iPhone XS Max MAX Users - Will you switch to the “smaller size” or go bigger in 2020?

[StaceyMJ86]

Interesting. How many cases do you usually buy? Sounds like multiple per device?

Between 10-12.

Between 10-12.

Wow, that’s plenty.

I had the Pro Max from November until last Saturday and downsized to the Pro. I got tired of lugging such a cumbersome device around all the time. I will probably not go large again.

 

[firedept]

Ease as in easier to see?

Yes. I need the larger screen an my sight is not what it used to be. I wear trifocals to read.

If the 6.1" has the same landscape apps as the Max, I'll go with that. I'd prefer a bit smaller phone, but the 5.8" is too small for me.

definitely bigger

If you own a 6.5 inch 11 pro Max iPhone doubtful that you’ll see a difference in 6.7 inch iPhone. It’s really negligible

It’s the weight of the phone that’s noticeable, not the size. When Apple starts increasing the size of the phone, you have to add in things like the addition of the extra glass, stainless, larger battery, etc. That’s what gives the effect that the phone ‘feels bigger’, because of the weight of the phone.

I have all of my funds for the new iphone. Now I’m just impatiently waiting for Apple to announce it and have to figure out, if I’m purchasing through Apple or Verizon?

Probably smaller. The Max has better battery life, but the smaller one will probably have better battery than my current XS Max. I'm tired of sliding my hand up and down my phone to reach things and using it with one hand, if I want a bigger screen for video I'll use my iPad.

 

[SquealingCustard]

Going for a Max again, so used to my S20U that anything smaller just won't do plus when I had my previous 11 pro Max the battery life was epic.

 

[jbachandouris]

Bigger. My 53 year old eyes can't handle a smaller phone.

The 5s/SE size hurts my eyes just looking at it.

 

[iFone88]

I'm gonna downsize - If the rumours are true that the 12 Pro will be 6.1" then that's the perfect size for one handed use for me.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Go bigger definitely!

I'm on the same boat! Which one are you getting? September seems so long away

12 Pro Max

 

[AustinIllini]

i'm not sure. I'm thinking about getting a larger drive and a smaller phone.

I went XS Max -> 5.8” Pro. Best decision ever, the big screen is great for a bit but doesn‘t enable anything valuable other than more/bigger content (that may sound obvious, and I get that some people find that useful in itself, but it’s not like the days of the 7 Plus where the bigger size got you another camera and Portrait mode), and is significantly harder to use with one hand.

I’m on the IUP - the 5.8” is pretty perfect, hopefully the rumoured 6.1” won’t be too big a jump in size. The 5.4” is very intriguing, but I will wait to see what it lacks vs the Pro line.

 

[LFC2020]

Currently have a xs max, will be going 6.7” pro next phone, was hoping they'd release a 7“ pro max.

 

[Jimbo562]

going to go bigger

I wouldn’t mind a 7” pro Max instead of 6.7”.

That’s getting ridiculous. That’s not even a phone anymore, that’s ‘Phablet’. At what point do we say smart phones Need to stop getting larger to the point where they’re not practical for ‘every day carry‘.

There have been so many days I felt the 6.5 XS Max/11 Pro Max are too small and wished for a bigger device. I have 0 issues using my XS Max one handed as well as with 2 hands. As long as Apple keep offering the different sizes they have it shouldn’t be a problem to keep making bigger devices. I do think 7” would be the biggest I would buy for a phone.

Why is there no poll? Make a poll!

I’m not upgrading this fall. I have the 11 pro max, but I couldn’t imagine going any bigger. If anything, I’d go smaller.
