How you like it?

Didn't have really time to play with it, maybe today after work.
Yesterday i just opened the box and powered it on.

I love how it feels in hand / looks and can't wait to transfer all my stuff and make it my daily driver.

Coming from Note 8, the display seems a bit dull and will probably take a bit of time to get used to.
I am aware its the same Samsung panel, i am aware is the most color accurate and so on.
 
The last iPhones i used were 6s and 7, but i used them briefly and then switched back to Galaxy S7Edge /Note 7 and currently still using the Note 8.

I was always on the Android side, but recently just got really fed up with their stupid update system (ie: Getting updates months after release on cheaper devices) and the overall lag and stutters that happens ocassionally.

I do love my i9 MBP 15" 2018 and seriously thinking of picking up a 256GB XS Max today and get back into Apple ecosystem.
Just having trouble deciding if is worth the extra money i would pay on the XS Max or not.
Unfortunately, XS Max is a unique product in a sense that there’s no previous generation to consider. If you need the larger screen, you don’t really have a choice and thus the price is not really negotiable. You just need to decide what storage capacity you need.

In terms of updates, Samsung is not the worst contender, although for the price you pay, you do expect better.

It will be interesting to see how you progress with the Xs max.I own the SG Note 9 and purchased the iPhone Xs max this week. I wanted the Apple watch 4 so had to have an Apple smartphone. Its a very VERY difficult subject to debate. Totally different beasts in nearly every way. The price of the iPhone is...looking for words here... The Note 9 is a pocket PC and that S-pen is incredible and I miss it. I miss lots of other Note 9 related tech' as well BUT I have gained some new mobile tech' to balance such losses out such as the incredible Apple Watch 4.
I think time will tell for both of us.

Please keep us up to date on your progress.
