Just a little different take to see what type of movement folks might be making. I would love to hear your personal reasons. Remember we are all individuals with personal experiences and our opinions may be subjective but our preferences and reasons of for those are real. Not a bash thread, not a one-up thread. Just friendly discussion of a decision that is easy for some, and mind-numbing for others. I assume anyone else will not be upgrading and thus didn't add that option. I encourage you to specify pro vs non-pro as I imagine others would find that interesting but I didn't want 32 options lol.
 
I'm sticking with the 6.7" Pro Max since I've been on the larger iPhone since the iPhone 6 Plus. I know they came out with a non Pro 6.7" but going from my 13 Pro Max I don't think it would make sense. I would be losing the 2x zoom camera and pro motion display.
 
Going from an iPhone 11 Pro to the iPhone 14 Pro. So since it is 5.8 I guess I'm getting a little more screen.
 
12 Pro Max to 14 Pro Max. Because 2 years on the battery. A 3rd is tough. Couple replace the battery but I can afford a new phone and the trade in makes it a decent price. Going 256GB again. Love my Pacific Blue. Color is the toughest. Gold is out so I’m left with black or white, both of which were colors for so so long, or purple. The only reason purple is in consideration is that the vids I’ve seen it seems to change in the light and the other two feel somewhat boring.

I will be going from a 12 to a 14 Pro Max. I have had the bigger screens before and remember I was excited to downsize when the screen real estate got bigger in the smaller phones; however, I know the larger phone will be more useful as I hate trying to accomplish anything on the Internet on my current phone. I also know that carrying it in my front pocket will not be as easy. I figure I have 14 days to see if it will work for me.

I have seen numerous mention this will be their approach.

I’ve seen this mentality on here a lot too and it perplexes me… the regular pro will still have decent battery life and won’t be as big of a change as the pro max. I have no interest in the mini but it seems people who like it probably enjoy smaller screens, so why not go with the 6.1? Only like super small or super big, but nothing in between?
 
I am looking to go to the 6.1 from a 6.7. The max is has just been to cumbersome to carry in my pocket, and miss being able to use one handed most of the time.

Because I can. If I can't have the smallest, I will have the most...battery. With the most other features as well.
