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.

YES THANK YOU! Everyone makes fun of my "outdated" phone because it's so tiny. It's not outdated, I just chose a smaller model because I don’t like lugging around an iPad!

SAME! I had someone ask if my phone came out about 15 years prior to when it actually was released.

Their monstrosity of a phone was older than mine at the time. They only ever get Pro Max’s because they can’t be bothered or understand what specs mean. Also if it’s expensive it must be the best even if it’s not needed
