Other Those who have a Pro Max now, will you get the 13 Pro Max or 13 Pro this time?

12 Pro Max to 13 Pro Max.

I'm used to the big phone again, the extra battery will be nice on shoots, and the camera upgrades seem well worth it.

Im still deciding on going 13 pro or 13 pro max. I’ll be upgrading from a X, so it will be a upgrade no matter which one I choose. I like idea of having a larger screen but worried about the weight, especially if I have a case. Is the weight an issue for users with the 12 pro max?

I think I’m in the minority here, but I will be going from an 11 Pro Max to the 13 Mini. I was told that I would get used to have a large sized phone after being a small phone user all my life. I’ve had the iPhone 5>6>8>11 Pro Max.

Even though this phone has a fantastic battery life and awesome screen, the phone is super inconvenient to use one handed, and I miss how I could easily use smaller phones one-handed(and I have massive hands).

I have an iPad and a Mac hooked up to a large display when I need the screen real estate. I really hope Apple brings the Mini back in the future, or I’ll most likely be going for a 6.1 inch display the next time I upgrade.
 
Terrible choice:( I’m using now xs max and want to switch on 13 pro but I am afraid that I will missing the bigger screen. For sure using 13 pro will more comfortable. I will probably not come back to the office, so theoretically more arguments for the smaller phone.
 
Bigger screen is great for reading, gaming etc. Disappointed ( even though this is an ‘S’ year) that Apple didn’t gives us more
Still deciding
 
I’m in the weird position of owning a lot of phones and find I prefer my Samsung as my big screen media consumption phone. I use a mini as my daily driver, go-everywhere phone. And the battery life on the mini has been fine so I know losing out on Pro Max battery capacity won’t bother me.

I do have a 12 Pro Max and it’s not easy to take places, so I’ll trade it for a 13 Pro. That will keep me in the “pro” camera game for when I need it, because frankly the Samsung cameras don’t quite play at the same level in low light conditions, but their zoom capability is awesome and I can’t wait for iPhones to get that. Meanwhile I’m happy the iPhone Pro camera goes from 2.5 x to 3x.
 
I've always gotten the Max (even though it no longer fits in my Ford Explorer wireless charger bay). I'm just used to it now.
 
I usually keep an iPhone two years, but the 12 Pro Max is just too unwieldy. The only reason I’m breaking my two-year cycle is to unload it for something more manageable. The 13 Pro is large enough.

Out of curiosity, had you had Max devices prior to that?

I’ve had the 8+, XS Max and 11 Pro Max. I tried the 11 Pro and found it too small, but am wondering if the 6.1” display will work better for me now.

These Max devices are not easy on the wrists.
 
I’ve been getting the pro max versions of iPhone. This time around, I’ll go with 13pro. Better battery life than 12pm and easier to carry.

I’m doing the opposite. I’m going back to max after having the 12pro. I miss the screen and battery life.
 
Going from 11 Pro Max to 13 Pro Max. I can’t imagine going to a smaller screen. I wish they would make a iPhone 13 Max. I honestly don’t need most of the “Pro” features.
 
For me, One of the biggest temptations for the Pro Max is the price.

I know it’s silly to call an $1100 phone a “value”, but $100 for a bigger screen and more battery is a bargain IF it fits your needs.
 
Pro Max again. I think I could live with a slightly smaller screen, but the extra battery life on the PM is important to me.
I think battery life would be “good enough” on any model when new, but as the battery degrades PM’s larger capacity will be important
 
Yep. Going from a gold 64GB iPhone 11 Pro Max to a 128GB iPhone 13 Pro Max. Not sure what colour to go for yet, suspect I’ll go for the Sierra Blue, but the silver may also be a nice change so we’ll see.

The double the base storage, much improved cameras and battery life, along with the improvements the 12 series brought such as 5G and a new design are enough to get me to upgrade. That and the £400 I’m getting for this phone which will be passed down to a friend.
 
I’m finally settled now on iPhone 13 Pro and new iPad Mini. Better portability and one-handed use on the go with the iPhone 13 Pro, bigger screen (but not as unwieldy as a full-size iPad) when I want more real estate at home or at the office with the iPad Mini (kept in my briefcase). Best of both worlds!
 
I had the 11 PM and 12 PM. I will be going to 13 Pro this time. I’ve been using a iPhone 11 for work for the past 10 months and the size is a perfect balance of screen real estate and usability for me

My wife also has a 12 Pro and every time I use her phone I fall in love with how it feels in the hand.

I’m glad the cameras are the same between both of the Pro models so I don’t get FOMO and I look forward to enjoying my shiny new 13 Pro.
 
I have the big phones since the 7plus. But I am getting tired of the big phones and since the 13p has the same camera as the PM and it’s battery is comparable to thr 12pm, I am downsizing this year. Worst case, I return it and get the PM!
