I have had the same question before buying my first max, and now I can tell you that is not that big, it is great, I will never buy smaller phone. My daughter is using my old max and she also is very fine with the size

Yes. But if you’re obsessed with battery life like me, it’s a must have. Trade off is worth it, most of the time… I just know I couldn’t deal with less battery size which equals greater battery anxiety. I can barely handle it as is lol.

i was a plus/pro max user for a while and finally switched to regular pro ~~ i loved the big screen and battery and all that but it was getting way too heavy to carry around. i wouldve stayed pro max if i was doing a lot of work and/or taking pictures often on my phone but im not using it enough to take advantage of the big screen and camera quality, it ended up just being a brick i carried around LOL. i dont think it’s “too” big though like it’s still okay to carry around and use for me personally but it definitely was unnecessary to drag that around since im not doing much on the phone anyway.

I’ve got hands that are maybe a little larger than averages. Up until this year, I’ve always bought the largest size iPhone every time one was released. I don’t necessarily think they’re too big. I think the size in conjunction with the weight is what makes them inconvenient/uncomfortable to pocket and handle. Since going with the 15 Pro (my first time choosing the smaller model), I’ve noticed less wrist/thumb strain and how much easier it is to carry- especially in thinner/looser clothing like gym shorts. I miss the screen real estate, and more importantly, the battery life. But I’m enjoying using my phone more comfortably and the way a phone was intended to be used- with one hand.

Pro max is the best

Battery is everything. Pro didn’t last me through the day. Pro max I can cruise through. So I deal with the size

In general, big display have better experience like watching movies or YouTube, games and better battery life, but need try to grab by your hand if it’s comfortable to use and fitting in your pocket

I tried 15 Plus for 2 weeks, ended up returning it. Too big for me.

Currently using 13 Pro, much more comfortable

If have bigger hands should be fine

I‘ve switched back to the Pro, coming from a 13 Pro Max. The Max wasn’t too big to handle for me, but for my personal preferences too big to have it in my pocket all the time when I‘m not at home. I also don’t need that much battery.

Tbh, I would prefer a Pro Mini because of this reason. But that will never happen.

For me nope, but I’ve got big enough hands to manage it. Moved from 13P to 15PM and got used to it in like a day, didn’t notice much difference and not sure I can go back.

I’ve had a pro max 11 and 15 and I love them.

They’re a little awkward for me but the 15 Pro Max is way easier to pocket than my last big phone, the 12 Pro Max, was. A pop socket or MagSafe ring grip is pretty crucial for me with a 6.7” phone.

Depends on your hands for me it’s big (m) where as my friend also had the same but has bigger hands and it’s perfect for him . I’m probably getting a pro model and not the max next whenever I change my phone

So I’m using a Max model for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised how manageable it is. Maybe it’s the softer edges and lighter weight, but it doesn’t feel THAT much larger than my old 14 Pro and I still use it one-handed for many idle tasks.
