For those of you sizing down to the 16 Pro from a Max, do any of you use Display Zoom set to Larger Text?

That was one of the reasons I went up to the Max size, to make it easier to read (with my less-than-perfect multifocal contacts). I was assuming with the regular 16 Pro I'd be able to keep Display Zoom set to Default and then play around with the Text Size setting, but I've been discovering that some of the apps I use don't support Dynamic Type (like Safari?!?!)

Anyone else have this issue and a suggested way around it? I'm thinking I may just need to stick with the Max no matter how large it gets because having Display Zoom set to Default causes quite a bit of eye strain for me. (I could use Display Zoom set to Larger text on the regular 16 Pro but you lose quite a bit of functionality compared to the Max).

Anyone else considering going from a 15 pro max to the 16 pro? I've been on the max phones for at least the last two generations and can't decide if I'll be ok with the regular size screen. Media wise I scroll instagram from time to time but like 10-15 mins a day max. I use twitter a bit, but rarely use my phone for video consumption.

It will be nice not having a giant brick in my pocket, and all modern iphone battery life is plenty for my usage, plus the max phone is more expensive. Anyone facing a similar dilemma?
I have tried this attempt and it’s totally not worth it as the regular 16 Pro feels heavier than the 15 Pro Max along with the larger size this year there is no benefit at all.

The 16 pro feels heavier than the 15 Pro Max? It doesn’t to me and it’s now a device I can carry in my front pocket without it being that noticeable weight wise.
