iPhone 15 Pro Max Anyone switched from Pro to Max?

Your reply is just begging for some humor, but I'll refrain. 😂

This is completely a personal preference. For some the Max is too big, for others it's not. Only thing we can definitively say is that the battery life is better on the Max. And the camera I suppose, if you care about 5x optical zoom.

I continue to emphasize that the PRO screen is better than the MAX.

Brighter, whiter and more uniform whites.

No, but even if so - apple car play also destroys my battery especially with GPS. Yes - it could 100% be fixed with cords, but I try to avoid brining a bunch of cords wherever I go because there's already enough files, booklets, and other documents in my laptop bag. I'm realizing this is a personal problem. lmao.

Get a MagSafe car charger/holder. I use Brodit.

I’ve had Max phones since the 11 Pro Max > 12 PM > 13 PM > 14 PM > then got the 15 Pro on pre-order day.
Picked it up on day 1 and loved the new size, but ultimately ended up returning it for the 15 PM.
I really loved the new size for portability and pocket carrying, but missed the screen real estate when typing or reading things. Also the battery was a HUGE step down. I use my phone more than average and just hated having to charge at least once every day.

I’ve had the 15 PM for 2 days and fully happy. The lighter weight and better feel make it an improvement over the 14 PM.

Yeah it’s quiet shocking to have to charge a phone once a day

I doubt that’s true.. the quality seemed the same when I saw them in store.

But yeah I went with pro personally which surprised me with how much bigger the screen is vs my X, it’s a good size. The max isn’t portable enough and I think more awkward to hold. The battery on pro is plenty as someone mentioned there are chargers literally everywhere, I actually had to make an effort to not charge it in order to try draining it.

Believe me, if it is true, I have had 3 PROS and 2 PRO MAX in my house.

And there is a difference, above all the difference is in the brightness, the whiteness and the uniformity.

The Pro's screen is whiter, while the PRO Max's is slightly more yellowish and the white is duller/grayish.

Im still debating if I should return and swap my pro for the max.. yet I’m sitting here typing this one handed on the pro while my other hand is busy stroking my cat here on the sofa. And while it certainly is possible to write with one hand on the max, when I tried my friends Max I felt that it would get pretty tedious quickly.. or do Max owners think otherwise? I do this quite often, chill here, cuddle the cat and do something on the phone at the same time, or equal one handed use, and while I would looove to have the bigger screen I think this might be a big downside?

Interesting.. I guess I have noticed that previously on some android phones when a lot of white is displayed the display will dim a bit I believe to conserve battery or keep voltage draw under control on the OLED screens which use a lot of energy to light up every pixel on a big display. Might be something like that. As far as I recall the max has the same published specs for max brightness nits..

The 15 Pro Display is stunning though that’s for sure, my X looks very dull by comparison

Think it really just depends how big your hands are
