Doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade. But, long time ATT customer with 6 active lines. Seems like a great deal to trade in my Xs Max for $700 and pay $500 for the new 12 Pro Max. I think the 12 Pro Max will be worth at lest $500 after 30 months.
Got a tip for us?

AT&T will give you a $700 trade-in for the Xs Max? That sounds like a lot to me. I have an Xs Max with AT&T myself, 256GB.
I think it's a good deal. Especially considering it applies to current customers, not just new ones.
I’m also upgrading from a xs max to 12 pro max, to me it’s a decent upgrade, when I had the 12 for 1 day i noticed the speed improvements straight away, the A14 is a beast, apps launch quicker, keyboard felt way more responsive, Qualcomm modem was a big improvement over the intel modem.
Looking forward to using night mode, ultra wide camera, better low light camera, slightly larger screen is a bonus as well, extra 2 gig ram, no more finger prints on the back of the phone thanks to the matte finish.
Glad they went back to the iPhone 4 design.
The 12 series is a decent upgrade for anyone upgrading from a xs and lower.
Can’t wait to get mine.
I am in the same boat as you, debating whether to upgrade to the 12 pro max. I ultimately decided to wait until next year, since the 12 pro max isn't a huge difference (except in cameras but not a good enough decision for me). I don't want to be stuck in a 30-month commitment because I wanted the newest phone, I rather wait for 120hz and notch reduction.
I have a feeling the camera on the Max is gonna be special, and just the addition of Night Mode will be pretty noticeable to you coming from the XS. If I could rock a giant phone, that would be a no-brainer upgrade for me.
But I’ve done the exercises, cardboard mockup and all, and I. Just. Can’t. The 12PM is a beast.
