Hi

Because of vision issues, I will probably switch to the Pro Max from my 12 Pro. Is it better to wait for the 13 or buy the 12 at a discount? Looking for longer lasting battery between charges.

Also I am concerned about hand comfort. Do you get used to that?

Thanks
 
wait for the 13 and see. if its not something you need then wait till after the announcement to decide. After the announcement, the 12’s will be removed from the apple.com and only way to buy it is actually at the store. This has been the case for previoius models as well. As long as Apple has them in stock, they can sell their inventory.
 
im going back to a 13 pro from a 12 pro max.. cannot come quick enough!
 
100% wait. The 12 series will surely see pretty good discounts as usual once the 13 is out. If there’s not enough features on the 13 to tempt you that is.
The Max size versions are definitely heavier in hand than the regular size models. That’s my only gripe about the Max sized phones. And not even as much in hand, because yes you will get used to that, but carrying it in my pocket. I’m a guy who wears a lot of shorts in my off time and having that big heavy phone in my pocket is not a great experience.

You’ll get used to the size Is it the most comfortable, no. It’s heavy and not comfortable to use 1 handed.
 
If you use a Loopy case, you don't even have to hold it. Check them out. I'd never use a big phone without one.
