I absolutely love the big screen and battery life, and most everything about the 17 Pro Max. However coming from a 13P, the jump in weight and especially size to the 17PM was pretty difficult—at first.
I was so used to years of one-handed use that trying to one-hand the device was actually aggravating my underlying CT in my dominant hand—I had hardly had symptoms until I started using this phone.
I almost wanted to give up on and return it (luckily my phone plan has an upgrade any time option) but now finally after several weeks it has started feeling more natural to use, and my pain has eased almost completely.
For anyone feeling uneasy about coming from a smaller phone, hopefully my case will offer some encouragement. And if you’re having pain or discomfort, maybe still give it a chance—it will probably get much better.
