Had no intention of buying a new phone this year but with the bogo available due to potentially switching carriers it would be crazy not to if I do switch this year.

Anyways, I’m sure I don’t ‘need’ a Max but it does look beautiful, surprisingly loving the gold. What do you folks who use plus size phones utilize the screen for? Is it just better for watching videos?
 
Videos no doubt but it also helps when reading long articles and especially viewing photos. One thing about the X that was extremely annoying was always having to zoom into photos to view them comfortably. It was either that or I had to put it really close to my face to notice details.

Simply by enjoying the bigger screen. Better viewing experience on things like YouTube, IG, Pinterest, websites, games, etc.

It’s really just a preference so I don’t get why people knock the Max for being “big” when that’s the point. It’s like if ain’t for you, that’s fine but no one cares.

I’ve loved larger phones since the plus so I am loving the experience on the max.

Best thing to do if you’re on the fence is to visit Apple, Best Buy or a carrier store and try it out.
