iPhone Pro vs Pro Max

I've been holding off buying an iPhone as the new one is due to launch next month. I've had the plus/max sized phones since they became a thing (2014) and I've been fine with it but a few months ago I just became frustrated with the size being too big and heavy/not fitting in my bags etc and thought I would change to the Pro which means going from 6.7inch to 6.1inch - really the only differences between the Pro and Pro Max's are screen size and battery.

Has anyone else ever gone down from the Max to Pro and what was the transition like? Did you regret it?

I'm like you, had a plus/max ever since they were available. Personally I would never go down a size from the size I have now (and have had for a while)
If the only reason for you is so it fits places easier, I'd say it's not worth it. You've had it this long, I think you will really notice having a smaller screen. It might not seem like much but it is a big difference!

I've never had the plus/max sizes, the normal Pro is perfect. DH always has the bigger ones and they are too big for pockets, heavy in bags and harder to fix onto car holders for sat nav. Those things really make a difference to me and the screen is so sharp on the normal 14 pro that I've never felt the need for a bigger screen.

Yes I have! I had 11 pro max and I loved the size like you said it’s a bit bigger and then now I got 14 pro which is a bit smaller and at first I didn’t like the size because it a bit smaller than pro max but 6 months of having it I actually like it.
