Definitely a keeper. My 10 lasted 3 years (and is being gifted) The 12 Max has a fantastic screen I can read with my old guy eyes, and it SOUNDS fantastic! Battery life reminds me of my old Treo .. I can go 2 days without a charge.
Battery life really is nuts even with smaller battery for me thats enough of a reason to be happy with the biggest model.
The Plus displays are too blue, you’re just used to it. Displaymate has confirmed that the 12 Pro Max display is the most accurate phone display they’ve ever tested.
Indeed. I went almost 3 days with minimal slow charging (wired CarPlay only on my commute) with a brand new device that was indexing, etc and using it at work and home plenty. I’m blown away at the longevity. It’s truly fantastic and has doubled my expectation. Getting though one full day (that’s 5am to 10pm) is good enough for me. 3 days!? Overjoyed.
It’s a keeper for me too. #1 display. #1 camera system. #1 processor. #1 materials and quality. #1 resale value (if that day ever comes).
To me dropping back down from the 12 Pro Max having had the 11 Pro Max would be like dropping TV sizes, it's just not gonna happen.
I say go big or go home!

Had it for over 5 days and absolutely no complaints. No regrets from switching from my Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.
I’m not sure, it’s definitely a bit bigger then my XS max but after several days I’m used to it. I absolutely love the flat design.
Also, the screen is noticeably better then the XS Max. Colors pop more.

Oh my I'm so afraid ?
I'm currently on a regular iPhone 12, temporary, until my Pro Max arrives.
I really like this 12 (I'm coming from an XR) and now I'm freaking out that the Pro Max will be too big.
C'mon Pro Max lovers, convince me there's no need to be afraid ?

well, for me, the biggest difference is the display, i know its the same display but there is something about the larger max display, it looks to vibrant and nice!
I have always being in the plus iPhone club so definitely it will be a keeper when it arrives. Going from the 6‘5 inch 11 Pro Max screen estate to 6’7 won’t make any difference to my use case. As they say; go big or go home
Ive had large phones since they first started making them. Why would I want to view this beautiful display on a tiny, tiny screen? That would be like the pictures I’ve seen of the first televisions; a massive cabinet with a screen smaller than a small goldfish bowl. ?
dont be afraid i sold my 11 pro max and went to SE and now using 12 pro Max. Love it to bits!
It’s definitely a keeper for me. Love the square sides and the extra screen real estate.
I’m debating... The Max has the dreaded green/yellow tint going on..while the Pro is so much better ( whiter, brighter and sharper )
I’d love to keep the Max, if nothing else, for the battery.. but can’t get past the inferior screen that’s killing the whole UX .. I would exchange it but first it seems like the replacements folks are getting sent aren’t much better and second TMobile is backordered and the associated promos ( trade in rebate and loyalty promo rebate ) expired on 11/14
So.. yea..

Hubby and I love these phones the square edges easier to hold and the screen size we missed it a lot! We both had iPhone 11's and missed bigger screen! Never going back to a smaller size phone again! So yes for us a major keeper!!
lol if xs max to 12 pro max isn't a big enough jump your out of lock for next year.
