Different strokes for different folks. I think the new phones are striking. All subjective of course.
Yeah, that fugly camera boil on the back that isn't flush with the casing sure jumps out at you! ;)
 
I can use the note 9 with one hand just fine, I'm sure the Xs max will be the same

I don’t know how many people have told me something like that and then I ask them to show me and try to do something specific one handed and they can’t or really struggle doing it or don’t understand that when I say one handed is not holding it in one hand and using your other hand to control it!
 
Huge, yes, the phones have gotten bigger.
Ugly, that's a matter of opinion, but there's only so many ways to design and manufacture a glass/aluminum/steel rectangle.

I know that’s always bothered you and I’m not thrilled either lol. I guess I’ve just gotten used to it? I use a case so I forget it’s there. But the notch affects my content all day every day.

What about the new phones is so stricking? The “s”? It’s literally the same exact design.
I found the X striking. So....

They really just look incredibly stupid and all require 2 hands to use.

This is a company that once made the nicest phones on the market. Wild.

I’m not seeing your argument here at all. Smart phones in general all really look the same, and because of the larger sizes, it’s more comfortable used to handed. That’s the time that we live in now in this smart phone Era. For the record, Apple still as some of the highest quality standards over any smart phone on the market in the world, which is indicative to its success partially. Its unnecesary to downplay the iPhone build quality.
 
I prefer the troll posts where the OP doesn't sound like a moron. An intelligible, halfway cogent troll post is always amusing to respond to. But a completely ignorant one with no rhyme or reason just isn't any fun.
 
one hand but that was on a 5.5" diagonal and not a 6.5"
Without reachability is v hard and dangerous to break the phone
