iPhone 13 Pro Max For those who upgraded from previous Max sized phones to the 12 Pro Max / 13 Pro Max, how long did it take to adjust to the shape change?

Hi, I’ve been on the XS Max since launch and really liked the size of it. I could do everything one handed (control center, notifications, typing etc)

So for those people who had previous Max sized iPhones and upgraded to the new boxy design 12 Pro Max and 13 Pro Max, how long did it take to adjust to the size?

Just wondering because I got my 13 Pro Max and I have less confidence using this phone one handed than my old XS Max. Wonder if this is something you eventually get used to or if I should downsize (weight is a non-issue)

Give yourself some time, about a week and a half and you’ll feel more comfortable.

Went from 12 Mini to 13 Pro Max and I’m still getting used to it. I do miss being able to one hand the Mini but I am trying to let myself get used to the Max. We will see…

wow. I can’t imagine going from the 12 Mini for a whole year and jumping up to the 13 Pro Max.

I feel personally i’m slowly getting used to the size so much so that my XS Max looks smaller than i remembered (if that makes sense).

What made you jump from the 12 Mini to the Pro Max?

I wanted to try the other extreme and see what true battery life is like. Pro Max battery definitely a beast. One hand use not so much. The decision is still in the air…

My advice is to get a good, grippy case and that should help with the comfort. But it did (and still does) take some readjustment to use it like the 11PM because of the flat edges and increase screen size.

yeah back when the 11 Pro Max got announced and Apple claimed a 5 hour improvement over the XS Max. That is when I knew I had to upgrade to a Max sized iPhone.

Also the 13 Pro Max battery is amazing. My XS Max would last around 6-7 hours of total battery life. This 13 Pro Max i have is on its 14 and a half hours of total battery life at 1%. I’m shocked how much better it is.

Charged it to 100% on Monday 10:30pm and it’s Wednesday 12:50am. i’m amazed.

Only took me a couple days going from a 12 pro to 13 pro max but, I have always used two hands even with smaller iPhones.
