Yeah, you can wait, just note that typically (at least AFAIK) Apple will probably discontinue the 11 Pro Max the day they launch the 12 Pro Max, so you will have to buy the 11 Pro Max from a retailer that has stock.
You can wait to see if Apple will drop it, or they may do away with the series. Places like Verizon and other carriers are already dropping prices on top of offering you credit on trade ins.
XS and XS max can still be found stocked new in many retailers where I live, and at a heavily discounted price. So there will definitely be new 11 pro max lying around for a while; it's not like apple discontinues a phone and they disappear overnight. In fact, I can even still find new iPhone X being sold at some places and that's been discontinued for 2 years.
Don’t most people buy from retailers anyway to get a better deal rather than direct from Apple who lock the price? I don’t think I’ve ever bought an iPhone direct from Apple.
Here in South Africa we have no choice but to buy from retailers lol, so yeah, but I know it’s different for many who are in places where Apple sell directly.
To be fair Apple sell directly where I live but carriers tend to offer better deals and so do mobile comparison sites like USwitch etc. It’s nice to have the choice I this respect and I suppose you still get people who buy their iPhones at the Apple store just for the experience. I find Apple stores to be a living hell in all honesty and avoid them like the plague lol.
