I’m a fan of the flat edge...I just don’t like that chrome finish. I realize it’s just a dummy, but hopefully it’ll have a matte brushed stainless steel finish (like the iPhone 4).

I can’t see them doing that as Apple have been convincing people ‘shiny’ is premium for the past 3 years. If it’s a brushed finish then it’ll look too much like peasants aluminium ;)

Here are some pictures of the 12 Pro Max dummy unit.

That black piece on the back of the unit is a sticker which I didn’t realize until after I took the pics. The dummy unit is noticeably bigger than my XS Max but not to the point where I can’t comfortably hold it. I was still able to hold it the same way I do my XS Max. It’s just a tad bit taller. The squares sides are not even uncomfortable to hold. I’m now more excited than ever to have the real 12 Pro Max in my hands. I do hope that the Qualcomm modem will back in this year’s phones.

Great photos. I tend to agree that while it does look much taller, I think width is the primary dimension affecting "comfort" and it doesn't look to be much wider if any.

According to the leaks, it will be .25mm wider than the 11 Pro Max.
A minuscule increase like that should be imperceptible in the hand.
