From where I live pro max is sold out everywhere, If I need it immediately you have to go with pro or you have to wait till it's restocked

Same here.. Pros are rarely available.. Pro Max is damn near impossible to get.
 
Just out of curiosity what changed your mind?
have thought about the size... do not want to always carry a bag with me, not sure if it will fit in a pants pocket. but to be honest, I've never tried it.
however, I'm happy with the "small" Pro - coming from the 12 Mini. So maybe the next iPhone will be the Pro Max :D
 
The 11 Pro is 2 years old at this point. Unless you’ve changed the battery in the 11 Pro, this comparison wouldn’t be completely valid. I was talking about my personal experience with the smaller 13 Pro that I had for a week: the battery didn’t seem that much better than what I had with my 11 Pro. The 11 Pro most likely even lasted about the same 2 years ago.

Excuse me, my 11 Pro battery had been changed. Your point is invalid.
 
has anyone thats tried both found any "secret" benefits. Like does the 13PM have better cooling? screen dimming outside is a big issue for me and if the PM can stay cool longer and not dim then thats the clear winner for me.

But do 2-year old iPhones perform as well on the latest version of iOS as the new ones? As we have seen many times, the older iPhones don’t. The latest versions of iOS never seem to be as optimized for older iPhones. The amount of RAM is one of the many factors in that equation. So I would say that your comparison is still invalid.
 
50/50 after 316 votes pretty much sums up exactly where I’m at. 50/50.

I have a 2 week old so I’m now one handing my 11 for extended periods of time while I rock her or hold her. I’m 6’8” so not an issue. Trying to decide if the Max would work or be cumbersome. It would be great for media consumption and just seeing things better. The pro does look very small in my hands. But, it’s so much better in gym shorts pockets, when walking or exercising, cup holder, etc. Decisions….

I was going through the same decision making process, went with the max, and haven’t looked back. Good luck with the newborn!

Thank you! About half an hour ago I ordered a case and screen protectors for the max. There was the exact Max I want at one of the Apple stores near me but I procrastinated too long. So I’ll keep checking.

13 pro max fits my cup holder easy, my wife is 5"4 and has a 12 max.

I want the 13 Pro Max screen so bad. But the phone is too big! So I’m a happy (mostly) 13 Pro chooser. Just wish it had the Max screen lol ;).
