I ordered the space gray and it arrived today and I got it set up. The gray is sort of a pewter gray .... very nice color. It's not "flat" but changes slightly depending on the angle. The phone is nice. When my Xs and this one were side by side during the syncing I could see a definite difference in the screens. The 11 pro was whiter and clearer.
Got a tip for us?

I noticed that but chalked it up to the fact that my apps are still restoring in the background.
First thoughts? Holy crap this is a heavy phone. Gonna take some getting used to.
Love the green.
Unfortunately my screen was damaged out of the box. Two grooves and a weird shaped scuff that looks to be UNDER the screen.

Guys, anyone experiencing terrible memory issues when switching apps? My apps keep restarting even if I switch out for 1 minute.
Apps get suspended in the background then killed after a set amount of time. Used to be 7 minutes way back then 3 minutes. Wonder if it changed again with iOS 13. Does it happen to select apps or majority? And, are you using camera between switching apps as that may flush and free up memory for camera buffering/processing?

Bummer
I'm not experiencing memory issues. Could it possibly be due to restoring running in the background?
I totally agree. It is noticeably heavier than the XS Max. Hopefully I will get used to it.
I bought a 11 Pro, the 226g of Max version is just insane. My heart wants to try the Max version but my hands no...
I don't know what to do... return the Pro for a Max, or stay with the Pro. Arrrrrgh
I got mine early morning in the morning yesterday (20th September) , I think the phone looks a lot like the XS Max, but the matte finish on the back is something very different. It feels great to hold. Although, it appears to be a bit heavier and thicker than the XS Max. The photographs you can take with the 11 Pro Max are really stunning.

The regular Pro is 188g, so it's also a pretty heavy phone. I wouldn't let the weight be the deciding factor given that the difference between the two really isn't all that much.
Just to confirm are people with the pro or pro max having rough edges where the glass meets the metal?
Very first impression: Dang, this green is BEAUTIFUL!
Very first impression B: Dang, this beautiful green thing is HEFTY!
I really didn’t think the weight would be noticeable, but it definitely is in ‘feelable’ when you’re holding this and a XSM at the same time.
That said, the weight doesn’t bother me at all. We’ll see if it is noticeable when I’m running this evening.

Just picked up the silver - looks elegant and classy. Same with the gold. The space grey and MG look stealth. All good colors. Considering swapping out the silver with either the space grey or mg (and I’ve had white/silver iPhones since the 4)
I’ve taken a few low light photos, looks MUCH better. This will be the killer app

Coming from an X, it feels pretty hefty indeed, but also feels premium and solidly built.
I didn't even know there could be an improvement in signal strength until I saw your post. I am on Verizon but my street is in a "valley" sort of and signal strength usually is about 2-3 bars. Friends with T-Mobile or AT&T have to go outside to even make a call. But ... I just now checked and with the 11 pro it is 4-5 bars.
EDIT: My 4-5 bar range was a fluke. It's back to 2-3 bars for Verizon at my house just like my Xs.

Night mode is crazy good! Wow! Here’s my side by side comparison between my XS Max (which will soon be shipped off) and my new 11 Pro Max. Yes it was really as dark as it looks in the first photo.

I thought the exact same thing! It feels much heavier (to me) than my XS Max. As much as I prefer the larger screen, I might have to exchange this for the Pro.
