I used to own the 7+ and loved it. I mean absolutely loved it. But this year started messing up on my since I owned it from day one and got the SE2. I do love the speed of the SE2 but admittedly hate the size.

I want to get a bigger screen phone and am at the Apple store now and love the screen size of both the 11 Pro Max and the 12 Pro Max. But admittedly they’re fudging huge. I love the size of the screen but don’t have the highest hands, although o did alright with the 7+.

Just wondering about others in my similar predicament and hoping you can share your experiences.
 
Get a Loopy case. It'll make holding the Max phones easier one handed than the smaller phones without that case. With a Loopy Case, the size of a phone is a non issue.
I use one on my Plus iPhone and regular sized iPhone
 
If you did okay with a 7+, you'll be fine with a Pro Max phone. The only consideration with the Pro Max phones is if they'll fit in your pocket. :)
 
My hands aren't too large and I went from the 6s Plus to the 12 Pro Max. Very happy with it after about a year. I think the 7 Plus and 6s Plus are the same size, right? The 12 Pro Max is almost exactly the same size, the difference is very slight. This surprised me, since so much had been written about how huge the 12 Pro Max was.

Can't see the smaller screens. No choice.

I've had every 6.1"+ phone since Apple started releasing them and have never had a problem handling them.
 
I can’t see smaller screens either and although I like that my current SE2 fits in my pocket, seeing the 11/12 Pro Max at the Apple Store today was just so nice.
 
I have a finger ring on the back of my phone. I am a very tiny woman (only 4'10) I have an iPhone 12 and it isn't as big as some but I can scroll just fine.

 
I have TINY little hands, and have always had the Plus/Max sized phones since the first year they were offered. I have no issues whatsoever - as with anything else, you figure out the best ways to adapt. I remember my first Plus phone felt huge, but only for a few days, and then it just felt like "my phone". Because I have tiny hands, I've never really been able to do anything one handed on any phone like most can, so it was no big deal for me.
 
I am a female with small hands and I have no issues. I've always had the plus iPhones/max phones going back to 2014. Before that I was using larger Samsung phones. I can even use it one handed. My hands have just adapted to the size and I can get around the phone easily. I have a way of holding it and it works well for me.
 
Large hands here I can hold "palm" a basketball with two fingers, and I even have trouble with the larger phones. I always think I can get away with one handing it and sometime fumble them.
 
I live the humility in this thread, thank you everyone.
Definitely looking into getting the biggest sized iPhone I can. This SE2,again although speedy, is dampening me with its small size.
