After a lot of considerations I am convinced that the Xs Max is all for me and I am really, really happy with my choice! In the end the Max gives me more satisfaction and in my opinion it is the best iPhone so far! The screen is amazing and I enjoy it again and again.
How is your experience and are you still happy with it?

im loving it too...
went from 7plus to X to 8 plus then back to X about 5 months ago...X is just too small in size for me.
Max somehow feels smaller than my 8plus.
Max is perfect along with upgrading to AW4 from an AW0
very happy with both upgrades this year.

For me the pros outweigh the cons. Yes it’s big and can be cumbersome to handle as I have small hands as well as to carry in a trouser pocket. But I love the bigger display virtually edge to edge display as well as things like the better Face ID recognition and faster performance. I also appreciate the better camera even though I don’t really delve deeply in the art of photo taking with it. Overall I’m really happy with with and pretty much what I wanted from Apple.

I usually almost "Always" have issues with what I buy. This is one product that has kept me at peace. I like it a lot and have no regrets about the color or the phone. Size is perfect. I used to use the iphone 6s plus. I guess I'm getting old and like bigger screens.

At first it took me some time to get used to the bigger screen, but now it's growing on me. i'm obsessed... also I can't get over how much louder the speaker are. I was watching a Netflix video while cooking and only had the volume 2/3 of the way up and it was simply perfect.

I love mine. It too somehow feels smaller than than the 8 plus. I laugh at the trouser pocket comments often. I just wear Craghopper shirts with a large map pocket. It sits nicely there and never have the need to pop it in a trouser pocket.

I hope very soon

So you have a max and have apps that do not use the full screen ? Major apps according to iapel

Seems all of mine take advantage of it
Major apps too.

Apparently since he did not answer he does not have one but your signature states you do.

No I mean other apps, the screen is not yet optimally used by apps
