I upgraded and got my Pro Max today. I went to the store first to check it out. After seeing/holding it I knew it was for me. I didn't feel like it was so much bigger that it was unsuable. I have bigger hands too (L/XL glove) so that probably helps. So far I am very happy with it. I like watching shows during lunch break and the bigger screen is going to be killer for that.

I was going to hold off for next years model, but my XR is starting to lag and after seeing my wife's new 12 and the oled screen I was sold. FWIW I got a free line from Tmobile and the XR is being used for that. Traded in an old 8+ we had.
Sounds good.
Frustratingly over in the UK we can’t go into a store to check it out until lockdown ends on 2nd Dec, otherwise I’d definitely have done that to compare the 3 (12p, 12pm and xr)!

12p and XR are the same size wise, but I will give the 12p the edge in handling and weight. The squared edges makes the phone better IMO. There really is no reason to compare those two TBH. Only one you really need to handle is the 12PM to see how you like it. If you have larger hands my guess is you’ll pick the 12PM. I can just about use mine one handed.

Yeah, I meant I'd like to get the 12PM to compare with the others. I prefer the 12p to XR, size wise, however I have relatively large hands so would be able to just about use one handed, but just unsure if it'd be a bit unwieldly in pockets etc.
 
Went from XR to 11 to 12 Max. Never thought I would say this, but it's little too big and heavy for my taste. It actually feels more secure with the case I have, but I may end up returning it. Don't want to downgrade to 12 or 12 Pro since pretty similar to my 11 and I'm happy enough with the screen on the 11.

How do you find the difference between xr and 12pm, ignoring the size and weight as am thinking more quality of phone and hardware.
