So went to a Verizon store yesterday in hopes they’d have the midnight green 11 Pro Max(and trade in my XS Max 512gb) but sadly there were none. Midnight green looks fantastic, debated going for it as I felt it would be a novelty that wears off. They suggested a iPhone 11 Pro 256gb Space gray as it’s all they had, I declined as I wasn’t sure.

We already were there to transfer a family member from AT&T to verizon(she had an X with Face ID issues). To my surprise, Verizon gave us $500 for that internally broken iPhone X and a $200 MasterCard for switching. Pretty pleased, pretty much payed for most of the new iPhone 11 she went for. Anyway, after looking at the 11 and 11 Pro. I bit the bullet and downsized to the model they had.

Really glad I did, the 11 Pro feels so much easier to handle. I loved the extra real estate but it was a pain to scaffold up the phone to get to the control center. Also much easier to pocket, use in general.

Anyone else downsize and enjoying it?
 
Funny I downsized also, but couldn’t make it more than two days. The bigger screen just spoiled me too much. I returned the 11 Pro Today and went back to the old Xs Max until they get stock of 11 Pro Max.
 
I jumped down because the XS Max was hurting my hands. But now watching video on this thing is hurting my eyes 😂

Gonna wait another week or so before I make a decision, but... this phone is VERY narrow.

That being said, the battery life is ridiculous 🙌. Hours of YouTube, texting, web, insta, Twitter. Took of charger at 8am. 9:19pm, I’m at 26%.
 
I did and very much on the fence over whether to return it and go max.

Keep thinking that the pro max is bigger and heavier than the Xs max that I had. Truth is though I’ve not even held one yet.
 
I did but I did it last year. Instead of the Xs Max I went with the Xs. Went into the store this year with the thought I was getting the 11 Pro Max but after playing with both models I gravitated towards the smaller 11 Pro. The size is just perfect and I do not lose put on any specs. Not sure I will ever get the bigger model as long as they keep making this size device!
