Does anyone know if the apple silicone case and apple leather case have the same thickness?
I usually buy the leather case, but I would like something a little thinner.

iPhone 11 Pro Max Max models: too big or not too big?

Great shots. Thanks for posting. You don’t have a X to use in a comparison by any chance? I’ve ordered a 12Pro but was really tempted by the 12 PM camera. I’m afraid the Max would feel huge and unwieldy to me. Heck, I use the assistive touch as a shortcut for reachability on my X. Can’t imagine what a 12 Pro Max would be like.
(First pic) Otterbox symmetry series for X against the Spigen 12P Max case. For me it’s just the height that could be an issue in your pocket if they are shallow.
(Pics 2/3) A couple snaps of the smartish case for the 12P and 12PM.

Thanks. My work phone is an X. I can snap those same pics with the x in the case if that is helpful. Give me a few mins to do that. I am really still leaning towards the max even though I think it will feel too big I just don't feel the 11pro to the 12 pro is that much of a difference to make the change. I would rather have the better camera and bigger screen to make myself okay pulling the trigger so I can be disappointed later lol
So that they can resell you the iPhone 13 Pro with the same cam on this year's Pro Max.
From what I am reading, the pro max should have 3 more hours than the pro. I really want to the smaller phone, but I don’t want to sacrifice the battery life - especially coming from the 11PM - that phone is a battery beast!
My glass screen protectors arrived and case for the 12 pro max looks small we need a 6.9 pro max next year...
I got my case for the 12PM and I put my 11pm in it and tried carrying it around in my pocket and to be totally honest, it is not that much bigger. I always put a very slim case on my phones and so I do not think I am going to notice a difference between the phones.
Thank you again!. That is a bunch taller and a bit wider than my X. I can barely reach the far side of the X with one hand on my X now. That won't ever happen with the 12PM.
I don't know if it's impatience or im just getting tired of the phones getting bigger and bigger. I pick up the 12 pro tomorrow and want to see how it feels. Ill order the max and if the reviews say the battery life and camera differences are marginal ill keep the 12 pro for a change. otherwise il return it. I have a feeling so many people will be exchanging these that Apple may block you from purchasing a pro 12 max if you ordered the 12 pro. Not sure if they can do this. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Side question on the Pro Max: They are larger than the 11 Pro Max. This means that a grip (Glif / Shoulderpod) or car mounts that are 11 Pro Max compatible will not necessarily be compatible with the 12 Pro Max? Or the width remains the same despite the extra inches? Thank you.
There's a 0.3 mm (0.01 inches) difference between the 2 models .

So accessories compatible with 11 Pro Max, will be compatible with 12 Pro Max or not?
now that the 12pro has 6.1 screen going to the max must be done ONLY if you care about the camera
i was using plus/max phones for several years already mainly because they provided better camera experience not because of the screen size
i still think apple should've stay with 6.5 screen/narrower than the 11 pro max instead of increasing the screen size and making the phone even wider than the current pro max

I am waiting to see them both in hand before deciding. I have iPhone 8+ so I am used to a bigger phone.
I like big phones since I have big hands (i guess) the 11 pro max size is perfect for me 6.5 inch. I would like to see the 12 pro max 6.7 inch and see how that feels. But I think Apple stop with the screen sizes getting bigger. I think the 6 or 6.5 inch size is the sweet spot (at least for me). If Apple goes to 7 inch phones that's were I would probably stop getting the max versions LOL.
As a former iPhone user whos been on the android (Samsung Note) series for 3 years I'm considering returning to iPhone with the 12 Pro or Max. I'm a photographer so the camera features interest me. Also i want an Apple Watch 1?.
Anyway, the Max is less tall than my current Note 10+, but it is wider. I carry the Note in my jeans pocket and most of the time its not an issue. If I kneel down or do a high step up then I do remove it to avoid risk of bending/breaking it.
Have any of you made the switch from the Note format factor to the iPhone Max series and have any experience you can share? Aside from the carry issue I'd really prefer the Max, but I need to be able to carry it in a front pocket.
