Well that’s interesting because most people On vacation take pictures with their phones and not dedicated cameras, and most people upgrade their phones because of better cameras.

Really... because almost the only time I ever see high concentrations of SLR, mirrorless, and compact high-end cameras is when I'm at major tourist attractions, national parks, historic cities, etc. Sure, plenty of people use them professionally, but I bet the second most common use is for vacation photography. That's why I have them.

When we went to Italy..or go anywhere else.. Fuji or Nikon win over the phone. The phone can take some impressive shots but I’m not trusting possibly once in a lifetime.. put on a wall shots to a phone.

Don’t return just yet, don’t forget to have a night out in the town and take those night shots.

No rush on this. We get 14 days. No sense in missing out on taking full advantage of that.

Definitely want to get some diverse comparison shots.

Of course there will be a lot of people with those cameras there but it is no where near the amount of people who use their phone as their primary camera in their daily lives.
 
It's a keeper, iPhone Pro Max 256 in Space Gray. Like he matte finish! OLED screen is sweet and the camera is fantastic. I've been really happy with the results. Battery life... Heck Yeah! :)
 
Keeping my Pro Max green. I love it so much. Got my clear case yesterday so the color shows in all its glory. And the battery life is just crazy. Love it.

My screen is beautiful and clear, and I’m coming from a great Xs Max (daughter was happy to get it!) so it’s not like I had a bad screen before. I’ve been under the weather for several days so have only taken a few pics, but I’m hoping to get out some this week.
 
Wow I don’t even use auto brightness and I keep my brightness about 75-80% and battery life is still noticeably better than the XS Max by far.
 
this is not a thread about who's keeping and justifying it. this thread is about WHO IS RETURNING it!

Original post said "Positive comments also are welcome."

That said, it should have been a poll. Makes it much easier to see the return rate than wading through pages of posts.
 
Keeping mine. My sister hasn’t opened hers yet, I don’t know why she hasn’t. I have liked everything about it. I upgrade every year. I have another sister who wants my XS Max. Happy to help her out. She wanted the new one, but isn’t on the upgrade plan.
 
I returned the 11 Pro for an 11. Only due to PWM. While the dimensions of the 11 aren’t much more I can still notice the difference. Hopefully I’ll get used to it.

I had the X Max, and now the Pro max. I think the new camera is really cool. There are other improvements.

I have the green, which is something. Unusual. I like it. :D

Such a thrill getting these upgraded phones.

What a guy! Does it feel like a downgrade? I’ve thought about going from a XS to an 11.

No, it does not feel like a downgrade. I actually like the 6.1" size. Thought that the Xs was too small at 5.8", that's why I got the Xs Max...but that was a little too large. The size of the 11 is perfect for me.

I returned it because of the color. I bought one white and one green, and the white is not really good.

I am still waiting for the green...
 
No return here

I love it so far and after 2 years of the regular size of the X and XS - I’m glad I went with the max ( previous loved the plus models)
 
Nah won’t be returning. I know it’s not a HUGE update from the XS MAX but I absolutely love the camera improvements.
