Does anybody know what the dimensions will be? I have big hands but I don't want to preorder the thing not knowing the size. What do you guys think about the 6.7 inch screen and will it be drastically different from the 11 Pro Max sizing?
 
Apple release tech specs in launch day on website. So you can’t preorder without knowing them.
 
This is all that's available until the official release so take it as speculation at best

how do people get dummy units of these?
I've seen them on Ebay..coming from China usually and take weeks to arrive. Some of the popular people on Youtube (doing reviews, unboxing, etc.) These people just get sent dummy units to them.

Personally I would love to have a dummy unit of like an iPhone 7. Why?? In case I'm out and about in the city, get robbed God forbid. Of course they would want my phone (which is usually in my pocket) - just gota make sure they get the dummy phone.


*I know, sounds silly...but what can I say. "Bad things (sometimes) happen in Philadelphia" 😒
 
If “Pro Max” goes to a 6.7” screen this year I’m down sizing to the “pro” AS LONG as the Pro abs Pro Max have same cameras. These big phones starting to get kinna annoying.

That’s why I sold my 11 pro max and bought a used 11 pro in August. Thought maybe I would regret my decision, but not so far, really like the size, and I really like the space grey color too.

Only benefit of the MAX if cameras are the same will be battery life. I’m tired of buying, carrying and dealing with a BIG Phone deal when battery life is as decent as it is. If I’m without power or charger I have far bigger problems than my phone being dead

I've heard of people carrying a second almost empty wallet but never a dummy phone. What a world we live in...
 
I can't wait for the "flat" sides. DW can't stand them. I think it gives it a more "sleek" industrial look (no curves, all straight lines, except for the outside corners).
 
My XS Max in comparison to the 12 Pro Max dummy unit.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat if I wasn't afraid it'd be one HEAVY sucker. I love the screen size of my Pro Max, but I'm primarily a shorts kinda guy and it's just way heavier than I'd like it to be in pocket. Gonna wait and see how the 6.1 Pro version feels before I commit this year. Great pictures by the way!

I have to agree that the 11 Pro Max is heavier than my XS Max. For the last 18 months, I’ve been buying sleek thin cases for my XS Max which haven’t much bulk or weight. I plan to do the same for the 12 Pro Max. I guess I’m getting boring as all I’ve been buying is clear cases. I used to buy thick cases with lots of color.

I dont want a bigger phone. 6.1 is big enough for me. The latest rumors say that to get the best stuff (lidar, 120 refresh, etc.) you will have to by the biggest phone and that upsets me. I was hoping the 12pro would be as good as the 12max but just smaller, but it seems that's not the case. I dont want to carry around an ipad mini in my pocket, lol.
