I also had a a bent 6Plus. I kept that as a memorabilia. Very Rare screw up event by Apple in its production history. 😃

This is my thought process too. I'm going 12 Pro Silver 512GB. I really want a slightly smaller phone this time, but I do value the better camera. Too bad Apple couldn't fit the new senor in the 12 Pro, but this time I'm picking size over camera.
The screen is wider because the bezels are thinner than the 8 plus.
After reading every post in this thread I finally voted Pro Max.
I used 6+ for 3 years and upgrade to X due to 6+‘s slowness, old design and Touch ID incompatible with my dry cringe fingers. But I did miss 6+ screen as X has narrower screen that make most video smaller than on 6+. I replaced X with 11 because Apple declined to fix X’s faulty touchscreen due to water trigger. But one thing I miss most is telephoto lens in X. Especially outside taking photos of off trail wild animals. I’ll get pro ones for that alone. I still use wife’s 6S+(She’ll get my 11 later) and size really doesn’t bother me at all. And I’m using both hands on 11 anyway. Then, like someone here said, if I’m shoving out $1000, why not get top of line for $100 more. I’m taking mostly family photos so the better sensor shift should help when I chase down my toddler. Thankfully wife ok with waiting three more weeks to ditch the pathetic 16G 6S+ for my 11.
So Pro Max it is.

If you exclusively photograph him/her at night I suppose.
What if you wait until the Max comes out, then decide you want the Non-Max, but the Non-Max is ordered out until January?
I am pro towards Max user. If you see the vote, pro numbers are creeping up and I don’t want to be left out with this week pre-order empty handed. 😅
Bad experience from game console hoarding. It finished stock in 10 mins after launch time. I hope that would not be the case with Apple.
Oh my god, please do not give wrong idea, guys. 😅

I went from 6s Plus to Xr and had initially wanted the XS Max. I guess I felt the Max was hard to justify, since I don’t use the camera much. I like the Xr as a phone, but whenever I read on it or play games, I definitely wish I’d gone with the Max. This time I’m going to treat myself and finally go back to a larger phone/screen. I don’t necessarily need the added camera features, but the LiDar seems to be something that will be more relevant down the road and the additional RAM also will future-proof it versus a regular 12. If I’m going Pro, I may as well go all the way Pro.
I’ll probably go Pro on my next iPad too, but I don’t need the largest one of those. 11” is already sufficiently large. I like the added performance and extra future-proofing of the Pro models (both iPhone and iPad). Not everything they add is relevant to me now, but maybe I’ll use those added features someday.

Then I‘d continue using my X. I enjoyed using this phone for 3 years now, I think I‘ll be able to use it a couple more months
Also, my wife is not yet sold on replacing her 7 with my X, so no hurry there, either
The mini has a far better screen tech than 11 at a far better resolution density.
At night and also when he’s running around for sure. 11’s stabilization is already very good. Hopefully ProMax can take that to another level, less distortion on the background, etc.
I really, really wish that we could see hands-on size and photo comparisons before making the decision.
Haha sad but true. I’m tempted to get the pro because its 3 weeks earlier but the heart wants what the heart wants lol. I’ll try to wait. We have all done a lot of waiting for nothing in 2020 so what’s another 3 weeks.
Nice to see 128gb base storage on the Pro lineup. So for the $100 difference, for me, the bigger screen, bigger battery, and bigger main camera sensor is definitely worth it.
Not sure... I was going to get the Max before I knew the shipping dates, but I'm a bit put off my its size. I used to have a 6 Plus, and now have an X, which feels right. My wife's 8 Plus feels awkward.
XS Max:
- Width: 3.05 inches (77.4 mm)
- Height: 6.20 inches (157.5 mm)
- Depth: 0.30 inch (7.7 mm)
- Weight: 7.34 ounces (208 grams)
- Width: 3.07 inches (78.1 mm)
- Height: 6.33 inches (160,8 mm)
- Depth: 0.39 inch (7.4 mm)
- Weight: 8.03 ounces (228 grams)
iPhone 12 Pro Max for me (blue) and another for my wife (gold). Coming from a iPhone 6S+. Really looking forward to the cameras, especially taking pictures in low light conditions. The 12 Pro Max is almost the same size as the 6S+. Really liking what I am seeing this year from Apple, some great new products.
Really noticing the difference in size
Yeah its not much more in size and you're getting much better camera and battery. Not worth downsizing
but always get sucked back in ...haha
Yep. Now that I have a MacBook, it’s not as important that I have a huge screen anymore. So pro for me. The extra camera stuff on the Max will be an afterthought.
