can't cast in /apple (sad) but has anyone switched from an iPhone Max back to normal-size iPhone? do you miss the larger size? i'm considering going back after 2 years. only downside of the Max is that it is a bit big for women's pockets (lol), but i'm not sure what the upside is beyond larger screen?

Yes I went from a Pro to a Normal Size 16 I like being able to handle my phone on one hand comfortably without feeling it will slip through my hand or something. The only other upside for a max imho is longer battery life if you care about that

Larger screen can give you a better watching experience I think. But I prefer the smaller one

I went back a couple years ago and don’t miss the larger size at all. Max has a larger battery though in addition to the screen.

lol, I wrote a whole cast about it with photos and now I can’t even find it anymore because I casted it in /apple so my post has been removed. I went from the 15 ProMax which I only bought for the camera to the 16 Pro and I’m super happy about that! Fit in all my pockets again. Photo left to right. 15 Pro Max -> 16 Pro - 3G

i can barely reach the other corner of my screen (one handed) on my normal size iphone, which is annoying

I don’t think the screen matters much, rather the battery life. The upside with Max is significantly better battery life. I went from iPhone 11 Max to iPhone 13 Pro to now back to iPhone 16 Pro Max.

I don’t want to sound old and lame BUT….honestly I’m thinking of switching back to a smaller phone purely because I’m developing RSI using a max…

I switched back after 2 years later cycle and I don’t miss it. I miss the extra batter power but screen size I can now handle with one hand super easily and fits pockets way better like you said. The larger hurt to walk with sometimes

You'll miss the Max battery life. it's unkillable.

yeah I can’t do the heavy phones.. makes my hands ache much sooner with frequent use.. Using a 14 Pro.. but looking at the 16 pro. No Max unless you don’t mind holding that weight

I sized down a few years ago and I don’t miss anything. The only drawbacks have been in the years where there were hardware differences in the camera

Went from max to pro and didn’t look back. Was concerned because I have large hands but didn’t really notice the difference and it’s no longer obnoxious in the pocket.
