I’m using both the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max right now and due to the better weight distribution, the 16 Pro Max feels lighter and more comfortable to hold. (Without a case). Go figure.

Been trying the 16 Pro Max alongside the 16 Pro and oddly enough the 16 Pro Max feels lighter than the 16 Pro due to the weight distribution over a larger surface area.

So the only pending consideration to keep the 16 Pro Max is the overall comfort using the larger size for day to day activities.

Give it a shot.

After using both 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max simultaneously for a week, the 16 Pro Max feels lighter ironically due to better weight distribution across the larger surface. The 16 Pro feels denser and top-heavy so not as pleasant to hold, go figure.

It’s a big phone, but it feels no more cumbersome than the 15 pro max.

I wish I would have gotten the smaller size personally because right after I got mine work decided we can’t work from our phones anymore and I would prefer the smaller size since I try and spend less time on my phone.

If someone is on the fence and uses their phone a lot would probably benefit from the increased size provided it’s Not too big.
