iPhone 15 Pro Max The Max doesn't seem to have more useable space, why go Max?

You have more real estate and global device text size can be changed in settings, so you can make use of the display however you see fit. If you want to cram a ton of text on and use a small global size, great. The Max has more usable space for this to be practical within, and you can probably notch it a size or two smaller than you'd feel comfortable on the regular Pro. My parents also use the bigger size to enlarge the global text even further to help their eyesight while still feeling like there's enough on screen at once.
Dude, what is wrong with you? If you don't like the Pro Max, then go with the regular Pro! But don't blame others for replying why they chose the Max and why they like it!
What is your point? Does everyone has to be your opinion and throw away their Maxes and pay you homage for opening their eyes, that the regular Pro it THE device for all end everyone????
Man, what's up with some people these days?

Not based on rumours
Being smaller pro it will never be able to fit into the device what the pro max will.
Higher resolution display, battery, and more optical zoom are the only differences I see.
Pro Max is more for those wannabe show-off's who like to just splash the cash and have the best of everything at all times no matter what.
Yeh, kinda like me. Love my Pro Max.

Of course it does have more usable space. Even this forum stretches over the whole page. I think one forgets that the display size is only +0.6 of an inch larger, not double the size. But for what it is, it is absolutely larger.
Wow, I have never drained my 13 pro in the two years I've owned it and I never charge during the day, unless I forgot to charge overnight. I think I've only hit the 20% low-power mode a handful of times. It's the first phone that I've never had to worry about the battery with; it's phenomenal, even at 87ish% health.
The Pro Max is too large and uncomfortable for me, but I get your point about the larger and readable screen. Luckily my vision is still near perfect (at 43), so no need to worry about that for a while. I don't watch video on my phone or do any gaming, so the regular screen is fine.

I have perfect vision but I still enjoy the Max screen for media consumption, a bit more stuff, and battery. I don't know, my old 13P didn't felt it cost as much as it did, other than having terrible battery life. But with the Max I kinda have that YEAH NOW THIS IS WORTH MY MONEY AND IT SHOWS feeling. Also I can manage the size quite comfortably it seems. Not thinking about going back to a regular Pro atm
Because some people have preferences that are different than yours.
Just the larger keyboard was enough for me. My last three iPhones have been MAX and I can not imagine going back. I handle my friends Pro and it seems so small now. The ProMax is not for everyone but it is great for Apple to give us options! My eyes are not a young as they used to be and I get by without my glasses just fine with the Max. Also battery life is a huge plus for many!
Again I have both can hardly tell a difference if at all. In fact I was expecting more from the max.

I use my phone for portability and still have access to everything. I use my iPad for streaming and anything where I need bigger screen real estate. I’m all about having a small cross body bag but still be able to carry all my necessities. The regular Pro suits my needs. I used to have the larger Plus phones but then they got heavier and heavier. Switched from the 6S Plus to the X and have stayed with the smaller phone ever since. The Pro Max also wouldn’t fit in my back pocket on my walks.
To each his/her own, right?

thats my main issue, is pocketabiltiy, hiking, traveling for work etc.
?? You are not thinking. Larger display is easier to see/read, period. Fonts can be larger, the same image on a larger display is easier to see, image editing is easier, etc.
P.S. Study up on vision. Not all loss of vision is correctable by glasses. I am finding that out the hard way...
