Apple

For me nope, but I’ve got big enough hands to manage it. Moved from 13P to 15PM and got used to it in like a day, didn’t notice much difference and not sure I can go back.

I‘ve switched back to the Pro, coming from a 13 Pro Max. The Max wasn’t too big to handle for me, but for my personal preferences too big to have it in my pocket all the time when I‘m not at home. I also don’t need that much battery.

Tbh, I would prefer a Pro Mini because of this reason. But that will never happen.

I am 6’9” with large hands.

I got the PM a week ago. Equipped it with a minimal case. Annnnnd I am torn. It still is a little too big for 1 hand use comfortably. My pinky is stresssed after propping it up. Maybe a socket would help, idk.

I do feel myself getting used to it, but I came from an 11 (6.1”), and that honestly feels like the sweet spot.

Can’t beat the battery though. My day starts at 4:30AM and my battery is at 65% by 9PM with typical use (maps, browsing, etc).

I’ve been using the max size since it was introduced with the XS Max and have had every gen and wouldn’t consider going back down to the “regular” size. I find the additional screen and battery brings more benefit than drawbacks and unless you have particularly small hands, the size isn’t “problematic”. I can use it one-handed with ease and have completely, to the mm, average sized hands for a male.

Now the rumor mill suggesting the max (or ultra as it may be called) will be bumped up from 6.7” to 6.9” and although that’s a nice number, I find 6.7” to be the ideal size (again with my 100% average hand size) and even incrementing upward just that small bit will potentially discourage a lot of current max owners from continuing to purchased the larger sized devices. It will be a hard decision, imo, because I find the “regular” size phones to be too small.

No its a decent size. When I first got the 13 Pro Max after the XR it took some getting used to it, but the 15 Pro Max feels normal. I actually can understand why they are making the phones even bigger though they can't that much bigger before they won't fit in pants pockets though.

Depends on your hands for me it’s big (m) where as my friend also had the same but has bigger hands and it’s perfect for him . I’m probably getting a pro model and not the max next whenever I change my phone

So I’m using a Max model for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised how manageable it is. Maybe it’s the softer edges and lighter weight, but it doesn’t feel THAT much larger than my old 14 Pro and I still use it one-handed for many idle tasks.

Pro max is the best

No

I just switched from the Pro Max to the regular Pro, and I don’t think I’d ever go back. The smaller size is easier to carry & use. I do miss the battery life of the Pro Max, but since I’m always surrounded by chargers, it’s not that big of a deal.

If Apple can make a better battery for the regular Pro models, they will have created the perfect phone.

I think it’s fine honestly, use a popsocket and it’s even better.

I went from a 6.1 to a 6.7 15PM and it’s too heavy and big for me. I have medium hands 🙌 and the large size aggravates my carpal tunnel. I spend less time on the 6.7 and plan on going back to the latest 6.1 base in 2 years.

For me especially with smaller hands, the Pro Max or the Plus are just annoying to use for everyday use.

They’re a little awkward for me but the 15 Pro Max is way easier to pocket than my last big phone, the 12 Pro Max, was. A pop socket or MagSafe ring grip is pretty crucial for me with a 6.7” phone.

I have had the same question before buying my first max, and now I can tell you that is not that big, it is great, I will never buy smaller phone. My daughter is using my old max and she also is very fine with the size

I’ve had a pro max 11 and 15 and I love them.

I’ve got hands that are maybe a little larger than averages. Up until this year, I’ve always bought the largest size iPhone every time one was released. I don’t necessarily think they’re too big. I think the size in conjunction with the weight is what makes them inconvenient/uncomfortable to pocket and handle. Since going with the 15 Pro (my first time choosing the smaller model), I’ve noticed less wrist/thumb strain and how much easier it is to carry- especially in thinner/looser clothing like gym shorts. I miss the screen real estate, and more importantly, the battery life. But I’m enjoying using my phone more comfortably and the way a phone was intended to be used- with one hand.

i was a plus/pro max user for a while and finally switched to regular pro ~~ i loved the big screen and battery and all that but it was getting way too heavy to carry around. i wouldve stayed pro max if i was doing a lot of work and/or taking pictures often on my phone but im not using it enough to take advantage of the big screen and camera quality, it ended up just being a brick i carried around LOL. i dont think it’s “too” big though like it’s still okay to carry around and use for me personally but it definitely was unnecessary to drag that around since im not doing much on the phone anyway.

Yes. But if you’re obsessed with battery life like me, it’s a must have. Trade off is worth it, most of the time… I just know I couldn’t deal with less battery size which equals greater battery anxiety. I can barely handle it as is lol.

I tried 15 Plus for 2 weeks, ended up returning it. Too big for me.

Currently using 13 Pro, much more comfortable

In general, big display have better experience like watching movies or YouTube, games and better battery life, but need try to grab by your hand if it’s comfortable to use and fitting in your pocket

If have bigger hands should be fine

Battery is everything. Pro didn’t last me through the day. Pro max I can cruise through. So I deal with the size
