So, for those former Xs (Max) owners who upgraded to the new 11 Pro (Max), was it really worth it?
Got a tip for us?

Yes camera and battery life was well worth it for me.
I left the XS due to battery life and went to the XR. Now trying the 11P and Day 1 charge the battery life seems very close to XR.. potentially better.
Yes absolutely. The camera and battery life is significantly better.
I would say very clearly, for the camera and battery, among other things. But my XS Max and 11 Pro Max were/are both in the IUP, so the cost is really just paying sales tax and extending the "lease" another year.
The photos alone I got yesterday at Disneyland were astounding compared to what I could get with my ax’s Max. The wide angle lens is truly amazing. The battery life is out of this world for me too. I can’t believe how well it’s been lasting. Makes me really excited for the future.
I went from Xs Max to 11 Pro mainly for the form factor. Xs battery was bad so I went with Xs Max... now with the improved battery life on the 11 Pro, its perfect for my needs
Went from XS max to pro 11 and I love the sharp screen and killer battery life. Yes. It was an upgrade for me as I needed a smaller phone.
Zero regrets upgrading XS to Pro. Camera is fantastic (especially dark mode) and I'm always down for better battery life.
I went from the XS to the 11 Pro Max so for me, it was worth it just to get the screen size I should have chosen last year.
Size aside, while I probably wouldn’t have upgraded if I’d got the XS Max last year, the camera and battery improvements are compelling enough reasons in themselves if you’re OK with the cost. Anybody who’s in two minds, I’d say don’t bother.

Bought the Pro Max yesterday, and the camera is amazing on nite scenes and total dark!
And also it opens the apps and respond a little bit faster than the XS Max

Wife and I went from the XS Max to 11 Pro Max. We like the brighter screen, but primarily the pictures are very noticeably better. We are both taking pictures like crazy again especially at night. Wow. Face ID is faster and works on a flat table. On iUP plan. Was surprised to find in store stock on Sunday.
Definitely worth the upgrade this year, although if you are planning to hold onto the phone for a few years, next year's might be more worthwhile. The battery life and camera on the pro max are great though!
Not that much a big difference for me. Camera is slightly better but feel the battery is worse. Also, I have a lot of incidences where the screen freezes...my XS max was perfect.
Main thing you'll notice is battery life, next thing is camera, other than that you won't notice the processor speed or the %30 faster face ID, at least I didn't do.
I upgraded from XS to 11 Pro Max so for me it was because of the size increase. But honestly I feel Apple really nailed it this year, massive improvement in the fundamental parts of a phone, better better, better display and better cameras so even if I stayed at the same size it will have been worth it.
To me the battery in and of itself is a reason to upgrade. I took it off the charger this morning at 4a and only plugged in for the car ride to & from work about a half hour each way. I also did the 13.1 upgrade while on battery alone and I’m still at 85%. That’s good battery life. The camera and the screen is also better. Although the way night pictures are taken leave some to be desired. I’m sure that’ll be improved over time however.
It is only worth it to me because I had a MAX and hated the extra screen so I went with a Pro(Non Max). If I had a regular XS I would not have upgraded.
