iPhone 15 Pro Max Who regrets their iPhone 15 Pro max

I personally have never had anything smaller than a Max since that variant of iPhone arrived.
I can never go back to a smaller screen personally and the 15 Pro Max has now somehow managed to not only get down to being the lightest Pro Max ever released (even lighter than 11 Pro Max) but it also still retains the gloriously large screen while reducing the overall size of the device.
The 15 Pro Max is by far my favourite Pro Max, glad Apple managed to make it a lot more palm friendly.
No regrets here. Came from a 14PM and I love the weight difference. Thinner bezels and camera are great too. I’ve had zero issues since launch day and I couldn’t be happier!
you can tell the lighter difference, for sure!!
The Apple 2 week window is a gift and a curse. It’s amazing they let us make as many swaps/changes as we want in this 2 week window, but it also makes us 2nd guess every choice we make. If it wasn’t there, we’d just get on with what we have and we’d be fine. Ive gone through this myself, where I also 2nd guess colours or phone sizes etc. Don’t think too much; you went to the Max for a reason. You’ll be fine.
Whether an iPhone 15 Pro Max feels like a "weight" or not is all about what one came from. I came from the 14 P to the 15 PM and the feel transition was easy. No case.
Haha so true… I actually didn’t know there’s a two week buyer remorse period. I went in to get the pro but took the pro max instead, just as I was about to leave the Apple girl told me I can return it within two week. lol rich people problem…
Actually it is a good solid marketing protocol; even better when longer like Costco's 90 days.
E.g. I pay top dollar for Apple's best devices but the ability to return after testing hugely facilitates the process. I just returned an iPad Mini and an iPad Pro because neither is the upgrade I need (yet). But Apple always gets minimum $2K out of me every year so the returns are probably very cost effective to Apple just to keep me in the ecosystem.
It’s perfect from Apple’s perspective. I was speaking from the side of the consumer. It’s great for us but also a big part of why iPhone enthusiasts on MacRumors are so indecisive and easily dissatisfied
I disagree. IMO it is great from the consumers' perspective. What is not to like about weeks of no-questions-asked returns? Folks that are indecisive and easily dissatisfied are that way because of the way they were raised or whatever, not because Apple made them that way.
If you read my original post, I said it’s a positive and negative. Of course it can be a positive but it’s also the reason you see people constantly 2nd guessing phone colour or other silly things, and that’s because they know they can always return it. All power to you if you want to use that window (there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that), but I’m very sure people would be a lot more satisfied with their first purchase if they didn’t know they could return it multiple times over.
Jeans pocket is such an American problem to have heh imo.
As for the weight, just try to use iPad Pro 11" for a little over a week. You will thank how light iPhone 15 Pro Max is. /s
I would pick larger size any day even tho I use iPad Pro way more than iPhone of any sort, for majority of my stuff.

Some people hate the size of it, hence why not everybody buys the Pro Max. That is one obvious reason I can suggest.
After a couple days back with the pro from the pro max, I am relieved to be back to a smaller, more manageable phone, but that pro max was a beautiful device for sure.
It’s possible I could have gotten used to it over time, but there are so many benefits for me to have a phone I can use with one hand. I could pull it off with the max thanks to the Loopy case, but it wasn’t easy or comfortable.
