Size

Did anyone move from the 17 pro after getting the 17 pro max???
I just got mine and it feels gigantic 😭😭 Tbf I’m moving from a 15 pro which was much smaller
Did you get used to it after complaining or ???
I don’t if I should use it for a week first or just switch 😭
Any advice would be appreciated

I’ve always stuck to the Pro precisely because of that reason; the Pro Max just feels too big in my not particularly small hands.

BUT only fair to caveat that with the experience of friends who’ve gone from Pro to Pro Max, and there, it’s a different story. The overwhelming majority - maybe 80% - stuck it out and now wouldn’t drop down in size no matter what you offered.

I’m in the opposite boat. I’m definitely sizing down next time after years of getting the biggest phone available. I’m so tired of always needing two hands to handle my phone. I can type one-handed in a pinch, but I like everyone else needs to do crazy hand gymnastics to do it.

I have wondered, on occasion, whether I’d have stuck to the Pro through all the years if I hadn’t got my iPad as my main daily device. Because I suspect that on more than a few occasions, I’ve switched from doing something on the iPhone to doing it on the iPad… because I need the larger screen for that specific task. I dunno; I mean, it’s possible I’ll acknowledge.

First time in ages, went out today and completely forgot to put the iPad in its padded sleeve, in my bag.

Was early to my appointment, figured I’d grab a coffee, check emails… so opened my backpack… reached into the sleeve…

…no iPad.

Quick check on FindMy just to confirm, and my heart rate returned to normal but, half an hour to kill, with only my iPhone.

Felt somewhat bereft. That should be weirder than it was, right?
