iPhone max too big?

I do think it's the upper limits of what I'd consider a portable device. I'd only recommend it to someone that is big on watching movies/videos on their phone or likes playing games all the time.

If your phone is mostly a utility device that you occasionally browse some web pages on, do some banking, check e-mail, etc, then a 6.7" - 8.5 ounce phone is probably overkill.

The "regular" 13 Pro is a better fit for most people I'd think.

Regarding getting older and having trouble focusing on things up close. Get yourself some comfortable reading glasses. Will make a world of difference.

Yes, my wife has a max and I can barely get it in my jean pocket. I dont wear skinny jeans either. I think I'm going to get a mini, but like above I like the specs of the pro.

My 2 cents:

I have had "regular" iPhones since the 7. Last upgrade I went to the 11 Max. Looking to go back to the regular size this go around. I'm a big guy with larger than average hands but it is still hard to navigate the screen with one hand. Also is very awkward in the front pocket.

Probably going to get the 13 Pro when I'm eligible in January.

My old 8 crapped out about 9 months ago and I upgraded to the 12 Pro Max at that time. In the beginning I thought it was a bit too big and hard to handle, but after all this time, I've gotten used to it and it seems normal to me now. On occasion I pick up my wife's regular sized 10 and it seems so tiny to me now. I have no regrets moving up to the max.

I’m around the same age and have the 11Max. Never had a day where I was thankful it was so large.

Constantly regret not just getting the regular size.

I have an iPhone 11 for work and I think it's too wide to comfortably hold and use with one hand. I wouldn't go bigger than the 13 Mini.

I was sold on getting the mini because phones are ridiculous these days but as my eye sight deteriorates at reading things up close I’m starting to wonder if I should just go for the max next time.

I really hate the idea of having a big phone tho. Maybe there’s a way to increase font sizes without making it crazy big in the accessibility settings.

I went from XR to 12 Max Pro.

Love it. It chills in my back pocket always. And at my desk at work i have the Mag Safe charger with a stand.

I also have the Apple Leather case so its very streamlined. I will say be careful though its not nearly as protecting as other cases are.

I have the 11 pro max and I love it. In terms of the case I’ve had my screen crack once, it was because I had something hard sitting on top of it and it feel on the top of the screen. So the apple cases work really well and they fit the phone too, don’t make it to large.
