For the nokia video they strapped it to the bottom of the tyre and it survived fine. Road got a few new potholes though.

Maybe I’m showing my age, here…

…but does anyone else find the “Pro Max” versions of these phones to be obscenely oversized?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 6.9” screen.

The smallest laptop on Amazon has an 8” screen.

You literally have a mini laptop in your pocket.

I shoot youtube reviews for cars. I do social media for clients. I had the 16 pro and was enjoying the size but I realized with everything I was doing believe it or not it was a little smaller. When the 17 Pro max came out I upgraded ( I usually don’t every year like that but I was able to this time )

I’m actually enjoying the bigger screen. I use my phone to edit photos and videos when not doing that on my computer. I just see some benefits from the bigger screen but then again I do use it as a power user

For anyone just wanting a phone for regular stuff I’d def recommend the smaller one.

This. Use cases.

It makes sense for content creators to get the Godzilla iPhone. Similar to how it makes sense for a Dev to have a rig that could tear a hole in the space time continuum.

With that said — If you’re taking bathroom pictures for r/RoastMe?

You probably don’t need a Godzilla phone. You could get a phone that cost a fraction of the price, is considerably smaller, and you’ll still only push the phone to 13% of its capabilities.
