I'm thinking about returning my 11 Pro for an 11 Pro Max. I went from XS Max to 11 Pro and it really is hard getting used to the smaller screen.

I’m exactly the same, thing is if I do I’ll probably be back to moaning about it being too big

Think it is a case of pick your compromise, the 5.8” is too small and the max too big. If truth be told neither are one handed phones anyway, we’ve not had one of those since the 4s
 
Returning an 11 Pro Max Midnight Green and keeping an 11 Pro Midnight Green (both 256GB). The Max is nice but I think too big, which puts too much strain on my hand. I have long fingers and even that doesn’t really help: it’s truly a 2-hand device..

And here is the counter argument, lol.

The reason I moved max to non-max and the reason I’m on the fence!
 
I have returned my 11 Pro and get 11 Pro Max instead, due to the narrower screen. After getting the Max I was like, I missed the smaller 11 Pro because I can easily use the phone 1 handed. If only Apple would release a 6.1’’ Pro model.

This is truth.

Went to the apple store at lunchtime and had a good play with the max and 11 alongside my 11 pro. I came away thinking that the non-pro 11 is the best sized device but I’m not sure I could live with the other compromises.

As for the pros, I am still on the fence. The Max feels huge and the standard pro is just a far more comfortable device, having said that though the screen does feel small and the heft of the max does come with a LOT more real estate.

Guess I have a few days to make my mind up but I am leaning towards keeping the standard 11 pro

I got my 11 Pro yesterday after playing with all 3 devices in the store. Like you, I like the size of the 11 the most of the 3 but I could not sacrifice any features. The 11 Pro Max is a beautiful device but I am thankful that Apple gave the same exact specs minus screen size in the 11 Pro. This allows us who do not like carrying a very large device the opportunity to have the same specs in a smaller device.
