I bought an 11 Pro Max on launch day last year (yes, I usually upgrade every year), and when the 12 Pro launched before the 12 Pro Max this year, I convinced myself that I didn’t need the larger phone and ordered the 12 Pro. It arrived, and is a great phone but I missed the battery life of the larger phone and I’m always victim to the siren song of an improved camera. So I ordered the 12 Pro Max and sold the 12 Pro (supply constraints meant I was able to get back what I paid for it). Picking up the 12 Pro Max, coming from the 12 Pro, felt like coming home. Big screen, great battery life, and there’s a 5G UWB tower across the street from me, so when I am near the windows I get blazing fast 5G in my apartment. I like big phones and I cannot lie.
