I know. There’s already two billion iPhone 13 Pro Max reviews out there.
But in researching for my own upgrade, I couldn’t find anything in-depth on the experience of transitioning from the (very popular) iPhone X to the much larger and heavier Pro Max. It seems like the bulk of the respectable nerd reviewers out there see the existence of the Max iPhone as a kind of evolutionary joke (“how big ARE your thumbs?”) and their reviews tend to focus on the smaller Pro size. Finally, reviewers these days seem to have assumed that everyone has already settled on what size device they prefer, but I sure hadn’t.
The state of the iPhone lineup has changed quite a bit since I last decided between the big phone and the really big phone, and so I’m sharing my experience shifting to the iPhone Maximus.
In fact, I was so ambivalent about which size iPhone to get, that I went a little nuts and made myself a true to size/weight prototype to carry around in my pocket for a few days before pulling the trigger.
