default. Back camera will look best too in my black Pitaka case.

i have the 11 PM now and the screen size is perfect. I got the 12 to test it out and just see if it was ok. I'm definitely not a fan of the size. it's too small for me so it's going back. I plan on the 12 PM.

 

[Kinggi]

I bought the 12 pro to try it, coming from a 11 pro max, I liked it, but I miss the battery and screen real estate so definitely excited to order 12 pro max!

 

[Pez555]

128gb graphite.

I can’t wait until next week to place my pre-order. Hope for once I manage to make the launch date window and that many people opt for the smaller cheaper versions

I have similar situation. It took me a bit but I am fully committed to the MAX!

Same! Get outta my way......

 

[menist]

I returned my silver 128GB 12 Pro, going to get the 12 PM 128GB pacific blue or graphite.

Can't wait to return to the Max. Had the 6s Plus, the 8 Plus, the Xs Max and now the 11 Pro, which is nice and handy, but that's about it. I hate typing on the small keyboard, especially in apps that don't allow for the horizontal keyboard.
Will probably get the 256 in Gold.
